Lion’s Share Farro Salad PREP TIME: 15 MINUTES | COOK TIME: 30 MINUTES | YIELD: 4 SERVINGS

Instead of attending the presentation of his nephew Simba at Pride Rock, jealous Scar sulks in his cave. Mufasa confronts his wayward brother, and the two lions nearly get into a fight. “Temper temper. I wouldn’t dream of challenging you,” Scar says. “As far as brains go, I got the lion’s share, but when it comes to brute strength, I’m afraid I’m at the shallow end of the gene pool.” 3 pounds assorted root vegetables, such as sweet potatoes, parsnips, onions, beets, and/or carrots 1⁄2 cup olive oil, divided 1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper, plus more to taste 2 cups cooked farro, prepared according to package directions 6 tablespoons red wine vinegar 2 cups baby arugula

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Wash and, if needed, peel the vegetables. Chop into bite-sized pieces, with attention toward keeping the pieces similar size for even cooking. Toss with 1⁄4 cup olive oil, and the salt and pepper. Spread in an even layer on a large baking sheet, and bake until crisp-tender, about 30 minutes, tossing once halfway through. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. In a medium bowl, toss the farro, remaining olive oil, vinegar, and more salt and pepper to taste. Mix in the arugula just before serving, and top with roasted vegetables. Serve warm or cold. HEALTHY TIP: This Lion’s Share Farro Salad is a smart choice in more ways than one: It’s easy to make, and has loads of flavor—but it’s also a protein-rich vegetarian side that could easily work as a main course for Meatless Monday. Use a variety of root vegetables, and don’t be afraid to leave the peels on (the edible peels, that is) or to include a few veggies that you don’t normally like. You might be surprised at how well everything comes together in this dish.

WILD BERRY BREAD

SKILL LEVEL: PREP TIME:

Artisan

15 minutes

INACTIVE TIME:

Nazjatar— Nazjatar—Hereʼs a charming recipe I picked up from a Tortollan collector over in Nazjatar. As you probably know, not much grows there naturally, so the wild berries are imported in. Still, they make for a really pretty bread with a subtle berry flavor.

For the bread: 1 cup warm whole milk 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 teaspoon instant dry yeast ½ teaspoon salt 2 cups all-purpose flour

BAKING TIME: YIELD:

2 hours

35 minutes

1 loaf

PAIRS WELL WITH:

herbal tea, wildflower honey

To make the bread: 1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk, butter, sugar, and yeast. Add the salt, and then gradually work in the flour until you have a nice soft dough that pulls away from the sides of the bowl. 2. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for several minutes, until it bounces back when poked. Place in a lightly buttered bowl, cover loosely with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen cloth, and set in a warm place to rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size. 3. Butter a standard loaf pan on all sides, and set aside.

For the berry layer: ½ cup red berry jam, warmed

4. Once the dough is ready, use a rolling pin to roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a rectangle roughly 18 inches by 10 inches.

¼ teaspoon ground ginger

To make the berry layer

¾ cup all-purpose flour

5. Mix together all the ingredients for the berry layer in a small bowl, and then spread over two-thirds of the dough. Fold the uncoated third of the dough over the berry spread, and then fold the other end of the dough over that to make a dough stack with three layers. 6. Roll out the dough into a rectangle again, and fold into thirds once more. Roll out the dough one final time, so the rectangle matches the width of the long end of your bread loaf pan. Then, using your hands and starting from the long end, roll the dough into a log. Place the dough seam-side down in your prepared loaf pan, cover again, and let rise for another hour. 7. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake for around 35 minutes, until the top of the loaf is light brown. Let cool for a few minutes in the loaf pan, and then turn out to finish cooling. Consider serving sliced, toasted, and spread with butter. 171

CHEWY FEL TAFFY

SKILL LEVEL: PREP TIME:

Artisan

20 minutes

BLADESPIRE BAGELS

COOKING TIME:

Tirisfal Glades—For Glades— a wicked good treat, look no further than this seasonal delight from Tirisfal Glades. A strange fellow on a big horse dropped a few pieces of this chewy candy, and I used them to figure out this recipe. The taffyʼs bright green hue is reminiscent of the green glow emanating from the fellowʼs head. At least, I think that was his head. I didnʼt approach him to find out for sure.

