The World Beneath Our Feet: The Hidden Life of Soil and Why It Matters to Us All by Frank Ashwood

A vivid tour into the subterranean that encourages us to look downwards, revealing how the earth's most biodiverse frontier sustains all life above the soil surface.

The ground beneath us hums with a staggering abundance of winding roots, interconnecting fungal networks, wriggling creatures, and mind-blowing microbial life. This hidden ecosystem is the single most biodiverse habitat on the planet. Over half of all the Earth's species exist underfoot, where decaying matter is transformed into new life; just a handful of soil can contain an entire world. Without soil, there would be no life as we know it—and yet we rarely take the time to know the countless lives happening below.

In The World Beneath Our Feet, soil ecologist Frank Ashwood dives deep into this precious ecosystem, spanning the globe from the frozen landscape of Greenland to the black soil deposits of the Amazon and the Eurasian Steppe, while also examining the jaw-dropping evolutionary adaptations that make lives very alien from our own possible. Unearthing soil layers one at a time, Ashwood reveals every sublayer to be a distinct macrocosm, teeming with organisms essential to our planet's wellbeing. Supported by interviews with global soil biologists, as well as his own expert research, Ashwood shows us how life at a microscopic scale impacts us all.

Powerfully illuminating the dark depths of the earth, and accompanied by the author's own up-close photography, which magnifies and reveals creatures only millimeters long, The World Beneath Our Feet opens our eyes to the hidden and wondrous world of soil—perhaps the greatest unexplored frontier on our planet. ~ Bookshop

Medea Sang Me a Corrido by Dahlia de la Cerda
Trasnslated by Heather Cleary & Julia Sanches

A punk revival of Medea as a meddling anti-angel of birth and death, from the International Booker Prize–nominated author of Reservoir Bi***es.

In the mythic but all-too-familiar country of Aztlán, the violence of the cartel and the military are ever-present and indistinguishable, and everyday people strive to survive in the cross fire. Enter Medea: a deity with punk-rock flair, equal parts midwife and gravedigger, ancient but never too old to be petty.

In this novel in stories from the author of the International Booker Prize–nominated Reservoir Bi***es, a reimagined Medea helps a trophy girlfriend with her abortion, accompanies a mother in search of her lost son in the desert, and embraces tragic victims of the state and its proxy wars. Dahlia de la Cerda’s prose pierces the heart and introduces readers to a magnetic new version of a mythological icon—a femme fatale legend in a fatalistic world.

When Women Ruled the World: Six Queens of Egypt by Kara Cooney

This riveting book explores the lives of six remarkable female pharaohs, from Hatshepsut to Cleopatra, and shines a piercing light on perceptions of powerful women today.

Female rulers are a rare phenomenon--but thousands of years ago in ancient Egypt, women reigned supreme. Regularly, repeatedly, and with impunity, queens like Hatshepsut, Nefertiti, and Cleopatra controlled the totalitarian state as power-brokers and rulers. But throughout human history, women in positions of power were more often used as political pawns in male-dominated societies. Why did ancient Egypt provide women this kind of access to the highest political office? What was it about these women that allowed them to transcend patriarchal obstacles? What did Egypt gain from its liberal reliance on female leadership, and could today's world learn from its example?

In this captivating narrative, celebrated Egyptologist Kara Cooney delivers a fascinating tale of female power, exploring the reasons why it has seldom been allowed through the ages--and why we should care. ~ Bookshop

"As Cleopatra lay in state,
Faithful Bast at her side did wait,
Purring welcomes of soft applause,
Ever guarding with sharpened claws."
