A cognitive psychologist and respected martial art instructor brings to life the Animals of Ch'ien-lung, and how to live the martial art philosophy--on and off the mat! This martial art belongs to everyone, not just for self-defense but as a force for healing. Keen on detail, big in scope, Unleash the Dragon Within shows how to tap into the Cat and Snake aspects of your mind and body. When you combine the movement, breath and meditation of a Cat with a Snake you create the Dragon, bringing all you are to your athletic performance, spiritual practices and even your sexual relationships.

We now have signed first edition, first printing copies of A Moving Inquiry, signed in-person by author Beth Pettengill Riley.

Is it possible to remain connected to the wholeness of embodied experience, as modern life becomes increasingly disembodied, fragmented and fast-moving? Many people hunger for a meaningful movement practice, but struggle to find it. The movement practice offered in this book is an inquiry into the nature of human flourishing. Our lives are made of movements, and bringing an organizing consciousness to our moment-by-moment experience opens a flow of intelligence from the natural world through our senses and tissues. Instead of living “on the surface,” we can know ourselves as part of nature’s body, connected to nature’s life force. This book is a guide to establishing a personal movement practice that can serve as the foundation of daily life, with the body itself as teacher.

We now have signed copies available of Last Stop on Market Street, signed in-person by illustrator Christian Robinson at our in-store event with him on December 6th, 2019.

"San Francisco, in all its bustling eccentricity, comes alive in this moving homage by Matt de la Peña. CJ is taking the bus down to Market Street with his Nana and he’s dragging his heels. Why don’t they have a car? Why do they have to go at all? But with a few knowing words from Nana, CJ remembers to look around at the surprising city wonders: a man with a guitar who strums them a tune, a woman with a magical jar of butterflies on her lap, and their friends from all walks of life who greet them along the way. Robinson brings a joyous mix of bright acrylic and collage art to an important and unique story." - Tera, Bookshop Santa Cruz Children's Dept. Staff

We now have signed first edition, first printing copies of Furious Hours: Murder, Fraud, and the Last Trial of Harper Lee, signed on the title page by author Casey Cep.

"When Harper Lee learned of the vigilante murder of Reverend Willie Maxwell, the many deaths that preceded his, and the lawyer who both defended him and his assailant, she knew she’d found the story she wanted to write, a true crime narrative with an underlying complexity of race, place, and politics. Almost 50 years later, Casey Cep has realized the same in her first book, a remarkable work of nonfiction that distills extensive research into a broad, insightful exploration of not only the reverend and his lawyer but of Harper Lee, her drive, her demons, and the book she never finished." - Melinda, Bookshop Santa Cruz Head Book Buyer