15 minutes

YIELD: several dozen pieces PAIRS WELL WITH:

coffee

2 tablespoons salted butter, plus more for hands and tools

1. Lightly butter a silicone pad or a baking sheet, and

⅔ cup water

2. Attach a candy thermometer to a medium saucepan, and

1 cup granulated sugar ½ cup honey 1 tablespoon cornstarch Dash of anise flavoring Green gel food coloring

set aside.

then combine the water, sugar, honey, and cornstarch in the saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir the mixture occasionally until the sugar has dissolved. Increase the heat until the taffy reaches 255°F, and then immediately remove the pot from the heat and stir in the butter, anise flavoring, and green food coloring. Pour onto the prepared silicone pad or baking sheet, and allow to cool until itʼs warm but able to be handled. Donʼt let the taffy cool completely or it will be too difficult to work with.

3. To shape the taffy, gently pull it between your hands, twisting occasionally and doubling back on itself. The taffy should gradually lighten in color over the course of several minutes, until it grows stiffer and harder to handle. At this point, lightly butter a pair of kitchen scissors or a sharp knife, and cut into bite-size pieces. You can wrap these in squares of parchment paper and twist the ends to seal, store, and share.

Bladespire—Before setting out to collect these recipes, I was surprised Bladespire— to find something this delicious among the Bladespire ogres. It just goes to show that delicious food can be found in all sorts of unlikely places. These bagels, enriched with an egg and topped with a mess of savory flavorings, are a robust start to any day.

1 cup cool water 1 tablespoon plus ¼ cup molasses, for boiling

PREP TIME:

20 minutes

INACTIVE TIME:

1½ hours

BAKING TIME:

20 minutes

YIELD: 8 bagels, enough topping for several batches

cream cheese, salted butter, smoked fish PAIRS WELL WITH:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the water, 1 tablespoon molasses, and yeast. Stir in the salt, egg yolk, and then gradually mix in the flour one cup at a time, until you have a nice stiff dough that pulls away from the side of the bowl. Reserve the egg

2 teaspoons instant yeast 2 teaspoons salt 1 large egg, separated into yolk and white 3 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon vegetable oil ½ cup cornmeal, for dusting 2 quarts water, for boiling 1 tablespoon Hot Spices, for topping (page 16)

white for later. 2. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for several minutes, until it bounces back when poked. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic or a damp kitchen towel, and set somewhere warm to rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size. 3. Set out a baking sheet lightly dusted with cornmeal. 4. When you are ready to shape the bagels, divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Working with one piece of dough at a time, roll into a smooth ball between your hands, and then poke a hole in the middle. Gently stretch the dough to make the hole bigger, and then set aside. Repeat with the remaining dough, and then let the bagels rise for about 20 minutes, until they are starting to look puffed. 5. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425°F, and bring a pot of water to a boil and stir in the remaining ¼ cup molasses. Working one or two bagels at a time, gently drop the dough into the boiling water. Boil for about 1 minute on each side, and then remove and place on the baking sheet dusted with cornmeal. Once all the bagels have been boiled, quickly brush with the reserved egg white, sprinkle with the Hot Spices, and place in the oven. Bake for around 20 minutes, until golden brown and puffy.

#EATMEATLESS

Good for Animals, the Earth & All Foreword Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE

INTRODUCING NEWSEED PRESS, OUR NEW IMPRINT WITH THE FOCAL MISSION TO ADVANCE GLOBAL ADOPTION OF VEGAN, VEGETARIAN, AND PLANT-BASED LIFESTYLES

Planet-friendly recipes inspired by noted preservationist Jane Goodall provide readers with an individualistic call to action to improve human and environmental health.

For the health of humankind, the environment, and the animals that inhabit it, the Jane Goodall Institute presents a collection of recipes to illustrate the how and why of vegan eating. Crafted for curious consumers looking to incorporate healthier dietary practices, those interested in environmental sustainability, and for fans of Jane Goodall’s work, this collection of 80 recipes gives home cooks the tools they need to take charge of their diet and take advantage of their own community’s local, seasonal bounty. Along with colorful food photography, quotes from Jane Goodall interspersed throughout transform this vegan staple into an inspiring guide to reclaiming our broken food system for the environment, for the animals, and for ourselves. Whether you’re interested in reducing your family’s reliance on meat or in transitioning to a wholly vegetarian or vegan diet, this book has the information and inspiration you need to make meaningful mealtime choices. Jane Goodall, a longtime vegetarian and a passionate advocate for animals, invites us to commit to a simple promise with her campaign #EatMeatLess.

