This week's #NewBooks at the library: I bought second-hand copies of
- From Crust to Core: A Chronicle of Deep Carbon Science, published by Cambridge University Press;
- Confronting Consumption, published by @themitpress (this copy was in the holdings of the library of The American University of Paris);
- Cohabiting Earth: Seeking a Bright Future for All Life, published the State University of New York Press (I was really impressed by Eileen Crist's most recent book).

A photo of three books standing on a small, brown, wooden table. The out-of-focus background shows black shelves full of books, a red curtain covering the door, and part of the beech-coloured laminate floor.

On the left, standing up, From Crust to Core, showing a colour photo of a volcanic eruption of Etna at night. It is a long-exposure photo with numerous fiery streaks erupting from the crater.

In the middle, lying down, Confronting Consumption, showing a hardback without its dustjacket, bound in black cloth. The title and author names are printed on the spine in gold lettering, but the cover is plain black cloth.

On the right, standing up, Cohabiting Earth, showing a colour photo of a bird perched on top of a ceramic water fountain with a small column of water gently rising up out of the fountain. The background is out of focus. The bird is looking at the camera rather than drinking. I don't know what species it is, but it is predominantly an orangy-yellow with a black face and breast, and dark iridescent wing and tail feathers.
