Kathleen Austin has published "Beary Best Friends A Visit to the Dentist," the third book in her children’s series, through Page Publishing.

The series follows a group of bear characters through everyday childhood experiences, and this installment centers on a trip to the dentist. According to the publisher’s synopsis, the book ends with the characters walking out of the dental office and wondering where their next adventure will take them, a framing consistent across the earlier entries in the series and one that suggests Austin is building toward further books rather than closing out the story.

Austin, a graduate of Hunterdon Central High School, lives in Milford, New Jersey, with her husband. She has said the characters draw on people in her own life, including her nephew Anthony, her cousin Stephen Perry, who lives in England, and her son Jeffrey Jr. The book’s dedication credits Dr. Thomas Evers and his staff, whom Austin has said informed the story’s approach to dental care.

"I wanted to create a story that shows children how a trip to the dentist can actually be an adventure," Austin stated according to the press release. "Through the eyes of my beloved characters, I hope every child discovers that taking care of their teeth is something to embrace with joy and confidence."

The publisher describes the book as aimed at easing children’s anxiety about dental visits through themes of courage and friendship. "Beary Best Friends A Visit to the Dentist" is available in paperback and through major retailers including Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Google Play, and the Apple iTunes Store.

Studio CarryOnHarry sees this as a small but telling entry in a durable corner of children’s publishing: books built around a single anxiety-inducing milestone, from first haircuts to first dentist visits, that parents reliably seek out regardless of how crowded that shelf already is.

Matt Landry, a retired aerospace engineer based in Denver, authored "The Evolutionary Lens of Teilhard de Chardin," a 440-page book examining how the ideas of the French Jesuit priest and paleontologist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin might offer a way to reconcile scientific and religious understandings of human origins.

The book, published through Page Publishing, was released in January 2026 and runs 440 pages in paperback, according to publisher listings. An audiobook edition, narrated by John Bundy, is also available.

Teilhard de Chardin, who died in 1955, spent much of his career trying to fit the theory of evolution into a Christian theological framework, arguing that the universe was moving toward greater complexity and consciousness rather than unfolding by chance alone. His writings were controversial within the Catholic Church during his lifetime and were not fully published until after his death. Landry’s book applies that framework to a broader argument: that in Landry’s view, scientific and religious inquiry should be seen as mutually reinforcing rather than antagonistic.

"Nietzsche suggests that ‘peering into the abyss’ is a frightening exercise, but a clear-eyed grasp of the near-infinite universe can yield not only a better understanding of it, but one in which we ourselves can be seen as more relevant to it," Landry writes, according to the publisher’s description. He frames Teilhard de Chardin’s perspective as a way to see how, in his words, "the great human enterprises of science and religion can harmonize into a grand vision of reality."

The publisher describes the book as aiming to show that religious and scientific viewpoints can work in tandem to address larger questions about existence, rather than being used to disprove one another. No detailed biography of Landry beyond his aerospace engineering background accompanied the announcement.

Readers can obtain the book from Page Publishing directly, or through major online retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and Apple’s digital bookstore.

For Studio CarryOnHarry, the notable thing here is that a career spent in aerospace engineering, not theology or philosophy, is what’s driving this particular argument for synthesis between faith and science.