$35.00 US / $47.00 CAN Hardcover, 7.5 x 8.75 168 pages 40,000 words ISBN: 978-1-68188-537-7 MARCH 2021

• N E W S EED P R E S S •

SELLING POINTS BURGEONING INTEREST: This climate-conscious, animal-friendly, nutritious diet choice is undoubtedly going mainstream. Over six million U.S. adults currently identify as vegetarian. The percentage of U.S. adults identifying as vegan rose 600% between 2014 and 2017 and will surpass four million by 2021. According to the Economist, a full quarter of 25to 34-year-old Americans say they are either vegan or vegetarian. Americans spent $3 billion on plant-based foods last year. These numbers are only going to continue to increase as climate change continues to grow as a threat. PROVEN MARKET: Sales of plant-based and vegan world media echo the rising popularity of the diets they explore. Books such as Thug Kitchen (RTD 989K) Fork Over Knives (RTD 800K), and Oh She Glows (RTD 281K) and the massive popularity of the James Cameron–produced documentary Game Changers show a groundswell in interest about the environmental and nutritional benefits of plant-based diets.

JAMES CAMERON FINAL COVER TO BE REVEALED

James Cameron has blazed a trail through the cinematic landscape with a series of groundbreaking films that have each become deeply embedded in the popular imagination. But while Cameron has created and employed advanced filmmaking technologies to realize his unique vision, his process of creative ideation began with pen, pencil and paints long before he picked up a camera. Inspired by his mother, an artist, Cameron displayed remarkable ability at an early age, filling sketchbooks with illustrations of alien creatures, faraway worlds, and technological wonders. As he grew older, his art became increasingly sophisticated, exploring major themes that would imbue his later work—from the threat of nuclear catastrophe to the dangers inherent in the development of artificial intelligence, to a fascination with ecology that would foreshadow his storied career in science and exploration. Working in the film industry in his early twenties, Cameron supported himself by illustrating theatrical posters and concept art for low-budget films before creating the visionary concept pieces that would help greenlight his first major feature, The Terminator. For the first time, Tech Noir brings together a dazzling and diverse array of personal and commercial art from Cameron’s own collection, from his earliest sketches through to unrealized projects and work created for modern classics, including Aliens and Avatar. Curated by Cameron, the book also features the filmmaker’s personal commentary on key pieces, charting his creative and artistic evolution throughout the years. A unique journey into the mind of a singular creative powerhouse, Tech Noir is a true publishing event and the ultimate exploration of one of cinema’s most imaginative innovators. 88

Hogwarts Houses on their first night at school. The original plan for creating the Sorting Hat on-screen was a puppet placed on top of the actor’s heads, but after testing the puppet in scenes, it was decided that digital animation would be a better solution for bringing the hat to life. The on-screen hat ultimately resulted from a combination of the leather rendition designed by Judianna Makovsky and digital enhancement. When asked, “Where does it talk?” by visual effects supervisor Robert Legato, Director Chris Columbus looked at Legato and said, “She made the hat. You make it talk.”

THE ART OF

GRAHAM

NASH “David Crosby had an enormous inf luence on my life. It was he that tried, successfully, to bolster my confidence when the Hollies were not quite so pleased with me. I consider him to be far ahead of most other musicians in the way he constructs tunings, chords and melodies. The shot with the `exit-sign’ in it was taken when I realized that he was considering throwing himself out of that window in the Chelsea Hotel in NYC. Christine had just been killed and David and I went on our ` blue’ period. I felt that I had to be with him daily to

THE ART OF THE NATIONAL PARKS By Fifty-Nine Parks

Explore the majesty of the national parks through the eyes of contemporary artists.

THE ART OF THE GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK “The Smoky Mountains are a rare jewel…Why not have a place where you can still see the stars? There is value to keeping things primitive.”

