In and through his experience of nature, Henry David Thoreau imagined and developed a distinctly American theology of the wild.

In Wildness: Henry David Thoreau and the Making of an American Theology, Lydia Willsky-Ciollo articulates how Thoreau was enmeshed in a decades-spanning project of crafting a theology of wildness. During Thoreau's post-college years and his time at Walden Pond, he evolved from hopeful writer to observant theologian, whose primary work as a surveyor enabled his theological vocation.

Willsky-Ciollo skillfully guides readers through Thoreau's writings and life as his theology emerges and evolves. The focus of Thoreau's theology--wildness itself--centers on the divinity extant in every person and in every molecule of creation. Definitively American in its ethos, Thoreau's theology reflects a distinctly American set of tensions: progress and tradition, wilderness and civilization, the destructive and the generative nature of work, the individual and the society, the local and the universal, and the Christian and the pluralist. While remaining critical of dogmatism and institutional rigidity, he formed his theological vision in conversation with the Christianity of his own time and place.

Ultimately, theology is an active process, and interpreting the wild experience of divine revelation is the purview of all. Thoreau left the door open to his readers, who he hoped would pick up the pen where he left off and write their own theologies of wildness.

A magnificent collection of photos representing fifty years of De Roy's best work in the islands she calls home

Tui De Roy was a year old in 1955 when her family left Europe, boarding a banana boat bound for the Pacific to lead a different sort of life in Galápagos, one of self-sufficiency and living close to nature. She grew up on the islands and returned to them often over the next five decades. Discovering photography at a young age, she has dedicated her life to recording the islands' natural history in infinite detail. A Lifetime in Galápagos is De Roy's intimate portrait of one of the most spectacular places on Earth, presenting the wildlife and natural wonders of Galápagos as you have never seen them before.

Featuring hundreds of breathtaking color photos, this stunning book guides you into labyrinthine mangroves to observe nesting herons, to misty cloud forests to glimpse flycatchers and orchids, high onto erupting volcanoes, and into the ocean to swim with hammerhead sharks. De Roy's lens provides up-close encounters with orca and sperm whales, colonies of iguanas, and the giant tortoises of Alcedo Volcano. She paints unforgettable portraits of her childhood in Galápagos--the islands at night under the stars of the Milky Way, sea lions at play and on the hunt, the diverse birdlife of Galápagos, and much more.

Blending striking images with vivid prose, A Lifetime in Galápagos also discusses the threats that global warming and other environmental challenges pose to the archipelago's unique wildlife and fragile habitats.

Witty, wise, and wonderfully real--a love story that challenges expectations and celebrates possibility.

Tess wasn't searching for love--and she definitely wasn't looking for a man with a power chair and a penchant for dad jokes. But when Corby's clever and correctly punctuated dating profile caught her attention, one message turned into two, then twenty, and suddenly, her carefully predictable world was tilted on its axis.

This story is more than a tale of love. It's a wildly witty, refreshingly honest look at what happens when an intensely logical woman and a quadriplegic man collide online and discover something neither of them expected: a perfect match. It's a candid, unfiltered glimpse into the beautiful mess of relationships--where doubts meet hope, where disabilities meet abilities, and where humor, patience, and persistence turn awkward encounters into extraordinary memories.

Tess's sharp sense of humor and unflinching honesty paired with Corby's trademark "wheelnote" footnotes make for a story as endearing as it is unpredictable. From evening wheelchair rides to scarf knitting galore, Tess and Corby's story redefines what it means to find "the one" and reminds us all that love isn't about perfection--it's about showing up, being seen, and rolling with whatever comes next.

Named a "Most-Anticipated Book" by The New York Times and Lit Hub

Award-winning author Teddy Wayne follows his breakout sensation The Winner--a New York Times Top Ten Thriller of the Year--with another seductively twisty page-turner about the explosive impact of a beautiful Norwegian au pair on a celebrated novelist and his wife.

Steven Hammer was once a literary star. Now, his career is floundering, his marriage to a high-powered woman is crumbling, and the only bright spot in his life is Astrid, the Norwegian au pair who cares for their children--and reveres his neglected novels. But what begins as a secret infatuation soon spirals into a scandal that makes them both infamous.

As a headline-grabbing trial captivates the world with a salacious story of sex, power, and betrayal, Steven must confront the wreckage he's created--and the deeper insecurities that fueled it. Is Astrid an innocent young woman caught up in a case beyond her control, or a calculating femme fatale? And how far will he go, driven by desperation and obsession, for her professed love?

With inexorable momentum and sly, lucid prose, Teddy Wayne's The Au Pair is a sleek literary thriller about desire, deception, and the unraveling of a man as he grapples with his fading relevance--when the lies others spin pale beside the fictions we tell ourselves.

Align your finances with purpose, impact, and personal fulfillment.

Traditional personal finance books generally promote the same goals for everyone: make as much money as possible, fund your kids' college educations, and save for retirement. These books mechanistically advise us to budget, take out a mortgage, open savings accounts, and so on--without much thought as to who we are as individuals.

But is that all? Will that formula make you happy?

Good Money is about building a meaningful life, not just a bigger bank account. In this book, investor and author John Coleman offers a new mindset around personal finance, one that puts purpose at its core. He provides a six-part framework for building a relationship with money that leads to human flourishing:

• Change the way you think about money
• Prioritize purpose in your work and career
• Spend and consume wisely
• Use your means to help others
• Invest for maximum impact
• Save for freedom, not retirement

Filled with detailed examples and firsthand interviews as well as guidance on applying these principles to the well-being of your children and family, Good Money walks you through each of these steps, providing helpful--and sometimes counterintuitive--advice on how to use your wealth to flourish, find greater significance, and ensure your actions have the impact you want, now and long into the future.
