After the tragic sinking of a cargo ship, one solitary lifeboat remains bobbing on the wild, blue Pacific. The only survivors from the wreck are a sixteen-year-old boy named Pi, a hyena, a zebra with a broken leg, a female orang-utan - and a 450-pound Royal Bengal tiger. Since it was first published in 2002, Life of Pi has entered mainstream consciousness and remains one of the most extraordinary works of fiction in recent years. In October 2005 Canongate launched a competition with The Times to find an artist to illustrate Yann Martel's international bestseller. Soon the competition expanded as the Globe and Mail and The Age newspapers also launched a search in Canada and Australia. From thousands of entries, Croatian artist Tomislav Torjanac was chosen as the illustrator for this new edition of Life of Pi. Now readers can enjoy this extraordinary tale with his glorious colour illustrations.

Is the most important language in the universe also capable of making us happy in simple and profound ways? Can we really weave the foundations of lifelong joy—humility, gratitude, connection, etc.—through the apparent complexity of numbers? Have we oversold the practicality of mathematics, while ignoring its larger and more human purposes—happiness? In Pi of Life: The Hidden Happiness of Mathematics, Sunil Singh takes the readers on a unique adventure, discovering that all the elements that are essential for lifelong happiness are deeply intertwined with the magic of mathematics. Blending classic wisdom with over 100 pop culture references—music, television and film—Singh whimsically switches the lens in this book from the traditional society teaching math to a new and bold math teaching society. Written with charming buoyancy and intimacy, he takes us on an emotional and surprising journey through the deepest goldmine of mathematics—our personal happiness.

“My vision of the illustrated edition of Life of Pi is based on paintings from a first person’s perspective—Pi’s perspective. The interpretation of what Pi sees is intermeshed with what he feels and it is shown through [the] use of colors, perspective, symbols, hand gestures, etc.” — Tomislav Torjanac The modern classic and international bestseller is now brought to splendid, eye-popping life with forty beautiful illustrations from artist Tomislav Torjanac. After the sinking of a cargo ship, a solitary lifeboat remains bobbing on the wild blue Pacific. The only survivors from the wreck are a sixteen-year-old boy named Pi, a hyena, a wounded zebra, an orangutan—and a 450-pound Royal Bengal tiger. Soon the tiger has dispatched all but Pi Patel, whose fear, knowledge, and cunning allow him to coexist with the tiger, Richard Parker, for 227 days while lost at sea. When they finally reach the coast of Mexico, Richard Parker flees to the jungle, never to be seen again. The Japanese authorities who interrogate Pi refuse to believe his story and press him to tell them "the truth." After hours of coercion, Pi tells a second story, a story much less fantastical, much more conventional—but is it more true? Life of Pi is at once a realistic, rousing adventure and a meta-tale of survival that explores the redemptive power of storytelling and the transformative nature of fiction. It's a story, as one character puts it, to make you believe in God.

Diversely illustrated with 275 photographs and illustrations, The Making of Life of Pi tells the inside story of how renowned Academy Award-winning director Ang Lee brought Yann Martel's international bestseller to life as a 3-D film. With a rich, entertaining text and a wide variety of facts, anecdotes, visual portfolios, and sidebars sure to delight readers of all ages, The Making of Life of Pi follows the making of the film from pre-production through final cut. Of course, you'll meet Suraj Sharma, the sixteen-year-old unknown Indian high-school student who won the part of Pi although he had no acting experience and didn't even know how to swim—yet in the end performed all of his own stunts. You'll learn about the massive wave tank, custom-built for the film that replicated a vast, stormy ocean in all its moods, thanks to a complex and specially devised menu of wave and wind combinations, some really powerful machinery, and tons of water. You'll get to look inside the fifty-page fully illustrated "survival guide" that shipwreck survivor Steven Callahan created for Pi to consult on his raft. And you'll read about King, Themis, Minh, and Jonas, the four Bengal tigers used in the film—and discover how visual effects were able to create a seamless 3-D image of the tiger Richard Parker. A foreword by Yann Martel, an introduction by Ang Lee, and an incredible range of visual materials—fine art, vintage archival imagery, and commissioned portfolios by photographer Mary Ellen Mark and artist Alexis Rockman—supplement the film's storyboards, sketches, and stills, rounding out this highly experiential book for lovers of the novel and film viewers alike.

