Nicholas Kristof of The New York Times called him “one of the unsung heroes of modern times.” Fazle Hasan Abed was a mild-mannered accountant who may be the most influential man most people have never even heard of. As the founder of BRAC, his work had a profound impact on the lives of millions. A former finance executive with almost no experience in relief aid, he founded BRAC, originally the Bangladesh Rehabilitation Assistance Committee, in 1972, aiming to help a few thousand war refugees. A half century later, BRAC is by many measures the largest nongovernmental organization in the world—and by many accounts, the most effective anti-poverty program ever. BRAC seems to stand apart from countless failed development ventures. Its scale is massive, with 100,000 employees reaching more than 100 million people in Asia and Africa. In Bangladesh, where it began, Abed’s work gave rise to “some of the biggest gains in the basic condition of people’s lives ever seen anywhere,” according to The Economist. His methods changed the way global policymakers think about poverty. By the time of his death at eighty-three in December 2019, he was revered in international development circles. Yet among the wider public he remained largely unknown. His story has never been told—until now. Abed avoided the limelight. He thought his own story was of little consequence compared to the millions of women who rose from poverty with BRAC’s help, bending the arc of history through their own tenacity and grit. The challenges he faced often seemed insurmountable. Abed’s personal life was a tapestry of love and grief—a lover’s suicide, a wife who died in his arms. He was a taciturn man with a short temper that erupted on rare occasions. Many of his ventures failed, but Abed persevered. This book is also the biography of an idea—the idea that hope itself has the power to overcome poverty. “For too long, people thought poverty was something ordained by a higher power, as immutable as the sun and the moon,” Abed wrote in 2018. His life’s mission was to put that myth to rest. This is the story of a man who lived a life of complexity, blemishes and all, driven by the conviction that in the dominion of human lives, hope will ultimately triumph over fate.

As seventy-eight-year-old Penelope Daos watches the waves crash along the beach beside her Long Island home, she reminisces about her past. Her mind is full of secrets she kept from everyone, including her late husband and her family. These secrets have haunted her for the past fifty-eight years. She wonders if her children and grandchildren will believe her story. Is it possible to accept that pirates and treasure exist outside of fairytales? Could a summer love be so strong it would save Stavro and Penelope? Or will they be destined to perish at the hands of the thieves of Chios? This novel for teens follows Penelope through her journal filled with detailed memories of the adventures, love, demise, and heartbreak she experienced at the age of twenty in 1957 on a little island in Greece called Chios. It was the most beautiful view I had ever seen. The neighboring mountains stood tall and strong across from the one we were on. In the distance, right where one mountains edge met another’s, I could see the ocean; a deep blue Aegean dotted with white specks here and there from the menacing white caps. The mountains were layered with rows of mastic and olive trees. Grays and browns colored the petrified mountainous terrain. The breeze seemed to whistle through the space between them ... I turned to look at Stavro; his eyes set on the view ahead. He seemed to be at peace again.

Is the future of food looking bleak – or better than ever? At a time when every day brings news of drought and famine, Amanda Little investigates what it will take to feed a hotter, hungrier, more crowded world. She explores the past along with the present and discovers startling innovations: remote-control crops, vertical farms, robot weedkillers, lab-grown meat, 3D-printed meals, water networks run by supercomputers, cloud seeding and sensors that monitor the microclimate of individual plants. She meets the creative and controversial minds changing the face of modern food production, and tackles fears over genetic modification with hard facts. The Fate of Food is a fascinating look at the threats and opportunities that lie ahead as we struggle for food security. Faced with a perilous future, it gives us reason to hope.
