The second piece of good news: the truth is way more hopeful than you might think. We're at a critical moment for our planet, and getting the facts straight is step one. But even more crucial is feeling hopeful about what we can do next. The third piece of good news? We already have many of the solutions we need to create a more sustainable planet for future generations.

    • Everything Is Tuberculosis

      The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection

      John Green, the #1 bestselling author of The Anthropocene Reviewed and a passionate advocate for global healthcare reform, tells a deeply human story illuminating the fight against the world’s deadliest infectious disease. Tuberculosis has been entwined with hu­manity for millennia. Once romanticized as a malady of poets, today tuberculosis is seen as a disease of poverty that walks the trails of injustice and inequity we blazed for it. In 2019, author John Green met Henry Reider, a young tuberculosis patient at Lakka Government Hospital in Sierra Leone. John be­came fast friends with Henry, a boy with spindly legs and a big, goofy smile. In the years since that first visit to Lakka, Green has become a vocal advocate for increased access to treatment and wider awareness of the healthcare inequi­ties that allow this curable, preventable infec­tious disease to also be the deadliest, killing over a million people every year. In Everything Is Tuberculosis, John tells Henry’s story, woven through with the scientific and social histories of how tuberculosis has shaped our world—and how our choices will shape the future of tuberculosis.

All mismatched clothes, mad red hair and chaotic home life, she couldn't stick out more if she tried. Then she takes the seat on the bus next to Park. Quiet, careful and - in Eleanor's eyes - impossibly cool, Park's worked out that flying under the radar is the best way to get by. Slowly, steadily, through late-night conversations and an ever-growing stack of mix tapes, Eleanor and Park fall in love. They fall in love the way you do the first time, when you're 16, and you have nothing and everything to lose. Set over the course of one school year in 1986, Eleanor & Park is funny, sad, shocking and true - an exquisite nostalgia trip for anyone who has never forgotten their first love.

Joining this series is co-writer Chris Hastings and artist Pat Lewis, with John heavily involved in guiding the Agents along this standalone but complementary saga.

    • New York Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson crafts a captivating tale of murder and mystery in the first installment of a new series, appealing to fans of Agatha Christie and E. Lockhart. Ellingham Academy, a prestigious private school in Vermont, was founded by tycoon Albert Ellingham, who envisioned a place filled with riddles and gardens, where learning is a game. However, shortly after its opening, Ellingham's wife and daughter were kidnapped, leaving behind a chilling riddle signed by the enigmatic "Truly, Devious." This incident became one of America's great unsolved crimes. True-crime enthusiast Stevie Bell arrives at Ellingham Academy, determined to crack this cold case while navigating her new life and diverse housemates: an inventor, a novelist, an actor, an artist, and a jokester. As she settles in, the past resurfaces with the return of Truly Devious, and death strikes again at the academy. The intertwining mysteries of this first book in the Truly Devious series unfold brilliantly, setting the stage for Stevie's relentless pursuit of the truth in subsequent installments. This work has earned numerous accolades, including selections for Best Books of 2018 and nominations for prestigious awards, highlighting its impact and appeal.

      Bijna zes jaar na het overweldigende succes van 'Een weeffout in onze sterren' schrijft John Green met 'Schildpadden tot in het oneindige' opnieuw een briljante en onvergetelijke roman. Het begint allemaal met een nieuwsbericht over een voortvluchtige miljardair en het vooruitzicht van een grote beloning voor de gouden tip over zijn verblijfplaats. 'Schildpadden tot in het oneindige' gaat over vriendschap voor het leven, onverwachte ontmoetingen, Star Wars-fanfictie en een tuatara die op het punt staat een fortuin te erven. Maar bovenal gaat het over Aza Holmes, een meisje dat worstelt met een dwangstoornis en klem komt te zitten in de verstikkende spiraal van haar gedachten. In dit langverwachte nieuwe boek deelt John Green het verhaal van Aza met verpletterende directheid: 'Dit is mijn eerste poging om openlijk te schrijven over de stoornis waar ikzelf sinds mijn vroegste jeugd mee worstel. Het verhaal is verzonnen, maar gaat wel degelijk ook over mij persoonlijk.'

      "Much has been written about how awful the German Democratic Republic supposedly was: a people imprisoned by a wall and subjugated by an omnipresent Stasi security apparatus. Such descriptions are based largely on prejudice, ignorance and wilful animosity. This book is an attempt to provide a more balanced evaluation and to examine GDR-style socialism in terms of what we can learn from it. The authors, while not ignoring the real deficiencies of GDR society, emphasise the many aspects that were positive, and demonstrate that alternative ways of organising society are possible. This volume is an updated and much expanded edition of the authors' booklet first published in 2009. Thee have added more detail on how the GDR came into being as a separate state, about how society functioned and what values determined the every-day life of its citizens. There is also a whole new section on what happened in the aftermath of unification, particularly to the economy. While unification brought East Germans access to a more affluent society, freedom to travel throughout the world and the end to an over-centralised political system, it also brought with it unemployment, social breakdown and loss of hope, particularly in the once thriving rural areas." -- From back cover.

    • Vypravěč popisuje nezastavitelný útok invazních sil z Marsu, který vede k zdánlivě nevyhnutelnému pádu lidstva v tomto zásadním díle literární imaginace a zakládajícím románu žánru science fiction. Příběh, poprvé publikovaný v roce 1897, je vyprávěn jasným, téměř dokumentárním stylem. Realisticky vykreslené prostředí, s přesně popsanými městy a ulicemi, dává marťanskému útoku a následnému kolapsu pořádku ve viktoriánské Anglii nezapomenutelný dopad. Britská říše nasazuje své nejsilnější válečné stroje, avšak bez úspěchu, zatímco vypravěč, prchající před nehumánním nepřítelem, se skrývá v troskách civilizace. Hlavní koncept románu, kdy je lidstvo napadeno mimozemšťany, nepřestává rezonovat v populární kultuře a inspiroval více napodobenin než jakýkoli jiný motiv v žánru science fiction. Tento román H.G. Wellse si dodnes zachovává jak pocit nadpozemské úžasu, tak i hrůzostrašnou intenzitu.
