ERIC HARRISON

established the Perth


Meditation Centre in
1987 and has since taught
25,000 how to meditate.
He has worked extensively
in the corporate world,
and his books have been
translated in 14 languages.
Eric has specialized in
the use of mindfulness
for anxiety and clarity of
thought. He is an ordinary
Western skeptic who
believes that science and
critical thinking give us
the best tools available for
understanding the mind.

A landmark event: The first fresh


translation in 130 years of the original
Buddhist text upon which the modern
mindfulness movement draws its
authority
Usually translated as The Foundations of
Mindfulness, the Satipatthana Sutta is recognized as
the original How to Meditate and Be Mindful DIY
manual, taken from the teachings of the Buddha
himself 2,500 years ago. Just a few pages long,
with 21 recommended practices, this tremendously
influential guide provides the authority for the
worldwide practice of mindfulness today.
Now, Eric Harrison, who for nearly 30 years has
taught meditation and mindfulness to a thousand
people a year, presents what is almost certainly
the first translation of the Sutta prepared not by an
academic or monkand in so doing, outfits every
contemporary mindfulness practitioner with the
richest-possible understanding of the practice.
The Foundations of Mindfulness is for every
keen meditator who feels confused by the popular
mindfulness literature; psychologists wanting
to know more about the original sources of the
practice; researchers struggling to define the
phenomenon; and Western Buddhists who have
not yet tackled the Sutta. With this book, novices
and experienced meditators alike can now bring
authentic mindfulness practices into their lives.

Here is a wide-ranging adventure in becoming


a citizen scientist by an award-winning writer
and environmental thought leader. As Mary Ellen
Hannibal wades into tide pools, follows hawks, and
scours mountains to collect data on threatened
species, she discovers the power of a heroic cast of
volunteersand the makings of what may be our last
hope in slowing an unprecedented mass extinction.
Digging deeply, Hannibal traces todays techenabled citizen science movement to its roots: the
centuries-long tradition of amateur observation by
writers and naturalists. Prompted by her novelist
fathers sudden death, she also examines her own
pastand discovers a family legacy of looking
closely at the world. With unbending zeal for
protecting the planet, she then turns her gaze to
the wealth of species left to fight for.
Combining original reporting, meticulous
research, and memoir in impassioned prose, Citizen
Scientist is a literary event, a blueprint for action,
and the story of how one woman rescued herself
from an odyssey of losswith a new kind of science.

MARY ELLEN HANNIBAL is an emerging voice in


environmentalism and a sought-after speaker connecting the
scientific community to the public. Her writing has appeared in The

Developmental and clinical psychologist Diane


Ehrensaft, PhD, has devoted her career to children
and teens who do not abide by the gender binary.
In her first book, Gender Born, Gender Made, she
coined the phrase gender creative.
Now she gives families, teachers, and therapists
a totally up-to-date, comprehensive resource
to caring for children whose gender expression
is fluid or who question the gender they were
assigned at birth. In nine easily digestible chapters,
she encourages both parents and professionals
to listen to the children, support their quest for
their authentic gender selves, undertake a highly
nuanced assessment of their particular needs, and
advocate for a gender-expansive world.
Dr. Ehrensaft illuminates the many routes that
children may take and answers the many questions
that parents and others will have.

Should be required reading for all therapists, pediatricians,


and K12 educators and for parents whose children express
their gender differently.

Transgender People
