design by NAYELI JIMENEZ Greystone Books is committed to reducing the consumption of old-growth forests in the books it publishes. This catalogue is one step toward that goal. We acknowledge the support of the Canada Council for the Arts, which last year invested $153 million to bring the arts to Canadians throughout the country; the British Columbia Arts Council and the Province of British Columbia; the Government of British Columbia through the Book Publishing Tax Credit; and the Government of Canada for our publishing activities.
PUBLISHER’S NOTE
AS I WRITE this note in mid-September 2017 and reflect on the past year, I am struck by what a fine year it has been for Greystone. Our good group of people has remained together, we’ve added strength in the international territories we are developing, and we have had by far the most successful publishing year in the history of Greystone Books. Many of the new books we have released over the past twelve months have outperformed our initial expectations, some by very significant margins. And one stands out from all the rest. The paradigm-changing The Hidden Life of Trees, by German forester Peter Wohlleben, took us all by surprise when we published it in English markets around the world. We knew from the beginning that the book was special, and we hoped we could convince readers to take a look. And they continue to look, proving that good books are still able to find readers. As I look forward to spring 2018, I know that Greystone is continuing to walk the right path. New books by Canadian and select international writers sit comfortably side by side. And many more of both are in the pipeline for future publishing seasons.

IR AN: A DESTINATION that is seldom seen by westerners yet often misunderstood. A country that simultaneously enchants and enrages those who visit it. A place where leading a double life has become the norm. In Couchsurfing in Iran, award-winning author Stephan Orth spends sixtytwo days on the road in this mysterious Islamic republic to provide a revealing, behind-the-scenes look at life in one of the world’s most closed societies. Experiencing daily what he calls the “two Irans” that coexist side by side—the “theocracy, where people mourn their martyrs” in mausoleums, and the “hideand-seekocracy, where people hold secret parties and seek worldly thrills instead of spiritual bliss”—he learns that Iranians have become experts in navigating around their country’s strict laws. Getting up close and personal with locals, he covers more than 8,400 kilometers, peering behind closed doors and blank windows to uncover the inner workings of a country where public show and private reality are strikingly opposed.

excerpt Forty-four million Iranians, 60 percent of the total population, are under thirty. I have met only a few dozen of them. My travels are not a representative survey but encounters with a select group, a group who speaks English, is interested in travel and life in the West, and striving for more freedom. A group who has developed a remarkable routine of breaching laws despite the threat of draconian punishment. Never in the thirty-five years of the Islamic Republic have there been so many of them. Their social revolution takes place behind closed doors. And in the digital world. Flirting on Viber, putting their headscarves aside on Facebook, posting scandalous clips on YouTube. The Internet allows more freedom than reality does. It is still an escape from the public arena, but at some stage testing the boundaries online will appeal so much that they can no longer accept being contained offline. “The change in Iran must come peacefully and from within,” wrote the Nobel Peace Prize winner Shirin Ebadi. I have the impression that the young Iranians haven’t yet realized the power potential provided by sheer numbers and that they have a real chance to transform their country.

FROM THE DANISH concept of hygge (or “coziness”) to the Swedish fika (or “coffee break”), when it comes to enjoying the good things in life, the Nordic countries tend to know best. And dessert, Bakeland reveals, is no exception. Written by Marit Hovland, the Norwegian graphic designer, baker, and photographer behind the popular Instagram account and blog Borrow My Eyes, this gorgeous recipe book is a remarkably innovative homage to the beauty of the world around us that will delight lovers of baking, crafting, nature, and all things Scandinavian. With fifty tempting dessert recipes and 140 stunning color photographs, Bakeland is as much a treat for the eyes as it is for the taste buds. Hovland offers a sweet, playful approach to the New Nordic cuisine trend made popular by chefs like Magnus Nilsson. Her belief that “inspiration can be found everywhere” shines through in each of her culinary creations, which replicate the most striking aspects of the natural world. From chocolate sea shells to pinecone-shaped gingersnaps, Bakeland takes readers on an artful, tasty trip through nature in Norway, season by season. Better yet, each recipe is detailed, precise, and easy to follow, with no special equipment required. With step-by-step illustrated instructions and an emphasis on simplicity, Hovland’s approach to baking is as accessible as it is delectable.

WELLMANIA Extreme Misadventures in the Search for Wellness BRIGID DELANEY “I laughed so hard, I choked on a doughnut reading this book. I’m so glad Brigid Delaney tried all of this crazy stuff so I never have to.”
– JEN MANN, New York Times bestselling author of People I Want to Punch in the Throat Bridget Jones meets Morgan Spurlock in Wellmania, an in-depth, laughout-loud exploration of the best and worst of the wellness industry.
COLD-PRESSED JUICES, “CLEAN” eating, colonic vacations, mindfulness apps, and Paleo: health-care trends and miracle diets seem to be more plentiful each year. But do any of these tactics actually work? What does “wellness” even mean?

HAPPY DOWN BELOW Everything You Want to Know about the Penis and Other Bits DR. OLIVER GRALLA Foreword by PETER MOORE
An informative, accessible, and funny guide to male anatomy and men’s health.
MEN ARE NOTORIOUSLY reluctant to see a doctor. Only three in five men report going for an annual physical, and over 40 percent only visit the clinic when their symptoms become unbearable.

In Happy Down Below, men’s health specialist Dr. Oliver Gralla provides a clever and highly entertaining remedy to that situation. Packed with colorful anecdotes and quirky illustrations, this cheeky guidebook offers practical tips and clear, accessible explanations for helping men (and women) better understand the

With plenty of relatable metaphors and a light, conversational tone, Dr. Gralla provides simple, research-based answers to questions such as, Do male enhancement pills actually work?

I AM NOBODY Confronting the Sexually Abusive Coach Who Stole My Life GREG GILHOOLY A Bay Street lawyer’s devastating account of the sexual abuse he experienced as a young, up-and-coming hockey player from his mentor, Graham James.
IN THIS R AW, unflinching account, Greg Gilhooly describes in anguishing detail how his dream of playing hockey was stolen from him by his mentor, the charismatic predator and now infamous coach Graham James. He recounts the mental torment he suffered both during and long after the abuse, including years of struggle to overcome substance abuse, eating disorders, self-harm, and self-sabotage. With vivid language and gripping honesty, he provides a deeper look into the terrible reality behind the sanitized term “sexual assault.” Graham James confessed to sexually assaulting Sheldon Kennedy and Theo Fleury and was convicted of both crimes.

But most important, Gilhooly offers hope, affirmation, and inspiration for those who have suffered abuse and for their loved ones.
GREG GILHOOLY is a graduate of Princeton University and the University of Toronto, Faculty of Law, and has held senior positions in numerous corporations.
