All Abroad: A Memoir of Travel and Obsession by Geoffrey Weill

All Abroad: A Memoir of Travel and Obsessionby Geoffrey Weill

DESCRIPTION:

Yearning for an escape from a claustrophobic childhood, Geoffrey Weill became infatuated with travel. At twenty-three, the budding British connoisseur made his way across the Atlantic on an ocean liner. The year was 1973, and he was bound for New York to pursue a promising role as consultant-in-training at the headquarters of the world’s oldest travel agency, Thomas Cook. The idyllic trip was reminiscent of those from the early twentieth century but made distinctly modern by a nightly reminder–at the onboard dance club, one was sure to run into a sequin-clad David Bowie.

All Abroad is the memoir of a man hungry for the logistics of travel: getting there, staying there, and feeling at home on any continent. Woven into his entertaining anecdotes is an informative account of a lost era in travel. As a witness to compelling and monumental changes in the industry, Weill offers a unique view into how our vacations have been shaped deeply by human trends, tragedies, and technologies. While some long for the grandeur of tourism from decades ago, Weill insists that travel–the conveyances and hotels that await journey’s end–remains as glamorous as ever.

DESCRIPTION:

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Before Gabrielle Hamilton opened her acclaimed New York restaurant Prune, she spent twenty hard-living years trying to find purpose and meaning in her life. Blood, Bones & Butter follows an unconventional journey through the many kitchens Hamilton has inhabited through the years: the rural kitchen of her childhood, where her adored mother stood over the six-burner with an oily wooden spoon in hand; the kitchens of France, Greece, and Turkey, where she was often fed by complete strangers and learned the essence of hospitality; Hamilton’s own kitchen at Prune, with its many unexpected challenges; and the kitchen of her Italian mother-in-law, who serves as the link between Hamilton’s idyllic past and her own future family—the result of a prickly marriage that nonetheless yields lasting dividends. By turns epic and intimate, Gabrielle Hamilton’s story is told with uncommon honesty, grit, humor, and passion.

For over a quarter of a century caring for patients in the ER, as well as teaching the principles of fitness-based weight-management to thousands of men and women, Richard Kelley, M.D. has acquired a treasure trove of wisdom and experience which comes only with time in the trenches.  

As the author of ‘The Fitness Response…21 Steps to Model Your Way to a Fit, Fabulous Body,’ and multiple Amazon eBooks, Dr. Kelley delivers ‘Wealth, Fitness & Power for Life’ as an inspirational resource for those seeking a springboard to a healthier, more meaningful and prosperous life.

-Why it’s not only OK to desire and seek financial freedom and prosperity…it’s a mental shift that you can and must cultivate daily to avoid complacency and to move your life forward on multiple levels.

“What’s Left Untold is a heartfelt and surprising examination of friendship, honesty, and whether ‘love is love.'” Cara Sue Achterberg, national bestselling author of Girls’ Weekend

“I stayed up half the night reading this book, nearly one-more-chaptering myself to death!” Suanne Schafer, author of Hunting the Devil

Every secret has its price.

Anna Clark and Lia Clay were unlikely best friends in high school, but their yin-and-yang personalities drew them together in a sister-like bond. Then during college, Lia inexplicably walked out on their friendship and disappeared, leaving Anna hurt, confused, and disillusioned.

Twenty years later, Anna discovers a letter Lia wrote the summer after high school–a letter that contains a cryptic postscript concealing a devastating truth. With her twenty-year high school reunion approaching, Anna moves closer to uncovering the secret in Lia’s letter and the heartbreaking consequences it set in motion.

As the layers of deceit and betrayal begin to unravel, Anna is forced to question everything she believes and come to terms with what it means to forgive the one person who hurt her in the worst way imaginable.

Deal availability may change without notice! Prices may vary from store to store. Due to international copyright, availability and pricing may vary outside of the US.

DESCRIPTION:

Our existence is fragile. I learned that in many intricate ways, so I do not take today for granted. I do not know what tomorrow will bring. I do not even know if tomorrow will come.

