FROM THE GLOBAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR She means to save us by telling us stories. . . She comes closer than anyone else I know ANN PATCHETT [Kingsolver] reminds us that a novel can be wildly entertaining and still have a social conscienceNEW YORK TIMES, 100 Best Books of the 21st Century (on Demon Copperhead)Youve taken Demon to your hearts, prepare for another emotionally raw, riotously entertaining read as you meet Livia.Heres my question: How does a person step in front of a train and leave everything right there? Livia Bohusz misses her big brother, Cyrus. But since the day he took his own life, a day that changed everything, eleven-year-old Livia has also known she has no choice but to survive.Her solace is music. A gifted pianist, Livias only escape is the quiet rapture it brings as she practices. The promise of a new life her talent might offer is intoxicating, a life away from the stifling silence that has enveloped the farm since Cyrus death.When Livia starts college as a music major and scholarship prodigy, it feels as if a new life might begin. Immersing herself in her passions in a world where she excels, even as she struggles to fit in with more urbane classmates, she glimpses the possibilities of a life beyond the farm and her parents.Then one springtime, the smell of reviving grass and crocuses and the sounds of songbirds fill the air, and Livia catches a glimpse of shirt sleeves rolled to the elbow, muscles you wouldnt miss in the rear view:Who is that man?It is a question Livia may come to wish she had never asked.Partita is Livias story: It is a tale of thwarted ambitions, accumulated pain, of newfound hope, unexpected love, and endless resilience. It is as compelling and profound as the pieces Livia has mastered, and as heart-rending and engrossing as the music that makes, breaks and mends her.Readers love Barbara Kingsolver: Barbara Kingsolvers way with words is beyond description!

Rediscover Humanitys Worth Through Christs Incarnation In our rapidly changing world, we face a rising tide of threats to our humanity. From artificial intelligence and the erosion of free speech to bioengineering and euthanasia, the humanistic values we cherish, like intrinsic human rights and the dignity of all persons, are increasingly at risk. We are in danger of losing our humanity without even realizing it.In response to such challenges in the past, Christian thinkers like Irenaeus, Luther, Bonhoeffer, Merton, and more rallied around the ideas of Christian humanism. But what is Christian humanism and why does it matter in this day and age? What Is Christian Humanism? is an inviting introduction to how humanistic values rooted in the incarnation of Jesus Christ can help us reclaim our humanity in all of life. Theologian Jens Zimmermann shows why "Christian" and "humanist" not only belong together, but argues that true humanism flows directly from the gospel and is impossible without Christianity.In What Is Christian Humanism? Zimmermann: defines Christian humanism as the greater Christian traditions interpretation of the gospel as Gods promise that we will achieve our full humanity in Christ; provides an inviting introduction to the ideas and history of the Christian humanist tradition and why it matters today; argues that the incarnation of Christ is central to understanding what it means to be human, offering an alternative to secular humanism; and demonstrates how Christian humanism can address the challenges in different areas of society, like art, technology, politics, and more. Perfect for those seeking a fresh way to engage the challenges of our day, this book demonstrates that our identity is found not in secular philosophies, but in Christs revolutionary act of the Incarnation. Christian humanism can help us recover the vision of what it means to be and become fully human in Christ, more important now than ever.

This book is a delight for anyone who has ever spent Christmas in the capital.

Museums are anything but wild. Historically, museums have functioned as key sites for the production of boundaries between nature and culture. Nature might be presented in form and image, but its processes must not be allowed to take hold within museum architecture. In a warming world, climate-controlled interiors are increasingly vulnerable to floods, fires, and power failures. In an effort to address environmental crises, artists chop through walls, fill them with dirt, and bring in insects, plants, and animals, while others leave the institution altogether to embrace the specificity of site. Audiences are drawn outside and off-screen, into zones that recalibrate norms of aesthetic attention. Rewilding the Museum explores a paradox that also lurks at the heart of restoration ecology: We cannot return to past fantasies of "nature." Rather, we must foster ecologies that support biodiversity and stable geophysical cycles. This book asks how artists and curators are working with and against exhibition infrastructures to elaborate contemporary ideas of nature.
