The world deserves my children / by Leggero, Natasha,author.; Leggero, Natasha.Essays.Selections.;
"A laugh-out-loud funny collection of insightful and razor-sharp essays on motherhood in our post-apocalyptic world from comedian Natasha Leggero. When Natasha Leggero got pregnant at forty-two after embarking on the grueling IVF process, she was over the moon. But once her feelings of bliss dissipated, she couldn't help but shake the lingering question: Am I doing this right? And then, Should I be doing this if the world is about to end? In The World Deserves My Children, Natasha explores themes like "geriatric" motherhood, parenting in an environmental panic, fear and love, discipline (and conflicting schools of thought on how not to raise a brat), and more. Ultimately, Natasha determines that motherhood is worth it. After all, where do you think the next five generations of humans will be if the only people who are having kids don't believe in science? The world deserves my children"--

Urgent! : save our ocean to survive climate change / by Watson, Paul,1950-author.;
"A Pandora's box of environmental disasters has been opened, threatening the ability of the natural world to recover and humanity to survive. From devastating fires and storms to the emergence of deadly new viruses, it?s become impossible to deny the terrifying reality of climate change. URGENT! explains the apocalyptic scenario that is our future if we don?t act now. Humans are among the many species facing extinction, and our lifestyles are to blame. Governments, corporations, and the media have been negligent and reckless in their response to the repercussions of climate change. We drain our resources on military budgets, yet ecowarriors are branded ecoterrorists and persecuted. There still is time to mitigate some of the consequences of the climate crisis. Watson provides a roadmap for us to navigate a way out by lowering our carbon footprint, becoming actively involved, and drawing on our passion and courage to find potential solutions."

How to survive everything / by Morrison, Ewan,author.;
"My name is Haley Cooper Crowe and I am in lockdown in a remote location I can't tell you about. Haley and Ben live with their mother. But with inside knowledge of a new, deadlier-than-ever pandemic that's about to overwhelm them, their father is determined to get them to the safety of his secret hideaway ... Problem is, there is no way their mother will go along with this plan. When their father kidnaps them and takes them to his prepper compound, they have no contact with the outside world. They're fully equipped with rations and emergency kit, but they face deeply conflicting views of reality with no reliable source of news. Will they survive, save their mother, deter intruders and keep everyone safe? This is Haley's account of how to navigate the collapse of society, family and everything she knows."--Provided by publisher.

City of orange / by Yoon, David,author.;
"A man wakes up in an unknown landscape, injured and alone. He used to live in a place called California, but how did he wind up here with a head wound and a bottle of pills in his pocket? He navigates his surroundings, one rough shape at a time. Here lies a pipe, there a reed that could be carved into a weapon, beyond a city he once lived in. He could swear his daughter's name began with a J, but what was it, exactly? Then he encounters an old man, a crow, and a boy--and realizes that nothing is what he thought it was, neither the present nor the past. He can't even recall the features of his own face, and wonders: who am I? Harrowing and haunting but also humorous in the face of the unfathomable, David Yoon's City of Orange is a novel about reassembling the things that make us who we are, and finding the way home again."--

Erin, once quiet and closeted, acquires an appetite for a woman and her brain. Why does forbidden fruit taste so good?
