While discussing the experiences that shaped her discoveries and beliefs, Jane tells the story of how she became a messenger of hope, from living through World War II to her years in Gombe to realizing she had to leave the forest to travel the world in her role as an advocate for environmental justice. And for the first time, she shares her profound revelations about her next, and perhaps final, adventure.

There is still hope, and this book will help guide us to it.

From the author of the internatoinal bestseller Before the Coffee Gets Cold, this book follows four new customers who hope to travel back in time in a little Japanese cafe.

In a back alley in Tokyo, there is a cafe that has been serving carefully brewed coffee for more than one hundred years. Local legend says that this shop offers something else besides coffee--the chance to travel back in time. With faces both familiar and new, Tales from the Cafe follows the story of four patrons who visit to take advantage of cafe Funiculi Funicula's time-traveling offer and revisit moments with family, friends and lovers. Each one must face up to the past to move on with their lives.

Pulitzer Prize winner Elizabeth Strout explores the mysteries of marriage and the secrets we keep, as a former couple reckons with where they've come from--and what they've left behind.

Starting January 2022, we are going to be starting up a book club led by Vicki Lorini, who was formerly in charge of the CapCity Radio events in Sacramento. These will be in person events held in the Kids' Dept downstairs and they will have a capacity limit that has yet to be decided. If we have enough people who want to participate, we will try and have a zoom feature.

We would love for as many people as possible to be able to participate if they so wish, so please fill out this quick survey to see what day and time would work best for you for the events to take place!

A Quick PSA On Holiday Shopping!

We want to thank all of you for your continued support through this difficult and unpredictable time. You kept this local bookstore alive and we are very grateful. However, Covid-19 has impacted supply chains across the world and books are no exception. While we have no desire to steal the spotlight from Halloween and Thanksgiving (two excellent and admirable holidays that we greatly enjoy), this year's holiday shopping would best be done sooner rather than later. We will always do our best to get you your books as soon as possible but unfortunately, when it comes to the printing and shipping speeds, we can only do so much. We have begun stocking our annual holiday section and feel free to ask an employee for help with ordering or any gift recommendations.

Thank you again for your patience and

understanding and we hope to see you all soon!

Ana Dakkar is a freshman at Harding-Pencroft Academy, a five-year high school that graduates the best marine scientists, naval warriors, navigators, and underwater explorers in the world. Ana's freshman year culminates with the class's weekend trial at sea, the details of which have been kept secret. She only hopes she has what it'll take to succeed. All her worries are blown out of the water when, on the bus ride to the ship, Ana and her schoolmates witness a terrible tragedy that will change the trajectory of their lives.

But wait, there's more. The professor accompanying them informs Ana that their rival school, Land Institute, and Harding-Pencroft have been fighting a cold war for a hundred and fifty years. Now that cold war has been turned up to a full broil, and the freshman are in danger of becoming fish food. In a race against deadly enemies, Ana will make amazing friends and astounding discoveries about her heritage as she puts her leadership skills to the test for the first time.
