The Rise of Blue Anon: How the Democrats Became a Party of Conspiracy Theorists by David Harsanyi
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 3 mb
Overview: David Harsanyi delves into the mindset of people who think Republicans would usher in the Handmaid’s Tale and who compare Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally to a pro-Nazi rally held there eight decades earlier.

In The Rise of BlueAnon, David Harsanyi reveals how the left has been consumed by a uniquely dangerous and delusional brand of conspiracy theories. And unlike those on the right, the Left’s conspiracy theories are rarely kept in check by mainstream institutions.

How many Democrats are donning tinfoil hats? Way more than the media will admit:
• A recent poll found nearly twice as many Democrats as Republicans believed "the Holocaust is a myth."
• Historically, Democrats are more likely to be 9/11 "Truthers."
• Democrats have been accusing Republicans of stealing elections since Reagan defeated Carter.
• Despite their lawn signs declaring, "science is real," Democrats are twice as likely to believe in astrology as Republicans.
• Most of the Americans who believe that alien spacecraft are observing our planet right now are Democrats.
• Democrats have spread the most successful conspiracy theory in American history: The Trump-Russia collusion hoax.

From shrieks that we’re just one election away from living in The Handmaid’s Tale, to shrills that the world will end in 12 years from a corporation-caused climate catastrophe, Democrats have whipped themselves up with unfounded fears and falsehoods.

Virtually all mainstream media experts, pundits, and late-night talk-show hosts claim that conservatives are a bunch of unhinged conspiracy theorists. The Rise of BlueAnon is a fun, hard-hitting, and insightful refutation of this myth, and it shows why so many Democrat accusations are, in reality, projections.

Rendezvous With Oblivion: Reports from a Sinking Society by Thomas Frank
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1 mb
Overview: From the acclaimed author of Listen, Liberal and What’s the Matter with Kansas, a scathing collection of his incisive commentary on our cruel times—perfect for this political moment.

What does a middle-class democracy look like when it comes apart? When, after forty years of economic triumph, America’s winners persuade themselves that they owe nothing to the rest of the country?

With his sharp eye for detail, Thomas Frank takes us on a wide-ranging tour through present-day America, showing us a society in the late stages of disintegration and describing the worlds of both the winners and the losers—the sprawling mansion districts as well as the lives of fast-food workers.

Rendezvous with Oblivion is a collection of interlocking essays examining how inequality has manifested itself in our cities, in our jobs, in the way we travel—and of course in our politics, where in 2016, millions of anxious ordinary people rallied to the presidential campaign of a billionaire who meant them no good.

These accounts of folly and exploitation are here brought together in a single volume unified by Frank’s distinctive voice, sardonic wit, and anti-orthodox perspective. They capture a society where every status signifier is hollow, where the allure of mobility is just another con game, and where rebellion too often yields nothing.

For those who despair of the future of our country and of reason itself, Rendezvous with Oblivion is a booster shot of energy, reality, and moral outrage.

From the Ground Up: The Women Revolutionizing Regenerative Agriculture by Stephanie Anderson
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1 mb
Overview: An award-winning author’s powerful exploration of the remarkable women driving transformative change in America’s food system

It’s well known that our industrialized food system has abandoned priorities of nutrition and environmental stability in the pursuit of profit—a model designed to fail, especially as climate change escalates. Yet this groundbreaking book describes a glimmer of hope: a green wave of diverse female farmers, entrepreneurs, community organizers, scientists, and political leaders who operate with the shared goals of combatting climate change through regenerative agriculture, redesigning the food system, and producing healthy, socially responsible food.

From the Ground Up, by award-winning author Stephanie Anderson, offers a journey into the root causes of our unsustainable food chain, revealing its detrimental reliance on extractive agriculture, which depletes soil and water, produces nutritionally deficient food, and devastates communities and farmers. Anderson then delivers an uplifting, deeply reported narrative of women-led farms and ranches nationwide, supported by women-led investment firms, farmer training programs, restaurants, supply chain partners, and advocacy groups, all working together to create a more inclusive and sustainable world.

From the Ground Up sheds light on a set of inspiring journeys, with stories that will transform the way we think about the food chain—one that can weather the storms of climate change, conflicts, and global pandemics.

The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World by Robin Wall Kimmerer
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 8 mb
Overview: From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Braiding Sweetgrass, a bold and inspiring vision for how to orient our lives around gratitude, reciprocity, and community, based on the lessons of the natural world.

As Indigenous scientist and author of Braiding Sweetgrass Robin Wall Kimmerer harvests serviceberries alongside the birds, she considers the ethic of reciprocity that lies at the heart of the gift economy. How, she asks, can we learn from Indigenous wisdom and the plant world to reimagine what we value most? Our economy is rooted in scarcity, competition, and the hoarding of resources, and we have surrendered our values to a system that actively harms what we love. Meanwhile, the serviceberry’s relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity, interconnectedness, and gratitude. The tree distributes its wealth—its abundance of sweet, juicy berries—to meet the needs of its natural community. And this distribution insures its own survival. As Kimmerer explains, "Serviceberries show us another model, one based upon reciprocity, where wealth comes from the quality of your relationships, not from the illusion of self-sufficiency."

As Elizabeth Gilbert writes, Robin Wall Kimmerer is "a great teacher, and her words are a hymn of love to the world." The Serviceberry is an antidote to the broken relationships and misguided goals of our times, and a reminder that "hoarding won’t save us, all flourishing is mutual."

Robin Wall Kimmerer is donating her advance payments from this book as a reciprocal gift, back to the land, for land protection, restoration, and justice.

Power Metal: The Race for the Resources That Will Shape the Future by Vince Beiser
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1 mb
Overview: The powerful ways the metals we need to fuel technology and energy are spawning environmental havoc, political upheaval, and rising violence — and how we can do better.

An Australian millionaire’s plan to mine the ocean floor. Nigerian garbage pickers risking their lives to salvage e-waste. A Bill Gates-backed entrepreneur harnessing AI to find metals in the Arctic.

These people and millions more are part of the intensifying competition to find and extract the minerals essential for two crucial technologies: the internet and renewable energy. In Power Metal, Vince Beiser explores the Achilles’ heel of “green power” and digital technology – that manufacturing computers, cell phones, electric cars, and other technologies demand skyrocketing amounts of lithium, copper, cobalt, and other materials. Around the world, businesses and governments are scrambling for new places and new ways to get those metals, at enormous cost to people and the planet.

Beiser crisscrossed the world to talk to the people involved and report on the damage this race is inflicting, the ways it could get worse, and how we can minimize the damage. Power Metal is a compelling glimpse into this disturbing yet potentially promising new world.
