The Home That Love Built - Jessica Meserve

This is the wind that whipped and whirled. This is the lightning that zipped and zapped. This is the thunder that bombarded and blasted. And these are the animals... all soggy and sad. When a terrible storm tears through the forest, everything seems lost. Trees are toppled. Nests, nooks and burrows are destroyed. The animals are left with nothing but ruins. But then, a new home begins to grow - not an ordinary home, but one built from the efforts of every single animal in the forest. A home made not just of twigs and leaves, but of kindness, courage, and love. Told in a rhythmic, cumulative style and paired with breathtaking illustrations, The Home That Love Built is a powerful celebration of friendship, teamwork and rebuilding after loss. Children and adults alike will be drawn to its rich, poetic language and its empowering message of resilience. Perfect for fans of Our Tree, also by Jessica Meserve, Our Tower by Joseph Coelho, and The Invisible String by Patrice Karst, this touching tale is ideal for classrooms exploring big emotions like fear of change, sadness and grief. It's also a gentle, comforting story for bedtime snuggles - reminding children that even ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Love in Exile - Shon Faye

The acclaimed Top 10 Sunday Times best-seller on our search for love'Uncommonly wise and honest. Love in Exile flooded me with a sense of continuity and hope. A masterpiece, from start to finish' - Maggie NelsonShon Faye grew up quietly obsessed with the feeling that love was not for her. Not just romantic love: the secret fear of her own unworthiness penetrated every aspect and corner of her life. It was a fear that would erupt in destructive, counterfeit versions of the real love she craved: addictions and short-lived romances that were either euphoric and fantastical, or excruciatingly painful and unhinged, often both. Faye’s experience of the world as a trans woman, who grew up visibly queer, exacerbated her fears. But, as she confronted her damaging ideas about love and lovelessness, she came to realize that this sense of exclusion is symptomatic of a much larger problem in our culture. Love, she argues, is as much a collective question as a personal one. Yet our collective ideals of love have developed in a society which is itself profoundly sick and loveless; in which consumer capitalism sells us ever new, engrossing fantasies of becoming more loved or lovable.

The House that Fox News Built? - Martin Johnson, Johanna Dunaway, Ryan J. Vander Wielen, Kevin Arceneaux

The influence of partisan news is presumed to be powerful, but evidence for its effects on political elites is limited, often based more on anecdotes than science. Using a rigorous quasi-experimental research design, observational data, and open science practices, this book carefully demonstrates how the re-emergence and rise of partisan cable news in the US affected the behavior of political elites during the rise and proliferation of Fox News across media markets between 1996 and 2010. Despite widespread concerns over the ills of partisan news, evidence provides a nuanced, albeit cautionary tale. On one hand, findings suggest that the rise of Fox indeed changed elite political behavior in recent decades. At the same time, the limited conditions under which Fox News'' influence occurred suggests that concerns about the network''s power may be overstated.

Rachel Miller is a lawyer and mother of two who’s just as comfortable in a courtroom as she is on the sidelines of a soccer field. Sure, her marriage is on autopilot, her parents are overly involved, and the other suburban moms are just a little bit catty. But if you ask Rachel, life is good. That is until her world is upended when racy photos of her and her high school boyfriend, the famous actor Jack Bellow—along with his love letters to her—are published in a tabloid, unexpectedly thrusting Rachel into the spotlight. This newfound attention calls into question her marriage, her career, and her superstar ex. Betrayed by someone she trusted and reunited with the man she tried so hard to forget, Rachel must ask herself, “How did I get here? And what do I really want?”
