- Say it louder! : black voters, white narratives, and saving our democracy / by Cross, Tiffany D.,1977-author.; Dyson, Michael Eric,writer of foreword.;
Black voters were critical to the Democrats' 2018 blue wave. In fact, 90 percent of Black voters supported Democratic House candidates, compared to just 53 percent of all voters. Despite media narratives, this was not a fluke. Throughout U.S. history, Black people have played a crucial role in the shaping of the American experiment. Yet still, this powerful voting bloc is often dismissed as some "amorphous" deviation, argues Tiffany Cross. Say It Louder! is her explosive examination of how America's composition was designed to exclude Black voters, but paradoxically would likely cease to exist without them. With multiple tentacles stretching into the cable news echo chamber, campaign leadership, and Black voter data, Cross creates a wrinkle in time with a reflective look at the timeless efforts endlessly attempting to deny people of color the right to vote--a basic tenet of American democracy. And yet as the demographics of the country are changing, so too is the electoral power construct--by evolution and by force, Cross declares. Grounded in the most-up-to-date research, Say It Louder! is a vital tool for a wide swath of constituencies."--Amazon.Foreword: Bearing the cross / by Michael Eric Dyson -- Introduction -- How I got here.

- The last ranger [electronic resource] : A novel. by Heller, Peter.; Deakins, Mark.;
Narrator: Mark Deakins.Officer Ren Hopper is an enforcement ranger with the National Park Service, tasked with duties both mundane and thrilling: Breaking up fights at campgrounds, saving clueless tourists from moose attacks, and attempting to broker an uneasy peace between the wealthy vacationers who tromp through the park with cameras, and the residents of hardscrabble Cooke City who want to carve out a meaningful living. When Ren, hiking through the backcountry on his day off, encounters a tall man with a dog and a gun chasing a small black bear up a hill, his hackles are raised. But what begins as an investigation into the background of a local poacher soon opens into something far murkier: A shattered windshield, a series of red ribbons tied to traps, the discovery of a frightening conspiracy, and a story of heroism gone awry. Populated by a cast of extraordinary characters -- famous scientists, tattooed bartenders, wildlife guides in slick Airstreams -- and bursting with unexpected humor and grace, Peter Heller masterfully unveils a portrait of the American west where our very human impulses -- for greed, love, family, and community -- play out amidst the stunning beauty of the natural world.Requires the Libby app or a modern web browser.

- Wild : [electronic resource] : From lost to found on the Pacific Crest Trail. by Strayed, Cheryl.; Dunne, Bernadette.;
Narrator: Bernadette Dunne.At twenty-two, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mother's death, her family scattered and her own marriage was soon destroyed. Four years later, with nothing more to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life: to hike the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State--and to do it alone. She had no experience as a long-distance hiker, and the trail was little more than "an idea, vague and outlandish and full of promise." But it was a promise of piecing back together a life that had come undone. Strayed faces down rattlesnakes and black bears, intense heat and record snowfalls, and both the beauty and loneliness of the trail.Requires OverDrive Listen (file size: N/A KB) or OverDrive app (file size: 366891 KB).
