#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER
WINNER OF THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE FOR NONFICTION " FINALIST FOR THE HILARY WESTON WRITERS' TRUST PRIZE FOR NONFICTION " FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD IN NONFICTION " ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES' TOP TEN BOOKS OF THE YEAR " A stunning account of the colossal wildfire at Fort McMurray, and a panoramic exploration of the rapidly changing relationship between fire and humankind from the award-winning, best-selling author of The Tiger and The Golden Spruce.
Named a Best Book of the Year by The Guardian " TIME " The Globe and Mail " The New Yorker " Financial Times " CBC " Smithsonian " Air Mail Weekly " Slate " NPR " Toronto Star " The Washington Post " The Times " Orion Magazine
In May 2016, Fort McMurray, the hub of Canada's petroleum industry and America's biggest foreign supplier, was overrun by wildfire. The multi-billion-dollar disaster melted vehicles, turned entire neighborhoods into firebombs, and drove 88,000 people from their homes in a single afternoon. Through the lens of this apocalyptic conflagration - the wildfire equivalent of Hurricane Katrina - John Vaillant warns that this was not a unique event but a shocking preview of what we must prepare for in a hotter, more flammable world.
For hundreds of millennia, fire has been a partner in our evolution, shaping culture, civilization, and, very likely, our brains. Fire has enabled us to cook our food, defend and heat our homes, and power the machines that drive our titanic economy. Yet this volatile energy source has always threatened to elude our control, and in our new age of intensifying climate change, we are seeing its destructive power unleashed in previously unimaginable ways.
With masterly prose and a cinematic eye, Vaillant takes us on a riveting journey through the intertwined histories of North America's oil industry and the birth of climate science, to the unprecedented devastation wrought by modern forest fires, and into lives forever changed by these disasters. John Vaillant's urgent work is a book for - and from - our new century of fire, which has only just begun.

"Transformative." - Greg McKeown, New York Times bestselling author of Essentialism and Effortless
Change your mindset from problem-focused ("yes, but") to opportunistic ("yes, and") using omdenken, the Dutch art of flip thinking - from the bestselling author and founder of the omdenken philosophy.
Imagine this: You've got a great idea, and all you hear are the yes-buts.
"Yes, but that's been tried before, and it didn't work."
"Yes, but shouldn't we just let it sit for a while?"
"Yes, but what if it doesn't work?"
Published in English for the first time, this international bestseller introduces the power of omdenken - or flip thinking - to transform stuck-in-the-mud, pessimistic thought into an inventive, curious mindset, so you can stop saying "yes, but" to life, and start saying "yes, and."
In this riveting book, Berthold Gunster presents fifteen strategies to transform your thoughts away from limitations and negativities and towards possibilities and opportunities. From disrupting (turn all the rules upside down) to flaunting (play up what you want to hide), from importing (get the enemy on board) to amplifying (do more of what works), Gunster's strategies and stories will have you approaching even the most challenging problems - whether an annoying neighbor or an angry colleague or an unhappy partner - in a whole new way.

For fans of Jodi Picoult, Kate Hewitt and Ashley Audrain, a heart-wrenching novel about two women whose eggs are switched during IVF
Katherine is a woman full of obsessions. Everything clean, everything perfect, all the time. After seven years of trying - and failing - to conceive, she finally gives birth to Rose, her IVF miracle child. But she's afraid that Rose may not be her daughter; her pale skin doesn't match Katherine's own.
Tess never got her happy ending. She took on IVF alongside Katherine and a group of hopeful mothers, but her daughter, Hanna, was stillborn. After a series of poor choices, she's divorced, broke and stuck in a job that's below her skill set.
Ten months later, Katherine and Tess get a call from the fertility clinic that reveals shocking news: the two women's eggs were switched. While Katherine's perfect life beings to crumble around her, for Tess it's the glimmer of hope she needs to get her life back on track. But it will take a custody battle to decide who deserves to be Rose's mother, a battle that will push both women to the brink.
With themes of racial identity, loss and betrayal, this emotional novel centred around a difficult moral question beautifully explores the complexities of motherhood.

A detailed guide to surviving history's most challenging threats, from outrunning dinosaurs to making it off the Titanic alive
History is the most dangerous place on earth. From dinosaurs the size of locomotives to meteors big enough to sterilize the planet, from famines to pandemics, from tornadoes to the Chicxulub asteroid, the odds of human survival are slim but not zero - at least, not if you know where to go and what to do.
In each chapter of How to Survive History, Cody Cassidy explores how to survive one of history's greatest threats: getting eaten by dinosaurs, being destroyed by the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs, succumbing to the lava flows of Pompeii, being devoured by the Donner Party, drowning during the sinking of the Titanic, falling prey to the Black Death, and more. Using hindsight and modern science to estimate everything from how fast you'd need to run to outpace a T. rex to the advantages of different body types in surviving the Donner Party tragedy, Cassidy gives you a detailed battle plan for survival, helping you learn about the era at the same time.
History may be the most dangerous place on earth, but that doesn't mean you can't visit. You can, and you should. And with a copy of How to Survive History in your back pocket, you just might make it out alive.
