Polar Bear


Book Description

What magnificent creatures polar bears are. Fascinating, too. Because they spend most of their life on the ice flows in the Arctic Ocean and depend on the ocean for both food and habitat, polar bears are the only bear species to be classified as marine mammals. The polar bear is a large animal with the male weighing in at close to half a ton (1000 lbs) at maturity. Its thick fur is translucent and looks white as it reflects visible light but the skin under the fur is jet black. The polar bear's body is well adapted for spending large amounts of time in the frigid waters of the Arctic Ocean and this bear can spend days at a time traveling from one ice flow to another. The polar bear's diet consists principally of seals with other marine life and occasionally vegetation. There are only about 26,000 polar bears remaining in the wild and their survival is becoming more and more precarious due to climate change and renewed gas and oil exploration in their native arctic range. This 8" x 10" planner is perfect bound with beautiful matte cover finish. It features a 1-page overview of the year, 2-page per month calendars, and 2-page per week spreads throughout.

Good Apple


Book Description

“For a woman who thinks of herself as a New Yorker at this point, I buy a lot of clothes from companies named things like Shrimp & Grits. Why? Because identity is complicated.” Elizabeth Passarella is content with being complicated. She grew up in Memphis in a conservative, Republican family with a Christian mom and a Jewish dad. Then she moved to New York, fell in love with the city—and, eventually, her husband—and changed. Sort of. While her politics have tilted to the left, she still puts her faith first—and argues that the two can go hand in hand, for what it’s worth. In this sharp and slyly profound memoir, Elizabeth shares stories about everything from conceiving a baby in an unair-conditioned garage in Florida to finding a rat in her bedroom. She upends stereotypes about Southerners, New Yorkers, and Christians, making a case that we are all flawed humans simply doing our best. Good Apple is a hilarious, welcome celebration of the absurdity, chaos, and strange sacredness of life that brings us all together, whether we have city lights or starry skies in our eyes. More importantly, it’s about the God who pursues each of us, no matter our own inconsistencies or failures, and shows us the way back home.




Talking to Strangers


Book Description

Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast Revisionist History and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Outliers, offers a powerful examination of our interactions with strangers and why they often go wrong—now with a new afterword by the author. A Best Book of the Year: The Financial Times, Bloomberg, Chicago Tribune, and Detroit Free Press How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to one another that isn’t true? Talking to Strangers is a classically Gladwellian intellectual adventure, a challenging and controversial excursion through history, psychology, and scandals taken straight from the news. He revisits the deceptions of Bernie Madoff, the trial of Amanda Knox, the suicide of Sylvia Plath, the Jerry Sandusky pedophilia scandal at Penn State University, and the death of Sandra Bland—throwing our understanding of these and other stories into doubt. Something is very wrong, Gladwell argues, with the tools and strategies we use to make sense of people we don’t know. And because we don’t know how to talk to strangers, we are inviting conflict and misunderstanding in ways that have a profound effect on our lives and our world. In his first book since his #1 bestseller David and Goliath, Malcolm Gladwell has written a gripping guidebook for troubled times.