— James Dawson

Human beings have long imagined other worlds that exist just above the clouds and you need only visit Great Smoky National Park to understand why. Here you can stand atop the nearly 1,500 foot high trail dubbed The Chimney Tops and take in the expanse of mossy green hilltops. At night, a hazy fog appears and hangs softly in the trees which makes each moment spent exploring feel mystical and exciting. In the morning, Smoky’s signature fog can somehow mute each eyeful of color, making the landscape look like a vintage polaroid – quick changes abound in Great Smoky National Park. Trout, shiners, suckers, and bass populate the naturally occurring streams and over 100 waterfalls parkwide. Perhaps the most wellknown waterfall, Laurel Falls, hosts an endless rush of water that trickles in the brooks and streams swirling through the hollows and hills of this living, breathing marvel of nature. There are new worlds here. They’re yours to discover underneath every waterfall and beyond the fog.

• In 2019, Great Smoky saw 12.5 Million Visitors, making it the most visited national park in the United States of America. • Great Smoky is a geological marvel with its diverse population of sedimentary rocks formed by the accumulation of silt, sand, and gravel over millions of years. • There are 140 different types of trees throughout Great Smoky. Some of the most common include: Red Maple, Yellow Birch, Yellow Buckeye, and White Oak. • Great Smoky is known for its amenable climate. At high elevation in the Smoky Mountains, the temperature rarely climbs above 80 degrees. • The Smoky Mountains are estimated to be between 200 and 300 Million years old, making them among the country’s oldest mountain ranges.

HOPE IN HELL

You, the Climate Crisis, and How We Can Save the Earth Author Sir Jonathon Porritt

A book for facing head-on–and averting–the oncoming global climate change disaster by inspiring people to move beyond general concern or passive support and become active protagonists for change.

Climate change is our era’s defining issue. We know, beyond reasonable doubt, that climate change is accelerating. To face a challenge greater than humanity has ever seen before, we must also accelerate ourselves, by summoning a sense of urgency, courage, and shared effort to match it. Jonathan Porritt’s Hope in Hell is meant to do just that. Ultimately optimistic despite the dire challenge presented to the world, Porritt explores current science and new technologies, mobilization of younger people and political action, and encouraging intergenerational solidarity as older generations learn their own responsibilities for creating a better world for their successors.

HEALING TREES

A POCKET GUIDE TO FOREST BATHING

A Zen approach to forest bathing, as opposed to the usual biomedical approach. Whereas doctors are now prescribing forest bathing to lower cholesterol, heart rate, etc., this book intends to be a spiritual guide, asking the reader to check on their health mentally and emotionally. Chapter 4

H O W D O E S FO R E S T B AT H I N G W O R K?

Embodiment

ben page

Forest Bathing begins by shifting our conscious attention away from the thinking mind and towards the sensing body. If we focus all of our attention on the senses, we will experience what is known as embodiment. Embodiment means that we are primarily perceiving of ourselves and the world with our animate, living bodies, and not abstractly through our analytical, discursive minds. When we practice embodiment, we begin to perceive the world and ourselves differently; instead of a static series of objects, we encounter a world that is boundlessly connected through a network of constant communication and interbeing. 85

This book is intended as an easy approach to forest bathing, a concept that is now making its way into health and wellness practices. Part spiritual guide and part practitioner’s handbook, this accessible, practical, positivity-rich book is designed to be taken on every walk to encourage mindfulness, contentedness, and presence in the moment. Written in a beautiful, encouraging style by a highly qualified and mediagenic author, the book also contains amazing hand-drawn illustrations of forest scenes. SELLING POINTS HEALTH BENEFITS: According to the International Journal of Environmental Health Research, spending time in a forest or urban park can have a positive impact on a person’s sense of well-being, and it is found to lower blood pressure, heart rate, and levels of harmful hormones. EXPERT AUTHOR: Ben Page is the director of training for the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy. He is extremely connected in the forest-bathing and nature-walking communities nationally. PROMOTIONAL PARTNERSHIP: The Association of Nature and Forest Therapy has agreed to partner in promotion. 122

chippings from these dolerite bluestones to the bluestones installed at Stonehenge roughly 4,500 years ago.

