by Katrin Davidsdottir Rory McKernan

“Davidsdottir maps out how she was named the games’ ‘Fittest Woman on Earth’ two years in a row, in this breezy yet high-impact memoir . . . inspiring.” —Publishers WeeklyAs one of only two women in history to have won the title of “Fittest Woman on Earth” twice, Davidsdottir knows all about the importance of mental and physical strength. She won the title in 2015, backing it up with a second win in 2016, after starting CrossFit in just 2011.A gymnast as a youth, Davidsdottir wanted to try new challenges and found a love of CrossFit. But it hasn’t been a smooth rise to the top. In 2014, just one year before taking home the gold, she didn’t qualify for the Games. She used that loss as motivation and fuel for training harder and smarter for the 2015 Games. She pushed herself and refocused her mental game. Her hard work and perseverance paid off with her return to the Games and subsequent victories in 2015 and 2016.In Dottir, Davidsdottir shares her journey with readers. She details her focus on training, goal setting, nutrition, and mental toughness.“Katrin became a champion by choice, and her story highlights what I believe above all things. That there is no magic pill. There are no superior genetics. There are no shortcuts. There is only hard work. And hard work pays off.” —Mat Fraser, three-time-defending Fittest Man on Earth“From childhood gymnastics to the CrossFit Games podium, Katrin provides tangible and relatable stories about reframing failure, striving for greatness, evolving your mindset and chasing your dreams.” —Lewis Howes, New York Times–bestselling author of The Greatest Mindset

Making a Mark!: Discovering the Power of Neurodiversity on a Learning Safari

by Katrin McElderry Mark Stoddart

Rooted in research, this educational resource combines the life story of internationally renowned sculptor Mark Stoddart with facts about neurodiversity, creating a journey of creative learning, perseverance, and triumph. Making a Mark! Discovering the Power of Neurodiversity on a Learning Safari is an educational resource in a story format. Written by Katrin McElderry and Mark Stoddart, the book highlights neurodiverse learning profiles – particularly dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and dyspraxia – while weaving in educational themes like grit and the growth mindset through its characters and their experiences. The first section of Making a Mark! Discovering the Power of Neurodiversity on a Learning Safari is written in story format. It tells the educational journey of Mark and his neurodiverse friends, from being misunderstood at school and feeling that they were failures, through to finding teachers who understood that some people learn differently and helped them to realise that with the right methods, everyone can learn. The second section provides information on how the brain works and neurodiversity and enables readers to reflect upon their own learning profiles: their strengths and challenges alike. The discussion questions at the end of the book, invite students and educators to embark on their own conversations and learning safaris together, just as the students in the story do with their teachers. Making a Mark! Discovering the Power of Neurodiversity on a Learning Safari can be read independently or to children aged 9-14. It has been carefully designed with neurodiverse students in mind, with fun cartoons and comic strip-style illustrations to break up the text and support visual reading. The book can be easily integrated into a classroom setting aimed at supporting neurodiverse students while also benefitting neurotypical learners in helping them build a balanced understanding about cognitive learning differences. Additionally, the engagement exercises provided at the back of the book make it ideal for integration into tutoring sessions or educational conferences or workshops. While there are many books out there about dyslexia, there are not many about cognitive learning differences like dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and dyspraxia that often accompany dyslexia. Moreover, there is no other book geared for students with relatable characters that teach about the fact that every single brain is unique, and therefore neurodiversity is ‘normal.’ Making a Mark! Discovering the Power of Neurodiversity on a Learning Safari will encourage all children to embark on a journey of creative learning, perseverance, and triumph.

The Wild Wisdom of Weeds: 13 Essential Plants for Human Survival

by Katrina Blair

The Wild Wisdom of Weeds is the only book on foraging and edible weeds to focus on the thirteen weeds found all over the world, each of which represents a complete food source and extensive medical pharmacy and first-aid kit. More than just a field guide to wild edibles, it is a global plan for human survival. When Katrina Blair was eleven she had a life-changing experience where wild plants spoke to her, beckoning her to become a champion of their cause. Since then she has spent months on end taking walkabouts in the wild, eating nothing but what she forages, and has become a wild-foods advocate, community activist, gardener, and chef, teaching and presenting internationally about foraging and the healthful lifestyle it promotes. Katrina Blair&’s philosophy in The Wild Wisdom of Weeds is sobering, realistic, and ultimately optimistic. If we can open our eyes to see the wisdom found in these weeds right under our noses, instead of trying to eradicate an &“invasive,&” we will achieve true food security. The Wild Wisdom of Weeds is about healing ourselves both in body and in spirit, in an age where technology, commodity agriculture, and processed foods dictate the terms of our intelligence. But if we can become familiar with these thirteen edible survival weeds found all over the world, we will never go hungry, and we will become closer to our own wild human instincts—all the while enjoying the freshest, wildest, and most nutritious food there is. For free!The thirteen plants found growing in every region across the world are: dandelion, mallow, purslane, plantain, thistle, amaranth, dock, mustard, grass, chickweed, clover, lambsquarter, and knotweed. These special plants contribute to the regeneration of the earth while supporting the survival of our human species; they grow everywhere where human civilization exists, from the hottest deserts to the Arctic Circle, following the path of human disturbance. Indeed, the more humans disturb the earth and put our food supply at risk, the more these thirteen plants proliferate. It&’s a survival plan for the ages.Including over one hundred unique recipes, Katrina Blair&’s book teaches us how to prepare these wild plants from root to seed in soups, salads, slaws, crackers, pestos, seed breads, and seed butters; cereals, green powders, sauerkrauts, smoothies, and milks; first-aid concoctions such as tinctures, teas, salves, and soothers; self-care/beauty products including shampoo, mouthwash, toothpaste (and brush), face masks; and a lot more. Whether readers are based at home or traveling, this book aims to empower individuals to maintain a state of optimal health with minimal cost and effort."Katrina Blair&’s charming and intelligent The Wild Wisdom of Weeds … delivers just about the best argument I&’ve read for the futility of figuring out what, exactly, qualifies as a native plant and why &‘invasive&’ can be a flawed concept."—New York Times&“The Wild Wisdom of Weeds is one of those rare and important books that has the capacity to radically alter your view of a world you thought you knew well. You'll never look at weeds the same again!&”--Ben Hewitt, author of The Nourishing Homestead
