Ripening
‘Fairy tales matter because at the heart of every one of them is transformation.’In a world in which all the old certainties seem to be crumbling, it's hard not to feel we have lost our way. In Ripening, Sharon Blackie insists that fairy tales are precisely the stories we need for such times. Long before they became bywords for people-pleasing princesses, these old stories – passed down to us through generations by our peasant ancestors – told us everything that women need to learn about the world. They might be set in difficult and dangerous times, but they require their heroines to face the unfaceable and dig deep for previously unimagined inner resources. They teach us to be savvy, inspire us to grow in confidence, show us how to be bold and claim the future we dream of. More than anything, fairy tales are soul-food. They show us how to take hold of our own personal narratives and transform them into stories that might begin with trauma, but end with empowerment. They offer us images of startling resonance and beauty, while showing us how to recognise and make use of the possibilities that rise to the surface when broken systems are cracked open.

Poverty Abolitionists
The United States and the world have made dramatic progress against poverty in recent decades, but the second Trump administration has thrown progress into reverse. David Beckmann calls us to push back against MAGA and restore progress against poverty. David is an economist, pastor, and activist. He was awarded the World Food Prize for leadership that led to substantial reductions in hunger. Drawing on stories from his own life and the struggles of poor communities around the world, Beckmann distills five essential insights and ten strategies to get progress against poverty going again. These include legislative advocacy, volunteering and financial contributions to election campaigns, action in defense of democracy, and needed reforms in American spirituality and religion. He invites people of faith, seekers, and skeptics alike to deepen their solidarity with those in need and with a threatened planet. He highlights data that prove poverty is solvable, confronts the problems that our country and the world now face, and calls for a new poverty abolition movement-similar in scale and determination to the movement that ended slavery. At the heart of this book is hope: hope grounded in evidence, history, and the countless efforts of communities and advocates who continue to push for justice. With a foreword by travel writer Rick Steves, Poverty Abolitionists offers both a practical roadmap and a stirring moral challenge. It is a clarion call to action for activists, policy makers, and ordinary citizens who care about the future of humanity and seek to build a fairer, freer, and more just world.

This Must Be the Place
In This Must Be the Place, interior designer Chloe Redmond Warner explains how to design a home with real personality, layered with color, pattern, and unexpected touches that feel unmistakably personal. Little Women on Acid . . . 1970s Sofia Coppola in Palm Beach . . . Stuart Little Goes Big . . . These are the fantasies designer Chloe Redmond Warner concocts for her clients. Now, in her debut book, Warner demonstrates how these beguilingly creative inspirations germinate into delightfully layered interiors. Though each of Warner’s interiors is aesthetically distinct from the next, the homes she features in This Must Be the Place all embrace ornament, tactile materiality, pattern play, sentimental totems, and exuberant color choices. Formally trained in architecture and known for infusing wit and charm into her designs, Warner has a singular perspective that marries strategic space planning with uniquely personal touches. The result is homes that each have their own defined feeling and serve as meaningful backdrops to all of life’s experiences—without taking themselves too seriously. With confidence and a sense of mischief, Warner infuses her interiors and this book with a poetic mash-up of effortless and refined, pretty and perfectly unexpected. In This Must Be the Place, Warner expands her design briefs, breaking down the elements—spread between art, architecture, and decoration—that, together, instill a carefully calibrated atmosphere. Each chapter opens with a “Style Guide” adapted from the mood boards she presents clients at the beginning of each project; what she calls a “sourdough starter” for the design. From there, she articulates how she coaxes her signature mix of color, pattern, materiality, ornament, light, totems, and artifacts. Warner believes that anyone can learn from her design approach and walks readers through her process step by step, while offering lots of insight and inspiration along the way. With playlists, pop-culture references, and stunning photography that perfectly showcases Warner’s personality and her aesthetic, this book is perfect for those looking to inject more creativity, fun, and color into their homes.

Stories of the Sun
For millennia we have looked to the sun to provide us with light, food and warmth. Yet, in our attempts to increase the productivity of each hour, we have skewed our days and stretched them through the use of candles, electricity and LED bulbs, our faces glowing in the unnatural light of screens and electronic devices. Within the pages of this book lies the chance to reconnect with our primal life force through folklore, exploration of ancient cultures, myths, legends and tales of our past. By understanding the power of our ancient star through the wisdom of those who walked this land before us, we can hope to unplug ourselves from the synthetic glow that surrounds our lives and reconnect with the Stories of the Sun.
