    An immersive memoir about a groundbreaking surfing career, and a stunning portrait of Ireland as one of the world’s most captivating big-wave surfing destinations. 
    Born and raised in Bundoran, with the waves of the west coast of Ireland breaking at his doorstep, Richie Fitzgerald was moulded by his environment – from his initiation to surfing at the age of 9 in the cold Atlantic water to becoming Ireland’s first ever pro surfer and competing on a global scale. 
    But learning to surf in 1980s Ireland wasn’t without its challenges. With little to no equipment, Richie duct-taped Marigolds over woollen gloves to protect his hands from the freezing water and even melted Christening candles to pour on his board in place of surf wax. 
    Yet the west of Ireland boasts waves of size and quality to rival those in California and Hawaii, attracting surfers from all over the world who want to test their mettle, and Richie has surfed the biggest, and most dangerous, of them. 
    Cold-Water Eden is not just a captivating memoir about a transcendent sport: it is at its heart a coming-of-age story about one man’s pursuit of big waves and the dawn of Ireland as a singular destination on the global surf scene. 
    Richie Fitzgerald's Cold-Water Eden is a special autobiography that takes you on a personal journey through the best of Europe's surfing spots. It's a top pick for those with an interest in sports, travel, and memoirs. 
    For fans of Daniel Duane (How to Cook Like a Man), Andy Martin (Surf, Sweat and Tears), Garrett Mcnamara (Hound of the Sea), and Yvon Chouinard (Let My People Go Surfing).

    Life, With A History Of Smuggling. 
    ISLAMORADA, Florida, With Keys Don -- "Marijuana is a people business," explained Don, a long-retired pioneer of the marijuana smuggling industry, who flew single-engine planes back and forth to Colombia, carrying up to a million dollars-worth of pot per load, in today's money. 
    He brought marijuana through the Florida Keys, an area with thousands of places to hide, that's been a haven for smugglers since the times of the Spanish Main up until sometime late last night. Later he and his friends used boats and vehicles and expanded connections throughout the states, Mexico and the Philippines, even working with Federal Agents. 
    "I'll tell you about the life of a smuggler," said Don. "When marijuana is legal, we will be like the rum runners during prohibition and people might be interested in how it was in Smugglers' Times.

    This is small part of the introduction of the book: Welcome to the extraordinary journey through the life and legacy of one of India's greatest philosophers, theologians, and reformers - Adi Shankaracharya. In this book, we will explore the remarkable story of a man who, more than a millennium ago, left an indelible mark on Indian philosophy, spirituality, and culture. 
    Adi Shankaracharya, often referred to simply as Shankara, was a luminary of the 8th century CE. His teachings and profound insights into the nature of reality continue to influence countless minds, transcending the boundaries of time and geography. But who was Adi Shankaracharya, and why does his legacy endure? To answer these questions, we'll embark on a journey that takes us from his humble beginnings in the village of Kaladi to the far reaches of India and even to the sacred heights of Kailash. 
    We'll delve into the key events of his life, from his early education in the Vedic scriptures to his decision to renounce worldly life and become a monk. We'll follow him on his travels across the length and breadth of India as he spread his teachings, engaged in philosophical debates, and founded monastic institutions.

    A STRIKING MEMOIR OF GENDERFLUIDITY, CLASS, AND THE AMERICAN SOUTHWEST 
     
    Newly arrived in the Sonoran Desert, eleven-year-old Zoë enters a world of giant beetles, thundering javelinas, and gnarled palo verde trees. In Cactus Country RV Park, Zoë has been given a fresh start and a new, shorter haircut. Although Zoë doesn’t have the words to express it, he experiences life as a trans boy—and here, others begin to see him as a boy, too. Zoë spends hot days chasing shade and freight trains with an ever-rotating pack of sunburned desert kids, and nights fending off his own questions about the body underneath his baggy clothes. 
     
    As Zoë enters adolescence, he must reckon with the sexism, racism, substance abuse, and violence endemic to the working-class men he’s grown close to, whose hard masculinity seems as embedded in the desert landscape as the cacti sprouting from parched earth. In response, Zoë adopts an androgynous style and new pronouns, but still cannot escape what it means to live in a gendered body, particularly when a fraught first love destabilizes their sense of self. But beauty flowers in this desert, too. Zoë persists in searching for answers, dreaming of a day they might leave the park behind to embrace whatever awaits beyond. 
     
    Equal parts harsh and tender, Cactus Country is a precisely rendered journey of self-determination that will resonate with anyone who’s ever had to fight to be themself. 
     
    “Cactus Country shimmers with the complexity of becoming. Zoë Bossiere writes their way into a truer story of selfhood, resisting the simpler narratives the world demanded. The result is lush, beautiful, and deeply liberating.”—Alex Marzano Lesnevich, author of The Fact of a Body
