  Undeniably, the world and its people desperately need more hope. Our friends, foes, family, and fellows are all experiencing challenging times and fighting their own battles, and author Peter Bailey is no exception. From his current vantage point as a successful influence in the leadership and human improvement field, one might assume he looks back on his life (the addiction, the recovery, the travel, the heartbreak, the love, the grief) with difficulty and hesitance. Rather, it is exactly this kind of reflection that helped him take on the role in his story he was meant to play: the hero. 
  In his debut book, The Epic of You, Bailey uses Joseph Campbell’s Heroic Journey as a framework to plot out your past and navigate your future. More than a plot device or literary standard, Bailey proves the Hero’s Journey is an effective and transformative life map by . . . 
  • detailing and exemplifying his own epic journey, 
  • analyzing the practical applications of Campbell’s framework, 
  • and guiding readers through their reflective process in the Heroic Journey Guidebook section. 
  Far more than the standard self-help text, this book is a personal story, a comprehensive methodology, and a step-by-step guide to wholeness. If you’re ready to rewrite your personal mythos and rekindle your hope, this book is for you.

  The Greatest Gambling Story Ever Told is an inspiring personal narrative about a filly who broke through the male-dominated world of horseracing and inspired crowds of men and women alike, along with a trio of gamblers who embark on an unforgettable adventure that’s as epic as the historic victory of Winning Colors. It’s Seabiscuit meets Narcos, and the best true-life gambling story ever told. 
  In the late 1980s, a spectacular 3-year-old female racehorse named Winning Colors was being groomed for success under her famous “Hollywood” trainer, D. Wayne Lukas, and the billionaire owner of the San Diego Chargers pro-football team, Eugene Klein. Meanwhile, three fun-loving gamblers, Miami Paul, Dino Mateo, and Big Bernie believed that Winning Colors could be the unlikely female winner of the 1988 Kentucky Derby. 
  When the gamblers unknowingly place their longshot bet with members of a suspected drug cartel at a racetrack in Tijuana, Mexico, they must figure out how to claim their prize - without getting killed in the process. In a heart-pounding race of their own across the U.S.-Mexico border, the trio come face-to-face with suspected killers, are arrested by the Border Patrol, and fumble their way through the riskiest bet of their lives.

  A "hauntingly effective" surrealist travel memoir about the mysterious transformations that may lurk inside us all (Library Journal, starred review). 
   
   
   
  Venice, 2020. As a pandemic rages across the globe, Zito Madu finds himself in a nearly deserted city, its walls and basilicas humming with strange magic. As he wanders a haunted landscape, we see him twist further into his own past: his family's difficult immigration from Nigeria to Detroit, his troubled relationship with his father, the sporadic joys of daily life and solitude, his experiences with migration, poverty, foreignness, racism, and his own rage and regret. But as it is with all labyrinths, after finding its center, will he come away unscathed, or will he transform into the gripping, fantastical monstrousness that's out to consume him whole? 
   
   
   
  With nods to Italo Calvino and Jorge Luis Borges, this surrealist debut memoir takes us into the labyrinth of memory and the monsters lurking there.

  The Wood That Built London - A...

  It is hard to imagine that the busy townscape of South London was once a great wood, stretching almost seven miles from Croydon to Deptford or that, scattered through the suburbs, from Dulwich to Norwood, a number of oak woodlands have survived since before the Norman Conquest. These woods were intensively managed for a thousand years, providing timber for construction, furniture and shipbuilding, and charcoal for London's blacksmiths, kilns and bakeries. Now they afford important green space, a vital habitat for small mammals, birds and insects. 
   
  Drawing on a wealth of documents, historic maps and environmental evidence, The Wood That Built London charts the fortunes of the North Wood from its earliest times: its ecology, ownership, management, and the gradual encroachment of the metropolis.