On the eve of Thanksgiving 2016, I received the diagnosis of stage 4 lung cancer. Next to dying, I fear the spread of cancer to my brain and losing my ability to think, speak, or write. This loss would be devastating to me.

The fragility of our life made me want to be authentic. Therefore, I am writing this memoir to be authentic–we become our true selves when we author who we are.

I am afraid of being forgotten. Death does frighten me. But more than dying, I am scared of having no one remember me or, even worse, of being recognized differently from who I was. At the same time, I have never thought that I was entitled to ask others not to forget me. But, not to be forgotten is precisely what I yearn for.

While I am writing for the other, I am simultaneously writing for myself. I am one of the readers and will test the subject as it gets written. My criteria are stricter. I want to say, “This is my narrative.”

I need to be able to say, “This is my narrative.”

DESCRIPTION:

They can take your house, your daughter, whatever they want.

For Ariliah, life under the militarized Hulcondans is one of order and safety. Despite the soldiers’ ruthless policies, she trusts their judgment. They alone provide protection from the enemies lurking beyond the city wall.

For her older sister, Rabreah, every glance from a Hulcondan is a threat. Though even a whisper against them is treason worthy of death, Rabreah is determined to end their tyranny. Joining an underground resistance is her only hope – until she realizes she doesn’t know the people she’s aligned herself with at all. Unsure who to trust but unable to back out, she must work alongside the attractive yet infuriating rebel leader who reminds her far too much of the soldiers she hates.

But with subversive posters appearing throughout the city and people dying on the blade of an unknown assailant, the sisters’ world begins to crumble.

And as the line between friend and enemy blurs, both girls must face the truth: everything is about to change.

Sowing is a gritty, slow burn spy thriller set in a dystopian world on the brink of war.

Perfect for fans of the characterization and political tension in Leigh Bardugo’s Six of Crows, Sabaa Tahir’s An Ember in the Ashes series, and Pierce Brown’s Red Rising saga.

"I had the choice to come back … or not. I chose to return when I realized that 'heaven' is a state, not a place"

In this truly inspirational memoir, Anita Moorjani relates how, after fighting cancer for almost four years, her body began shutting down–overwhelmed by the malignant cells spreading throughout her system. As her organs failed, she entered into an extraordinary near-death experience where she realized her inherent worth . . . and the actual cause of her disease. Upon regaining consciousness, Anita found that her condition had improved so rapidly that she was released from the hospital within weeks–without a trace of cancer in her body!

Within this enhanced e-book, Anita recounts–in words and on video–stories of her childhood in Hong Kong, her challenge to establish her career and find true love, as well as how she eventually ended up in that hospital bed where she defied all medical knowledge.

In "Dying to Be Me," Anita Freely shares all she has learned about illness, healing, fear, "being love," and the true magnificence of each and every human being!

Deal availability may change without notice! Prices may vary from store to store. Due to international copyright, availability and pricing may vary outside of the US.

DESCRIPTION:

The “highly entertaining” New York Times bestseller, which explains chaos theory and the butterfly effect, from the author of The Information (Chicago Tribune).

For centuries, scientific thought was focused on bringing order to the natural world. But even as relativity and quantum mechanics undermined that rigid certainty in the first half of the twentieth century, the scientific community clung to the idea that any system, no matter how complex, could be reduced to a simple pattern. In the 1960s, a small group of radical thinkers began to take that notion apart, placing new importance on the tiny experimental irregularities that scientists had long learned to ignore. Miniscule differences in data, they said, would eventually produce massive ones–and complex systems like the weather, economics, and human behavior suddenly became clearer and more beautiful than they had ever been before.

In this seminal work of scientific writing, James Gleick lays out a cutting edge field of science with enough grace and precision that any reader will be able to grasp the science behind the beautiful complexity of the world around us. With more than a million copies sold, Chaos is “a groundbreaking book about what seems to be the future of physics” by a writer who has been a finalist for both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, the author of Time Travel: A History and Genius: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman (Publishers Weekly).

