What’s new in non-fiction at the Lethbridge library?
One of the best parts of working at Lethbridge Public Library is getting to see and read about all the new and amazing titles being published. 2020 has been a difficult year for the publishing industry, with many titles being pushed back until 2021, or cancelled altogether. There have, however, been some new non-fiction titles that have been truly wonderful, and I think worth checking out! Here are some of the most recent titles to join Lethbridge Public Library’s collections. Get your holds in now!
“Adventures in Opting Out” — Cait Flanders. With personal insight, Flanders offers that we don’t always have to follow the paths that have been set out for us, rather find those difficult paths because those are the ones most worth exploring.
“Dancing With the Octopus” —
Debora Harding. If you were a fan of “Educated,” or “The Glass Castle,” you will love this compelling memoir. With her unique dark humour, Harding tells of her kidnapping when she was a teen, the PTSD she suffered, and ultimately how she was able to heal after meeting and confronting her kidnapper.
“Humankind” — Rutger Bregman. There is one concept that is thought to unite both the right and the left, and that is that people are bad and driven by their own self-interest.
However, Bregman believes that isn’t true, rather that if we look back 200,000 years, civilization was programmed for kindness, we just need to find our way back.
“Those Who Forget” — Géraldine Schwarz. Journalist Schwarz examines her own grandparents’ painful history as Nazi sympathizers during the Second World War, and how we can learn from our shared history to ensure that extremist thought never repeats in history again.
“The Less Waste No Fuss Kitchen” — Lindsay Miles. Now more than ever we are buying groceries and eating at home, but do we ever really stop to examine where our food comes from, and how it was packaged? Miles shows readers how to choose different products, avoid single-use plastics and cut down on food waste.
