In an age of ecological emergency and social breakdown, how do we find the hope and determination to live on this planet as if we were staying?

Inspired by the solarpunk movement’s insistence that our vision of the future must be galvanizing, biologist and environmentalist Spencer R. Scott chronicles his journey from biotech research to the co-founding of the queer regenerative community and education hub, Solar Punk Farms. Weaving memoir and scientific inquiry, Scott reframes capitalism as an environment we’ve unconsciously adapted to in order to survive and documents the internal and external process of re-adapting to the realities of our ecological world. Only through community and collective action, he finds, can we make survival—and joy—beyond capitalism possible.

Bridging science and personal experience with optimism and lyricism, As If We Were Staying is an invitation to meet our precarious reality together and begin building a future worth inhabiting

Inheritance of Memory brings together the voices of Holocaust survivors and their children in a deeply moving anthology of memoir and testimony.

This kaleidoscope of family stories conveys what reading one story cannot: that the Holocaust nightmare unfolded in vastly different ways and at different times depending on where you lived in Europe; that Jews fiercely resisted Nazi persecution and eluded capture in countless ways, legally and illegally; and that they journeyed all over the world seeking safe haven.

The survivors speak of loss, endurance, courage, and hope. Their children share how they came to understand their parents’ experiences—and why telling these stories matters.

As the generation of survivors grows smaller, remembrance becomes an urgent responsibility for us all. This collection stands as an act of witness and preservation, ensuring that these personal histories remain part of our collective memory.
