Twisting FateMy Journey with BRCA—from Breast Cancer Doctor to Patient and BackPAMELA N. MUNSTER, MD FOREWORD BY SIDDHARTHA MUKHERJEE, MD
A practical yet personal guide to the medical and emotional facets of breast cancer, from a woman who’s made her living researching the disease—and lived through it herself
A leading oncologist at the University of California
San Francisco, Dr. Pamela N. Munster has advised
countless women on how to deal with the life-
altering diagnosis of breast cancer. But when
she got a call saying that her own mammogram
showed “irregularities,” she found herself
experiencing a whole new side of the disease she
thought she was an expert in.
Weaving together her personal story with her
team’s groundbreaking research on the BRCA
gene—responsible for not only breast cancer but
also for many other inherited cancers affecting
women and men—Twisting Fate is an inspiring
guide to living with BRCA mutations. With
authority, insight, and compassion, Dr. Munster
uses her voice to create a safe space for genuine
healing and honesty in a world otherwise
dominated by fear.

Good VibrationsThe Bridges Between Music and MindfulnessRICHARD WOLF
The journey to a joyous practice of mindfulness can begin with something as natural and effortless as counting along to the beat of your favorite song
As anyone who has ever taken a music lesson
knows, the key to playing well is practice. In
Good Vibrations, Richard Wolf explains how the
experiences, skills, and habits that are cultivated in
musical practice can be successfully transferred to
mindfulness practice.
He shows how this applies to anyone who
participates in an endeavor that requires training
or practice, especially one that advances harmony between mind and body—such as martial arts,
dancing, or athletics.
Laying the foundation for twelve “bridges”
between the two practices—including Dedication,
Concentration, Patience & Perseverance,
and Silence—and using anecdotes of personal
encounters (Miles Davis, Allen Ginsberg, Ravi
Coltrane, among others) and a broad repertoire
of meditation and awareness training methods,
Wolf keeps the reader engaged and inspired as
they progress down their own path to deeper awareness, well-being, and creativity.

she give her child?
• How grown children can approach their
mothers now.

But My Family Would Never Eat Vegan!125 Recipes to Win Everyone OverKRISTY TURNER PHOTOGRAPHS BY CHRIS MILLER
125 satisfying, stress-free recipes for plant-based family meals—no excuses!
In But I Could Never Go Vegan! (126,000 in print),
Kristy Turner proved that anyone can do it—but
cooking vegan for the whole family presents its
own challenges . . . or does it?
Now, the 125 recipes in But My Family Would
Never Eat Vegan! will leave even the most skeptical
relatives begging for more. Like its predecessor,
each chapter tackles a different objection:
• Don’t have time to cook elaborate dinners? Try
an easy solution: Quick Cauliflower Curry.
• Worried about the “meat and potatoes” eaters?
Try Lazy Vegan Chile Relleno Casserole.
• Cooking for picky eaters? Try the ever-
adaptable BLT Summer Rolls with Avocado.
Turner’s cheeky, inviting tone and satisfying,
easy-to-follow recipes make it more possible than
ever for families to dine happily together!
“Proof that plant-based food can occupy a celebrated place on any family’s table.”

What the heck is a dot journal? It’s a planner, to-do
list, and diary for every aspect of your life: work,
home, relationships, hobbies, everything.

how to make a dot journal work for you—whether
you find the picture-perfect examples on Pinterest

simple or elaborate your journal will be, and what
goes in there:
• Lists of your to-dos, to-don’ts, and more
• Symbols that will make those lists efficient
and effective
• Spreads to plan your day, week, month, or year
• Trackers for your habits and goals (health,
money, travel)
• Accessories such as washi tape, book darts,
and more!

SeafurrersThe Ships’ Cats Who Lapped and Mapped the WorldPHILIPPA SANDALL ILLUSTRATED BY AD LONG
A cat’s–eye view of maritime history
We remember the bold seafarers of yore—from
Magellan to Shackleton—for their extraordinary
exploits: new lands discovered, storms weathered,
and battles won. But somehow history has
neglected the stalwart, hardworking species who
made it all possible . . . yes, the noble cat!
In Seafurrers, able sea cat Bart sets the record
straight at last. “Fear of water” aside, cats were
indispensable at sea—both as pest controllers and
as beloved mascots. Thirty-eight tales recount the
adventures of cats around the world, including:
• Trim (who circumnavigated Australia)
• Tom (the sole feline survivor of the sinking of
the USS Maine)
• Simon (a veteran of the Yangtze Incident)
Filled with nautical trivia, rare photographs,
and whimsical illustrations, this deft genealogy of
human-feline friendship will stir your regard for
the incomparable cat.
“At last! A history of cats of the sea. Long overdue, this book is as exquisite as a bowl of milk or a nice, plump ship’s mouse.” — Schooner the cat, as told to maritime archaeologist, author, and explorer JAMES DELGADO

furry animals!
