The Sunset Route: Freight Trains, Forgiveness, and Freedom on the Rails in the American West
The unforgettable story of one woman who leaves behind her hardscrabble childhood in Alaska to travel the country via freight train-a beautiful memoir about forgiveness, self-discovery, and the redemptive power of nature, perfect for fans of Wild or Educated. "An urgent read. A courageous life. Quinn's story burns through us and bleeds beauty on every page."-Noé Álvarez, author of Spirit Run: A 6,000-Mile Marathon Through North America's Stolen Land After a childhood marked by neglect, poverty, and periods of homelessness, with a mother who believed herself to be the reincarnation of the Virgin Mary, Carrot Quinn moved out on her own. She found a sense of belonging among straight-edge anarchists who taught her how to traverse the country by freight trains, sleep in fields under the stars, and feed herself by foraging in dumpsters. Her new life was one of thrilling adventure and freedom, but still she was haunted by the ghosts of her lonely and traumatic childhood. The Sunset Route is a powerful and brazenly honest adventure memoir set in the unseen corners of the United States-in the Alaskan cold, on trains rattling through forests and deserts, as well as in low-income apartments and crowded punk houses-following a remarkable protagonist who has witnessed more tragedy than she thought she could ever endure and who must learn to heal her own heart. Ultimately, it is a meditation on the natural world as a spiritual anchor, and on the ways that forgiveness can set us free.

The Believer: Alien Encounters, Hard Science, and the Passion of John Mack
The Believer is the weird and chilling true story of Dr. John Mack. This eminent Harvard psychiatrist and Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer risked his career to investigate the phenomenon of human encounters with aliens and to give credibility to the stupefying tales shared by people who were utterly convinced they had happened. Nothing in Mack's four decades of psychiatry had prepared him for the otherworldly accounts of a cross section of humanity including young children who reported being taken against their wills by alien beings. Over the course of his career his interest in alien abduction grew from curiosity to wonder, ultimately developing into a limitless, unwavering passion. Based on exclusive access to Mack's archives, journals, and psychiatric notes and interviews with his family and closest associates, The Believer reveals the life and work of a man who explored the deepest of scientific conundrums and further leads us to the hidden dimensions and alternate realities that captivated Mack until the end of his life.

La invención de la naturaleza: El Nuevo Mundo de Alexander von Humboldt
La espléndida biografía de Alexander von Humboldt, el héroe perdido de la ciencia y padre de la ecología. La invención de la naturaleza revela la extraordinaria vida del visionario naturalista alemán Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) y cómo creó una nueva forma de entender la naturaleza. Humboldt fue un intrépido explorador y el científico más famoso de su época. Su agitada vida estuvo repleta de aventuras y descubrimientos: escaló los volcanes más altos del mundo, remó por el Orinoco y recorrió una Siberia infestada de ántrax. Capaz de percibir la naturaleza como una fuerza global interconectada, Humboldt descubrió similitudes entre distintas zonas climáticas de todo el mundo, y previó el peligro de un cambio climático provocado por el hombre. Convirtió la observación científica en narrativa poética, y sus escritos inspiraron no solo a naturalistas y escritores como Darwin, Wordsworth y Goethe, sino también a políticos como Jefferson o Simón Bolívar. Además, fueron las ideas de Humboldt las que llevaron a John Muir a perseverar en sus teorías, y a Thoreau a escribir su Walden. Wulf rastrea la influencia de Humboldt en las grandes mentes de su tiempo, a las que inspiró en ámbitos como la revolución, la teoría de evolución, la ecología, la conservación, el arte y la literatura. Una lectura que cobra importancia en el Día mundial del medioambiente. La invención de la naturaleza está entre los mejores libros del año según The New York Times, The Independent y Publishers Weekly entre otros. Reseñas: «Mi libro favorito con diferencia es esta increíble biografía sobre el visionario naturalista alemán cuyas ideas cambiaron nuestra manera de ver el mundo natural y que configuran la conciencia medioambiental moderna. Amigo de Goethe, influyó en Darwin, Thomas Jefferson y Bolívar. Él demostró tener una visión unitaria de la vida. Hoy nos ponemos en su piel cuando debatimos sobre cambio climático. Un pensador pasado por alto, pese a ser un poderoso recordatorio de voces que advirtieron sobre sobreexplotación, contaminación y derechos humanos.» Francesca Thyssen, ABC ('30 libros para una cuarentena') «Una lectura sensacional. El estupendo nuevo libro de Andrea Wulf se atreve con la figura de Alexander von Humboldt. La invención de la naturaleza es un elogio de altísima calidad a una figura cautivadora.» Simon Winder, The Guardian «Un libro emocionante. [...] Es imposible leer La invención de la naturaleza sin contraer la fiebre Humboldt. Wulf tiene el poder de volvernos a todos humboldtianos. Por momentos se lee como literatura de aventuras, y la investigación de Wulf tiene dimensiones casi humboldtianas.» New York Review of Books «Consigue su objetivo de rescatar la reputación de Humboldt de la grieta en la que él y muchos otros escritores y científicos alemanes cayeron después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.» The Independent «Wulf demuestra que Humboldt fue un auténtico visionario, cuya perspectiva es hoy más pertinente que nunca.» Booklist «Una biografía brillantemente escrita. Como demuestra este maravilloso libro, la figura de Humboldt debería incorporarse a toda prisa en todos los programas educativos de la Tierra.» The Scotsman

