Big Lies: From Socrates to Social Media

Big Lies: From Socrates to Social Media

Mark Kurlansky
(Teen Nonfiction - 177.3 Kur)


Big lies are told by governments, politicians, and corporations to avoid responsibility, cast blame on the innocent, win elections, disguise intent, create chaos, and gain power and wealth. Big lies are as old as civilization; they corrupt public understanding and discourse, turn science upside down, and reinvent history. The future stewards of our world require a how-to manual for seeing through big lies and thinking critically, because big lies require believers, and democracy depends on independent thought.

Queer Ducks (and Other Animals): The Natural World of Animal Sexuality

Schrefer examines the diversity of sexual behavior in the animal world. He argues that the diversity of sexuality that links humans to the animal world can be a source of wonder and self-acceptance.

How to Be a (Young) Antiracist

How to Be a (Young) Antiracist

Ibram X. Kendi
(Teen Nonfiction - 305.8009 Ken)


We can let racism stand, or we can stand against it. Readers will follow a young Kendi as he learns (and unlearns) lessons that help shape his understanding racism. Kendi's concept of anti-racism re-energizes and reshapes the conversation about racial justice in America. Even more fundamentally, it points us toward liberating new ways of thinking about ourselves and each other. He asks us to think about what an anti-racist society might look like, and how we can play an active role in building it.
