Meadow Manor is a beautiful and evocative book on Rachel Ashwell's new English country home in Somerset, for followers of Shabby Chic and those who aspire to live the country dream.

Rachel's intentions were to decorate her home Meadow Manor sympathetically to the historical values and authentic details of the 17th-century farmhouse and treat its venerable old bones with respect. Much of her furniture transitioned seamlessly from California and Texas to Somerset--much-loved treasures found their place, miraculously and magically. The book explores every room of the house, beginning with the large country kitchen, the cosy sitting rooms and Rachel's studio. These are followed by four bedrooms, Rachel's bedroom, boudoir and bathroom, a laundry room and, up in the attic, a dedicated home for her treasured collection of linens and vintage textiles. All have been sensitively renovated, with many a story behind the decorative decision-making process. Rachel's home also includes a beautiful garden, a cluster of barns and a guest cottage for family and friends to immerse themselves into her whimsical world. Meadow Manor is a true labour of love, which will inspire readers who dream of creating their own country retreat.

The world needs more you in it. Because you have something unique that only you can give, a difference that only you can make.

Featuring a brandnew look, this popular book is a thoughtprovoking invitation to discover your gift, to honor and celebrate it, and to lead a life of passion and purpose. Offering a mix of powerful examples from past and present leaders as well as inspiring prompts and reflective spaces, it's a meaningful gift for volunteers, coworkers, clients, or friends to remind them they are meant to do incredible things. Features a debossed hardcover.

Lo hemos pasado en grande siendo Swifties, y ahora, esa historia --llena de felicidad, amistad, conexión, payasadas y canciones cantadas a pleno pulmón --está documentada en este tributo a la comunidad de fans y la razón por la que estamos todos aquí, Taylor Swift.

Todos sabemos cómo empezó una adolescente de Pensilvania que se mudó a Nashville y pronto ascendió hasta la cima de las listas de música country. Aquí es donde comenzó la historia de Taylor Swift en 2006, pero también es donde empezó nuestra historia como Swifties.

Nuestra historia es un emotivo viaje a través de la historia Swiftie, que muestra la evolución de una comunidad de fans que ha sobrevivido al paso del tiempo. Narrado a través de la lente de las experiencias personales, este libro es una crónica del auge de una comunidad que se ha mantenido ferozmente leal en cada etapa. Desde llamar a las emisoras de radio para pedir Tim McGraw, hasta momentos inolvidables en Tumblr en los que Taylor y los fans parecían un grupo de amigos y sobrevivir a una guerra con Ticketmaster --hemos estado ahí. Hemos aprendido lecciones vitales, intercambiado pulseras de la amistad, dominado las matemáticas de los husos horarios para conectarnos a directos, y creado un lenguaje que tan solo otro Swiftie --o la propia Taylor-- puede entender. Pero más allá de todos estos momentos compartidos, lo que verdaderamente nos une es el hecho de que las letras de Taylor parecen haber sido escritas solo para nosotros, como reflejos de nuestras propias historias.

Esta comunidad de fans, apasionada y única, ha ganado premios y se ha estudiado a fondo, pero, por primera vez, los fans pueden rememorar y celebrar lo que significa ser parte de esta comunidad que te cambia la vida. Una carta de amor escrita por una Swiftie para Swifties, Nuestra historia es una promesa de que nuestra historia jamás será olvidada.

What do I say to someone who is grieving?

When someone we love is grieving, we want to help, but we often don't know what to say. "I'm sorry" feels empty. "Let me know if there's anything I can do" puts pressure on them to ask. "Time heals all" only makes things worse. But what if, instead of avoiding the conversation or saying something unintentionally hurtful, you had three simple phrases that reliably offer comfort?

Of Course I'm Here Right Now is your guidebook to supporting a grieving friend, family member, client, or anyone who's grieving, and doing so with confidence and compassion. Here, experienced grief coach Shelby Forsythia introduces three essential phrases that, when used appropriately, can provide immediate relief and long-term reassurance.

Through real-life examples, practical scripts, and a sensitive, compassion-first approach, this book equips you to say something truly meaningful even when words feel inadequate, to show up for the grieving person in a way that strengthens your relationship, and to stop second-guessing yourself as you offer comfort that resonates.

