    Before he became one of America’s most influential environmental voices, John Muir was a curious Scottish immigrant boy growing up on the Wisconsin frontier. This honest and vivid memoir traces his journey from a strict religious upbringing to the early stirrings of a lifelong love for nature.

    A compelling read for fans of nature writing, American history, and personal memoirs, this book offers a glimpse into the early mind of the man who helped inspire the creation of Yosemite National Park and the Sierra Club.

    On Nami’s thirtieth birthday, she’s reminded at every turn that her life isn’t what she’d planned. She’s always excelled at everything—until now. Her fiancé blew up their engagement. Her pride and joy, the tech company she helped to found, is about to lose funding. And her sister, Sora, is getting married to the man of her dreams, Jack—and instead of being happy for her, as Nami knows she ought to be, she’s fighting off jealousy. 
     
    Frustrated with her life, she makes a wish on a birthday candle to find her soulmate. Instead the universe delivers her hate mate, Nami’s old nemesis, Jae Lee, the most popular kid from her high school, who also narrowly beat her out for valedictorian. More than a decade later, Jae is still as effortlessly cool, charming, and stylish as ever, and, to make matters worse, he’s planning a hostile takeover of her start-up. Cue sharp elbows and even sharper banter as the two go head-to-head to see who’ll win this time. But when their rivalry ignites a different kind of passion, Nami starts to realize it’s not just her company that’s in danger of being taken over, but her heart as well.

    From the bestselling author of Jews Don’t Count 
    ‘ A hugely heartfelt, funny, kind, fascinating, human and clever book ’ ALAIN DE BOTTON 
    ‘ Magnificent. Breathtaking. And shockingly rare … another one-sitting wonder’ STEPHEN FRY 
    David Baddiel would love there to be a God. He has spent a lot of time fantasising about how much better life would be if there actually was such a thing as a Superhero Dad who chased off Death. Unfortunately for him, there isn’t. Or at least, that is Baddiel’s view in this book, which argues that it is indeed the very intensity of his, and everyone else’s, desire for God to exist that proves His non-existence. Anything so deeply wished-for we will, considers Baddiel, make real. The admission of his own divine yearnings makes for a book that is more vulnerable – and more understanding of the value and power of religion – than most atheist polemics. A philosophical essay that utilises Baddiel’s trademarks of comedy, storytelling and personal asides, The God Desire offers a highly readable new perspective on the most ancient of debates. 
    David Baddiel's The God Desire is a Sunday Times bestseller that offers a unique blend of humour and philosophy. This autobiography, presented in the form of engaging essays, explores the topic of atheism, making it a top choice for readers seeking a fresh perspective on non-fiction memoirs. 
    For fans of Dara Horn (People Love Dead Jews), Robin Dunbar (How Religion Evolved), John Updike (Self-Consciousness), Dave Rich (Everyday Hate), and Alastair Campbell (But What Can I Do?).
