Dans ce carnet de route du milieu du XIXe siècle, l’explorateur français Henri Duveyrier consigne son immersion au cœur du Sahara algérien et tunisien. Entre relevés scientifiques, observations ethnographiques et impressions saisies à chaud, il dessine un portrait rare des étendues désertiques et des sociétés qu’il rencontre, notamment les Touaregs, auxquels ses notes apporteront une contribution majeure.

One year after losing her husband of many years to a sudden brain bleed, Rachael Lundin did something that made perfect sense to no one but her: she packed a floor-length gala gown, four books, and one amazing sleeping bag, and flew to Mongolia to ride 700 kilometers across the Gobi Desert on horseback. She wasn't running away. She was trying to find out if she was still there. Mongolian Love Letters is the true story of the Gobi Gallop—the longest annual charity ride on the planet—told by a woman who arrived exhausted, grieving, and uncertain she had any business being there.

Love at First Fall is a true story about what happens after everything breaks. From near-death accidents and war zones to Hollywood stunt sets, Aaron Crippen built a life around surviving the fall. As a professional stuntman and soldier, danger was routine. Failure was familiar. Pain was part of the job. But the hardest fall didn’t come from fire, combat, or concrete. It came quietly, through loss, silence, and the moment survival stopped being enough. What followed wasn’t another stunt or another deployment. It was something far more vulnerable: learning how to live without armor.
