“You remember Eat, Pray, Love and Under the Tuscan Sun? Yeah, this really isn’t like those. It’s better” (San Francisco Chronicle). Most people want out of North Korea. Wendy Simmons wanted in. In My Holiday in North Korea: The Funniest/Worst Place on Earth, Wendy shares a glimpse of North Korea as it’s never been seen before. Even though it’s the scariest place on Earth, somehow Wendy forgot to check her sense of humor at the border. But Wendy’s initial amusement and bewilderment soon turned to frustration and growing paranoia. Before long, she learned the essential conundrum of “tourism” in North Korea: Travel is truly a love affair. But, just like love, it’s a two-way street. And North Korea deprives you of all this. They want you to fall in love with the singular vision of the country they’re willing to show you and nothing more. Through poignant, laugh-out-loud essays and ninety-two never-before-published color photographs of North Korea, Wendy chronicles one of the strangest vacations ever. Along the way, she bares all while undergoing an inner journey as convoluted as the country itself. “Much of the humor and poignancy comes from the absurdity of a fun-loving free spirit taking a vacation that’s more rigidly scripted and controlled than a presidential motorcade . . . Simmons’ photos—including an eerie image of a classroom full of schoolgirls playing accordions—further illustrate the bizarre nature of a country that, whether for good or bad, has been carefully controlled for generations.” —San Francisco Chronicle “An irresistible read . . . A rare and fascinating look at the tourist’s North Korea in a work that is humorous, appalling, and very sad. A highly recommended and revealing glimpse into a secretive land.” —Library Journal

The Power to Navigate Life is your opportunity to experience a fulfilling life by developing sound health and emotional well-being from the very first page. You will see there is more to life than paying bills, being unhappy, always sick, or being in a relationship that does not serve you. The Power to Navigate Life is arguably the most complete and powerful teachings on the mastering of life. The book is based on the successful personal development and self-transformation program which is like no other, with three key principles: 1. Health & Well-being 2. Personal Growth 3. Self-Awareness. The book includes working diagrams in colour (Map of Life), offering a strategic blueprint that will support you in your quest for a better life. The questionnaire at the back of the book will help you identify issues within your life; issues that you probably were not aware you had. Are you tired of being disconnected from your mind and body? Do you wish you could enjoy better health? Mentally, emotionally, and physically? Do you wish you could better understand the reason for your health issues? The number one problem affecting people nowadays is a preoccupation with their thoughts, which causes mental, emotional, and physical problems. My book will help you: * Better understand the function between your mind and body to achieve mental, emotional and physical wellbeing. * Empower you to realise your strengths, talents and genius. * Draw awareness to your personal power, which lives in us all. * Identify and detach from self-imposed limitations; the inner critic and self-defeating behaviours holding you back from living well. * Draw awareness on the power of infinite possibilities and how to reveal your highest potential. * Realise there are no mistakes in life; simply the exchange of energy from one form to another. * Identify areas of your life that are disempowering, so you can take decisive action to move forward. My name is Tony Fahkry. I am a three-time published author, expert speaker and life coach with over 15 years of experience. I believe everyone has great potential within them. It is a matter of awakening it to become the best version of yourself.

In 1850 the Detroit River was a major track along the Underground Railroad -- the last step to freedom. The journey across the river was dangerous, especially in winter and especially for a 12-year-old boy. When Louis's father left him in charge of the farm he offered his son this advice, "If you don't know what to do, just do what you think I would have done." Louis relies upon his father's words of wisdom when a runaway slave and her two children come looking for safe passage. In the second title in our Tales of Young Americans series Gloria Whelan -- author of National Book Award winning Homeless Bird -- beautifully creates a suspenseful coming-of-age story while illuminating a difficult time in America's past. Ms. Whelan's narrative again shows the human spirit will forever shine brightly in dark times. Freedom River - part of our Young Americans series - will quickly become a favorite for its important message and look at history from a youngster's eye. Artist Gijsbert van Frankenhuyzen - a Sleeping Bear Press favorite - treats the material as only he can. Each illustrated page demonstrates the same mastery and devotion to his craft as the young heroes he brings to life.

B.K.S. Iyengar--hailed as "the Michelangelo of yoga" (BBC) and considered by many to be one of the most important yoga masters--has spent much of his life introducing the modern world to the ancient practice of yoga. Yoga's popularity is soaring, but its widespread acceptance as an exercise for physical fitness and the recognition of its health benefits have not been matched by an understanding of the emotional, intellectual, and spiritual development that the yogic tradition can also offer. In Light on Life, B.K.S. Iyengar brings readers this new and more complete understanding of the yogic journey. Here Iyengar explores the yogic goal to integrate the different parts of the self (body, emotions, mind, and soul), the role that the yoga postures and breathing techniques play in our search for wholeness, the external and internal obstacles that keep us from progressing along the path, and how yoga can transform our lives and help us to live in harmony with the world around us. For the first time, Iyengar uses stories from his own life, humor, and examples from modern culture to illustrate the profound gifts that yoga offers. Written with the depth of this sage's great wisdom, Light on Life is the culmination of a master's spiritual genius, a treasured companion to his seminal Light on Yoga.
