Paperback. Condition: Good. Sunny and his kinfolk were content with their way of life. During the dry season, their clan lived alone. They hunted whenever they chose, gathered an array of plants, told stories, and took part in debates. In the rainy season, they united with the rest of their tribe. They formed a temporary city, feasted, held dances and played games.They could have lived like this forever. But a strange and foreign people had ideas of their own.Appearing out of nowhere, these aliens looked completely different. They smelled different. They even dressed differently. And they had the most peculiar set of habits.These people did not live>with the earth. They>exploited the earth; imposing monocultures and intensive farming. They were not content with their lot. They were possessed by an insatiable desire to consume. And they had no sense of freedom. They were beholden to a never-ending list of outlandish concepts; things such as Hierarchy, Patriarchy, Monarchy, Monogamy, God, Punishments, Ownership, Inequality, Money, Work and Tax.Sunny and his kinfolk faced the toughest decision in their history.They could wage war on these imposters. But their enemies were strong. They had already killed hundreds-of-thousands of indigenous people.They could flee. But these imperialists would surely follow. They would push them into the sea, the mountains or the desert.Their clan needed another solution. But what could it be? Could they negotiate with this violent foe? Could they form a pact? Could they create a kind of alliance?Sunny had no idea. But he was compelled by a duty to find out. This was his time. And he was willing to risk his life, to save the people he loved. …

Paperback. Condition: Good. Bruner sets forth nothing less than a new agenda for the study of the mind.

Hardback. Condition: Good. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY BUZZFEED Karen Lord's debut novel, the multiple-award-winning Redemption in Indigo, announced the appearance of a major new talent--a strong, brilliantly innovative voice fusing Caribbean storytelling traditions and speculative fiction with subversive wit and incisive intellect. Compared by critics to such heavyweights as Nalo Hopkinson, China Mi ville, and Ursula K. Le Guin, Lord does indeed belong in such select company--yet, like them, she boldly blazes her own trail. Now Lord returns with a second novel that exceeds the promise of her first. The Best of All Possible Worlds is a stunning science fiction epic that is also a beautifully wrought, deeply moving love story. A proud and reserved alien society finds its homeland destroyed in an unprovoked act of aggression, and the survivors have no choice but to reach out to the indigenous humanoids of their adopted world, to whom they are distantly related. They wish to preserve their cherished way of life but come to discover that in order to preserve their culture, they may have to change it forever. Now a man and a woman from these two clashing societies must work together to save this vanishing race--and end up uncovering ancient mysteries with far-reaching ramifications. As their mission hangs in the balance, this unlikely team--one cool and cerebral, the other fiery and impulsive--just may find in each other their own destinies . . . and a force that transcends all. Praise for The Best of All Possible Worlds An engrossing picaresque quest, a love story, and a moving character study . . . Karen] Lord is on a par with Ursula K.

I've not read anything quite like it, which makes it that rare beast: a true original.--Kate Elliott, author of the Crown of Stars series and The Spiritwalker Trilogy Reads like smooth jazz comfort food, deceptively familiar and easy going down, but subtly subversive . . . puts] me in mind of Junot D az's brilliant novel The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao.--Nalo Hopkinson, Los Angeles Review of Books If you want to see science fiction doing something new and fascinating . . . then you shouldn't sleep on The Best of All Possible Worlds.--io9 Rewarding science fiction for emotional grown-ups.--Mysterious Galaxy A] marvelously formed universe.--The A.V. Club A rewarding, touching and often funny exploration of the forms and functions of human culture.--SFX The Best of All Possible Worlds . . . poses an interesting question: What parts of you do you fight to preserve when everything you know suddenly changes?--Associated Press From the Hardcover edition.…
