Reimagining Success As a Disabled Achiever

Sipping Dom Pérignon Through a Straw is an inspirational and truly intersectional memoir from global humanitarian and disability-justice advocate Eddie Ndopu--a queer, Black wheelchair user. Ndopu's incredible story begins with his childhood being raised by a single mother fleeing Apartheid South Africa before rocketing through every boundary put in front of him--because of his disability, his ethnicity, and his sexuality--to eventually hold official positions at both the United Nations and the World Economic Forum. Ndopu was born with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), a rare degenerative motor-neuron disease, and was told that he wouldn't live beyond age five. Now 30 years old and stronger than ever, he continues to celebrate each turn around the sun as an existential defiance of the odds. It's not only the medical community he's thwarted--it's the educational one, too. Blessed with an exceptional mind and razor-sharp wit to match, Ndpou fought his way through the ableist school system of his youth to eventually become the first-ever disabled African to be given a full scholarship to Oxford University. But bias exists at even the highest echelons of power and prestige--sometimes, it's even worse. Faced with inadequate caretakers and forced to raise the money for his own accommodations Ndopu was egregiously neglected at one of the top schools in the world and realized that he would have to tear down society's pretension of accessibility--both physical and mental--and rebuild it from scratch. Ndopu's lifetime spent pushing against barriers leads him to more than a decade advocating for the rights of people with disabilities. In his memoir, Sipping Dom Pérignon Through a Straw, Ndopu shares paradigm-shifting stories that expand the boundaries of identity and ability, proving to readers of every color, class, and ability that you can be both profoundly disabled and profoundly successful. Set between the World Economic Forum and years zooming through the halls of Oxford, Ndopu makes the surprising and heartbreaking discovery that even when one does everything to scale the mountain of success, exclusion, discrimination, and neglect often still lie in wait on the other side. And with beautiful, evocative prose, Ndopu invites readers--especially from marginalized communities--to break free of the confines of their character and demand that the world sees them in the way that they see themselves, to stop climbing mountains and start moving them instead.

Thirty Great Gardeners Reveal Why They Garden

Why do you garden? For fun? Work? Food? The reasons to garden are as unique as the gardener. The Roots of My Obsession features thirty essays from the most vital voices in gardening, exploring the myriad motives and impulses that cause a person to become a gardener. For some, it’s the quest to achieve a personal vision of ultimate beauty; for others, it’s a mission to heal the earth, or to grow a perfect peach. The essays are as distinct as their authors, and yet each one is direct, engaging, and from the heart. For Doug Tallamy, a love of plants is rooted first in a love of animals: “animals with two legs (birds), four legs (box turtles, salamanders, and foxes), six legs (butterflies and beetles), eight legs (spiders), dozens of legs (centipedes), hundreds of legs (millipedes), and even animals with no legs (snakes and pollywogs).” For Rosalind Creasy, it’s “not the plant itself; it’s how you use it in the garden.” And for Sydney Eddison, the reason has changed throughout the years. Now, she “gardens for the moment.” As you read, you may find yourself nodding your head in agreement, or gasping in disbelief. What you’re sure to encounter is some of the best writing about the gardener’s soul ever to appear. For anyone who cherishes the miracle of bringing forth life from the soil, The Roots of My Obsession is essential inspiration.

Having the Life You Want by Being Present to the Life You Have

The Book of Awakening, a cult favorite since its original publication in 2000, catapaulted to fame in 2010 after it was chosen as one of Oprah Winfrey's favorite things. This gift edition with sewn binding and a ribbon marker reflects the book's odyssey as a well-beloved daily companion. Mark Nepo wrote the book more than a decade ago, in response to his journey through cancer a decade before that. That experience led him to create a day book not only for people going through life-threatening situations but for everyone.

Nepo calls it, "a book to help people meet their days and inhabit their lives. I had a commitment to create a book that could serve up inner food, that could be turned to as a spiritual first aid kit." That this book continued to find its readers affirms its quality as a life affirming companion. Again, in Nepo's words, "I think it confirms the yearning of people everywhere for meaningful and humble work that invites readers on a journey together. The premise of the book is that people everywhere have a wisdom of their own and the book is there to guide them to their own wisdom."

The Book of Awakening is a modern classic, speaking to the hearts of hundreds of thousands of readers. It's a daily guide for living in hard times and good times, all the time reminding us that the life we're living is the life we have. Lived authentically it can and does become the life we want.

This hardcover edition features a ribbon marker and a subject index that allows the reader to search for quotes and inspiration pertinent to his or her life not only by day but my category.
