    SCB FALL 2020 SCB: TRULY INDEPENDENT To our publishers, sales representatives, authors, customers, staff, friends and everyone in our distribution network: We want you to know we look forward to this Fall 2020 season, the next and the next and beyond, as we rise to the challenges of how Covid-19 will affect the future of bookselling. As we experience this new landscape together, we also want you to know: YOU make us strong. With your support, SCB has successfully surfed every dramatic change in the publishing business over the last 30 years. We also credit our loyal, long-tenured staff (with 150+ combined years), as well as the diligence and sincerity each one of us brings to our beloved profession. We’re one of a kind because you’re one of a kind. Thank you, and stay well, Aaron Silverman and Molly Maguire SCB: TRULY INDEPENDENT The cover image for this catalog is from the book The Works of Hayao Miyazaki: The Master of Japanese Animation, by Gael Berton, published by Third Editions, and found on page 15 of this catalog. Catalog layout by Dan Nolte, based on an original idea by Rama Crouch-Wong. I’ll Fly Away By Rudy Francisco In this stunning, intimate follow-up to Helium, Francisco’s poems savor the day-to-day. Treating the ordinary as worthy of worship, he turns each moment into an opportunity to plant new seeds of growth. He even creates his own words for the things our language cannot give name to, for example: “Felenter (Noun) Definition: Someone who finds joy in things that people believe to be mundane.” There aren’t enough songs about minding your own business or staying home on a Saturday because you think most people are exhausting, but I do believe that we deserve an anthem.

    Prayer of Peace by Ilchi Lee I offer this prayer of peace Help us all go beyond Not to the Christian God Our small limits Nor to the Buddhist God And realize that we are one Nor to the Islamic God That we are all from the earth. Nor to the Jewish God That we are all earth people But to the God of all humanity before we are Indians, Koreans, or Americans For the peace that we wish for God made the earth Is Not a Christian peace We humans have to make it prosper Nor a Buddhist peace By realizing that we are of the earth Nor an Islamic peace And not of any nation, race, or religion. Nor a Jewish peace By knowing that we are truly one But a human peace In our spiritual heritage. For all of us. Let us now apologize I offer this prayer of peace to all humanity To the God that lives within all of us For the hurt that religions have caused That fills us with happiness and joy So that we can heal the hurt To make us whole Let us now promise to one another And help us understand life To go beyond egotism and competition As an expression of love for all human beings To come together as one in God. For no religion can be better I offer this prayer of peace Than any other religion To you the almighty For no truth can be truer To help us find you within all of us Than any other truth So that we may stand proudly one day before you For no nation can be bigger As one humanity.

  • FOR SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION of the Sdgs
    World Peace Leadership Program JULY 30th to AUGUST 5th, 2016 UNITED NATIONS YOUTH HEADQUARTERS & THE CATSKILLS, MENTAL NEW YORK WELLBEING FOR SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SDGs MEDIA KIT www.ibreafoundation.org/youthconference Introduction 1.8 billion of our world’s population today is between the ages of 10 and 24, and half of the world’s population is under 30. Despite such a huge number and the great potential changes they could make to advance the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), today’s youth is largely dissatisfied and unmotivated. Concentrated mostly in developing countries, and suffering from huge unemployment rates and lack of education, more often than not, they resort to measures such as protest, violence, school dropouts, illegal migration, and in some cases fall victims of rape, unwanted pregnancies, domestic violence or human trafficking. So the question begs, how can we channel that great, powerful, young energy, towards more productive action? It can take a long time to fix the existing unhealthy systems to provide a better environment for our youth. However, there is a lot that can be done right away through changes in the youth’s and the surrounding communities’ mentality. By nurturing their confidence and positive outlook, young people will gradually build up a strong mindset that can encourage them in the face of challenge. The Organizer IBREA foundation is committed to the goal of including youth as solid partners for the implementation of the SDGs. IBREA’s work focuses on unleashing the brain’s great po- tential, leading to better health, increased motivation, emotion- al wellbeing, and enhanced purpose and concentration.
