      <image:caption>How to Speak Whale: A Voyage Into the Future of Animal Communication by Tom Mustill If you’re as unserious as I am, you see this title and immediately think of Dory from Finding Nemo trying to talk with a humpback whale. But jokes aside, Mustill is a serious biologist with a profound appreciation of animals and how they communicate. He takes readers on a scientific exploration of what Earth's largest animals are saying to each other and to us. How to Speak Whale intertwines history, biology, linguistics, and technology into a truly spellbinding experience. You may not walk away speaking whale but you’ll understand them, and the animal world, more deeply than ever.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Water Will Come: Rising Seas, Sinking Cities and the Remaking of the Civilized World by Jeff Goodell So the sea levels are rising a few inches each year. Who cares, right? It’s not like there’s water on your doorstep… yet. Goodell will tell you why everyone should care about the rising sea levels, why our situation is so unprecedented, and what it means for our maybe not-so-distant future. With expert insight into potential solutions that might work (and some that definitely don’t), The Water Will Come is a survivor's guide to combating a life where everyone’s house is lake-front property.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Life on the Rocks: Building a Future for Coral Reefs by Juli Berwald Did you know coral is alive? Like, a real living animal? Well, maybe it was just me who never knew that but that’s just the start of what you’ll learn about these miraculous creatures in Life on the Rocks. Juli Berwald is a marine biologist who takes readers through the life cycles of coral and how they create the technicolor, spellbinding reefs we see in all those pictures of everyone’s tropical vacations. She touches on everything from the biological complexities of reef systems to how scientists are working tirelessly around the globe to combat their destruction due to rising sea temperatures. I never thought I’d be so moved by something I had just learned wasn’t inanimate. But Berwald’s Life on the Rocks is nothing short of captivating and emotional.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Heat Will Kill You First: Life and Death on a Scorched Planet by Jeff Goodell Goodell really has a way with titles and this book is no different. The Heat Will Kill You First is yet another master class on how to understand the effects of climate change in the context of rising global temperatures. Goodell outlines how a warmer planet impacts our wallets, our homes, and our health from first-person accounts that are as ominous as they are heartbreaking.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Proof &amp; Prose - Reading Through the Headlines - Against the Loveless World by Susan Abulhawa</image:title>
      <image:caption>I think about this book every day and, despite its countless accolades, I still believe it’s underrated. Against the Loveless World introduces us to Nahr, a Palestinian woman who has spent a majority of her life as a refugee in Kuwait and Jordan trying to find a place she can feel at home. Told from her memories as she sits imprisoned in solitary confinement, Nahr shows us a life shattered by conflict but reclaimed by the love of her family, culture, and land. While Against the Loveless World is a fictional work of art, it is firmly rooted in historical events and the current realities for many Palestinians living both in their homeland or in refuge from it. This is a great read for anyone who wants to learn more about the Palestinian experience without jumping into nonfiction titles focused geopolitics and history.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Proof &amp; Prose - Reading Through the Headlines</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine by Rashid Khalidi Rashid Khalidi speaks from a wealth of knowledge and experience about the impact of Israeli occupation on the lives of the Palestinian people. As the great-great-nephew of Yusuf Diya al-Khalidi, who was once mayor of Jerusalem in the late 19th century, Khalidi presents a sweeping historical argument on colonialism, displacement, and resistance that have occurred on this land; from early settlements in Palestine to the 1917 Balfour Declaration to the Arab-Israeli War of 1948 and Israel's invasion of Lebanon in the 1980s. This book covers a comprehensive history in an intelligible and memorable way. The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine is an essential read for everyone who wants to understand the comprehensive geopolitical history of how this conflict came to be.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Proof &amp; Prose - Reading Through the Headlines</image:title>
      <image:caption>Kissinger’s Shadow by Greg Grandin You may be wondering what a biography about Henry Kissinger is doing on a list of books about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Well Greg Grandin makes the connection clear by taking readers through the life and career America’s most infamous diplomat and political advisor, in Kissinger’s Shadow. Grandin paints a picture of how Kissinger’s decisions had consequential impacts on a number of global affairs throughout history, including the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. From his involvement in the Camp David Accords to his relationship with the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) as Secretary of State, I learned that Kissinger’s actions ripple throughout this conflict today. And while the Israeli-Palestinian conflict occupies only a part of this book, I would recommend Kissinger’s Shadow to anyone who wants to learn more about American involvement in this conflict, and many others. Greg Grandin is a phenomenal writer who guides readers across the globe and through the decades, following the shadow of one of the deadliest men in American political history.</image:caption>
