This week's author spotlight features co-authors Scott Angus and Emily Sopensky, who have collaborated on their new book Snake Medicine - Sacred Earth Sites: Seeing the Unseen, Volume 1.

This collection of photographs, essays, and interviews is the first in a series of personal odysseys that explore sacred earth sites. Capturing the power of these ancient spiritual places, the book leads readers on a journey through locations seldom seen by the human eye, allowing
us to spy on the great natural landscapes and intuit their inner secrets.

With the explorer and novice photographer in mind, Scott Angus, a university educator in photography, art theory, and the visual arts, shares why and how he was drawn to each site, speculation on what forces power the site, and what was captured in the photograph. Emily Sopensky provides information for each place on the itinerary, adding historical context and geographical details to the sites captured in the photos.

Snake Medicine is a moving and insightful tour of the sacred sites of the American landscape, and a visual diary of Scott’s journey across America. You can find out more about the book on Scott and Emily's website, where it is also available for purchase.

Throughout the next few weeks, we're going to use this space to highlight some of the wonderful authors that we work with, as well as their current and upcoming books! First up is Brian Ray, author of Revelations Incorporated: Workplace Wisdom for the 21st Century. Brian is a business expert and an independent consultant with over twenty years of experience in the industry, and Revelations Incorporated is his first book.

Brian's book is full of helpful tips and tricks for those who are lacking in business know-how. Entering the workforce can be daunting; business courses rarely prepare new graduates for the bureaucracy, office politics, power plays and jockeying for position, nepotism, and other frustrations that are part of a typical workplace environment. Brian explains the different hurdles employees may face, and how to tackle them with grace and integrity, while still keeping your job, or finding your way to a better one!

Brian draws on his extensive experience in the corporate world to discuss such issues as workplace bullying, fair compensation, downsizing, offshoring, unrealistic management expectations, and so much more. Part how-to guide, part insightful business analysis, and full of helpful advice and anecdotes, Revelations Incorporated gives those new to the workplace the knowledge they need to thrive in a difficult work environment.
