"He'd never once been tempted to break his oath . . . until he met her.
Michael Young has only ever cared about two things: being the best cardiothoracic surgeon and ascending into the House of Atlas on his thirty-third birthday. Joining Amanar General Hospital was only meant to be another stepping stone toward his ultimate success—until he meets his new coworker. She’s everything he never anticipated. Brilliant, fiercely dedicated, and an enticing challenge he can’t seem to shake. As their rivalry to become the new medical director heats up, Michael finds himself questioning everything he’s ever known. He’s never once been tempted to break his oath, but is the chance at something real with her worth losing?
Azara Ziani has only ever dreamed of one thing—being a surgeon. Her path to becoming the next medical director was on track until she was forced into competing against her new boss for the role. He’s everything she hates. Arrogant, smug, and a charmingly infuriating thorn in her side who revels in pushing her buttons. She’s never been tempted to shift her priorities, but her resolve starts wavering when she finds herself thrown into dangerously close proximity with the sexy new doctor. But when his hidden truth is unveiled, she’s faced with an impossible choice: follow her heart or walk away from him forever."

"From award-winners Supriya Kelkar and Jarrett Lerner comes a middle-grade story about a pair of unlikely friends determined to save the library that brought them together.
Roohi and Nate are not friends. Their paths have crossed a handful of times over the years—and the outcome has never been good. Nate thinks Roohi is a snobby know-it-all, and Roohi thinks Nate is nothing but a slacker.
But that begins to change when they both somewhat reluctantly join a reading club that meets during lunch at their school library. The Lunch Bunch allows Roohi to open up about feeling disconnected from her friends on the track team after a broken toe sidelined her for the season. Nate, who has always struggled in school, shares how tired he is of constantly being compared to his genius older brother. Despite their differences, and maybe because of them, Roohi and Nate form a friendship unlike any other they’ve ever had, with each other and with the other kids in the club.
As the Lunch Bunch gets stronger, though, things seem to be falling apart at the library. When the kids learn that their beloved librarian, Mrs. Sharp’s, job may be in danger due to budget cuts, they band together to find a solution . . . which proves to be easier said than done. Can Roohi and Nate’s new friendship survive outside of the Lunch Bunch in order to save the place that brought them together?"
"The electric story of two sisters and an unthinkable betrayal.
Mira Guhathakurta is a poetry editor at a distinguished literary magazine in New York, a dream job that has given her nearly everything she's always wanted.

They've woven their lives together so thoroughly; all that remains is for Jack to meet her family: her beloved father and dear sister Joy. But when Joy commits an unthinkable act of betrayal, the sisters are impossibly fractured and their father's heart is broken. As the sisters navigate their tumultuous relationship and Mira starts over, it turns out that Joy isn't the only one who has been-or continues to be-dishonest.
In a propulsive story of love and passion and the ultimate pull of family, Sisters of a Halved Heart examines the lengths we will go to in order to make our own narratives of love work out, the lies we tell ourselves, and the ways in which the truth, often right in front of you, can be impossible to see."

"Internationally bestselling author Kritika H. Rao weaves a stunning tale of love, seduction, and betrayal in this enchanting and romantic conclusion to the Divine Dancers duology that started with The Legend of Meneka
After completing her dangerous mission to seduce Sage Kaushika – and unexpectedly finding love in the process – Meneka enjoys a fragile freedom. She now lives in the mortal realm with Kaushika, both learning to trust each other. Yet deep differences linger between them, and conflicting loyalties may still tear them apart.
The illusion of peace shatters when Meneka is abruptly summoned back to the City of Immortals by Lord Indra, who demands her help in facing a threat from the demonic realm. Meneka wants nothing to do with Indra’s schemes, but she can’t return to Kaushika unless she complies. If she fails, her immortal home will fall, Kaushika will be lost to her, and her very identity as an apsara will become forfeit.
To save all she loves, Meneka must navigate the darkest corners of the Immortal Realm, pursued by monsters and demons. But the greatest danger lies in a truth she cannot outrun – one that could shatter her bond with Kaushika forever.
This sequel to The Legend of Meneka brings the celestial dancer’s saga to a thrilling conclusion, delving deeper into Hindu mythology as she faces an ancient threat – and confronts truths buried in her own heart."
"The growing concern about global environmental change and human impacts on the planet has led to the emergence of a broad field of study on the 'sustainability' of human societies. The term's common usage can be traced back to the advent of the Earth Summit in 1992 when 'sustainable development' was broadly embraced by the international community as an ostensibly win-win proposition for economic development, social inclusion, and ecological conservation. Yet both the natural science underpinnings and the social implications of a quest for sustainability have been diffuse. There is a need for a coherent synthesis which draws out key themes from both natural and social analysis of the concept.
This Very Short Introduction begins by introducing the concept of sustainability and how it has developed. The central chapters consider four key concepts crucial to sustainability: a) material and energy flows in consumption and production; b) technological interventions for a sustainable society; c) tipping points, and resilience in natural and social systems; and d) renewability and circularity in the economy. In the concluding chapter, Saleem H. Ali explores political means of managing anthropogenic change for a more sustainable society."