ABOUT STONEHENGE Of the numerous megalithic stone structures found throughout the British Isles and Continental Europe, Stonehenge is arguably the most famous. This ring of iconic stones was likely set in place around 2,500 BCE as part of a series of monuments, burial grounds, and ritual sites built in the same area over the course of thousands of years. Two primary types of stone were used to create Stonehenge: large, sarsen stones, composed of local silicified sandstone, and smaller ‘bluestones’ of Welsh origin. Recent petrographic studies have closely linked chippings from the dolerite bluestones at Stonehenge to the quarry located at Craig Rhos-y-Felin.

UNSTOPPABLE

Siggi B. Wilzig’s Astonishing Journey from Auschwitz Survivor and Penniless Immigrant to Wall Street Legend Author Joshua M Greene Foreword Deborah E. Lipstadt

“Just when we most need it, Unstoppable arrives to remind us of the resilient human spirit and its capacity to overcome the most daunting foes—a remarkable narrative, from a chapter of human history that never stops grabbing us by the throat. A timely and gripping tale for us all.” —Kati Marton, ABC News

Unstoppable is the story of an American hero—a man who survived the hell of Auschwitz to become one of the most successful, mesmerizing, and outrageous personalities in postwar America. Siggi B. Wilzig was a force of nature: a Holocaust survivor who arrived in New York penniless and built a $4 billion oil-and-banking empire. This is the ultimate immigrant story, an epic rags-to-riches adventure, a story that starts in Auschwitz and ends with one of the most lucrative bank sales in Wall Street history. Unstoppable does not dwell on tragedy but instead celebrates Siggi’s ingenuity, hope, resolve and message: no matter how cruel or unjust the world may be, humans can overcome the past to achieve a bright future.

Stuff You Thought You Knew:

RIGHT BR AIN VS LEF T BR AIN Are you left brained or right brained? There are quizzes abound to tell you which hemisphere “dominates” your personality, as well as tailored life advice, career coaching, and study tips designed to help you succeed no matter which brain you’re using. Such a shame it doesn’t actually work like that.

The Misconception It makes sense that people started to think that one side of your brain could dominate your behavior and personality, because some traits are associated with one side of the brain or the other. It’s not too wild to think that the left side of your brain might be more logical and analytical, while the right brain might be more creative and emotional. All of this stems from the misconception that one half of your brain is more in charge than the other, which isn’t really true.

Why Did We Think That? The reality is that, each half of your brain controls the other half of your body—so the right side of your brain controls the left side, and vice versa. In a healthy, ordinary brain, the two sides of the brain are connected via an information superhighway known as the corpus callosum, passing information back and forth to keep your whole body coordinated. There are some rare surgeries to treat conditions like epilepsy which require doctors to cut through the corpus callosum. This has a whole lot of weird effects, and because some behaviors are based in one hemisphere or the other, some of those effects can make it seem like certain personality traits are localized to one side of the brain.

The Real Story It turns out that some traits are actually localized— like language, which usually lives on the left side of the brain. Ordinarily, you’re able to use your whole brain to process all the information coming in from your sensory systems, like vision and hearing. But once you cut that corpus callosum, the right side of your brain can’t talk to the left side anymore. Because the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body (and vice versa), this means that if someone can only see an object or a word in their left visual field, because it’s being processed by the right side of the brain, they usually can’t find the words to describe it—their brain isn’t able to connect that visual information to the brain’s language center. Studies with these kinds of patients, called “split brain” patients, showed doctors that language tends to be localized to the left side of the brain, while the right side of the brain tends to do more of the visual and spatial processing. This could be where that old myth came from, since the left brain is thought to be “logical” while the right brain is “artistic”—language is important for logic and debate, while visual and spatial information is important for many kinds of art. But ultimately, two halves of a brain are better than one—your brain is most functional when those two halves are working together to solve math problems, draw landscapes or—let’s be real—staying up late playing video games.

SELLING POINTS STEM LEARNING MADE FUN: Details of the nervous system are presented in fun, fast, engaging ways that will appeal to both adult and young learners. AMAZING AUTHOR TEAM: Alie and Micah Caldwell created the Neuro Transmissions YouTube channel in 2015 and have been blowing the minds of millions of viewers ever since.

RIVER OF FINDING HEALING and TRANSFORMATION on the banks of the GANGES

FINAL COVER TO BE REVEALED

Agreeing to travel to India to appease her husband—and because she loved the food—Sadhvi never imagined she would meet her guru and, as a result, find a way home to herself.

