The Story of Leo the Lion
The constellation called Leo looks like a lion, and many people recall the story of the Nemean Lion from Greek mythology when they see it. The Nemean Lion was a man-eating beast that no weapon could harm. Only one man could discover a way to kill it: the hero Hercules. This accessible, entertaining volume tells the story of Hercules and his battle with the infamous lion as well as instructs readers about when they can see Leo for themselves in the night sky.

In the Valleys of the Noble Beyond
This evocative work of nature writing traverses the world’s largest temperate rainforest to uncover the legend of the Sasquatch. Canada’s Great Bear Rainforest is home to trees as tall as skyscrapers and moss as thick as carpet. According to the people who live there, another giant may dwell in these woods. For centuries, locals have reported encounters with the Sasquatch—a species of hairy man-ape that could inhabit this pristine wilderness.

Soon, he finds himself on quest for something infinitely more complex, cutting across questions of human perception, scientific inquiry, Indigenous traditions, the environment, and the power of the human imagination to believe in—or to outright dismiss—one of nature’s last great mysteries.