Whether you're consoling someone after a death, divorce, diagnosis, or another loss, Of Course I'm Here Right Now ensures you'll never be at a loss for words again.

In this groundbreaking manual for longevity, leading longevity expert Jean-Marc Lemaitre reveals how the latest science can help you measure, slow, and even reverse biological aging at a cellular level.

For generations, we've accepted aging as an inevitable decline, measuring our years by birthdays while ignoring the more crucial metric--our biological age. Traditional medicine continues to treat the symptoms of age-related diseases rather than addressing their root cause: cellular aging itself. Too often, healthcare systems intervene only after disease has taken hold, managing decline rather than preventing it.

In Choose Your Age, Jean-Marc Lemaitre--a renowned biogerontologist (a scientist of biological aging and age-related diseases)--presents a revolutionary alternative: a personalized, proactive approach to longevity that targets the fundamental mechanisms of aging before disease begins.

This is not speculation or trendy "biohacking"--it's cutting-edge science: a comprehensive, evidence-based strategy for extending not just lifespan but healthspan, the years you spend free from disease and decline. Lemaitre's approach isn't prescriptive but educational, empowering you to understand the science of aging so you can make informed decisions about your health journey. In Choose Your Age, readers will discover:

• Why your chronological age is often misleading, and how new biological clocks can measure your true physiological age--revealing whether you're aging faster or slower than your peers.
• How telomeres, the protective caps on your chromosomes, influence aging, and what practical steps can help maintain their length and integrity.
• The revolutionary science of epigenetic reprogramming that could transform medicine's approach to aging by actually reversing cellular age.
• Why the Mediterranean diet and specific fasting protocols can dramatically impact longevity, and how to adapt these approaches to your unique biochemistry.
• How the lifestyles of centenarians in the world's "Blue Zones" offer practical insights for extending your own healthspan.
• The emerging potential of senolytic therapies, metformin, and rapamycin in targeting senescent "zombie cells" that accelerate aging.
• Why social connections, optimism, and time in nature are as crucial to longevity as any medical intervention--and how to incorporate them into your life.

Choose Your Age provides a new paradigm for thinking about aging, transforming it from an inevitable decline into a manageable process that you can influence at every stage of life. With this roadmap in hand, you can chart a different course for your future--one where each decade brings not just more years, but better ones.

Work isn't broken. It's just waiting to be better designed.

Unlock the hidden patterns that shape how work really works with this groundbreaking framework for designing it to be more adaptive, intelligent, and human.

What if the key to how we structure, organize, and lead work is already at our fingertips? Beneath the surface of our organizations lie hidden patterns: structures, rituals, and decisions that shape how work flows, who holds power, and what ultimately gets done.

Drawing on insights from cutting-edge organizations, behavioral science, and real-world experimentation, Hidden Patterns uncovers the invisible systems that drive success and failure in modern workplaces. Whether you're leading a team, redesigning an organization, or simply looking to work smarter, you'll find the tools to navigate complexity and make meaningful change.

Inside, you'll discover:

• Why org charts tell us almost nothing about how work actually happens, and how to map the real structure of influence, information flow, and decision-making
• How to replace rigid hierarchies with dynamic networks of teams without creating chaos, confusion, or shadow power structures
• Why most "accountability" systems backfire, and what to build instead to create ownership without surveillance
• The hidden role of space, movement, and physical environments in shaping collaboration, focus, and even risk-taking
• Why organizations that truly innovate don't just tolerate failure, they design for it in ways most companies get completely wrong
• How to dismantle the performative, time-wasting rituals of work while keeping (and amplifying) the ones that actually create value

Packed with compelling case studies and actionable insights, Hidden Patterns is an essential guide for anyone seeking to rethink the way work happens.

A washed-up rockstar gets his old band back together for one final gig . . . and one daring robbery! A brilliantly funny, twisty heist caper from Pushcart Prize-winning author Michael Kardos.

Mo Melnick used to be a drummer in rock band Sunshine Apocalypse. He used to be someone. These days he rents beach umbrellas on the Jersey Shore.