ACCOMPLISHED AUTHOR: One of the world’s preeminent spiritual leaders, Saraswati is the author of four previous books on spirituality and is also well known as a writer, speaker, and activist. She serves on several committees (including in the UN) for international charity and economic development, and is a member of the Transformational Leadership Council as well as the director of the International Yoga Festival. STRONG MARKETING PLAN: The author will promote the book through her vast network of friends, colleagues, fans, and organizations to generate book signings, talks, and interviews.

THE POWER OF CRYSTAL HEALING

Crystal

Healing

SILBEY'S PREVIOUS BOOK THE COMPLETE CRYSTAL GUIDEBOOK HAS SOLD OVER 750,000 COPIES!

A C o m p l ete G u id e to S to n e a n d E n erg y W or k

Focuses primarily on practical application of stones as a source of healing for afflictions ranging from fatigue to high blood pressure.

Chapter 1:

ABOUT CRYSTALS AND STONES Though rocks and stones are often referred to as crystals, they are actually quite different. Basically, crystals are minerals. Rocks and stones are not. (A stone is a smaller rock or a shaped rock.) A rock or stone is naturally formed from minerals or crystals, often joined with various organic compounds. Rocks are not crystals themselves. They do not have a uniform structure like a crystal does. Rather they appear as a solid, naturally occurring mass. In contrast, crystals have a uniform internal structure. Though crystals are minerals, not all minerals appear in crystalline shape. The mineral, rose quartz, for example, rarely appears in a crystal structure. Jade or jadeite, also another mineral, also rarely appears in a crystalline structure. Technically, both of these stones are minerals rather than crystals in most cases. Through ancient geologic forces of time, heat, water and pressure, a crystal grows as a three dimensional network of atoms that are arranged in a symmetrical, repetitive pattern that spirals outward from an original “seed.” The lattice shape determines the resulting outward shape of the crystal as well as its physical properties. Furthermore, each crystalline structure can vary depending on certain impurities that can inhibit or change its grown pattern, the type of mineral saturation or changes of motion in its solution, the type of atomic bonding, and the temperature of the environment during its formation. This will all determine the crystal’s final shape and color. Every type of crystal, then, has its own unique, angular shape, color and inclusions that set it apart from every other crystal. This not only determines its physical properties, but also how the crystal healer can use it energetically.

U M A S I L B EY

A ROCK OR STONE IS NOT A CRYSTAL. CRYSTALS ARE MINERALS. NOT ALL MINERALS ARE CRYSTALS.

Uma Silbey, applying her 40 years of experience, presents proven crystal and stone techniques that work to heal the body, mind, emotions, and spirit. Step-by-step instructions for both the beginner and the advanced show how to use crystals to help heal a diverse array of physical ailments like the flu and colds, cancers, nerve and blood disorders, migraine headaches, exhaustion, and stress, as well as emotional concerns like anger and depression, shame and guilt, loss, heartbreak, and finding love.

SAINTS

The Illustrated Book of Days

Author Andrew Heritage

Start each day with this beautifully illustrated gift book on 365 saints in the Christian heritage.

SAINTS

T H E I L L U S T R AT E D B O O K O F DAYS

J A N U A RY The first month of the Julian and Gregorian calendars, January is associated with winter in the northern hemisphere and summer in the southern. It is named after the double-faced Roman deity Janus, god of the doorway. Christian festivals during this month include the Circumcision, falling on the eighth day after the Nativity, and Epiphany which, on January 6, celebrates the Adoration of the Magi on the twelfth day of Christmas. For the Eastern Churches, where it is known as Theophany, the date is associated with the Baptism of Christ (and was the day upon which Christ’s Nativity was originally celebrated). In some traditions, Epiphany forms a period of the liturgical calendar lasting until the beginning of Lent. In the West, it marks the beginning of the first period of Ordinary Time.

The Blessed Virgin Mary is the single most popular figure in Western art. Often glorified, often overwhelmed by attendants, here Giovanni Battista Salvi da Sassoferrato’s simple vision of a devoted woman (c.1650) reflects her essential purity.

