A WINNING PORTRAIT OF AMERICA AT ITS WEIRDEST.

In a STARRED Review from Publishers Weekly, THE SECRET HISTORY OF BIGFOOT is an "amusing and thoughtful debut" and is a " winning portrait of America at its weirdest."

THE SECRET HISTORY OF BIGFOOT is available for preorder now wherever books are sold.

From the shrouded forests of the Pacific Northwest to off-the-wall cryptozoological conventions, one man searches high and low for the answer to the question: real or not, why do we want to believe?

Journalist and writer John O’Connor takes readers on a narrative quest through the American wilds in search of Bigfoot, its myth and meaning. Inhabited by an eccentric cast of characters – reputable men of science and deluded charlatans alike – the book explores the zany and secretive world of “cryptozoology,” tracking Bigfoot from the Wild Men of Native American and European lore to Harry and the Hendersons, while examining the forces behind our ever-widening belief in the supernatural.

By turns an ardent, philosophical defense of nature, investigation into what Kurt Andersen calls our peculiar “American appetites for immersive make-believe,” and a gonzo trip into alternative reality, this is the story of our Bigfoot obsession – where it comes from, what it means today – and the people driving it. Tag along with O’Connor as he treks through the shrouded forests of the Pacific Northwest, studies indigenous legends, and attends off-the-wall cryptozoological conventions.

Perfect for readers of Bill Bryson and Douglas Preston and with sharp wit and an adventurous spirit, this heartfelt exploration of a cornerstone of American folklore unpacks why we believe in the things that we do, and what that says about us.

An unforgettable journey into our ancient past, containing powerful lessons to learn about our future...

Today there are 20 million species on our planet. Yet what we see is just a snapshot in time. 99% of earth's inhabitants are lost to our deep past. The story of what happened to these lineages—their rise and their fall—is truly remarkable.

It tells the story of life's epic battle to conquer and survive on Earth, showing in a new light what's been lost to us, and how life's future is now being written by us. From ancient ocean worlds and plant life's first forays onto land, to the rise and fall of the dinosaurs and the devastation of the last Ice Age, this is a sweeping view of evolution, through five extinctions and, with the arrival of humans on earth, the beginning of the sixth...

With over 200 photos and images from the series created by the team behind the original Planet Earth series, including remarkable CGI reconstructions, this is an unforgettable journey into our ancient past, containing powerful lessons to learn about our future.

HOW TO TALK TO TALK TO KIDS ABOUT ANYTHING by Dr. Robyn Silverman is available now, wherever books are sold!

A quintessential guide for discussing big topics with small humans.

“When people die, where do they go?”

“Why is her skin darker than mine?”

“But how does the baby get in there?”

Don’t panic. While we know that the first step to connecting deeply with our kids is being able to communicate, empathize, and answer their biggest queries, what do you do when that tricky-to-answer question comes out of the blue? Sometimes we just don’t know what to say, so we simply change the subject or give a quick, throwaway answer—and hope it doesn’t come up again.

Dr. Robyn Silverman, host of the How to Talk to Kids About Anything Parenting Podcast, gets it. A child development specialist and mom, she’ll stick with you every step of the way. In this book, Dr. Robyn takes you through the whole spectrum of kids’ curious questions, giving you the strategies and scripts to prepare you for life’s most challenging conversations. That way your kids get age-appropriate information straight from you, their trusted source, rather than from peers, the media, or the internet. You’ll learn how to develop calm, well-thought-out answers to tricky questions.
