    From award-winning author Merilyn Simonds, a remarkable biography of an extraordinary woman — a Swedish aristocrat who survived the Russian Revolution to become an internationally renowned naturalist, one of the first to track the mid-century decline of songbirds.
    		 
    2022 Foreword Indies Award Winner for the Editor’s Choice Prize, non fiction

    Referred to as a Canadian Rachel Carson, Louise de Kiriline Lawrence lived and worked in an isolated log cabin near North Bay. After her husband was murdered by Bolsheviks, she refused her Swedish privilege and joined the Canadian Red Cross, visiting her northern Ontario patients by dogsled. When Elzire Dionne gave birth to five babies, Louise became nurse to the Dionne Quintuplets. Repulsed by the media circus, she retreated to her wilderness cabin, where she devoted herself to studying the birds that nested in her forest. Author of six books and scores of magazine stories, de Kiriline Lawrence and her “loghouse nest” became a Mecca for international ornithologists.
    		 
    Lawrence was an old woman when Merilyn Simonds moved into the woods not far away. Their paths crossed, sparking Simonds’s lifelong interest. A dedicated birder, Simonds brings her own songbird experiences from Canadian nesting grounds and Mexican wintering grounds to this deeply researched, engaging portrait of a uniquely fascinating woman.

    Before the world of Animal Crossing became a pandemic lifeline for millions, the "social sim" communication game Dо̄butsu no Mori, or "Animal Forest," debuted in 2001 on Nintendo 64 in Japan, then once again in 2002 on GameCube to critical and commercial success all over the world. 
     
     
      
    An open-ended casual game ahead of its time, Animal Crossing set the stage for the series's many incarnations to come with its focus on building community and friendship, its in-game currency of Bells, and its village of Animalese-speaking friends like Tom Nook, K. K. Slider, and the mean Mr. Resetti. You could visit the villages of your friends and give them gifts—all without being connected to the internet. 
     
     
      
    Video game preservationist and historian Kelsey Lewin tells the story of how a mundane-sounding game full of bug-catching, letter-writing, and furniture-collecting became one of Nintendo's best-loved franchises, with Animal Crossing: New Horizons eclipsing Super Mario Bros. for all-time sales in Japan, unlocking gaming's massive potential to tap into our desire to plant trees, find friends, and make the world a better place.

    When board-certified physician Julianna Lindsey opened her Radiant Longevity clinic at the start of the COVID pandemic, she knew she was up against a gigantic, profit-oriented "sick-care" industry run on false promises and quick fixes, and endlessly pitching its unproven interventions and persistent vices to a society hooked on feeling better now-who cared about later. Guided by a passion for her patients, equipped with the latest research, and continually validated by results in both her clients and her personal experience, Dr. Lindsey set out to fight back against generations of harmful habits and medical practices responsible for an epidemic of accelerated aging.

    How to track and monitor our health on a manageable day-to-day basis (and accessible technologies we can use to help us along the way)
    
    How to cultivate healthy sleep habits, even in the most challenging conditions
    
    What to eat (recipes included!), what definitely not to eat, and what to eat less of to manage weight and stay thriving into the decades ahead
    
    Misconceptions about effective exercise and how we can tailor an approach to fitness specifically to our own needs and abilities
    
    How our mental health plays an equal role in aging, and how we can all tend to it with care-and that's just scratching the surface!
    
    A perfect balance of instruction and motivation, this book is more than just a guide-it's a lifeline to a healthier, happier future. Join Dr. Lindsey and start your journey to feeling your best not only today, but for all the years to come!
