Book Description
In a world where dreaming has ceased to exist, dreams have become some of the most valuable commodities. They are rare, sought after, and they fetch a price higher than diamond or gold. Alec was born in the era of the pale generations, generations of individuals with white streaks on their skin, blank eyes staring off in the distance, and soul hollow from having lost the natural ability to dream. He was one of the rare individuals in this era who still retained the gift of dreaming, a gift he considered both a blessing and a curse. When he joined The League of the Dream Hunters, an elite organization formed to retrieve stolen dreams and return them to their owners, it was for only two reasons—to look for his missing brother and to find the dream that was stolen from their family so many years back, one that cost the life of both of his parents. In the league, he learned more about the pale generations and the Makus. He discovered that there was so much more to the gift that he had and so much more about the world he thought he knew. And as he grew nearer towards finding his brother and the lost dream, he had to face the guilt that had consumed him since his parents’ death, the immensity of the gift he had, and the responsibility that came with it.

Book Description
New York Times Bestseller and Notable Book of the Year A Kirkus Reviews Book of the Year (Nonfiction) Longlisted for the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence (Nonfiction) From the most celebrated heir to Darwin comes a groundbreaking book on evolution, the summa work of Edward O. Wilson's legendary career. Sparking vigorous debate in the sciences, The Social Conquest of Earth upends “the famous theory that evolution naturally encourages creatures to put family first” (Discover). Refashioning the story of human evolution, Wilson draws on his remarkable knowledge of biology and social behavior to demonstrate that group selection, not kin selection, is the premier driving force of human evolution. In a work that James D. Watson calls “a monumental exploration of the biological origins of the human condition,” Wilson explains how our innate drive to belong to a group is both a “great blessing and a terrible curse” (Smithsonian). Demonstrating that the sources of morality, religion, and the creative arts are fundamentally biological in nature, the renowned Harvard University biologist presents us with the clearest explanation ever produced as to the origin of the human condition and why it resulted in our domination of the Earth’s biosphere.
