Book Description
"It's a funny old house. They have this ceremony every summer . . . There's an old chapel, in the grounds of the house. It's half-derelict. The Hunters keep bees in there. Every year, on the same day, the family processes to the chapel. They open the combs, taste the honey. Take it back to the house. Half for them -" my father winced, as though he had bitten down on a sore tooth. "And half for us." Catherine, a successful barrister, vanishes from a train station on the eve of her anniversary. Is it because she saw a figure - someone she believed long dead? Or was it a shadow cast by her troubled, fractured mind? The answer lies buried in the past. It lies in the events of the hot, seismic summer of 1989, at Vanes - a mysterious West Country manor house - where a young girl, Jane Lestrange, arrives to stay with the gilded, grand Hunter family, and where a devastating tragedy will unfold. Over the summer, as an ancient family ritual looms closer, Janey falls for each member of the family in turn. She and Kitty, the eldest daughter of the house, will forge a bond that decades later, is still shaping the present . . . 'We need the bees to survive, and they need us to survive. Once you understand that, you understand the history of Vanes, you understand our family.'

Book Description
With Sexy After Breast Cancer: A Guide to Making Lifestyle Changes for Healing, author and model Jocelyn Binder invites others to not only be a breast cancer survivor but to be a breast cancer thriver. The two-time breast cancer survivor invites readers to trace her journey from diagnosis to taking control of her health and to being completely cancer-free. The interactive journal coupled with the confessional-style writing Jocelyn presents was designed to make the reader feel like they have a friend and confidant in every step of their journey. Beginning with an introduction that chronicles her seven years of research, healing, and studying of both Western and Eastern medicines, Binder invites readers into practices that have worked for her. Throughout each chapter, Binder walks readers through every facet of her journey that allowed her to heal her mind and body. The book features chapters both on changing external factors and internal factors, with specific examples from Binder's own life that allowed her to see progress being made in her own recovery. Chapters focus on topics such as how to change your environment, set intentions, be your own advocate, choose your doctor carefully, choose your treatment carefully, learn how to say no for the betterment of your health, mind dietary factors that affect your health, and look for supplements that have helped Binder. One of the most important aspects of this book is managing stress in your life, something the exercises and writing specifically cater to. By being introspective and channeling your energy inward, Binder encourages people to make changes that feel right to them, not to blindly follow the advice of others. At the end of the day, Binder is a believer that everyone's journey is different, and only them can make the lifestyle changes necessary to heal. The encouragement to take control of your health is empowering to others and a key factor that allowed Binder to heal on her own terms, in a way that made all the difference in her prognosis. Perhaps the key element of this book is Binder's attention to how meditation and yoga have impacted her health and mental wellness as a whole. By taking the time to calm her inner chaos, it allowed her body the space to heal. Throughout Sexy After Breast Cancer, the author shows that beauty comes from the inside while also sharing some seriously helpful beauty tips to those who want to feel confident about their appearance when cancer tries to rob them of what physical things bring them peace. Writer Jocelyn Binder has one mission for this book--to inspire and empower women to take control of their health and their relationships not only their cancer but to themselves. As Binder states, "If only one woman heals after applying my book's concepts to make changes in her life, it will be a huge success to me."

Book Description
Kirkus' Best Fiction of 2017 From New York Times bestselling author Cory Doctorow, an epic tale of revolution, love, post-scarcity, and the end of death. "Walkaway is now the best contemporary example I know of, its utopia glimpsed after fascinatingly-extrapolated revolutionary struggle." —William Gibson Hubert Vernon Rudolph Clayton Irving Wilson Alva Anton Jeff Harley Timothy Curtis Cleveland Cecil Ollie Edmund Eli Wiley Marvin Ellis Espinoza—known to his friends as Hubert, Etc—was too old to be at that Communist party. But after watching the breakdown of modern society, he really has no where left to be—except amongst the dregs of disaffected youth who party all night and heap scorn on the sheep they see on the morning commute. After falling in with Natalie, an ultra-rich heiress trying to escape the clutches of her repressive father, the two decide to give up fully on formal society—and walk away. After all, now that anyone can design and print the basic necessities of life—food, clothing, shelter—from a computer, there seems to be little reason to toil within the system. It’s still a dangerous world out there, the empty lands wrecked by climate change, dead cities hollowed out by industrial flight, shadows hiding predators animal and human alike. Still, when the initial pioneer walkaways flourish, more people join them. Then the walkaways discover the one thing the ultra-rich have never been able to buy: how to beat death. Now it’s war – a war that will turn the world upside down. Fascinating, moving, and darkly humorous, Walkaway is a multi-generation SF thriller about the wrenching changes of the next hundred years...and the very human people who will live their consequences.

Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A fascinating look at how consumers perceive logos, ads, commercials, brands, and products.”—Time How much do we know about why we buy? What truly influences our decisions in today’s message-cluttered world? In Buyology, Martin Lindstrom presents the astonishing findings from his groundbreaking three-year, seven-million-dollar neuromarketing study—a cutting-edge experiment that peered inside the brains of 2,000 volunteers from all around the world as they encountered various ads, logos, commercials, brands, and products. His startling results shatter much of what we have long believed about what captures our interest—and drives us to buy. Among the questions he explores: • Does sex actually sell? • Does subliminal advertising still surround us? • Can “cool” brands trigger our mating instincts? • Can our other senses—smell, touch, and sound—be aroused when we see a product? Buyology is a fascinating and shocking journey into the mind of today's consumer that will captivate anyone who's been seduced—or turned off—by marketers' relentless attempts to win our loyalty, our money, and our minds.
