We're pleased to welcome Sunny Massad, President and Founder of the Hawaii Wellness Institute, originator of UnTherapy: a conscious alternative to traditional counseling, and author of Un-Therapy: A Postive Psychology for Enlightened Living. What IS UnTherapy? A model of consciousness that celebrates the resilience of the uman spirit, dispelling the notions that emotional wounds inevitably result in emotional rippling or that “working on yourself” is necessarily productive! What will she do here? She’s stopping at Eagle Harbor as part of her Pacific Coast Book Tour to provide a free reading, free workshop and book signing. | ||

An Indie-Next Selection for February 2010! Told with humor and compassion this memoir is both an inspiration and a delightful read. Peterson’s Southern Baptist relatives prepared her for the coming rapture in which the natural world would be left behind, while her father, a forest ranger, immersed her in the natural world, taught her to love and appreciate the beauty of this world. The conflict is beautifully presented in which Peterson becomes deeply immersed in the ecology of this planet, while trying to also share the enthusiasm of her beloved fundamentalist relatives who would ignore the natural world and focus on the rapture instead. The characters are described with care and grace in such a manner that the reader is left with affection for all of them. Peterson is an award winning nature writer and novelist, and the author of numerous fiction and non-fiction books. In addition her writing has appeared in many journalistic publications and she is an environmental commentator to both Seattle NPR radio stations. | ||

Recipient of the 2010 PNBA Book Award. The novel begins with a family tragedy involving a senseless murder. The characters are developed with care and tenderness, as each family member’s attempts to cope with the tragedy in his or her own way. Ultimately, faced with a growing sense that vengeance won’t stop her pain, the mother takes the extraordinary and clandestine step of reaching out to her son’s killer while he is awaiting execution for the crime. The two forge an unlikely connection that remains a secret from her family and friends. Dramatic, wrenching, and ultimately uplifting, THE CRYING TREE is an unforgettable book about the unbreakable bonds of family and the transformative power of forgiveness.

Arborist and wearer of many hats in the field of horticulture—including Extension Urban Horticulturist and Associate Professor of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture at WSU—Linda Chalker-Scott discusses the new, updated edition of The Informed Gardener, which won the Best Book Prize from the Garden Writers Association. Chalker’s work serves to remind us that urban and suburban landscapes are ecosystems requiring their own particular set of management practices. Her advice, based on more than twenty years of experience in the field of plant physiology, has helped home gardeners, landscape architects, and nursery and landscape professionals to develop scientifically based sustainable landscaping practices. “Linda Chalker-Scott is a scientist with a mission —–evidence-based gardening. Happily, she is also the most interesting, entertaining, knowledgeable, and useful garden writer I've come across.

Expert on regional history and a historian at the Museum of History and Industry in Seattle, Lorraine McConaghy visits to discuss her book, which traces the warship USS Decatur’s five-year tour in the mid-1850s including stops in Honolulu, San Francisco, and Central America as well as Puget Sound. Using a rich record of logbooks, medical and punishment records, correspondence, personal journals, and drawings, McConaghy presents the ship and its crew in a vigorous, keenly rendered case study that illuminates the forces shaping America's antebellum navy and foreign policy in the Pacific. Her book includes a Seattle war story that contested American treaties and settlements.
One of only five ships in the squadron, the Decatur participated in | ||
