  Discover how transforming your space can also transform your soul, with this unique guide from a longtime professional organizer.   Most people think getting organized is simply about sorting papers or using file folders. But after years in the field of professional organizing, Pamela Kristan has learned that organizing is a doorway, an opportunity to find personal power and meaning.   Organizing is an intimate encounter with life’s everyday details that has the power to engage us profoundly with our soul, with our world, and even with the grand patterns of Nature. Rather than being a mundane chore that pulls us away from spiritual work, organizing can draw us into the cosmos.  The Spirit of Getting Organized is a different kind of guide—helping us develop order both internally and externally, and revealing how you can transform a dreadful chore like cleaning out your closet into an opportunity for an intimate encounter with your true self.

  An “entertaining [and] eminently readable” exploration of our home planet from the New York Times–bestselling author of Don’t Know Much About History(Publishers Weekly). 
   
  Geography is much more than naming countries on a map or memorizing state capitals. It’s the hub from which other disciplines radiate: meteorology, ecology, geology, oceanography, demographics, cartography, agricultural studies, economics, and political science. Yet many of us don’t know much about it. This fun and fascinating guide can change that! 
   
  In addition to presenting plenty of geographical trivia to impress your friends, Kenneth C. Davis explores 21st-century topics of global concern, including the role of the Internet and technology in transforming the lives of people around the world, how so-called developing nations develop, sustainability, and debates over climate change and evolutionary science. This completely revised and updated version of Don't Know Much About Geography is an illuminating grand tour of planet Earth. 
   
  “Reading [Kenneth C. Davis] is like returning to the classroom of the best teacher you ever had.” —People

  God and Football - Faith and...

  At the age of 8, Chad Gibbs attended his first Southeastern Conference football game.  Since then he has been in a constant battle to not let his love of all things pigskin consume him.  As a Christian, Gibbs knows he cannot serve two masters, but at times his faith is overwhelmed by his fanaticism.  He is not alone.In 2008 over six million people attended an SEC football game.  They spend thousands on season tickets, donate millions to athletic departments, and for three months a year order their entire lives around the schedule of their favorite team. Gibbs and his six million friends do not live in a spiritually void land where such borderline idol worship would normally be accepted.  They live in the American South, where according to the 2008 American Religious Identification Survey, 84 percent identify themselves as Christians.  This apparent contradiction that Gibbs sees in his own life, and in millions of others, has led him to journey to each of the twelve schools to spend time with rabid, Christian fans of various ages and denominations.  Through his journey he hopes to learn how others are able to balance their passion for their team with their devotion to God.  And if Gibbs learns others are just as messed up as he is, at least he will know he is not alone.

  The Fauves

  Born at the dawn of the 20th century, Fauvism burst onto the artistic scene at the 1905 Salon d'Automne with great controversy by throwing bright, vibrant colours in the face of artistic convention. Fuelled by change, artists like Matisse, Derain, and Vlaminck searched for a new chromatic language by using colour out of its habitual context. Freed from the strict technique advocated by the École des Beaux-Arts, they used blocky colours as their main resource, saturating their stunning paintings. The author invites us to experience this vivid artistic evolution that, although encompassing a short amount of time, left its mark on the path to modernity.
