For fans of Bill Bryson and David Sedaris comes an anti-nature memoir that will resonate with anyone who would rather stay inside with a book than venture into the mountains, from one of Scandinavia’s biggest comedians.

“A smart, funny and honest exposé of the cult of the outdoors, from the sublime to the ridiculous.”—Foreword Reviews

Sometime around his forties, Are Kalvø starts losing his friends… to the mountains. Friends who used to meet him at the pub are now hiking and skiing every weekend, and when they do show up, all they talk about is feeling at one with nature (without a hint of irony). When Are realizes he’s the only person who hasn’t posted a selfie on a mountain, he starts to wonder: does he have it all wrong?

To find out, Are buys some ridiculously expensive gear and heads into the woods. The result of his sardonic trek is at once a smart and funny take-down of outdoors culture, and a reluctant surrender to nature’s undeniable pull. An adventure, a comedy, and a tragedy, The Hiking Book from Hell is destined to become a nature writing (and nature hating) classic.

For readers of Barry Lopez and Wade Davis comes a remarkable journey among India’s Bishnoi people, passionate defenders of nature whose ecological wisdom carries a powerful message for the world.

Meet the Bishnoi, followers of a religion with nature conservation at its heart. Today, Bishnois remain fierce defenders of trees and animals, living by principles set by their guru Jambhoji in the fifteenth century. They chase down armed poachers, rescue and care for injured animals, save endangered species, and lead heroic reforestation efforts in the Rajasthani desert. In a time of biodiversity loss and climate change, what lessons do they have to teach us?

The story of the Bishnoi is true, though it reads like a fable. In 1730, the Maharajah of Jodhpur sent his troops to chop down a forest in northwest India. When 363 local villagers, led by Amrita Devi, hugged the trees to protect them, the Maharajah’s men chopped off their heads. Who are these people who love trees so much that they would give their lives to save them?

Martin Goodman was invited deep into the world of the Bishnoi, who asked him to share their message. My Head for a Tree takes us from temples, homes, and schoolrooms to animal sanctuaries, farms, and desert forests, revealing a thriving community of eco-warriors. Their stories inspire and challenge readers to live more kindly and defend nature with a passion. While you can only be born a Bishnoi, Goodman writes, we can all follow their example.

For fans of A Wolf Called Wander comes the dramatic story of the life and legacy of the most famous wolf in the world—Wolf 06—in the third installment of The Chronicles of the Yellowstone Wolves series.

Praise for Book 1 in the series

"An inspiring read for any child who loves the natural world."—ROSANNE PARRY, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF A WOLF CALLED WANDER

Introducing... Yellowstone royalty.

The 06 Female is brave, intelligent, and beautiful. She’s bold enough to survive on her own, and strong enough to take down a fully grown elk by herself. Descended from some of the park’s most legendary wolves, she seems destined for greatness.

In the world of the Yellowstone wolf packs, alpha females are a powerful force and Wolf 06 is ready to take on the role—she just needs to find a mate who will match her skills with his own.

Based on the observations of renowned Yellowstone wolf expert Rick McIntyre, Queen of the Wolves celebrates Wolf 06 and other alpha females. Their stories will leave no doubt about the legacy of these remarkable wolves.

Book 3 in The Chronicles of the Yellowstone Wolves series!

In The Chronicles of the Yellowstone Wolves series, renowned wolf expert Rick McIntyre and award-winning author David A. Poulsen team up to bring the fascinating stories of the Yellowstone wolves to a new generation of readers. Based on McIntyre's award-winning, bestselling books for adult readers, and containing a wealth of scientifically sound information on wolf behavior, this series is written in an engaging style that brings the drama and intrigue of the wolves' world to life.

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.

THE FOLLOW-UP TO THE MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLER THE OBESITY CODE

The Obesity Code helped thousands of people lose weight naturally.

The Hunger Code will help thousands more lose weight—and keep it off—in an era of weight‑loss drugs and ultra-processed foods…without counting calories.

For generations, we've accepted the story that weight loss can never last—that as soon as we go off the diet or stop taking the medication, we revert to our old habits, regain the weight, and the calorie-counting journey starts all over again. Traditional medicine continues to treat the symptom of weight gain rather than addressing its root causes. Too often, healthcare systems intervene with quick fixes and short-term solutions, ignoring the factors that lead to sustainable weight loss that can last a lifetime.

What if the secret to long-term weight maintenance and better health isn’t just about what you eat—or even when you eat—but why you eat?

With the food industry's reliance on ultra-processed foods and the popularity of Ozempic and Mounjaro, understanding the forces behind why we eat is more important than ever before.

In The Hunger Code, New York Times bestselling author Dr. Jason Fung reveals the three powerful forces that drive us to eat:

• Physical Hunger
• Emotional Hunger
• Social Hunger

Dr. Fung also introduces the concept of the body’s “fat thermostat”—a biological “set point” that regulates how much fat your body tries to maintain. Guided by hormones and metabolism, this internal system drives hunger and energy use, explaining why lasting weight loss requires more than just willpower …

With three Golden Rules and 50 actionable tips, The Hunger Code empowers you to recognize and respond to hunger appropriately. Learn how to slow digestion, break emotional eating cycles, and overcome social pressures to eat constantly, so you can maintain a healthy weight—from scratch, after fasting, or after using weight‑loss drugs.