The Blessed Virgin Mary C

hrist’s mother, the most important and widely revered saint in the Christian canon, is celebrated on the first day of the year, known formally as the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God. The numerous days in the ecclesiastical calendar previously devoted to her were rationalized at the Second Vatican Council (1962–65), and in 1969 the General Roman Calendar assigned this day as hers alone. The Blessed Virgin Mary still reappears throughout the Christian calendar, however: feast days associated with her life include her Nativity on September 8; the Annunciation of Our Lord on March 25; the Nativity of Christ on December 25; the Presentation of the Lord on February 2; her Assumption on August 15, her principal feast day; and her Enthronement as the Queen of Heaven on August 22. Her mourning for her lost son is commemorated on September 15 as Our Lady of Sorrows (Mater Dolorosa). She has been adopted by innumerable local churches and cults worldwide, the most significant of these including pilgrimage centers, such as Lourdes, where Marian apparitions have occurred. The monastery of Montserrat in Catalonia even has a black Virgin (La Moreneta), as does the pilgrimage center of Czestochowa in Poland. Underlying all this pomp and majesty is the enduring image of a humble Jewish village girl from Nazareth. In the New Testament, Mary—a girl selected by God to give birth to His son—first appears already betrothed to Joseph, a local carpenter. Both were of the lineage of King David. Although Mary only occasionally appears in the Gospels during the ministry of Jesus, she is understood to have been a continuing presence throughout His life, crucifixion, and resurrection. She is often regarded as His first disciple, and was with the Apostles when they were visited by the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. Her example of purity, chastity, humility, and devotion is one that nuns are enjoined to emulate. In 449, the Second Council of Ephesus conjectured that if Jesus Christ is an indivisible part of the Holy Trinity, should Mary not therefore be acclaimed as the Mother of God? For the Orthodox churches, Mary became Theotokos (the God-bearer); in the West, the Mother of God. As a result, an outburst of Marian cults spread across the Christian world. Despite her stature in the church, the Blessed Virgin Mary remains the most accessible, approachable, and beloved of all the saints.

JANUARY

PATRON SAINT OF: Benedictines, the Brothers Hospitallers, Cistertians, seafarers, fishmongers, harness makers, among many others STATUS: Mother of God BORN: c. 18 BC, Nazareth DIED: c. 30/33 AD VENERATED BY: Christianity, Islam SYMBOLS: Usually shown with a sword or holding a palm leaf (as here). She is often depicted as a princess, wearing a crown.

Hail Mary, Full of Grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of death. Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the HolySpirit.

This illustrated book of days tells the life story, ministry, and beatification of 365 Christian saints, each masterfully rendered with classic paintings and historic iconography. Organized by the saints’ traditional feast days, each page of this beautifully illustrated book provides a day’s worth of history, tradition, and inspiration from the saints’ lives and teachings, making this a wonderful baptism or confirmation gift, everyday devotional, or spiritual keepsake. SELLING POINTS THE BOOK OF SAINTS SUCCESS: Weldon Owen’s coffee-table Book of Saints enjoyed great success upon its publication in 2012, with more than 10 coeditions. This gift reformat provides similar content and beautiful art in a more portable and less expensive package. PERENNIAL REFERENCE: Unlike page-a-day calendars, this is a perennially appealing book featuring one saint per day with historical information and inspiration for years to come. ESTABLISHED CHRISTIAN MARKET: Christian readers represent a near-billion-dollar market, around 10% of the broader US publishing market. Christians buy more books and spend more money on books than the average reader. 144

THE BHAGAVAD GITA

Talks Between the Soul and God

Author Ranchor Prime

Ranchor Prime, an author of several books on Indian philosophy and culture, has translated this edition into English as one of the most accessible versions for the general public, especially those interested in the deeper meaning of the yoga tradition as a time-tested self-help guide.

The Bhagavad Gita is one of a small number of revered wisdom texts that transcends its faith tradition, such as the Bible, the Qur’an, and the Dao De Ching. Ranchor Prime, a UK author, broadcaster, and ecological activist, initially wrote this edition for his children, but it is far from a childish book. Rather, he has created a version of this classic that is accessible to an adult Western audience in a way that few of the hundreds of editions translated from the original Sanskrit have been. At its heart, the Gita deals with the mysteries of life: the nature of the Self, the Universe/Higher Power, and the World.

