Each species in an ecosystem relies on one another. From the millions of fungi in the soil to the macrofauna that dominate the landscape, from the biggest predator to the smallest prey, each organism helps create a livable, sustainable ecosystem in which all the others can thrive. In his commercial debut, renowned ecologist and leader of the Trillion Trees Study Dr. Tom Crowther will take readers beneath the canopy to show how everything within and around the trees connects through an intricate series of feedback loops.

But feedback loops aren’t just critical to understanding how ecosystems function and persist over time, they also underpin the most incredible developments in the universe from the birth of the stars to the evolution of species to the creation of language itself. These loops are the most powerful mechanism of change we have, and if we understand how they work, both in nature and in society, we’ll have the tools to revive the rich, diverse, and sustainable environments we love and need.

Grounded in original research and containing of dozens of real-world stories from across the globe, Dr. Crowther will provide readers with a renewed sense of awe in the power and beauty of nature, and a new paradigm for how to engage with our environment and our society to create transformative change.

Dr Thomas Crowther runs the Crowther Lab at ETH Zurich, where he is a professor in the Department of Environmental Systems Science, conducting original research and teaching the science of climate change. His research is regularly published in top journals such as Nature, Science, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and he has been featured in popular media including The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Guardian. He speaks regularly at conferences like Davos and the UN Convention on Climate Change and consults with major companies including Google and Salesforce.

A few years ago, David Alvarez had it all: a huge book deal, a loving boyfriend, and a bright writing career to look forward to. But after his second novel flops, David finds himself broke, single, lonely, and trying to come up with a brilliant idea for his third novel to turn his life around. But, good ideas aren’t easy to come by, and the mounting pressure of a near-empty bank account and the threat of eviction has left David’s creative tank on empty.

Then David meets Robert on a dating app, and his confidence and charm are the perfect distraction from another evening spent staring at a blank page. But when David wakes up hungover and finds Robert dead next to him, his anxiety about the future disappears in the face of the alarmingly chaotic present. Faced with the possibility that he may have killed Robert, David calls the one person he trusts in moments of crisis: his literary agent, Stacey.

Together, David and Stacey must get rid of Robert’s body, cover their tracks, and spin the events of that one crazy morning into a novel. This could very well be the story David has been looking for all along, and the one that will help him turn his luck around. If only he can find a way to get away with it first.

Bursting with energy, I MIGHT BE IN TROUBLE is a satirical look at the intersection of art and commerce, and a madcap adventure of a young man trying to navigate life’s disappointments, certain to resonate with anyone who has found themselves at a crossroads of their life, wondering: how the f**k did I get here?

Gold is the colour of innocence, green stands for stability, and blue represents sadness. As a child, Alice discovers that she can see other people’s emotions and moods in colours emanating from their bodies. These auras reveal whether someone is telling the truth or lying; happy or secretly close to tears; or filled with rage. Alice sees the best in people but she also sees the worst. She sees a thousand different emotions and knows exactly what everyone around her is feeling. But it’s the dark thoughts. The sadness and the rage that she can’t get out of her head.
Awash in a sea of other people’s emotions, Alice struggles to surround herself with the colours of happiness. At first, nature and the outdoors are her only opportunity to experience some peace. But as she strikes out on her own, a wise neighbor who recognizes Alice’s gift teaches her how to cope with the daily flood of feelings, preparing her for an encounter with a man seemingly without colours. Alice, who once sought to mute the vivid colours around her, finally embraces all the shimmering facets of life for herself.
Emotional and wise, colourful and tender, IN A THOUSAND DIFFERENT WAYS celebrates the joys of being together and the infinite colours of life and love.

Too many women depend on external approval to define their self worth. While that desire might initially drive people to high-performing jobs, it secretly sabotages their chances of the fulfilling life and career they desire. Brooke Taylor has transformed the lives of more than 5,000 high-achieving women in business by healing what she calls “the success wound” – the pain that comes from a person’s mistaking success for her self-worth.

Working with high-level executives at companies like Uber, Microsoft, and Google, Brooke’s advice has helped clients land promotions, advance into leadership roles, negotiate raises, and start businesses with millions of dollars in funding.

But Brooke’s process doesn’t just lead to career success. By helping women find self-worth outside of their career, she also helps to heal crippling burnout, alleviate chronic anxiety, increase confidence and self-assurance, and create healthy new habits that clients actually stick to.

Brooke’s five-step process to help women succeed in their careers and in their relationships with themselves is proven. Now, in her first book, she’ll share that process with women around the globe – showing them how to separate self-worth from success, without having to sacrifice.
