New Reads at the JPWL!

We have lots of new books  – and plenty of oldies too! 

At the Rescue Cat Café by Anna Humphrey; illustrated by Kari Rust

A sweet book about purrsonalities and personalities and how they fit together when a human finds the right cat — or the right cat finds the right human. It is about how you can adopt a cat and get a latte and snack. It is about a little child who has a unique look on life and takes their time finding the critter for them (cannonballread.com).

Augustine the African by Catherine Conybeare

Augustine’s seminal books were written neither in Rome nor in Milan, but in Africa, his birthplace. Using extant letters and other shards of evidence, Conybeare retraces Augustine’s travels, revealing how his groundbreaking works emerge from an exile’s perspective within an African context. In its depiction of this Christian saint, Augustine the African upends conventional wisdom and traces core ideas of Christian thought to their origins on the African continent.

Here Comes the Sun: A Last Chance for the Climate and a Fresh Chance for Civilization by Bill McKibben

A call to harness the power of the sun and rewrite our scientific, economic, and political future. McKibbon shows how solar power is more than just a path out of the climate crisis: it is a chance to reorder the world on saner and more humane grounds. You can’t hoard solar energy or hold it in reserves―it’s available to all (billmckibbon.com).