DESCRIPTION:

Raven Transcending Fear is part memoir, part self-help guide. It’s the authors’ raw and personal story of childhood abuse and diving deep into her terror before ultimately getting comfortable with fear and transcending it. Though Terri had loving people in her life, her mother was abusive and enabled others to traumatize her. To get drugs, her mother allowed strangers to assault her 11-year-old body sexually. She then left her and her sister alone on the streets of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Terri’s childhood left her filled with fear until she embarked on a spiritual journey and learned the skills of empowerment, which have allowed her to transcend the fear and regain a connection with the Divine. Everyone is born fearless and knowing who they are and what their purpose is. However, life experience or abuse may instill fear and break the connection with our authentic selves. Through this memoir, readers will go on the journey with her as Terri moves from a life ruled by fear to fearlessness.

DESCRIPTION:

Our existence is fragile. I learned that in many intricate ways, so I do not take today for granted. I do not know what tomorrow will bring. I do not even know if tomorrow will come.

On the eve of Thanksgiving 2016, I received the diagnosis of stage 4 lung cancer. Next to dying, I fear the spread of cancer to my brain and losing my ability to think, speak, or write. This loss would be devastating to me.

The fragility of our life made me want to be authentic. Therefore, I am writing this memoir to be authentic–we become our true selves when we author who we are.

I am afraid of being forgotten. Death does frighten me. But more than dying, I am scared of having no one remember me or, even worse, of being recognized differently from who I was. At the same time, I have never thought that I was entitled to ask others not to forget me. But, not to be forgotten is precisely what I yearn for.

While I am writing for the other, I am simultaneously writing for myself. I am one of the readers and will test the subject as it gets written. My criteria are stricter. I want to say, “This is my narrative.”

I need to be able to say, “This is my narrative.”

DESCRIPTION:

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A spellbinding and shocking look at Belinda Carlisle’s role in forming the Go-Go’s and her rise, fall, and eventual rebirth as a wife, mother, and sober artist

“An unflinching look back . . . with heartbreaking honesty and a wry sense of humor.”–USA Today

The women of the iconic eighties band the Go-Go’s will always be remembered as they appeared on the back of their debut record: sunny, smiling, each soaking in her own private bubble bath with chocolates and champagne. The photo is a perfect tribute to the fun, irreverent brand of pop music that the Go-Go’s created, but it also conceals the trials and secret demons that the members of the group–in particular, its lead singer, Belinda Carlisle–struggled with on their rise to stardom.

Lips Unsealed is Belinda’s story in her own words–from her crazy days on tour with the Go-Go’s to her private problems with abusive relationships, self-esteem, and a thirty-year battle with addiction. Ultimately, it is a love letter to music, the lifelong friendships between the members of the Go-Go’s, the beloved husband and son who led Belinda to sobriety, and a life which, though deeply flawed, was–and is still–fully lived.

DESCRIPTION:

A litany of confessions.

A maze of tribulations.

A test of endurance.

Dangerously obese Marty Clawson persuades her cheating husband to dump her in the woods where she hopes to be scared skinny. 

But her fantasies about heroic outdoor survival flop as hard as her marriage. Dejected beyond measure, she takes a bus to Montana to visit an old high school suitor–someone she once suspected too sinister to pursue. 

Turns out her initial suspicions about him were spot-on. She soon finds herself in the exact predicament she’d so long imagined. Only now she must outwit a vast wilderness … and sheer evil.

Marty Clawson’s got a big problem: 264 pounds’ worth. Doc warns of dire consequences if something doesn’t change, but Marty’s already tried every diet on the market plus an endless list of her own concoctions. Still, she devises a NEW PLAN–and unlike the others–this one is terrifying: a rendezvous with the state park, a place she considers the very heart of darkness (and snack-free) where she won’t emerge again until she is thin. Hubby Raymond believes the method too dangerous–abandoning his super-sized wife like a broken dresser–and refuses to help with her scheme; his crap attitude, along with everything else, changes when she catches him in bed with an aging porn star.  

Surviving the backwoods alone is challenging for a seasoned outdoorsman but unthinkable for a woman nearing red-alert obesity; yet, she believes it’s her last chance to avoid eating herself to death. Despite Ray’s newfound assistance, Marty fails at her plan. Desperate and depressed, she contacts Logan Myers, a peculiar boy from her past. Her hopelessness prompts her to accept his offer of bus fare north into the unforgiving Montana bush where he hunts and traps wild animals.

