It epitomizes the ravages inherent in the global economy, and all in the name of ensuring that we keep buying more while thinking less about its real cost. We visit a Texas cotton farm figuring out how to thrive without relying on fertilizers that poison the earth.
Inside dyeing and weaving factories in China, where chemicals that are banned in the West slosh on factory floors and drain into waterways used to irrigate local family farms.
Sewing floors in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are crammed with women working for illegally low wages to produce garments as efficiently as machines. Back in America, our jeans get stowed, picked, and shipped out by Amazon warehouse workers pressed to be as quick as the robots primed to replace them. Finally, those jeans we had to have get sent to landfills--or, if they've been "donated," shipped back around the world to Africa, where they're sold for pennies in secondhand markets or buried and burned in mountains of garbage.
A sprawling, deeply researched, and provocative tour-de-force, Unraveled is not just the story of a pair of pants, but also the story of our global economy and our role in it. Told with piercing insight and unprecedented reporting, Unraveled challenges us to use our relationship with our jeans--and all that we wear--to reclaim our central role as citizens to refashion a society in which all people can thrive and preserve the planet for generations to come.
A baby blanket is a very special gift, but what happens when you grow up and it comes undone? Is it time to let go, or to make something new? While Cole's mama waits for his arrival, she knits him a baby blanket. After he is born, the bond between baby and blanket is instant.
So much so that as Cole grows older, the two are inseparable, until the day he notices the blanket is slowly coming unraveled.
Cole tries playing with it the way he always had but it doesn't work and he decides to let go of what is now a bundle of yarn. But Mama isn't quite ready to let go and knits the yarn into something new--a sweater--delighting Cole. The bond is once again instant. Leanne Hatch brings this story of growing up and taking things with us in new ways to life with her warm text and richly textured art. The book also charts Laura, who has a backstory.
She is more than a mother standing by watching the life of her promising young son come undone. She has struggled with alcohol addiction firsthand but remains emotionally and physically sober and present for her son during his collision course with disaster.
Many readers will undoubtedly see themselves in these stories and will come away with an abiding sense of hope—not just for Tommy and Laura, but for themselves, too. The writing in Unraveled is brilliant and fresh, and the two voices working together and against each other makes Unraveled even more memorable. Tommy's gift for zingy one-liners energizes the story and contrasts cleverly with Laura's witty yet measured and concerned maternal tone.
Unraveled is a tale of chaos and near-death experiences that shares personal and private moments and the intense challenges and grueling work it takes to get sober and remain sober. Unraveled: To become undone. To take apart. To destroy. I thought I had it all with my well-respected job, Hollywood boyfriend, and glamorous lifestyle. Until the truth revealed a different story. In one day, after a single word, my carefully constructed life was obliterated. But it's only the beginning of my spiral.
There's much further to fall. Then I meet him. He's the perfect man at the most imperfect time. It's only meant to be a one night stand. A last fling before my new reality sets in. But he has different ideas. Because he doesn't know the truth. Once he finds out, I'm convinced he'll realize this is too much for a new relationship.
He's sure to cut and run. It's for the best really. After all, how can I possibly fall in love when I'm falling apart? Smite Turner is renowned for his single-minded devotion to his duty as a magistrate. But behind his relentless focus lies not only a determination to do what is right, but the haunting secrets of his past--secrets that he is determined to hide, even if it means keeping everyone else at arm's length.
Until the day an irresistible woman shows up as a witness in his courtroom Miranda Darling isn't in trouble But she's close enough that when Turner threatens her with imprisonment if she puts one foot wrong, she knows she should run in the other direction.

In the first of a two-part study on the Book of Genesis, authors Matt Carter and Halim Suh examine Genesis 1—11 and what it reveals about God's creation of a good world, the corruption of that world and our separation from God due to sin, and God's initial steps to reunite us with Him.
Many of us have never sought to dig deeply into the accounts of Genesis — such stories as creation, the fall, and the flood — because we have heard them preached over and over and feel like we know them inside and out.
