More than 75 ways to support health and wellness with ginger and turmericLikely already sitting on your spice rack, ginger and turmeric have been culinary and medicinal staples for centuries— and for good reason. While best known for their flavor, and turmeric’s vibrant color, these spices are also rich in health benefits. Packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, ginger stimulates digestion, strengthens immunity, and helps ease motion sickness, while turmeric can help relieve migraines and even spice up your makeup regimen. Both have powerful anti- inflammatory properties.

In The Ginger & Turmeric Companion, Suzy Scherr demonstrates how to incorporate these natural wellness aids into daily life. From surprising and delicious recipes— including information on how to maximize the benefits of adding ginger and turmeric to your diet— to health and beauty secrets, she presents a fuss- free guide to these powerful spices. With Scherr’s comprehensive guidance, look no further than the spice cabinet for a feel- good, look- good way to mix up everyday routines.

A groundbreaking guide to your gut Most people understand the importance of a healthy gut microbiome for digestive health and overall wellbeing. But what about the mycobiome— the fungi that live inside our bodies? Here, Dr. Mahmoud Ghannoum introduces this important component of the microbiome and explains how diet affects this population and how its balance or imbalance can cause you to feel— a poor balance of fungi can lead to weight gain, pain and bloating, and low energy, and can worsen symptoms for those with IBS or Crohn’s.

Good news: Gut fungi respond quickly and dramatically to dietary and lifestyle changes. Within 24 hours, you can remake your mycobiome, supporting a path to weight loss, better digestion, and more energy. Alongside this accessible gut science, Ghannoum outlines fast changes for fostering healthy fungi as well as 7- and 20- day diet plans, with more than 50 dietician- tested recipes, to cultivate a thriving mycobiome and methods for tweaking your lifestyle for long- term gut health.

Experience John Wesley Powell’s now- famous expedition through the Grand CanyonIn 1869, Civil War veteran and amputee Major John Powell led an expedition down the uncharted Colorado River through the then- nameless Grand Canyon. This is the story of what started as a geological survey, but ended in danger, chaos, and blood. The men were unexperienced and ill- equipped, and they faced unimaginable peril. Along the way there was death, mutiny, and abject terror, but Powell saw it through and produced a masterwork of adventure writing still held in the highest regard by the boatmen who follow his course today.

Never- before- used primary sources and firsthand canyoneering experience combine to create an authentic and visceral account of Powell’s historic journey. Written by an accomplished river guide with experience navigating Powell’s legendary course, River Master brings to life one of America’s iconic frontier stories.

A treasury of trails that takes you to the best wild places in the Garden StateKnown more for its urban areas than its green spaces, the Garden State is actually a crossroads for major interstate trails including the Maine- to- Georgia Appalachian Trail, the 150- mile Highlands Trail, and the 60- mile Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park Trail. Hike along the Appalachian ridge or over the ragged Wyanokies, pass into pine barrens or through marshes and dunes on the coast, and you’ll see that New Jersey has so much more to offer than just cities. These 50 routes cover walks, hikes, and backpacking trips from the Kittatinnies to Cape May.

With excursions from 1.5 to 28 miles in length, accompanied by driving directions, trailhead information, difficulty ratings, and detailed maps, this roster of hikes will suit everyone from families out for a nature walk to adventurous backpackers up for challenge.
