**SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER** Discover the world as you've never seen
it before - through the eyes of animals 'Immersive and
mind-blowing' Peter Wohlleben, author of The Hidden Life of Trees
The Earth teems with sights and textures, sounds and vibrations,
smells and tastes, electric and magnetic fields. But every animal
is enclosed within its own unique sensory bubble, perceiving only a
tiny sliver of this world. In An Immense World, Ed Yong coaxes us
beyond the confines of our own senses, welcoming us into previously
unfathomable dimensions - the world as it is truly perceived by
other animals. Showing us that in order to understand our world we
don't need to travel to other places; we need to see through other
eyes. A NEW YORK TIMES, GUARDIAN, ECONOMIST, SPECTATOR, TIMES

"It's a pillar," says one. "It's a fan," says another. One by one, the seven blind mice investigate the strange Something by the pond. And one by one, they come back with a different theory. It's only when the seventh mouse goes out-and explores the whole Something-that the mice see the whole truth. Based on a classic Indian tale, Ed Young's beautifully rendered version is a treasure to enjoy again and again.
"Immensely appealing." (The Horn Book, starred review)
From revered nature writer Brenda Peterson and told through
striking and vibrant mixed-media collages by Caldecott Medalist Ed
Young, Catastrophe by the Sea is a poignant story of redemption
through empathy and compassion found in the most surprising places,
and also provides a rich understanding of small creatures that live
in a dangerous tidal zone. A lost cat roams the tide pools, pawing
relentlessly at the small creatures that live there. One day an
anemone confronts him and asks why he is alone and befriends him.
In partnership with the Seattle Aquarium, Catastrophe by the Sea
delivers a powerful message of finding understanding and
friendship, and at the same time educates on the varied wildlife
brimming in tide pools. “For several years, the Seattle Aquarium
has studied the role of empathy in promoting conservation. Empathy
is the ability to perceive, understand and care about the
experiences or perspectives of another person or animal. We most
often feel empathy for other people, but we can also feel empathy
for animals. This led us to the idea of a children’s book.
Animals are regular protagonists in children’s books, but these
characters are primarily vertebrates and often charismatic mammals.
Could we create a book that would allow kids and their caregivers
to empathize with strange and exotic marine animals, like sea
anemones or barnacles? We hope this book strikes a chord with
audiences and fosters empathy for animals less like us.” --Jim
Wharton, director of conservation engagement and learning at the
Seattle Aquarium
"Not for the faint-hearted, "Lon Po Po" (Grandmother Wold), is a
tale of a menacing danger and courage....(Young's) command of page
composition and his sensitive use of color give the book a visual
force that matches the strength of the story and stands as one of
the illustrator's best efforts." --"Booklist" "Absolutely
splendid." -- "Kirkuse Reviews." "An extraordinary and powerful
book." -- "Publisher's Weekly"
In this retelling of the Indian fable, seven blind mice discover different parts of an elephant and argue about its appearance.
THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER FROM THE WINNER OF THE 2021 PULITZER
PRIZE Your body is teeming with tens of trillions of microbes. It's
an entire world, a colony full of life. In other words, you contain
multitudes. They sculpt our organs, protect us from diseases, guide
our behaviour, and bombard us with their genes. They also hold the
key to understanding all life on earth. In I Contain Multitudes, Ed
Yong opens our eyes and invites us to marvel at ourselves and other
animals in a new light, less as individuals and more as thriving
ecosystems. You'll never think about your mind, body or preferences
in the same way again. 'Super-interesting... He just keeps
imparting one surprising, fascinating insight after the next. I
Contain Multitudes is science journalism at its best' Bill Gates

ROYAL SOCIETY SCIENCE BOOK PRIZE 2017
This is a translation of the popular book that tells the tale of
how seven blind mice have different versions of what is in front of
them, depending on what they feel, until the last mouse brings
consensus and together they conclude it is an elephant. Written in
rhyming verse, Uribe's translation is impeccable and flows well,
convincingly presenting the moral of the story. This is an
essential addition for school and public library folklore
collections.Maria Mena, LeRoy Collins Leon Cty. P.L., Tallahassee,

A book to treasure from Caldecott Medal winning illustrator Ed
Young. How may ways can you think of to say "I love you"? This
personally-inspired poem by an award-winning author and artist
celebrates the trials and triumphs of unconditional love. Using an
innovative mix of cut paper, photographs, and calligraphy, Should
You Be a River takes the reader on a breathtaking journey and
honors the universal statement: Should you need me, I will be
there. This book is a gift to treasure and share with all loved
ones--young and old alike
Marriage is God's idea. He planned it. He designed it. And if
you follow His blueprint, it will be more rewarding, more loving,
more exciting than you ever imagined.
In "10 Commandments of Marriage," Dr. Ed Young shares the "thou
shalts" and the "thou shalt nots" of successful relationships -
straight from the pages of God's Word. Long-married couples will
find love-building precepts that will revive a failing marriage and
make a great relationship even better. Soon-to-be-marrieds will
discover what marriage is all about, and gain priceless insights
into starting on solid ground.
In words that are profound, often humorous, but always biblical,
Dr. Young draws from decades of counseling couples to provide 10
commandments for a lifelong marriage that sizzles. God wants your
marriage to be nothing short of incredible. And it could begin with
this amazing book.
According to Beth Moore (bestselling author and speaker), "The
10 Commandments of Marriage not only tells you 'what.' Thankfully,
it tells you 'how.' Ed Young has taken the principles of Scripture
and has had the courage to test them on the linoleum glued to
average life on planet earth."
