An Illustrated Journey: Inspiration From the Private Art Journals of Traveling Artists, Illustrators and Designers

Travel + Sketching = Inspiration

When we travel, we don’t want to follow the same itinerary as everyone who’s come before us. We want to feel like explorers, adventurers in undiscovered territory. And that’s exactly what sketching can bring to the travel experience.

An Illustrated Journey captures the world through the eyes of 40 talented artists, illustrators and designers. You’ll experience the wonder of seeing familiar sights through a fresh lens but, more important, you’ll be inspired to set pen to paper and capture your own vistas.

The really wonderful thing about a sketchbook is that it can be totally private. You don’t have to have an ounce of talent to enjoy learning how to really see what’s in front of you. But lucky for us, the sketchbooks captured here are lovely, creative, intimate windows into each artist’s mind.

So, whether you’re just returning to the art of drawing, abandoned by most of us after childhood, or you’re looking for inspiration to take your illustration work in a new direction, An Illustrated Journey will take you on a wonderful trip of the imagination. All you need to pack are a pencil and a piece of paper.

The Raw Cure: Healing Beyond Medicine: How self-empowerment, a raw vegan diet, and change of lifestyle can free us from sickness and disease.

People are finally catching on. There is no way around the fact that the consumption of meat, eggs, the variety of products made from dairy, and foods containing toxic chemicals and refined ingredients trigger the most common diseases afflicting humans. While we remain fearful of nuclear accidents, wars, floods, fires, tornadoes, typhoons, hurricanes, earthquakes, and car crashes, the truth is that the vast majority of people in commercialized civilization are more likely to die from the symptoms resulting from their dependence on prescription drugs, living a toxic lifestyle, and making poor dietary choices. Chief among those bad choices are eating meat, dairy, eggs, refined and fatty foods, and foods containing synthetic chemicals. Meat, eggs, and dairy products are not ideal food sources for humans. We have simply been lied to by the multi-billion-dollar industries that are responsible for producing these low-quality foods, as they continue to profit from products that are the result of the mass-breeding, mistreatment, and killing of harmless, sentient beings that can feel pain just as much as we can. The truth is that eating meat, dairy, eggs, and refined and chemically-altered foods is deleterious to our health. The common degenerative and chronic diseases we are afflicted with today are directly linked with the food choices we make. By eating more raw fruits and vegetables, removing animal products and junk foods from our diet, and making healthier lifestyle choices we will soon find that we no longer need the vast amount of what we call ‘healthcare’. We will drastically reduce the costs associated with surgery and our dependence on toxic, synthetic chemical drugs. Incidence of heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, arthritis, cancer, and obesity will plunge, and we – and Earth – will be much healthier. Rather than choosing to be ignorant of the truth, it is time for us to take back our health, empower ourselves, gain compassion, and quit contributing to these acts of cruelty we call ‘animal farming’. Doing so will greatly reduce our use of fossil fuels that are destroying life on Earth. Using medical studies, and reliable scientific research, the author provides strong evidence that the link between nutrition and disease is more paramount than we once believed it to be. This book exposes the truth, and will guide you on your journey to take back your health.

Sayings of the Buddha: New Translations from the Pali Nikayas (Oxford World’s Classics)

This new translation offers a selection of the Buddha’s most important sayings, reflecting the full variety of material contained in the Nikayas: the central themes of the Buddha’s teaching (his biography, philosophical discourse, instruction on morality, meditation, and the spiritual life) and the range of literary style (myth, dialogue, narrative, short sayings, verse).

Teacher of the Year :400 Quotes of Insight, Inspiration, and Motivation from America’s Greatest Teachers

In six years of editing the education digest Curriculum Review, author Frank Sennett learned three things about quote books for teachers: They are plentiful, popular–and incredibly repetitive. Each drains the same reservoir of great thoughts and pithy observations offered by the immortal likes of Maria Montessori, JFK, Mark Twain, and the full range of Greek philosophers. Repackage these quotations under new titles, it seems, and you’ve got another year’s worth of perfect gifts for the teachers in your life. Teacher of the Year taps into that evergreen market with a different type of gift book: one that mines a previously unexplored cache of quotations on education, all tied into a fresh, appealing hook. The book features wisdom from educators named Teacher of the Year by their school, district, state, or a national organization. Gathered together for the first time, these insights will help even the most jaded instructor reconnect with the joy of teaching. The quotes in Teacher of the Year strike a nice balance between the profound/philosophical and the lighthearted. Regardless of tome, all of the quotes ring true and will resonate with all types of teachers. The quotes are divided into subcategories for pleasant browsing. These include broad topics such as: It’s More than a Job…Teaching as a Calling; Parents as Partners; It’s All About the Kids; It’s a Matter of Principal (and School Board); When the Going Gets Tough…Overcoming Burnout; Teaching for Tomorrow, Today; Class Dismissed!? The Fallacy of Great Hours; and so on. This small-format, hardcover, original along the lines of our other quote books is a natural gift for a teacher at any level, whether for Christmas, a birthday, a promotion, graduation from a teacher training program, etc. The book should sell steadily and backlist well. A Page-a-Day calendar licensing deal would be a natural extension. Finally, as someone who spent 7 years as a classroom teacher, I can attest to the fact that I would’ve much preferred receiving this encouraging little volume instead of another “World’s Greatest Teacher” mug, wooden apple paperweight, or box of peanut brittle at the holidays!
