From the New York Times bestselling author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom The Secret Pleasures of Menopause Playbook picks up where The Secret Pleasures of Menopause left off. In this companion volume (which Dr. Christiane Northrup calls a “playbook” as opposed to a workbook), scores of midlife women share the nitty-gritty details about how they incorporate the fun, pleasurable,and health-enhancing ideas outlined in Secret Pleasures into their own lives. Their glowing, poignant, insightful, straight-from-the-heart stories beautifully illustrate the empowering truth that daring to expand joy and pleasure in your life (despite what our culture teaches us) is actually the key to creating vibrant health physically, emotionally, and spiritually—including enjoying the best sex of your life! But that’s just the beginning. This Playbook is designed as your personal guide to deliberately attracting and experiencing more health-giving, life-sustaining joy and pleasure into your own life. At the end of each chapter, Dr. Northrup provides space for you to choose options, record your own ideas, and then commit to creating your own personal heaven on earth.

American Royalty First she discovers she's the secret daughter of the American president, then she falls for a British prince. Ariella Winthrop's life can't get much more complicated. Or can it? Having fun with Simon Worth—passionate meetings, hiding their attraction from the public—is one thing. But getting serious? The British monarchy certainly doesn't want their beloved prince dating an American, much less one with her fair share of scandals. But when Ariella discovers she's pregnant with a royal baby, all bets are off. This woman is fighting for what is hers.

"These things are real: desert, rocks, shelter, legend" (Judith Fryer). Coyote's Canyon evokes the beauty and mystery of southern Utah's desert canyons--home to Navajo and to the Anasazi who came before, and spiritual homeland to the Coyote Clan, thousands of individuals who draw nourishment from this land. This collaboration between photographer John Telford and writer Terry Tempest Williams is an intimate meditation on one of the earth's most extraordinary landscapes. Telford's spectacular color photographs of the region's canyons, mesas, hidden waterways, arches, Anasazi cliff dwellings, and desert vistas are rich with the reflected ligh that elevates rock into sculpture. Tempest Williams' stories celebrate the legend and ritual surrounding this sacred place, creating a compelling new mythology for desert lovers--persons quietly subversive in the name of the land. Taken together, these photographs and words are an invitation, an initiation into the desert's sanctuary of secrets--Coyote's Canyon. photographs throughout
