Earth will have more than 9.6 billion people by 2050 according to U.N. predictions. With resources already scarce, how will we feed them all? Journalist Lisa Palmer has traveled the world for years documenting the cutting-edge innovations of people and organizations on the front lines of fighting the food gap. Here, she shares the story of the epic journey to solve the imperfect relationship between two of our planet’s greatest challenges: climate change and global hunger. Hot, Hungry Planet focuses on three key concepts that support food security and resilience in a changing world: social, educational, and agricultural advances; land use and technical actions by farmers; and policy nudges that have the greatest potential for reducing adverse environmental impacts of agriculture while providing more food. Palmer breaks down this difficult subject though seven concise and easily-digestible case studies over the globe and presents the stories of individuals in six key regions—India, sub-Saharan Africa, the United States, Latin America, the Middle East, and Indonesia—painting a hopeful picture of both the world we want to live in and the great leaps it will take to get there.

Let's face it--parents don't get it. Or at least that's what their teenaged children think. Most teens think their parents don't know anything about life--especially not teen life.

It answers common questions teens have, like -how do I get my parents to be less embarrassing? -how do I get them to give me more freedom? -how do I tell my parents about things that are important to me? -what do I do if my parents are mean to me? -what are my parents thinking? -and many more Teens, parents, and youth leaders will find Stupid Parents entertaining, educational, and, like all Hungry Planet books, utterly relevant.

Hungry Planet and Hayley DiMarco took the teen scene by storm three years ago with the release of Dateable, an instant hit and enduring bestseller for teens. Now, after publishing more than a dozen titles, nine youth bestsellers, and selling over 500,000 copies to a generation rumored not to read, Hayley has established herself as a teen expert and "big sister" mentor who teen girls admire and trust for advice about everything from boys to breakups and fashion to friendship.

Hayley understands the day-to-day struggles of teens and the culture they live in. At the site, teens can write to Hayley about the things they're wrestling with and wondering about--knowing that in response they'll get straightforward, honest, and biblical answers to their questions. Ask Hayley brings those questions and answers to the printed page in a magazine-style series of bookzines that will feed her current fans and draw new ones.
