The Whispers of Rock<\/p>\n
Anjana Khatwa Bridge Street Press (2025)<\/p>\n
In 1902, on the Caribbean island of Saint Vincent, a group of women reported that water was boiling in the crater of the La Soufri\u00e8re volcano, accompanied by booming sounds and shaking, but they were ignored by the colonial authorities. The subsequent eruption killed 1,680 islanders. This is one of many global examples of the public\u2019s appreciation of nature in Earth scientist Anjana Khatwa\u2019s enticing book. \u201cAwakening yourself to the whispers of rock\u201d, she says, \u201ccan transform the way you connect with and understand the world\u201d.<\/p>\n
Lo\u2014TEK Water<\/p>\n
Julia Watson Taschen (2025)<\/p>\n
Water is \u201cnot a resource to be extracted or managed, but a living relative, a system of memory, intelligence, and reciprocity\u201d, says landscape designer Julia Watson. This view underlies the Lo\u2014TEK movement that she spearheads, which draws on Indigenous philosophy that water is a regenerative substance. Her pioneering, lavishly illustrated book contains contributions from many communities, from Bangladesh\u2019s floating farms to China\u2019s dike-pond systems and Micronesia\u2019s traps to catch fish using tide flows.<\/p>\n
Surviving the Twenty-First Century<\/p>\n
Noam Chomsky & Jos\u00e9 Mujica Verso (2025)<\/p>\n
In 2017 and 2022, filmmaker Sa\u00fal Alv\u00eddrez recorded conversations between linguist Noam Chomsky and political activist Jos\u00e9 Mujica, former president of Uruguay. Their discussions range from the risks of climate change to neo-fascism and the wisdom of nature, and make up this brief, thought-provoking book. Despite mutual admiration, the two do disagree at times. For example, Chomsky says that automation will \u201cfree people to undertake truly creative and satisfying work\u201d, but Mujica says that \u201crobots work only for their masters!\u201d<\/p>\n
