With suggestive humor and a bit of orneriness, Cooke clears up crazy misconceptions about some of the world’s more mysterious and underappreciated species. Throughout, she dissects these past theories for signs of human superiority, a binary physical understanding, and a little too much of the woodsy musk from a beaver's “gonads.” What’s left: Hyenas are avid feminists, Eels keep their coitus quiet, and Sloths are pretty much the ultimate survivalists. You can devour this all at once or savor each chapter as an individual essay, but you will be amazed by the truth (and bestiary sketches) either way.
Terraformers by Annalee Newitz is a visually stunning story laced with moral questions about labor, the environment, and corporate greed. In the distant future on the planet of Sask-E, the Environmental Rescue Team is faced with many challenges in protecting the formation of this nascent planet. Their hopes for a healthy planet built for everyone is undermined by the corporation of Verdance and the entitlement of the wealthy who wish to relive the glory days of a flourishing Earth from the Pleistocene era. This work is a magnificently imaginative piece which closely resembles the contemporary conversations we are having about the environment and corporate greed.
Sexy, charming, and full of rich representation, this is a story about an American born Latinx soap actor looking to expand her career and a famous Telenovela star hoping to break into Hollywood. Together, these two actors embark on a romance all while acting in a new tv series opposite each other. Bonus points for single parent rep and BFF cousins. The sequel to this book, A Lot Like Adiós, is also fantastic.
