Human nature : nine ways to feel about our changing planet / by Marvel, Kate,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."A captivating exploration of climate change that uses nine different emotions to better understand the science, history, and future of our evolving planet. Scientist Kate Marvel has seen the world end before, sometimes several times a day. In the computer models she uses to study climate change, it's easy to simulate rising temperatures, catastrophic outcomes, and bleak futures. But climate change isn't just happening in those models. It's happening here, to the only good planet in the universe. It's happening to us. And she has feelings about that. Human Nature is a deeply felt inquiry into our rapidly changing Earth. In each chapter, Marvel uses a different emotion to explore the science and stories behind climate change. As expected, there is anger, fear, and grief -- but also wonder, hope, and love. With her singular voice, Marvel takes us on a soaring journey, one filled with mythology, physics, witchcraft, bad movies, volcanoes, Roman emperors, sequoia groves, and the many small miracles of nature we usually take for granted. Hopeful, heartbreaking, and surprisingly funny, Human Nature is a vital, wondrous exploration of how it feels to live in a changing world"--

A song of ash and moonlight / by Legrand, Claire,1986-author.;
"The Ashbournes' war with the Bask family is over. Kilraith's curse has been broken. But Lord Gideon Ashbourne doesn't want peace; he wants revenge. And the only thing standing in his way is his eldest daughter: the unflappable, tireless Farrin. But Farrin's composure masks a seething sorrow. Since her mother abandoned the family, Farrin's been their rock-managing her father's temper, running the estate, looking after her sisters. She isolates herself from anything that could distract or hurt her: pleasure, her own musical power, and, most of all, love. Enter Ryder Bask. In Ryder, an enemy turned reluctant ally, Farrin's stubborn strength has met its match. The man infuriates her. He's coarse, arrogant, stupidly handsome. He oozes sex, while Farrin can't bear the sight of her own naked body, and he brims with some secret anger that mirrors Farrin's own frustrated rage. Unfortunately, Farrin must work with every ally she can. The Middlemist is weakening, allowing passage between Edyn and the Old Country that throws both realms into chaos. Anointed magicians are disappearing in strings of violent abductions. A fiery Olden creature is stalking Farrin. Meanwhile, debilitating visions plague the High Queen Yvaine, and horrifying rumors tear across the world: the gods are not dead. They're waking up. And someone is hunting them. As Farrin and Ryder race to find stolen loved ones and stop Kilraith's demented machinations, an earth-shattering passion erupts between them, breaking down Farrin's protective barriers at last and allowing her to be wholly, unabashedly, herself"--

Sun house / by Duncan, David James,author.;
"A bolt from an Aero México DC-8 falls from the sky, killing a Mexican girl and throwing the faith of a young American Jesuit into crisis. Jamey van Zandt's mother dies on his fifth birthday, sparking a lifetime of repressed anger that he only unlashes once a year when he recklessly duels the Fate, God, or Power who let the coincidence happen. A young woman, Risa McKeig, runs through the streets of Seattle searching for a "shooting star moment" that will pierce her world with a love that will eventually help heal both the Jesuit and the angry actor. The sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes hilarious journeys of this "unintentional menagerie" carry them to the healing lands of Montana's Elkmoon Beguine & Cattle Company, where nothing tastes better than four fingers of Maker's Mark mixed with glacier ice, nothing sounds lovelier than a lone flycatcher's mating song, and nothing seems less likely than the delight a bunch of urban sophisticates, Montana cowboys, road-weary musicians, and spiritual refugees begin to find in each other's company"--