Logan soon reveals himself to be far worse than she remembered. So bad that he tosses her to the elements as punishment for rejecting him. In a wicked and ironic twist, her once farfetched idea morphs into an epic webof repetitious terrain and pure malevolence.  

Now she needs to make it back to the Greyhound station before nightfall, without getting mauled by a random grizzly or discovered by a roaming psychopath determined to hunt her down.

THE CHASE IS ON.

DESCRIPTION:

After living in San Francisco for fifteen years, journalist Gordon Young found himself yearning for his Rust Belt hometown: Flint, Michigan, the birthplace of General Motors and the “star” of the Michael Moore documentary Roger & Me. Hoping to rediscover and help a place that had once boasted one of the world’s highest per capita income levels but had become one of the country's most impoverished and dangerous cities, he returned to Flint with the intention of buying a house. What he found was a place of stark contrasts and dramatic stories, where an exotic dancer could afford a lavish mansion, speculators scooped up cheap houses by the dozen on eBay, and arson was often the quickest route to neighborhood beautification.

Skillfully blending personal memoir, historical inquiry, and interviews with Flint residents, Young constructs a vibrant tale of a once-thriving city still fighting–despite overwhelming odds–to rise from the ashes. He befriends a ragtag collection of urban homesteaders and die-hard locals who refuse to give up as they try to transform Flint into a smaller, greener town that offers lessons for cities all over the world. Hard-hitting, insightful, and often painfully funny, Teardown reminds us that cities are ultimately defined by people, not politics or economics.

Unfortunately, my reputation as a rich jerk precedes me and isn’t entirely off.

Thankfully, my sister is a successful public-relations consultant and has an idea, a way to soften my image a little.

Her best friend is the answer.

But the woman that shows up to help me with philanthropy looks nothing like the girl I remember.

She’s rocking her jeans and T-shirt in ways that leave me wanting far more than I should.

Pretty soon, the lines are blurred between me wanting to help my company and me wanting to help myself to another serving of her.

I’m all for looking like a good guy to help my profits soar, but I’ve got bad boy things on my mind.

This woman is stealing my attention. She’s looking real good.

God help us both.

DESCRIPTION:

KING TEEGAN IS LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD MICE…

While his subjects in The Far Collective love and admire the good King Teegan, only a trusted few are privy to the King’s greatest secret: that highly intelligent, talking mice exist…and 20 seasons ago, they saved the Kingdom of Feldenspar in its darkest hour! When the Mouselings first discovered the mysterious Decoding Stones, they learned the secret of communication between humans and animals, and formed a bond with the royal line of Teegan that has elevated both Mouselings and humans alike. That alliance proved pivotal when the nefarious Rat King, a dark sorcerer able to bend humans to his will, invaded the land of Feldenspar with his terrible, fell legions…yet, against all odds, was narrowly defeated through the heroism of two fabled Mouseling warriors whose names have since been lost to time and legend.

20 seasons later, on a quiet autumn day, the Mouseling Innkeeper Robert Teague, owner and proprietor of The Sleeping Cat Inn and Tavern nestled in the peaceful hamlet of Mouseling Hollow, has his life turned upside down when a strange hooded figure strolls into his tavern and hands him a mysterious summons—a summons which will thrust him involuntarily back into the crucible of combat he thought he’d sworn off forever…while forcing him to unravel a mystery which just may hold the key to the future of the entire Far Collective. With a new menace rising, threatening to taint and overrun The Western Lands, the hearts and paws of a few tiny Mouselings may be all that stand between the forces of darkness and the total subjugation of The Far Collective.

‘The finest piece of high fantasy writing I’ve ever had the privilege to edit.’

