Covering over 217 titles, Globe Pequot’s new season shares a tapestry of author voices from the first blush of Spring all the way through to the heart of summer. Here’s a quick tour of some of my favorite spring titles. Welcome to the Farm is a warm, witty book, written by Shaye Elliott, a new voice in the community of backyard farmers. Appealing to the farm-to-table fans and the casual gardener, Shaye offers a personal, visually inspiring guide to enriching every day life with the simple pleasures of raising your own food. (See page 3) The Orvis Fly Fishing Guide is a complete, fresh-faced update to America’s best-selling guide to fly fishing. Authored by the leading voice of the sport, Tom Rosenbauer, this Guide is a tour de force for fly fishing aficionados from starting novices to seasoned casters. Packed with over 400 photographs, step-by-step instructions and practical advice, Tom takes you through the paces of learning a sport that is an art form enjoyed, but never entirely mastered. (See page 9) Families on Foot, by Jennifer Fahr-Davis and in partnership with the American Hiking Society, delivers trail-tested advice for getting families outdoors. From backyard journeys to more adventuresome hikes, Jennifer shares how to make these experiences fun for every kid, from age two and beyond. (See page 10) This Phenomenal Life is a visually stunning, artful tour of our world, our lives and the science that weaves us together. This story is told in a wonderful, inspiring message that helps us to look at the world in a whole new way. Turning every page causes a pause, a thought and a sense of how special everyday life truly is. (See page 6) Urban Cowgirl is a sassy, sophisticated cookbook from a new talent, Sarah Penrod from Dallas, Texas. Her new book shares the life of a country girl who has made great Southern (Texan) food the center of life with family and friends. Sarah is recreating classic Texas cuisine with an elevated twist in a style she calls, the “New Modern Texan” and it’s destined to make her a welcomed cook in every kitchen, coast-to-coast.

From the vast galaxies above to the miniature microbes within, humans are organically connected to the complex cycles and mysterious processes of our universe. Every single atom of our body is made of remnants of stars and massive explosions in the galaxies, and we share the same biochemical basis of life with all living beings on earth, from a single-celled amoeba to a giant blue whale. Whimsi- cally hip illustrations elucidate wild science-based facts, from the unexpected intimacy we have with fungi on a daily basis, to the similar ways that humans and birds learn to communi- cate. Powerful evidence of our interconnection with nature combined with beautiful artwork will inspire the reader to look at the world in a whole new way. MISHA MAYNERICK BLAISE has partnered with brands such March, 2017 • Nature/General as Urban Outfitters, West Elm, CB2, Oopsy Daisy, and the 144 pages • 75 color illustrations • 8 x 8 New York Times Style Magazine.
