Tracking Giants - Big Trees Tiny...

Amanda Lewis, Dr. Diana...

Amanda Lewis was an overachieving, burned-out book editor most familiar with trees as dead blocks of paper. A dedicated "indoorswoman," she could barely tell a birch from a beech. But that didn't stop her from pledging to visit all of the biggest trees in British Columbia, a Canadian province known for its rugged terrain and gigantic trees. 
 
 
 
The "Champion" trees on Lewis's ambitious list ranged from mighty Western red cedars to towering arbutus. The only problem? Well, there were many . . . 
 
 
 
Climate change and a pandemic aside, Lewis's lack of wilderness experience, the upsetting reality of old-growth logging, the ever-changing nature of trees, and the pressures of her one-year time frame complicated her quest. Burned out again—and realizing that her "checklist" approach to life might be the problem—she reframed her search for trees to something humbler and more meaningful: getting to know forests in an interconnected way. 
 
 
 
Weaving in insights from writers and artists, Lewis uncovers what we're really after when we pursue the big things—revealing that sometimes it's the smaller joys, the mindsets we have, and the companions we're with that make us feel more connected to the natural world.

Until the Last Pickle - A Memoir...

Yuliya Patsay

Born to a Jewish mother and Ukrainian father during the final years of the Soviet Union, Yuliya Patsay grew up believing bread lines were a fun way to spend an afternoon, drafts caused pneumonia, and that Lenin was everyone’s benevolent grandpa.  After trading pickled herring and Soviet winters for San Francisco fog and year-round produce (the real American dream!) she found herself occupying two parallel universes: the first grounded in her Soviet roots and the second in her burgeoning ‘Amerikanskiye’ beliefs.Irreverent, nostalgic and vulnerable, Until the Last Pickle, is a memoir replete with remembrances, anecdotes, and exactly 18 recipes. It’s an exploration of identity and belonging — at once, deeply personal and broadly relatable — told through the lens of one family’s “totally average” immigration journey.

History’s Most Eccentric Rulers...

John Harpoon

Power has always been a double-edged sword—offering opportunities for greatness but also the potential for corruption, delusion, and madness. Throughout history, many rulers have been both celebrated and reviled for their eccentricities, often teetering on the edge of sanity while wielding vast control over nations. The stories of these rulers show how the intoxicating nature of power can distort the mind and lead to decisions that are as bizarre as they are devastating.
The concept of a "mad" ruler is not a modern invention. It dates back to the earliest recorded civilizations, where kings, emperors, and sultans were sometimes seen as divinely ordained and untouchable. But even among these figures, some exhibited signs of mental instability that manifested in erratic behavior, cruel decisions, and a disregard for the well-being of their people. Some were driven by paranoia, others by delusions of grandeur, and a few by sheer capriciousness. Their reigns were marked by irrational decisions, catastrophic wars, and extravagant indulgences, all stemming from minds slowly unraveling under the weight of their own authority.
However, the line between genius and madness in leadership has often been blurred. Some of these rulers, despite their apparent instability, shaped their empires in ways that were revolutionary. Their eccentricities, for better or worse, left lasting impacts on the world. The stories of these individuals are not just about the grotesque sides of leadership; they are also about how absolute power can warp the human psyche and elevate the smallest of flaws into destructive forces.

Constellations - Reflections...

Anônimo

The #1 Irish bestseller and winner of Non-Fiction Book of the Year at the 2019 An Post Irish Book Awards, winner of the 2020 Dalkey Literary Awards, named Best Book of the Year by the Guardian, Observer, Image, Irish Times, New Statesman, and Irish Independent, Sinéad Gleeson’s essays chronicle—in crystalline, tender, powerful prose—life in a body as it goes through sickness, health, motherhood, and love of all kinds.

""I have come to think of all the metal in my body as artificial stars, glistening beneath the skin, a constellation of old and new metal. A map, a tracing of connections and a guide to looking at things from different angles.""

We treat the body as an afterthought, until it no longer can be. Until the pain or the pleasure is too great. Sinéad Gleeson’s life has been marked by terrible illness, including leukemia and debilitating arthritis. As a child, she bathed in the springs of Lourdes, ever hopeful that her body would cooperate, ever looking forward to the day when she could take her body for granted. But just as she turns inward to explore her own pain, and then the marvel of recovery, and then the arrival of her greatest joys—falling in love, becoming a mother—she turns her gaze outward. She delves into history, art, literature, and music, plotting the intimate experience of life in a women’s body across a wide-ranging map. From Nick Cave to Taylor Swift, Botticelli to Frida Kahlo, Louisa May Alcott to Lucy Grealy, Constellations is an investigation into the different ways of seeing, both uniquely personal and universal in its resonances.

In the tradition of some of our finest life writers, Gleeson explores—in her own spirited, generous voice—the fierceness of being alive. She has written “a book [that] every woman should read” (Eimear McBride).