There are essential truths in life, truths that help us exist in love, peace, and harmony with our surroundings and with others. These truths are the foundation for a joyful life! They are critical to happiness and wholeness because they open our hearts, minds, and spirits to the true nature of our being: Love. Once we embrace the true nature of our being we're on the path to True and Lasting Fulfillment and Success! The Pi of Life shares these essential truths with you in an easy to read and enjoyable format. There are many paths to discover these truths. Some paths are beautiful and flow into enlightenment with grace and ease. Other paths are fraught with heartbreak and darkness and eventually lead the person to a breaking point, a point that ignites personal transformation, when they scream Enough! And they mean it. When someone reaches their personal breaking point they can transform or they can give up. When author Roland Byrd reached his own breaking point, he decided to transform - to begin the lifelong journey of becoming the best version of himself and of helping others. During the first few years of his deep personal and spiritual transformation, Roland wrote many letters and emails to his wife, children, and his mentor. Later, while meditating, he realized the universal truths contained in these letters could help motivate, inspire, and show others learn how to live happier, healthier lives. Inspired by that realization, in 2011, Roland dove back into the letters, extracted the best parts, and then shared the collection as The Pi of Life: Essential Truths for Creating Happiness, Wholeness, & Success. The Pi of Life is an Entertaining and Thought Provoking Journey Forged in the Fires of Rebirth. It is wonderful for those on the path of personal transformation and enlightenment. It also makes a great gift. What people are saying about The Pi of Life: This book lifts me up and gives me hope. Ma Teresa Nunez Resendiz This book is a must have for those who seek their personal best daily and strive to be the joyful beings God created us to be. Violette L. Reid We all need to have daily reminders of our potential and life's possibilities for the amazing. This book is just that. Athena Harris The Pi of Life is full of Essential Truths that Gently Guide you to Happiness, Healing, Wholeness, and Success! Page after page of thoughts, insights, and stories await to motivate and inspire you—most of them are a page or less. So when you've got a few minutes to spare you can pick it up, read a page or two, and go on with your day feeling uplifted and inspired! The Pi of Life also Brims with Thoughts, Stories, and Insights, on topics from Spirituality and Healing, to Wholeness and Success. The Pi of Life Opens Your Mind, Body, and Spirit to Your Unlimited Potential. It Heals the Heart, Soothes the Soul, and Explores the Infinite Nature of Life. Come; Explore the Beauty of Your Creation! A Personal Note from the Author: When I first stepped on the path of personal growth, I never imagined I'd write books about the subject, let alone any book that would be considered self-help. But as I Rose like a Phoenix From the Ashes of my Life, my Mind, Body, and Spirit Transformed. I understood then that I must share my inspiration and knowledge to help others. Keeping the lessons I learned about personal transformation and spirituality to myself was simply unthinkable! With The Pi of Life I wanted to create an inspirational and motivational book that's fun and easy to read, a book that lifts your heart and spirits as you read it! Did I succeed? That's for you to decide. Please enjoy the journey! You Are The Master of Your Destiny! Roland P.S. As to the main title, The Pi of Life: I believe every human has limitless potential. Since Pi is an irrational number—and is therefore limitless—I thought it a fitting title.

“A beautifully crafted novel that sits at the intersection of race and class, that flags the frank truth of the life of migrant workers for whom a flight to freedom can become the most finely woven trap.”—JODI PICOULT, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Two Ways From the prize-winning author of The Beekeeper of Aleppo comes Songbirds, a stunning novel about the disappearance of a Sri Lankan domestic worker and how the most vulnerable people find their voices. Living on the island of Cyprus, Nisha is far from her native Sri Lanka. Though she longs to return home, she knows that working as a “maid” for a wealthy widow is the only way to earn enough to support her daughter, left behind to be raised by relatives. Yiannis is a poacher, trapping the tiny protected songbirds that stop in Cyprus as they migrate each year from Africa to Europe and selling them on the illegal market. He dreams of finding a new way of life, and of marrying Nisha. But one night, Nisha makes dinner, an aromatic dahl curry, for the family who pays her: Petra and her daughter Aliki. Then, after she cleans the kitchen and tucks Aliki into bed, Nisha goes out on a mysterious errand, and vanishes. When the police refuse to pursue the case, Petra takes on the investigation herself, a path that leads her to Nisha’s friends—other workers in the neighborhood—and to the darker side of a migrant’s life, where impossible choices leave them vulnerable, captive, and worse. Inspired by the real-life disappearance of domestic workers in Cyprus, Christy Lefteri has crafted a poignant, deeply empathetic narrative of the human stories behind the headlines. With infinite tenderness and skill, Songbirds offers a triumphant story of the fight for truth and justice, and of women reclaiming their lost voices.
