Reader recommendation: The View From Lazy Point

Monitor readers share their favorite book picks.

Carl Safina’s The View From Lazy Point chronicles a year living by the waters of Long Island, N.Y. His travels extend from the dying coral reefs of Belize to the melting ice of Svalbard in the Norwegian Sea. Safina uses his scientific knowledge and reverence for ocean life to engage and educate the reader about the reality of global warming. I am grateful for his wake-up call.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