DESCRIPTION:

FOREWORD (excerpts)
Mr. Perreault developed his biomechanical model throughout his personal path and health training. His vision is insightful, outside of the box, and revolutionary, providing a simple approach which connects the dots of the pain mechanisms. His approach uses simple but logical analogies and images to explain pain to his patients, thereby empowering them to understand their problem in a new, innovative way. His work reaches far beyond conventional muscular and tendinous disorders, helping also with many chronic abdominal pains, recurrent lumbar pain, migraines, and many more discomforts. …
For athletes, Mr. PERREAULT’s bio-mechanical teachings can empower them to surpass their limits. For everyone, it is a road map to longstanding well-being and prevention.
I’m looking forward to attending his 2021 workshop.

YOUR HUMAN BODY MAINTENANCE GUIDE
Two 20-year-old cars. Same year, model, brand, options; built the same day, in the same factory. Car A is in mint condition. Car B is going to the wrecking yard. What made the difference in the destiny of these two cars? Which one got regular maintenance, diligent driving, and got its little noises fixed before they turned into trouble?
Do you do dental care? What for? To prevent your teeth from deterio rating, right? Consequence: your stomach is doing better, your pride as well. Teeth: 0.01% of your body mass. Muscles: 45%. Add bones and joints, here’s 70% of you. Did you know that when muscles are healthy, there is no reason for your bones and joints to hurt? When muscles are fine, everything else works better: digestion, kidneys, mindset, performance, relationships, intimacy, focus, etc. In pain? Your muscles are guilty. Any idea what goes wrong when in pain? Not your fault. Nobody instructed you on the simplest way to take care of your physical self.
The regular maintenance we perform on our teeth, our houses and our vehicles are anti-aging actions. What about the rest of the body? Most of the aging of the human vehicle could be easily prevented. Bad driving and no maintenance causes pain, aging, and even worse, potentially leads to other health problems.
Otherwise, did you know that your breathing mechanics affect your nervous system, which calibrates your hormones and immune system? Did you know that muscles have more power over blood flow than your heart? Breathing and blood are at the forefront of your health. Muscles activate both.
Do you live in a human body? Would you like to have a pain-free life, to age less quickly, and to enjoy your favorite sports and activities for decades to come, with a smile on your face? Read on.
Are you a therapist, a bodyworker, an athlete or a physician? Beware, this self maintenance and quick-relief perspective could transform your life; and/or your career!
Let Bio-Mechanical Muscular Hygiene and the ANTI PAIN K.I.S.S. METHOD be your anti-aging, anti-pain, and better-health formula.
Enjoy discovering your Human Body User’s Guide!

DESCRIPTION:

On seventeen occasions, Maggie O’Farrell has stared death in the face–and lived to tell the tale. In this astonishing memoir, she shares the near-death experiences that have punctuated and defined her life: The childhood illness that left her bedridden for a year, which she was not expected to survive. A teenage yearning to escape that nearly ended in disaster. An encounter with a disturbed man on a remote path. And, most terrifying of all, an ongoing, daily struggle to protect her daughter from a condition that leaves her unimaginably vulnerable to life’s myriad dangers. Here, O’Farrell stiches together these discrete encounters to tell the story of her entire life. In taut prose that vibrates with electricity and restrained emotion, she captures the perils running just beneath the surface, and illuminates the preciousness, beauty, and mysteries of life itself.

DESCRIPTION:

Matt Haig’s accessible and life-affirming memoir of his struggle with depression, and how his triumph over the illness taught him to live.

From the internationally bestselling author of How To Stop Time and Notes on a Nervous Planet.

"Destined to become a modern classic." —Entertainment Weekly

Like nearly one in five people, Matt Haig suffers from depression. Reasons to Stay Alive is Matt’s inspiring account of how, minute by minute and day by day, he overcame the disease with the help of reading, writing, and the love of his parents and his girlfriend (and now-wife), Andrea. And eventually, he learned to appreciate life all the more for it.

Everyone’s lives are touched by mental illness: if we do not suffer from it ourselves, then we have a friend or loved one who does. Matt’s frankness about his experiences is both inspiring to those who feel daunted by depression and illuminating to those who are mystified by it. Above all, his humor and encouragement never let us lose sight of hope. Speaking as his present self to his former self in the depths of depression, He is adamant that the oldest cliché is the truest–there is light at the end of the tunnel. He teaches us to celebrate the small joys and moments of peace that life brings, and reminds us that there are always reasons to stay alive.
