JAMES BEARD AWARD WINNER IACP Cookbook Award finalist In the face of apocalyptic climate change, a former fisherman shares a bold and hopeful new vision for saving the planet: farming the ocean. Here Bren Smith—pioneer of regenerative ocean agriculture—introduces the world to a groundbreaking solution to the global climate crisis. A genre-defining “climate memoir,” Eat Like a Fish interweaves Smith’s own life—from sailing the high seas aboard commercial fishing trawlers to developing new forms of ocean farming to surfing the frontiers of the food movement—with actionable food policy and practical advice on ocean farming. Written with the humor and swagger of a fisherman telling a late-night tale, it is a powerful story of environmental renewal, and a must-read guide to saving our oceans, feeding the world, and—by creating new jobs up and down the coasts—putting working class Americans back to work.

The real-life story of how the world's most famous female long-distance swimmer encountered a grey whale separated from its mother - and how she helped to reunite them. Lynne Cox is the author of 'Swimming to Antarctica', a memoir of her life as a swimmer. From the age of fourteen she has been breaking records for long-distance swimming, culminating in a mile-long swim in Antarctica, in zero degree-temperature water. When Lynne was 17, and on a training swim off the California mainland, she found herself swimming with a grey whale that had lost its mother. For the next seven hours, she swam with the whale - through pods of dolphin, and schools of sun-fish, between the pilings of a pier, and out to the base of an oil-rig, diving down as deeply as Lynne was able to, losing sight of the whale for minutes only to have it return and listen to its strange clicking and singing - in an increasingly desperate attempt to locate its mother. The whale was too young to survive by itself, and Lynne's account of the hours she spent swimming with it, and of the moment when they finally found its mother is remarkable. Heartwarming, beautifully-written, atmospheric and sparkling with descriptions of the ocean and the behavior of the magnificent creatures that live in it, 'The Day the Whale Came' is an unforgettable story of human resilience and natural wonder.

Only once did David Foster Wallace give a public talk on his views on life, during a commencement address given in 2005 at Kenyon College. The speech is reprinted for the first time in book form in THIS IS WATER. How does one keep from going through their comfortable, prosperous adult life unconsciously' How do we get ourselves out of the foreground of our thoughts and achieve compassion' The speech captures Wallace's electric intellect as well as his grace in attention to others. After his death, it became a treasured piece of writing reprinted in The Wall Street Journal and the London Times, commented on endlessly in blogs, and emailed from friend to friend. Writing with his one-of-a-kind blend of causal humor, exacting intellect, and practical philosophy, David Foster Wallace probes the challenges of daily living and offers advice that renews us with every reading.

How would you like to feel at peace; calm and serene on a daily basis? How would you enjoy knowing that whatever comes your way, you will handle it fine? Even better, what if you knew you could turn anything around, changing any event into an opportunity? Welcome to the world of possibilities offered by self-leadership. Within self-leadership you find many skills, and two are extremely important in today's world. First, being able to let go of an illusion of control we are hanging onto. This gives us flexibility, adaptability and curiosity. And second, being able to develop an unbreakable sense of who we are and what we can do. This gives us an amazing can anchor we can hold onto when everything around spin at full speed, and yes it helps us to develop resilience, growth mindset, or creativity. Organised into eleven chapters, this book takes you through eleven stages to develop your Self-Leadership skills. Each chapter is split into seven swims, and each swim finishes with a practice exercise. When you decide to open this book, you decide to embark into a journey through oceans. It's not just any kind of journey; it's a spiralling one. Every day, you will discover or re-discover some crucial knowledge. You will strengthen associated skills. You will build step-by-step true competency in Self-Leadership. The chosen learning approach is inductive; from specifics to general. Each swim focuses on specific elements or skills, which may have been either underused or used with a different focus. Each skill has several layers and you are going to build onto each layer. This is the spiralling effect. Nicely said by Trevor Horne, "One of the gifts in this book is that Florence does not just tell us what to do, but creates the mindset, conditions and activities for each of us to walk our own journey of self--the how to do it. This book is essentially a quest in which you are the hero. You can decide to go in whichever direction you think is appropriate for you. You can dive into dark, forbidding places, stay in the comfort of what is familiar, stride confidently or tread hesitantly. All of it is invitational. Go at your own pace in your own direction. All you have to do now is accept her invitation to enter the oceans, for in these oceans is the treasure you seek."
