Learn how to sit, stay, and roll over with this fully illustrated, “delightful” guide to yoga starring man’s best friend (Shutterbug magazine). Inspired by a friend’s mastiff who would imitate his master’s morning yoga routine, photographer Dan Borris created Yoga Dogs, a full-color collection of forty-five different dogs and puppies doing human yoga poses. Don’t worry: No animals were harmed during the making of these images; their extreme flexibility is the result of clever digital trickery. The curious, humorous, and distinctly original pictures are paired with useful information about the poses, as well as some funny canine meditations. “A fresh and highly entertaining visual treat,” Yoga Dogs is perfect for any yogi of the two or four-legged variety (Shutterbug magazine).

To Bruce Goldstein-an edgy, twenty-something New Yorker trying to make his mark in advertising-just waking up in the morning was an ordeal. Underemployed and recently dumped, he was well into the downward spiral of bipolar disorder. Even with therapy, lithium, Paxil, Wellbutrin, and Prozac, he could not shake his rapid mood swings, his fear of dying, or the voice of Satan, who first visited him one sunny day in Central Park. Then came Ozzy, a black Labrador pup (named after metal's "Prince of Darkness") who leads Bruce toward recovery through complete, canine dependence. From the depths of his despair to a life remade, Bruce shows how learning to care for, train, and love the hilariously loyal Ozzy provided him with the structure and focus he needed to heal.

A bundle of three standalone billionaire romcoms: Billionaire Grump, Billionaire's Dog Nanny, and Billionaire Rake. A hilarious, lighthearted binge read! Billionaire Grump A cactus-loving botanist, an Ancient Rome-obsessed grumpy billionaire, and a demonic Persian cat walk into an elevator... and almost don't make it out. One humiliating rescue later, Juno has lost her chance at the perfect plant care job, and a well-timed paparazzi photo has the world—and Lucius' ecstatic grandmother—convinced that he's finally found "the one." For a hefty sum, Juno agrees to act as Lucius' girlfriend to keep Gram happy and the billionaire groupies at bay. They both agree to keep their hands to themselves. But along come those pesky feelings... Billionaire's Dog Nanny Fueled with the power of rage, Lilly pulls up to Bruce Roxford's mansion with one goal: to finally give a piece of her mind to the billionaire jerk whose bank took her childhood home. Things get a little complicated, though, when she falls in insta-love with his adorable Chihuahua puppy. And the insane salary he's offering makes her want to shut up and take the dog nanny job she used as a ploy to get to him. Bruce's impossibly blue eyes and god-like body don't help matters, either... wait, why is she here again? On second thought, maybe revenge can wait, after all. Billionaire Rake Bookworm Jane is absolutely in love with all things historical romance, which makes her job interview at the library the opportunity of her dreams. But then it all comes (literally) crashing down, thanks to a disastrously muddy encounter with a giant sheep-like dog. The pup's rakish billionaire owner, Adrian Westfield, resolves to make it up to her when an absolutely absurd idea strikes him. She needs money. He needs custody of his baby daughter. What better plan than to make her his fake wife?

Transnational Yoga at Work: Spiritual Tourism and Its Blind Spots is an ethnography about local wageworkers in the Indian branches of a transnational yoga institution and about yoga practitioners and spiritual tourists who visualize peace through yoga. Practitioners’ aspirations for peace situate them at the heart of an international movement that has captured the imagination of cosmopolitans the world over, with its purported benefits to mind, body, and spirit. Yoga is thought to offer health, vitality, and relief from depression through control of body and breath. Yet, the vision of peace in this institution is a partial vision that obscures the important but seemingly peripheral others of its self-conception. Through in-depth ethnographic analysis, this book explores the processes through which global spiritual movements can have peace front and center in their vision and yet condone and perpetuate cycles of injustice and social inequality that form the critical and problematic foundations of our global economy. The book privileges the experiences and hardships faced by Indian wageworkers—most of them women —but it also offers a sympathetic portrayal of international yoga practitioners and of the complex patterns of work and worship central to a global mission.

Lilly An opportunity to tell off the billionaire whose bank took my childhood home? Yes, please! The greedy, arrogant jerk thinks I’m here to interview for the job of his dog trainer (a.k.a. nanny), but he’s got a big storm coming. So what if Bruce Roxford is tall, muscular, and handsome? Nothing will stop me from giving him a piece of my mind—not even his adorable Chihuahua puppy, the insane amount of money he’s offering for the gig, or his gorgeous, deep blue eyes… The combination, though? I’m in trouble. Bruce Lilly Johnson is five minutes late for our scheduled interview, and I have never hired a tardy employee. But before I can send her away, my Chihuahua puppy falls in love with her. Yes, just the Chihuahua. This woman is unprofessional, difficult, snarky… and for some reason, impossible to get off my mind. So, of course, I hire her as my live-in dog trainer. How bad of an idea could that be?

Ridgeville High is officially back in session after the summer. Fifteen-year-old Stella, who has been misunderstood, bullied, and ostracized because of her severe food allergies, is mostly a loner who is fine with being ignored by the entire student body. She is perfectly happy being a party of two with her best friend, Izzy. Unfortunately, Izzy has other ideas and is trying her best to fit in with the ever-popular, Emma, and her gaggle of minions. As Izzy slowly morphs into her new role as Emma’s sidekick, Stella retreats into her books where she always finds peace. While she deflects attacks from Emma, Stella can’t wait for the day she gets to leave this small town knowing she just doesn’t fit in. Meanwhile, Stella’s dad suggests that she volunteer at the local animal shelter, and although not necessarily in her nature to embrace new adventures, Stella decides to give it a try. As she makes new friends, in both human and dog form, will Stella finally see the light at the end of the high school tunnel? In this inspiring story, a teen who has been misunderstood and bullied for life-threatening food allergies finds the courage to trust herself after gaining strength from some heartwarming rescue dogs. Jen Winans’ debut novel addresses a number of young adult issues of today and effectively weaves in constructive guidance for her readers that they can apply to challenges in their own lives. It was a fast and entertaining read with fun, engaging and complex characters and a compelling story. ~Victoria L I couldn’t put this book down. The book captures the ups and downs of the teenage years while also navigating a severe allergy. I feel that any age can resonate with this book and learn to empathize with the struggles that others possess. I can’t wait for her next book. ~ Tiffany E
