  Surviving Life’s Most Brutal StormsAs a World Series-winning pitcher with the San Francisco Giants, Jeremy Affeldt stared down all kinds of pressure. But none compared to the stress he faced in his personal life, when things completely fell apart. He learned that going it alone in a crisis is like trying to pitch without a catcher—there’s no one to help with the next pitch or advise you on the curveballs.In Built for the Storm, Affeldt shares his personal story—including pitching with double vision in Game 7 of the 2014 World Series—and the lesson he’s learned: It’s better to find your herd—a small group of friends who are there for you whenthe next storm hits. It’s called the “buffalo mentality”—a mindset to run toward the storm, rather than away from it. Not because the storm isn’t terrifying, but because it is. And when we face the storm and move into it, there’s a good chance we’ll get through it faster. Especially together. That’s the buffalo mentality. That’s built for the storm.

  The wild stories of gold and the Australian outback from a young woman defying male conventions in pursuit of the mother lode. 
  If you haven’t seen a Discovery Channel gold-hunting show, you might picture a gold prospector as a relic of the Wild West: a TNT-toting, bearded old man wildly swinging a pick on the hunt for nuggets, guided by old maps, superstition, legends and instinct. It’s still predominantly a man’s world, and still often fanatical, but these days the golden dream attracts people from all walks of life – and 25-year-old Tyler Mahoney (Australian star of the Discovery Channel’s Gold Rush series) is leading the way. 
  Hailing from Kalgoorlie, Tyler is a fourth-generation gold miner and has seen up close how gold fever makes normally reasonable people do the most irrational things. From mysterious corpses in the desert to huge heists, backstabbings to life-changing finds, Tyler unearths hair-raising stories and legends from Australia’s gold prospecting past and present, while sharing her experience forging her way in a traditionally male domain. She writes candidly about the push and pull of the gold world in her own life, as well as her struggles with bipolar disorder – a mental-health challenge that in some ways parallels the feast-or-famine nature of prospecting itself. 
  With humour, grit and an infectious zest for life, ‘gold digger’ Tyler Mahoney stakes her claim.

  The intriguing, in-depth story of the most powerful woman in Canadian politics. *A NATIONAL BESTSELLER* 
   
   
   
  Catherine Tsalikis traces Chrystia Freeland's remarkable journey from the northwestern Alberta town of Peace River to Moscow, London, and New York, where she spent two decades as a journalist, to the halls of Parliament Hill as deputy prime minister and finance minister in Justin Trudeau's Liberal government. Ambitious and talented with a work ethic to match, Freeland has had an impressive run since she entered politics in 2013: spearheading major trade negotiations, expertly navigating relations with an erratic US president, speaking out about human rights abuses in Saudi Arabia, and standing up to Vladimir Putin's aggressions in Ukraine. 
   
   
   
  With her impeccable research, seasoned perspective, and accessible style, Tsalikis brings Freeland's story to life. The defining moments and experiences that shaped Freeland's particular worldview illuminate the answers to larger social questions: how to live a good, useful life; how to hold fast to guiding principles; how to break through glass ceilings. This is a unique behind-the-curtains look at Canadian politics through the story of a trailblazing woman.
