America's northern border is the world's longest international boundary, yet it remains obscure even to Americans. Travel writer Porter Fox spent two years exploring its length by canoe, freighter, and car - and in Northland, he delivers the little-known history of the region and a riveting account of his travels. Fox follows explorer Samuel de Champlain's adventures; recounts the rise and fall of the iron, wheat, and timber industries; crosses the Great Lakes on a freighter; and tracks America's fur traders through the Boundary Waters.

Alchemy is the science of transformation - how to change one thing into something else. In The Alchemy of Inner Work, Dechar and Fox examine how illness, suffering, and disease - the "lead" of our lives - can become the "gold" of our authentic selves, and the key to good health and well-being. Drawing on traditional Chinese medicine, Eastern and Western alchemical traditions, Kabbalah, and Jungian psychology - plus case studies from working with patients - the authors provide hands-on insights for bringing "the soul of medicine" back into our lives.

A shameless, self-made, hot billionaire stole my CEO job right out from under me. The reigns of my family empire were handed to an outsider instead of me. I didn’t get mad. I got even. I got him naked under me, exactly where I wanted him, whenever I wanted him. But nothing else was going my way. That CEO was my father’s old business partner and his ex-best friend. He was also my best friend’s dad. Worst of all, he was the bosshole who demoted me from VP to supervisor. Maybe he thought it would be fun to see me give up my faux Louboutins for steel-toed boots. Maybe he didn’t believe ...

If a fox could speak, you would not get a confession or a joke. You would get a map: the wind as road, whiskers as instruments, the hush under snow as a ledger of who lives and who is hungry. I move by ear and scent, not by right and wrong. These pages are my short reports—winter dives for voles, the geometry of an alley after midnight, the den that keeps memory warm—written to make you feel how a mind built on smell and motion understands the world. This is not nature romanticism. It is candid fieldwork from a creature that plans with hunger and hears the city the way you hear a radio ...

Here, for the first time, is a complete and chronological account: everything from levitating the dog and navigating by smell to meeting his wife Tamsin through the Lonely Hearts column of Time Out and attempting to run away to sea and raise a family on a 27 foot boat.

The Cold War, a period of history during which spycraft rules the world by substituting subterfuge and lies for actual war and mass death. The Soviet Union and the United States of America, the two major players, spend untold sums of money and put their best minds to work at attempting to gain the “upper hand,” whatever that means. Two distinct ideologies. One takes the long view, while the other prefers instant gratification.

This is what it is like to sail an ocean alone. Not the world-girdling marathon of the Southern Ocean racers or the “cruise in company” as part of a trade-wind rally, but what it is really like to set off for 3,496 miles from the British Virgin Islands to Falmouth in the UK, totally alone. That means no contact with the shore, no high-frequency radio or satphone. No weather forecasts, no texts from loved ones. No news…Just complete and uninterrupted isolation for 44 days. In other words, this is singlehanded ocean sailing at its purest: One man in a world shrunk to its bare essentials.