The last thing he expects is for Johnny Clay, his old bandmate turned enemy, to ask him a favor. Johnny's dying, and before he passes he wants Sunshine Apocalypse to reunite for one last gig at Fun City, the beachfront amusement park where their musical journey began.

Mo's in--reluctantly. But then Johnny reveals his real plan: He doesn't just want to play at Fun City on the fourth of July. He wants to rob it.

The plan is crazy. It has more holes than a golf course. But Mo's sick of barely keeping his head above water, so he and his gang of middle-aged has-beens dive into what will be the most outrageous heist New Jersey's ever seen--if, that is, they can pull it off alive . . .

Packed with twists and turns, Michael Kardos' unique comedic thriller is perfect for fans of Elmore Leonard & Donald Westlake.

A disgraced war hero is transformed into the Wolf God, protector of the Forest God, and must earn her trust in this healing dark fantasy for fans of The Wolf and the Woodsman and Princess Mononoke

War hero Basuin doesn't know what to believe in anymore. All Basuin knows is life as an army captain and the pain, loss, and disgrace it has brought him. Demoted and humiliated by his legion commander, he is led into the forest for one more mission: capture a god.

But when his commander uses innocent wolf pups as bait, Basuin dies saving them. The Wolf God, impressed by his sacrifice, deifies Basuin to protect the forest and its beautiful, sharp-tongued god from the legion's deforestation.

To the Forest God, Basuin is nothing more than one of the men sent to burn her forest down. Betrayed by humans too many times, she rejects him, working alone to protect the spirits of the forest as her home disappears around her. To save the god he is growing to love, Basuin must untangle the feelings between them.

Otherwise, they'll burn together.

Pragmatic principles for success and strategies to help you overcome your biggest obstacle--you--by surrounding yourself with the right people, ideas, and environments

As Chairman of the Napoleon Hill Institute and former CEO of Leigh Steinberg Sports & Entertainment (the inspiration for Jerry Maguire), where his first major task was to bring home negotiations for returning the NFL's Rams to Los Angeles from St. Louis, David Meltzer followed his boss's instructions: "Don't negotiate to the last penny. Always be fair. Don't do business with dicks."

Since then, David's taken this advice on as his mantra, not just for negotiating high-stakes deals but for navigating life. In Don't Do Business with Dicks, Meltzer distills his wisdom into actionable strategies for cultivating meaningful relationships, aligning yourself with positive influences, and holding fast to your integrity.

Packed with anecdotes and practical advice, you'll discover how to fill your life with all the right stuff and leave behind the negativity and pettiness that stunt growth. Adopt a guiding philosophy that empowers you to:

Don't Do Business with Dicks is a call to eliminate toxicity and create your own "gold standard" for success, one built on kindness and integrity. Instead of just focusing on getting what you want, ask yourself--what's standing in your way?

A popular Buddhist teacher guides you through strategies to build and maintain a rock-solid daily meditation practice--from setting reminders to dealing with setbacks to introducing the philosophical concepts underpinning Buddhist meditation--and everything in between.

It's widely known that there are many benefits to meditation, particularly if undertaken regularly, but making it a daily habit can be a challenge for many people. Why? Because it takes more than willpower.

Here, longtime meditation teacher and Buddhist blogger Bodhipaksa presents a collection of strategies and tools to help build a rock-solid daily meditation practice into your life. The book is divided into twenty-eight chapters, one for each day.

Each chapter starts with a Practice Reminder, just a few words reminding readers of the importance of practicing meditation rather than merely reading about it. There's also a link to a web page of guided meditations.

Following that is a Today section, a brief summary of the day's reading.

Then there's a Strategies section, which offers suggestions to help readers build the habit of meditating daily. Strategies can be as simple as setting reminders or using a meditation timer, or more involved tools such as changing any belief that you lack what it takes to meditate daily.

That's followed by a Going Deeper section, with a deeper exploration of some of the Buddhist teachings underpinning our practice, often referring to the suttas, or scriptures, of early Buddhism.

Next is a Reflection section, which encourages readers to keep a journal to make the content of the Going Deeper section more experiential.

Each chapter ends with a Last Words section, quickly summarizing the Going Deeper section.