From Darkness to Sight: A Journey from Hardship to Healing
From Darkness to Sight chronicles the remarkable life journey of Dr. Ming Wang, a world-renowned laser eye surgeon and philanthropist. As a teenager, Ming fought valiantly to escape one of history's darkest eras - China's Cultural Revolution - during which millions of innocent youth were deported to remote areas to face a life sentence of poverty and hard labor. Through his own tenacity and his parents' tireless efforts to provide a chance of freedom for their son, Ming eventually made his way to America with $50 in his pocket and an American dream in his heart, where against all odds he would earn a PhD in laser physics and graduate magna cum laude with the highest honors from Harvard Medical School and MIT. He embraced his Christian faith and tackled one of the most important questions of our time - Are faith and science friends or foes? - which led to his invention of a breakthrough biotechnology to restore sight. To date, Dr. Wang has performed over 55,000 eye procedures and has treated patients from nearly every state in the U.S. and from over 55 countries worldwide. He is considered the "doctor's doctor," as he has operated on over 4,000 physicians. Dr. Wang has published 8 textbooks including a paper in the world-renowned journal Nature, holds several U.S. patents and performed the world's first laser artificial cornea implantation. He is the recipient of the Honor Award from American Academy of Ophthalmology and the Lifetime Achievement Award from American Chinese Physician Association.

Dr. Wang established a non-profit foundation which provides sight restoration surgeries for indigent patients who otherwise would never have the opportunity to receive them free-of-charge.

Sigmund Freud: Heilung durch den Geist
Dieses in weiten Teilen biographische Werk widmete Stefan Zweig dem Begründer der Psychoanalyse Sigmund Freud. Stefan Zweig gelingt es dabei, den wissenschaftlichen Beitrag Freuds auch gedenk einiger Schwächen in das rechte Licht zu Rücken und angemessen zu würdigen. Die eigentliche Leistung Freuds liegt demnach weniger im wissenschaftlichen Details als viel mehr in der Vielzahl seiner Beiträge mit denen er das Denken, Überdenken und Forschen vieler seiner Nachfolger ermöglichte und inspirierte. Das Leben Freuds und die Entstehungsgeschichte der Psychoanalyse schildert Zweig mit gewohnter sprachlicher Virtuosität.

Magellan: Der Mann und seine Tat
Mit dem Zeitalter der Entdeckungsreisen im 15. Jahrhundert senkte sich langsam der Vorhang der Geschichte über das ausgehende Mittelalter. Portugiesische und spanische Seefahrer machten sich auf, die Dimensionen der Erde neu zu vermessen. Zahlreichen Gewürze und Früchte, auf die wir heute nur schwerlich verzichten könnten, fanden damals erstmals den Weg nach Europa. Auf seiner Suche nach Indien entdeckte Kolumbus 1492 Amerika. Vasco da Gama blieb es dann sechs Jahre später vorbehalten, den von Kolumbus gesuchten Seeweg nach Indien, auf der östlichen Route um Afrika herum, zu durchfahren. 1519 setzte schließlich der Portugiese Magellan im Auftrag der spanischen Krone zur kühnsten Tat der Geschichte der Seefahrt an: Der ersten Weltumsegelung. Sie war das Resultat seiner Suche nach einem westlichen Seeweg zu den Reichtümern Südostasiens und Indiens. In brillanter Sprache, gespickt mit historischen Fakten, würdigt der Schriftsteller Stefan Zweig die seefahrerische Leistung Magellans und gewährt dem Hörer einen Einblick in eine Zeit voller dramatischer Umbrüche. Denn während Magellan auf den Ozeanen gegen die Tücken der See ankämpfte, setzte sich in Europa bereits die Reformation in Gang.

Tesla: Wizard at War: The Genius, the Particle Beam Weapon, and the Pursuit of Power
'In a few years hence, it will be possible for nations to fight without armies, ships or guns, by weapons far more terrible to the destructive action and range of which there is virtually no limit. Any city at any distance whatsoever from the enemy can be destroyed by him and no power on Earth can stop him from doing so.'-Nikola Tesla, circa 1925 Drawing on forty years of research and a treasure trove of new information, Tesla: Wizard at War provides a comprehensive view of Tesla's discoveries, which continue to influence today's military technology and diplomatic strategies. One of the world's leading Tesla experts, Marc J. Seifer offers new insight into the brilliant scientist's particle beam weapon (aka the 'Death Ray') and explores his military negotiations with pivotal historical figures-including his links to Joseph Stalin, Vannevar Bush, General Andrew McNaughton, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. From Tesla's role in the origins of Star Wars technology and his dynamic theory of gravity, to the real purpose behind the iconic tower at Wardenclyffe, this is an eye-opening account of Tesla's projects, passions, and ambitions-and an illuminating, important study of one of history's most intriguing figures.

The Andreasson Affair: The True Story of a Close Encounter of the Fourth Kind
The Classic Case of Alien Abduction Rereleased with a New Afterword for a New Generation The Andreasson Affair is more than just a classic example of a close encounter. It is-to use the jargon of ufologists-a case of such 'high strangeness' that even the most open-minded investigators were at first inclined to dismiss it out of hand. Yet it has become probably the best documented case of its kind to date, the subject of an intensive twelve-month investigation conducted for the Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) that involved, among other things, the recording of large quantities of testimony given under hypnosis, extensive lie detector testing of witnesses, detailed analysis of corroborative circumstantial evidence, exhaustive comparison with other such accounts, and much more. The Andreasson Affair includes: the most detailed description of any UFO abduction experience; a supporting foreword to the book by astronomer Dr. J. Allen Hynek; and verification of all events associated with Betty's experience.
