Mindessence contains ideas and methods to deepen our understanding of life and death and bring us to a realisation of our true nature. To the author, the idea that some of us are somehow 'sane' and some 'insane, ' is false, he believes we are all absolutely sane - it is just a matter of degree. What Society calls 'mental illness' Tony Caves calls Perplexity. Transparency is the name he gives to a state of freedom from Perplexity. Transparency gives us space in which to experience Mindessence which is a state of dynamic ease and relaxed alertness beyond ordinary notions of sanity. The book explores the ways in which we are conditioned by society, through our upbringing and education, to live and die in a dream world of our own making. It then explores methods for de-conditioning ourselves through simple techniques, such as the use of static and moving Meditation, to help us become aware of our vast and timeless Heartmind and to plant the seeds of Transparency which then flower into Mindessence.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor and award-winning artist Rafael Lopez create a kind and caring book about the differences that make each of us unique. A #1 New York Times bestseller! Winner of the Schneider Family Book Award! Feeling different, especially as a kid, can be tough. But in the same way that different types of plants and flowers make a garden more beautiful and enjoyable, different types of people make our world more vibrant and wonderful. In Just Ask, United States Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor celebrates the different abilities kids (and people of all ages) have. Using her own experience as a child who was diagnosed with diabetes, Justice Sotomayor writes about children with all sorts of challenges--and looks at the special powers those kids have as well. As the kids work together to build a community garden, asking questions of each other along the way, this book encourages readers to do the same: When we come across someone who is different from us but we're not sure why, all we have to do is Just Ask.

The debut novel from Adi Alsaid, acclaimed author of Never Always Sometimes, North of Happy, and We Didn’t Ask for This Five strangers. 4,286 miles. One epic adventure. Hudson, Bree, Elliot, and Sonia have only one thing in common: a girl named Leila. On a mission to see the Northern lights, Leila drives from Louisiana to Alaska, crashing into each of their lives in her absurdly red car. From prom night disasters to first loves and family weddings, Leila’s cross-country adventure helps each of these four find something that was missing. But no journey is complete without a destination—and for Leila, the end of her trip might just bring her right back to the beginning. Back to the truth she knew all along: that perhaps, the only way to find what you’re looking for is to get a little lost along the way. “Reminiscent of John Green’s Paper Towns, Alsaid’s debut is a gem among contemporary YA novels.” —School Library Journal
