This vertical world houses centuries of ecological impact and supports countless species — including acclaimed nature writer Marina Richie.

The birds that inhabit this unique l andscape act as guides to understanding the intricacies of the forest\, an d how we can learn to be better stewards for our threatened lands. Blendin g her lifelong love and study of trees and wildlife with reflections on he r own personal growth journey\, Richie takes readers under her wing as she seeks appreciation and preservation of these ecosystems.

Ari Waker and her roommate pass the gauntlet of bomb-sn iffing dogs\, the shanty towns\, and the Red Cross tents as they walk acro ss Silverlake to a party. The mood is ecstatic inside the apartment\, peop le drink and dance\, a woman wears a silver dress\, pleated like tinfoil. And then: A shift. A bewildered twin\, an uncanny doppleganger stumbles th rough the crowd and out into the night\, and Kareem\, the party’s host\, vanishes into thin air. \nAs Ari Waker unravels the mystery of this inexp licable night\, Emily St. John Mandel unfurls a story that takes us from a future America splintered by civil war to the seaside cliffs of Greece wh ere weapons dealers hide in an elegant resort\, and from the domed city of Paris to a colony on the moon. An unforgettable literary feat\, Exit Par ty is a novel about the price of safety\, the perils of the surveillance state\, a requiem for a world not unlike our own\, and a breathtaking stor y of resilience in the face of cataclysmic change.
