Saturday Storytime

What if dinosaurs could help us prepare for the future? In Surviving Climate and Chaos, paleontologist and science communicator Evan Jevnikar reveals how the prehistoric past holds critical lessons for understanding modern climate change, extinction, and survival. Dinosaurs weren’t just ancient curiosities—they were vital parts of ancient ecosystems whose rise and fall mirrors many of the patterns scientists see in today’s rapidly changing world. With a blend of cutting—edge science, fascinating fossil discoveries, and philosophical reflection, Jevnikar explores how the extinction of these giants can help us confront humanity’s future. From mass extinctions and ecosystem collapse to resilience and adaptation, this book makes the case that dinosaurs still have much to teach us. Whether you’re a lifelong dino fan, a science reader, or someone curious about how Earth’s past predicts its future, Surviving Climate and Chaos is an essential and captivating read. Inside, you’ll find: How ancient ecosystems reveal patterns in today’s climate change What dinosaur fossils teach us about survival and extinction How to apply lessons from prehistory to modern environmental challenges If you liked The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs, Locked in Time, or Weird Universe, you’ll love Surviving Climate and Chaos.

Sweet, loving Rachel Holohan was about to be engaged to the son of the local big shot. Instead, she’s dead in the river. In a close-knit small town, a death like this isn’t simple. It comes wrapped in generations-old grudges and power struggles, and it splits the townland in two. Retired Chicago detective Cal Hooper has friends here now, and he owes them loyalty, but his fiancée Lena wants nothing to do with Ardnakelty’s tangles. As the feud becomes more vicious, their settled peace starts to crack apart. And when they uncover a scheme that casts a new light on Rachel’s death and threatens the whole village, they find themselves in the firing line. “One of the greatest crime novelists writing today” (Vox) crafts a masterwork of atmospheric suspense that brings the story of one of her most beloved characters to a spellbinding conclusion.
