New Liz Carlisle

Healing Grounds Climate, Justice, and the Deep Roots of Regenerative Farming Using rich storytelling, Healing Grounds showcases the BIPOC farmers who are leading the regenerative agriculture movement.

Today, a new generation of farmers are working to heal both the land and agriculture’s legacy of racism. In Healing Grounds, Liz Carlisle tells the stories of Indigenous, Black, Latinx, and Asian American farmers who are reviving their ancestors’ methods of growing food–techniques long suppressed by the industrial food system.

This, Carlisle shows, is the true regenerative agriculture: a holistic approach that values diversity in both plants and people. It has the power to combat climate change, but only if we reckon with agriculture’s history of oppression. Through rich storytelling, Carlisle lays bare that painful history, while lifting up the voices of farmers who are working to restore our soil, our climate, and our humanity.

Liz Carlisle is Assistant Professor in the Environmental Studies Program at UC Santa Barbara, where she teaches courses on food and farming. She is the author of Lentil Underground and co-author, with Bob Quinn, of Grain by Grain, and she has written both popular and academic articles about food and farm policy, incentivizing soil health practices, and supporting new entry farmers.

A Road Running Southward Following John Muir’s Journey through an Endangered Land Readers join the author on a journey through the natural wonders of the South, framed by John Muir’s writings on the region, to learn about the dangers posed to this uniquely biodiverse environment.

In 1867, John Muir set out on foot to explore the botanical wonders of the South, from Kentucky to Florida. One hundred and fifty years later, veteran Atlanta reporter Dan Chapman recreated Muir’s journey to see for himself how nature has fared since Muir’s time. He uses humor, keen observation, and a deep love of place to celebrate the South’s natural riches. But he laments the long-simmering struggles over misused resources and seeks to discover how Southerners might balance surging population growth with protecting the natural beauty Muir found so special.

A Road Running Southward is part travelogue, part environmental cri de coeur–a passionate appeal to save one of the loveliest and most biodiverse regions of the world by understanding what we have to lose if we do nothing.

The Blue Revolution Hunting, Harvesting, and Farming Seafood in the Information Age A good-news story about the ways that new technology and better policies are making fishing more sustainable.

For the world’s oceans, overfishing is a worrisome problem. Many global fish stocks are at a dangerous tipping point, some spiraling toward extinction. But there is a new way to think about fish, food, and oceans. The Blue Revolution tells the story of the recent transformation of commercial fishing, where entrepreneurs are applying newer, smarter technologies to modernize fisheries in unprecedented ways that relieve overstressed oceans.

Sullivan presents this new way of thinking by profiling the people and policies transforming an aging industry into one fueled by “sea-foodies” and locavores interested in sustainable, traceable, quality seafood.

New M. Nolan Gray

Arbitrary Lines How Zoning Broke the American City and How to Fix It An engaging and controversial argument against zoning laws, tapping into exciting changes happening in US cities.

It’s time for America to move beyond zoning, argues city planner M. Nolan Gray in Arbitrary Lines: How Zoning Broke the American City and How to Fix It. With lively explanations, Gray shows why zoning abolition is a necessary–if not sufficient–condition for building more affordable, vibrant, equitable, and sustainable cities.

Gray lays the groundwork for this ambitious cause by clearing up common misconceptions about how American cities regulate growth and examining four contemporary critiques of zoning (its role in increasing housing costs, restricting growth in our most productive cities, institutionalizing racial and economic segregation, and mandating sprawl). He sets out some of the efforts currently underway to reform zoning and charts how land-use regulation might work in the postzoning American city.

Arbitrary Lines is an invitation to rethink the rules that will continue to shape American life–where we may live or work, who we may encounter, how we may travel. If the task seems daunting, the good news is that we have nowhere to go but up.

Effective Conservation Parks, Rewilding, and Local Development An approach to a new type of conservation, “Full Nature,” that connects the well-being of the natural world with local communities.

“Full Nature” is a new approach to conservation that connects the wellbeing of the natural world with the human communities in their midst.

Pioneered by conservationist Ignacio Jiménez, it offers a pragmatic approach that puts the focus on working with people–neighbors, governments, politicians, businesses, media–to ensure communities have a stake in the long-term protection and restoration of their local parks and wildlife.

Effective Conservation is based on Jiménez’s experience managing conservation projects on three continents over thirty years. It guides readers through the practical considerations of designing, analyzing, and managing effective conservation programs. This highly readable manual provides a practical, time-proven formula for successful conservation.

Applied Panarchy Applications and Diffusion across Disciplines After almost two decades, the seminal text Panarchy gets a highly demanded follow up, bringing panarchy theory to a more practical and timely application.

Although humans desire stability in our lives to help us understand the world and survive, nothing in nature is permanently stable. How can society anticipate and adjust to the changes we see around us? Scientists use panarchy theory to understand how systems—whether forests, electrical grids, agriculture, coastal surges, public health, or human economies and governance—interact together in unpredictable ways.

Applied Panarchy, the much-anticipated successor to Lance Gunderson and C.S. Holling’s seminal 2002 volume Panarchy, documents the extraordinary advances in interdisciplinary panarchy scholarship and applications over the past two decades.

Intended as a text for graduate courses in environmental sciences and related fields, Applied Panarchy picks up where Panarchy left off, inspiring new generations of scholars, researchers, and professionals to put its ideas to work in practical ways.

In Build Beyond Zero, carbon pioneers Bruce King and Chris Magwood re-envision buildings as one of our most practical and affordable climate solutions instead of a leading driver of climate change. They make a case for a “carbon smart” built environment that absorbs more greenhouse gases than it emits. While the industry pursues net zero emissions focused on improving the energy efficiency of buildings, a carbon-smart approach also considers what we make all those buildings with, and the supply chains that deliver all those products and materials.

Rural Renaissance Revitalizing America’s Hometowns through Clean Power An inspiring guide to bringing clean power to rural communities today.

For decades, we’ve heard that local, renewable power is on the horizon, and that cheaper technologies will revolutionize our energy system.

Michelle Moore has spent her career proving that this opportunity is already here–and that any community, no matter how small, can build their own clean energy future. In Rural Renaissance, Moore describes five pathways to clean power in rural America and strategies for building it, including energy efficiency, renewable power, resilience (including microgrids and battery storage), the electrification of transportation, and finally, broadband internet. This accessible guide offers a vision of thriving rural communities where clean power is the spark that leads to greater investment, vitality, and equity.
