The Great Remembering: Powerful Ancient Practices—and the New Science Bringing Them Back

Description: 
What if the most powerful solutions for the crises of modern life are actually found...in our past? 

We see it in headlines, in trendlines, in our own lives: We’ve never been more anxious, more divided, or more lost. 

The problem isn’t that we lack solutions. It’s that we abandoned the ones that actually worked. 

For thousands of years, across every culture on earth, humans built sophisticated “wisdom systems” to meet our deepest needs — rooted in physical challenge, sensory immersion, communal ritual, and belonging. But in our pursuit of progress, we dismantled them. 

In The Great Remembering, June Cohen — co-creator of TED Talks and Masters of Scale — time travels across cultures, continents, and centuries to investigate what we left behind: Wisdom systems for communal awe and communal grief. Practices like the sauna, the festival, the epic physical challenge. 

What cutting-edge neuroscience, cell biology, and psychology are now confirming is as surprising as it is obvious: These practices weren’t primitive. They were sophisticated solutions to the oldest human problems. And the science is finally proving why they worked.

Uprisings: Harlan Joseph, the Holy Week Riots, and the Search for Civic Peace

Description: 
In the volatile week following the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. in April 1968, protests erupted in cities across the United States. More than 40 people were killed by police in what was called the Holy Week uprisings, or the King riots. Police claimed that victims like Harlan “Bruce” Joseph, a nineteen-year-old Black college sophomore shot by a white policeman in Trenton, were looters, troublemakers, or arsonists. Uprisings uncovers a different story.

Symbiotic: How Viruses Make Us Human

Description: 
Our bodies are home to viral multitudes. Live viruses circulating in our blood help protect us from harmful bacteria. Bursts of viral particles are released in our brains every time we make a new memory. A dormant virus is activated in nerve cells when we become excited during learning. Following the traces of viruses from multispecies landscapes to high-tech labs around the world, Eben Kirksey describes the power of these invisible agents. They shape our minds, social relationships, financial markets, and ecological communities, and can even influence the planetary atmosphere.

He Feeds Dinosaurs

Description: 
He Feeds Dinosaurs is a love story from two parents to their child — a true story with the pull of a great novel. In alternating chapters, Daniel and Kristan Dow bring readers into the life of Elijah: beautiful inside and out, funny, affectionate and unforgettable. From a frightening NICU beginning to chalk maps across the neighborhood, his story unfolds through family upheaval, brotherhood and the search for understanding. Meet Isaiah, the little brother who calls Elijah his best friend, and the parents learning to see the child beyond the label. His father’s conclusion is stark: “autism” is as specific as “sick.” For readers of novels and memoirs alike, this engrossing family story offers characters to love — and reasons to keep turning pages.
