"Nurse: A World of Care" by Peter Jaret and Karen Kasmauski; senior editor: Marla Salmon (Emory University, $29.95). A writer-photographer team explores "the vital and often invisible work of nurses throughout the globe." Senior editor Salmon is the dean at the University of Washington School of Nursing.
"In the Convent of Little Flowers" by Indu Sundaresan (Atria, $22). A short-story collection from the Seattle novelist ("The Feast of Roses"). Sundaresan shifts gears from historical fiction to contemporary tales set in India and the U.S.
"Edges of Bounty: Adventures in the Edible Valley" by William Emery and Scott Squire (Heyday, $24.95). The "valley" in the subtitle is California's Central Valley. But photographer Squire hails from West Seattle.

Two new photo-histories in the ever-expanding series by Arcadia — the first looking at wrecks, rescues and lighthouses from Cape Flattery to Cape Disappointment; the second tracing the evolution of Federal Way from a logging settlement into a Seattle suburb.

"Night of the Moon: A Muslim Holiday Story" by Hena Khan, illustrated by Julie Paschkis (Chronicle, $16.99). A picture book for children ages 4-8 about Ramadan. Illustrator Paschkis lives in Seattle.
