  In the end, there is only the story we leave behind. 
  For over fifty years, palliative nurse Dale Heim has been a keeper of stories—whispered confessions, defiant last wishes, and unexpected moments of grace at life’s closing.  
  In Dying Ways, she shares raw, tender stories from the frontlines of mortality: A tantric teacher who swims with dolphins as her final act of freedom; A grandmother dancing with butterfly tattoos over mastectomy scars; A WWII survivor serenaded by the Hallelujah Chorus as she takes her last breath; and many more. 
  With unflinching honesty and deep compassion, Dale reveals how death reshapes the living—offering lessons in forgiveness, acceptance, and the courage to live fully even as the light fades. From the chaos of trauma wards to quiet hospice rooms, she shows that dying is not an end but a poignant, human art.  
  Perfect for fans of Paul Kalanithi’s “When Breath Becomes Air” and Caitlin Doughty’s “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes”, this is an essential companion for caregivers, grievers, and anyone who fears mortality’s shadow. Because, as Dale reminds us, “Death is only ugly if we allow it to be. Accept the truth, and it can be beautiful, too." 
  Includes "Need Support?" section with books, music, and resources for continuing the journey.

  English/Canadian indie musician Tamara Williamson offers an unbridled account of a life in the world of horses. 
  From her first clever little bay pony, Stroller, to brilliant ribbon-winning Fletcher, Tamara Williamson recalls the many significant horses in her life, grappling with what it means to be horse-obsessed and what drives this desire to connect with horses. As Williamson discovers, during the tumultuous years of relationships with people and horses, these complicated equine creatures reflect back to us our best and worst selves. 
  Woven throughout the stories of individual horses in Williamson’s life is her own story of a creative, chaotic, challenging and adventurous life. Raised by an eccentric family, with a distant mother who disappeared into alcoholism and a charismatic father who left one sunny morning with a younger woman, Williamson struggles with dyslexia and a sense of increasing detachment. Horses, and the exacting sport of dressage, provide her with opportunities to connect, sometimes imperfectly. Her drive for accomplishment in equestrian sports, whether as a trainer or a rider, is regularly at odds with the fear that lingers from a traumatic childhood riding accident. 
  While reckoning with the financial and psychological expense of training and competition, and with the multitude of industries that benefit from horses, Williamson never loses sight of the enormous burden of responsibility she feels toward horses and the respect she has for their individual characters, memories and instincts. On the surface, The Mirror Horse is a book about horses—but beyond the bridles and braided manes, Williamson crafts a complex story about courage, family, and the unexpected places where we find a reflection of our souls: As a rider you can confuse yourself with being the teacher, but horses are constantly showing us something important. They are holding up a mirror.

  A straightforward and fact-based exploration of how weather happens, how it relates to climate, and how science answers major questions about Earth as a system 
   
   
    
  Climate change is one of the most hotly contested environmental topics of our day. To answer criticisms and synthesize available information, scientists have been driven to devise increasingly complex models of the climate system. This book conveys that the basics of climate and climate change have been known for decades, and that relatively simple descriptions can capture the major features of the climate system and help the general public understand what controls climate and weather, and how both might be changing. 
   
   
    
  Renowned environmental scientist and educator John D. Aber distills what he has learned from a long fascination with weather and climate, the process of science, and the telling of the story of science. This is not a book about policies and politics. Instead, it explores how weather happens, how it relates to climate, and how science has been used to answer major questions about the Earth as a system and inform policies that have reversed environmental degradation. By providing a guided tour of the science of weather, this thoughtful survey will contribute clarity and rationality to the public understanding of climate change.
