Seven worlds one planet : natural wonders from every continent
Long ago, our planet had only one gigantic land mass. Then something monumental happened. That supercontinent ruptured and seven different worlds were born. Each of those worlds - or continents - evolved, and continues to evolve, its own way of life. From the jungle of the Congo or the majestic Himalayas to the densely populated wilds of Europe or the comparatively isolated Australasia, Seven Worlds, One Planet explores the natural wonders that give each of our continents its distinct character. Following the animals that have made these iconic environments their home, it discovers spectacular wildlife stories that reveal what makes each of these seven worlds unique. With a foreword by Sir David Attenborough and over 250 breathtaking images, including stills from the BBC Natural History Unit's spectacular footage, Seven Worlds, One Planet is a stunning exploration of the planet, and the worlds within it, that we call home.

Resistance in the Bluegrass
From the anti-segregation sit-ins of the 1960s to the 2020
protests in response to the killing of Breonna Taylor, the rest of
the nation-and often the world-has watched as Kentuckians boldly
fought against injustice. In Resistance in the Bluegrass ,
Farrah Alexander outlines how Kentucky's activists have opposed
racism, discrimination, economic inequality, and practices that
accelerate climate change; advocated for better education, more
humane immigration policies, and appropriate political
representation; and supported LGBTQ+ and women's rights, while also
celebrating decades of Kentucky contributions to social justice
movements and the people behind them.
Resistance in the Bluegrass gives engaged citizens-and
those who aim to become more engaged-inspiration and guidance for
how they too can make a difference across the commonwealth. With
interviews and issue-by-issue action items, Alexander reminds her
readers that everyday citizens who step up to make a difference are
at the heart of all social change. Optimistic and accessible,
Resistance in the Bluegrass is a people's history and
guide that calls Kentuckians of all backgrounds to action.