SELLING POINTS ANCIENT TEXT FOR MODERN AUDIENCES: This translation of the Bhagavad Gita, written in an accessible way, will resonate with Western readers more than other translations. GIFTABLE: A low price point and universal content make this the perfect gift to celebrate life's milestones.

BOOK OF TREASURES

ANCIENT

EGYPT ILLUSTRATED BY EUGENIA NOBATI WRITTEN BY PHILIP STEELE

A PRINCESS’S COFFIN Princess Henettawy (Hen-a-tar-ee) was buried in a second-hand tomb near Thebes. She didn’t have fancy decorations or piles of treasure, and her jeweller y was fairly simple. Even so, her coffins were richly painted. The Egyptians often made coffins that fitted inside each other like Russian dolls. The coffins protected the dead person for their journey to the next world. Inside Henettawy’s outer coffin (left) there is a second coffin (centre), and inside that is a flat board (right). The flat board covered the linen-wrapped body. The coffins and the flat board were shaped like a mummified human body. They were painted to show the face of the dead person, so that their spirit would know where to come if it returned to this world. The inner coffin is painted to look like gold. Osiris (Oh-sy-riss), god of life and death has a green face. His wife Isis (Eye-sis) spreads her wings across the coffins. The outer coffin is painted white like a mummy’s wrappings. On it we can see gods, goddesses, prayers and good luck charms painted in rich and glowing colours. All these will help her reach the next world safely.

FACT FILE

Henettawy was an impor tant priestess at the temple of Amun-Ra (A-mun-a-ray). She was known as the ‘Singer of Amun-Ra’. Date: About 1000–945

BIG QUESTIONS FOR LITTLE PEOPLE: SPACE WHY DO WE LIVE ON EARTH?

Author Claire Philip

EARTH’S ATMOSPHERE IS

454 MILES (700 KM) THICK.

BLUE PLANET

Earth is nicknamed the “blue planet” because most of its surface is covered by water. Water is a key ingredient for life, as plants and creatures need it to grow and live.

Earth is the perfect distance from the Sun, so the temperature is just right for living things to survive. The planet’s atmosphere is like a blanket. It protects us from the Sun's harmful rays. Earth is the only planet that has the water and air that humans, animals, and plants need.

, EARTH S STRUCTURE

When it first formed 4.5 billion years ago, Earth was a ball of molten rock—rock so hot that it melts. But around 4 billion years ago it began to cool and harden. The crust is just the right temperature for creatures to walk on it and for plants to grow. CRUST The thin layer that we see

MANTLE Like a solid, but flows very slowly

OUTER CORE Made from liquid nickel and iron

INNER CORE Made from solid nickel and iron

Heat and light from the Sun is crucial for life to survive on Earth. It takes billions of years for creatures like animals and humans to evolve. This means that life can only exist on planets that are near stars that will keep on burning for billions of years!

EARTH'S INNER CORE IS

9,000°F.

BIG QUESTIONS FOR LITTLE PEOPLE: ANIMALS HOW LONG DO HEDGEHOGS SLEEP?

TINY SLEEPERS

Yes, they do! Hedgehogs hibernate, which means that their body temperature drops to match their surroundings and they enter a sleep-like state. Many animals do this. It allows them to save lots of energy during cold winter months when food is hard to find. During this time, a hedgehog survives off the body fat it collected during the summer. Many animals sleep through winter, including frogs, chipmunks, and some types of bats.

Hedgehogs usually hibernate between November and March.

Noted Pandaren chef Nomi is your guide through the diverse lands of Azeroth in this follow-up to World of Warcraft: The Official Cookbook, featuring recipes first seen in the expansions of Blizzard’s phenomenally popular video game. As a young boy in Pandaria, Nomi answered the beckoning call of the Cooking School Bell and quickly grew into a promising chef with a little help from a certain adventurer.

Through the years, this intrepid cook has traveled across Azeroth, learning countless recipes and techniques from lands as far flung as Pandaria, the Broken Isles, and even the mysterious Shadowlands. In this cookbook, Nomi has collected the best recipes gathered during his travels and will instruct you in everything you need to know as you feast your way through Azeroth. Each chapter features easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions and vibrant photography of recipes from every corner of Azeroth, including:
