In TuneMusic as the Bridge to Mindfulness: How You Can Build a Lifelong Meditation Practice through Sound—and SilenceRICHARD WOLF

A practical guide to applying the skills of musical practice to meditation, for a more mindful approach to art—and life

Anyone who has ever taken a music lesson knows

the key to playing well is practice. The same is true

for another transformative discipline—meditation—

and yet, so often the two fail to harmonize. In Tune

helps sync these practices to achieve the kind of

mindfulness that opens our ears to the symphony

of sound and silence all around.

Award-winning music veteran Richard Wolf

offers twelve conceptual “bridges” between

music and meditation—including Dedication,

Concentration, Patience & Perseverance, and

Silence—plus a broad repertoire of music-based

meditation exercises to incorporate into daily

practice.

Colorful anecdotes of famous musicians, from

Miles Davis to Dr. Dre, further illustrate the power

of meditation to unleash creative potential. As a

result, practice—whether it’s listening to a favorite

song, preparing for a musical performance, or

settling into a meditation seat—becomes a joy

in and of itself, and its payoff of inner silence

becomes even more valuable in our increasingly

noisy world.

The Emotionally Absent MotherHow to Recognize and Heal the Invisible Effects of Childhood Emotional NeglectJASMIN LEE CORI

A guide to self-healing, offering clear advice for “undermothered” adults left feeling empty (and wondering why)

With this groundbreaking book, licensed

psychotherapist Jasmin Lee Cori has helped

thousands of adults identify and heal a wound

many didn’t have a name for. Adults who

others, they may have been hurtful or demeaning.

Full of compassion, this second edition addresses:

• Psychological disorders that may have affected

one’s mother: Why is she shut down? What can’t

she give her child?

• How grown children can approach their

mothers now.

A Field Guide to Clean Drinking WaterHow to Find, Assess, Treat, and Store ItJOE VOGEL

A potentially lifesaving guide on how to find and prepare safe drinking water in extreme situations, from backpacking treks to natural disasters

Humans can only survive three days without

water, and most of the world’s water is not safe

for drinking. This guide for understanding

methods to filter or distill water, with minimal

use of equipment, is for backpackers who

venture into territories with unstable water

access and for the many people who enjoy

learning outdoor survival skills.

Biologist, survival expert, and author Joe

Vogel’s scientifically backed, practical, and

easy-to-understand handbook offers lifesaving

advice on how to find, assess, treat, and store

safe drinking water in the most extreme places,

ranging from hurricane-ravaged cities to

remote deserts.

Small enough for hikers to take with them

on treks but broad enough to cover all relevant

options for finding and purifying water, Vogel’s

book is a vital manual for anyone hitting the trail

or unable to take clean water for granted.

Parents are the first to know when their child starts

behaving differently. Has your son stopped eating

his favorite food, or does he refuse to eat out with

friends? Has your daughter drastically increased

her exercise regimen, or become obsessed with

health foods? These are among the telltale signs

that your child may have an eating disorder.

In this guide, registered dietitians Casey Crosbie

you can use to help your child at home. The

Plate-by-Plate approach is rooted in family-based

nutritional needs, using just one tool—a 10-inch

(25-cm) plate. Among other things, you will learn:

• An intuitive, visual method to support your

child on the path of recovery;

Engineering EdenA Violent Death, a Federal Trial, and the Struggle to Restore Nature in Our National ParksJORDAN FISHER SMITH WITH A NEW OREWORD BY JACK E. DAVIS

Told through the prism of a tragic death in Yellowstone, an epic account of the century-long attempt to control the American wilderness

In 1972, 25-year-old Harry Walker was killed by a

bear in Yellowstone. The ensuing civil trial brought

to the fore longstanding, high-stakes debates

about wilderness management. In this remarkable

excavation of American environmental history,

acclaimed writer and former park ranger Jordan

Fisher Smith weaves the story of Walker’s tragic

death into the larger narrative of our attempts to

remake wilderness in the name of preservation.

Moving across decades and among Yellowstone,

Yosemite, Glacier, and Sequoia National Parks,

Engineering Eden shows how efforts to manage

wilderness are always undone by one fundamental

problem: The idea of what is “natural” dissolves as

soon as we begin to examine it.

Paint This Book! Watercolor for the Artistically Undiscovered THACHER HURD & JOHN CASSIDY

The first edition of Paint This Book! woke up the sleepy world of watercolor—and sold 600,000 copies! Now it’s back for a new generation.

Thacher Hurd and John Cassidy teach watercolor

painting like no one else. Landscapes can wait!

First, you’ll learn the feel of the brush, the flow of

the paint, and the freedom to express yourself:

• Splatter your paint at random, and then add

details to create funny creatures

• Try painting each letter in the alphabet with its

own personality

• Learn perspective by imagining a million soup

cans

• Go wild with painting prompts like “fried

eggs,” “sunset on Venus,” and “a knock-kneed

flutterby”!

Unlike any competing guide, Paint This Book!

includes six bold colors of paint and an artist-

quality brush. Plus, the, 48 exercise pages are

printed on sturdy watercolor paper. Just add water!

SeafurrersThe Ships’ Cats Who Lapped and Mapped the WorldPHILIPPA SANDALL ILLUSTRATED BY AD LONG

A cat’s–eye view of maritime history

We remember the bold seafarers of yore—from

Magellan to Shackleton—for their extraordinary

exploits: new lands discovered, storms weathered,

and battles won. But somehow history has

neglected the stalwart, hardworking species who

made it all possible . . . yes, the noble cat!

In Seafurrers, able sea cat Bart sets the record

straight at last. “Fear of water” aside, cats were

indispensable at sea—both as pest controllers and

as beloved mascots. Thirty-eight tales recount the

adventures of cats around the world, including:

• Trim (who circumnavigated Australia)

• Tom (the sole feline survivor of the sinking of

the USS Maine)

• Simon (a veteran of the Yangtze Incident)

Filled with nautical trivia, rare photographs,

and whimsical illustrations, this deft genealogy of

human-feline friendship will stir your regard for

the incomparable cat.

“At last! A history of cats of the sea. Long overdue, this book is as exquisite as a bowl of milk or a nice, plump ship’s mouse.” —Schooner the cat, as told to maritime archaeologist, author, and explorer JAMES DELGADO

An Illustrated Book of Bad Arguments

ALI ALMOSSAWI ILLUSTRATED BY ALEJANDRO GIRALDO

This charming guide to the lost art of logic is a must-have in this day and age—123,000 copies in print!

This one-of-a-kind introduction to logic

reveals the nonsensical arguments that crop up

everywhere from congressional debate to YouTube

commentary.

Drawing inspiration from such diverse sources as

Lewis Carroll and Carl Sagan, author Ali Almossawi

strikes the perfect balance between substance and

whimsy. It’s the antidote to fuzzy thinking—with

furry animals!

“Wonderfully digestible . . . I can’t think of a better way to be taught or reintroduced to these fundamental notions of logical discourse. A delightful little book.”

—AARON KOBLIN, creative director, Google’s Data Arts Team

“I love this illustrated book of bad arguments. A flawless compendium of flaws.”

—ALICE ROBERTS, PHD, anatomist, writer, and presenter of The Incredible Human Journey
