  Feisty, funny, and almost fabulous: A relationship guide and collection of outrageous dating mishaps from the unfiltered and often inappropriate Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star. Welcome to Drinking and Dating . . . and how social media is ruining us all. 
  In this honest, hilarious, and wild tell-all, reality TV starlet and number one New York Times bestselling author Brandi Glanville chronicles her misadventures stumbling through today's dating world. From felons to social media blunders and bedroom esca-pades, Brandi withholds nothing as she writes about the perils of getting back . . . on her back. 
  Despite Brandi's life in the public spotlight, she has the same difficulty meeting, trusting, and even dating new people as the rest of us—perhaps even more. She hopes to develop a lasting, loving relationship, but it's been a struggle. With her signature tell-it-like-it-is voice, the single mother of two brings you along on her journey as the controversial but charming former fashion model shows her all-too-human side, candidly sharing the humorous and unforeseen ups and downs—literally and figuratively—in her search for love.  
  Brandi Glanville is surprising, vulnerable, and outspoken, and her take on dating after heartbreak—and life in general—is as unique as she is. Just like Brandi herself, Drinking and Dating is sexy, funny, and eyebrow-raising—not that she can raise hers. #Botox.

  A comprehensive compendium of canine varieties—from purebreds to designer doodles—from the acclaimed author of The Spirit of the Dog.   One glance around the local park will confirm that man’s best friend comes in many varieties. As the first animal domesticated by humans, dogs have been selectively bred for tens of thousands of years to be herders, hunters, guard dogs, and friends. The result is a plethora of breeds that are as different as the pint-sized chihuahua and the massive St. Bernard.   Now there is a guide to each of them. Dogs Unleashed contains all the information required to differentiate breeds of canine. From the standard poodle to the Finnish spitz, readers will become experts of identification. Alongside beautiful photography, discover information on conformation, history, temperament, health risks, and more. This book even contains a section on today’s designer breeds like the labradoodle, the puggle, and the cockapoo. Ideal for researching a new family pet, or for general knowledge, this book reveals which dogs are the most expensive to keep, which are the best swimmers, and which breed has the longest life expectancy.

  A Place of Healing for the Soul...

  “France’s conversion is deeply touching . . . This is religious discovery for a postmodern generation.” —Philip Zaleski, Los Angeles Times   The tiny, arid Greek island of Patmos is one of the most sacred places in the Christian world—a place of bewitching power, where people come for a brief summer visit and end up returning, year after year, for the rest of their lives. They respond to an unexplainable force that they can find nowhere else. Perhaps it is the invigorating “Greek light” that infuses the Holy Island’s rocks and hills with a breathtaking sharpness and clarity, dating back to the time when Zeus raised the island from the bed of the sea.   Or perhaps it is Patmos’s incredible history. Almost two thousand years ago, Saint John was exiled here, and lived as a hermit in the cave of Revelation, where he experienced a vision that led to the most famous piece of apocalyptic literature, the Book of Revelation.   In A Place of Healing for the Soul, BBC commentator Peter France—who arrived on the island a hardened skeptic—tells how he came to change his life perspective. Learning from the island’s gregarious inhabitants and its religious eccentrics—hermits, ascetics, monks, and nuns—he discovered the pleasure and security of living simply and doing without, in a timeless realm where history, myth, and spirituality are endlessly alive.   “France, an erudite and amiable companion, who spices his writing with self-deprecating wit and thoughtful commentary on the eternal mysteries of the universe, has created a delight for open, even if skeptical, minds.” —Booklist

  Discover twenty-two “bad-girl” goddesses from cultures around the world in this other-worldly guide by the author of Tender Murderers and Wild Irish Roses. 
   
  Eternally Bad is a wickedly fun, irreverent tribute to mythological “bad girl” goddesses from around the world. Trina Robbins, award-winning feminist cartoonist, takes off the gloves and tells the tales of twenty not-so-sweet, totally immoderate, and utterly enjoyable goddesses. The earliest proponents of sexual equality, they slip mickeys into drinks, have catfights with their sisters, get even when they get dumped, fight, kill, and generally have a great time. You’ll read about Osmotar, the Finnish witch who created beer, Freya—the original Snow White—who slept with dwarfs to get a famous diamond necklace, Jezebel, Kali, and others. Thoroughly delightful, Eternally Bad shows us how women with the ultimate attitude can have fun. Plus, there’s even a test to help you discover your own inner bitch goddess! 
   
  Praise for Eternally Bad 
   
  “Robbins reveals a genuine love and respect for the kickass Goddesses and mythologies she writes about and the tales that she retells. A great introduction to a wonderful subject.” —Neil Gaiman, New York Times–bestselling author of American Gods 
   
  “Robbins shows us the soap opera lives of bitch Goddesses who’d sooner turn you into a wild boar than bless your drum circle.” —Michelle Tea, author of Valencia, Against Memoir, and Without a Net 
   
  “If you enjoy Goddess humor, Trina Robbins is your writer! She rocks the old mythology while teaching it. Eternally Bad is consistently excellent!” —Zsuzsanna Budapest, author of Summoning the Fates and Grandmother Moon
