There is a surprising way out of the frenzy, that always-being-behind feeling, and the endless to-do list. Now more than ever, people are seeking a reprieve from the constant pressure to achieve, produce, and consume. While many turn to sporadic bouts of mindfulness and meditation, organizational change specialist Marilyn Paul offers a complementary solution that is as radical as it is ancient. In her new book An Oasis in Time, Paul focuses on the profound benefits of taking a modern-day Sabbath each week for deep rest and nourishing renewal. The energy, perspective, creativity, sense of well-being, and yes, increased productivity that ensue are lifesaving. Drawing on Sabbath tradition, contemporary research, and interviews with scores of busy people, Paul shows that it is possible to introduce these practices regardless of your religious beliefs. Starting with just an hour or two, you can carve out the time from your packed schedule, design your weekly oasis experience, and most importantly, change your mind-set so you can enjoy the pleasure of regularly slowing down and savoring life every week. From surrounding yourself with nature to practicing rituals for beginning and ending oasis time to implementing strategies for connecting with friends and family, self, and source, you will discover practical ways to step off the treadmill and into timeless refreshment on your way to a calmer, richer, more fulfilling life.

Twelve-year-old Josh and his father arrive in the very small, run-down town of Oasis, Arizona for the summer -- Josh's father for work and Josh for fun. But Oasis is poorly named. It's hot, dry, and certainly not much fun. As Josh explores the dusty little town, he uncovers a heartbreaking story that has paralyzed the entire community -- the previous summer, in hopes of finding a long lost shipment of gold, three kids set out across the desert never to return. Amidst this gloomy place Josh discovers a few kindred outcasts who are also willing to resist the dreary routine. When this secluded group stumbles upon a map of their own, they do the unthinkable -- they go after the treasure themselves. With an inept search party on their trail, and plagued by storms, crooks, and the land itself, they slowly make their way to the heart of the desert. Will they find the lost gold, meet the same fate as the missing kids, or discover something completely unexpected?

In this young adult thriller for fans of Lost and The Twilight Zone, a group of teens are saved when they come across a mysterious oasis. But who will save them from the oasis? Alif had exciting summer plans: working on her father’s archeological dig site in the desert with four close friends ... and a very cute research assistant. Then the sandstorm hit. Their camp wiped away, Alif and the others find themselves lost on the sands, seemingly doomed ... until they find the oasis. It has everything they need: food, water, and shade—and mysterious ruins that hide a deadly secret. As reality begins to shift around them, they question what’s real and what’s a mirage. The answers turn Alif and her friends against each other, and they begin to wonder if they’ve truly been saved. And while it was easy to walk into the oasis, it may be impossible to leave ... An Imprint Book “Will stick to readers’ skin long after the final page is turned.” —Booklist (starred review) “de Becerra successfully builds a fraught tension throughout the book that mirrors the characters’ feelings as reality leaves them behind . . . well worth the payoff.” —The Bulletin

In the near future, a virus will drive humankind to the brink of extinction. With the illness spreading faster than our attempts to control it, and society collapsing, the last surviving city will become a beacon of hope for survivors. Walled off from the outside world, a last bastion of civilised society, this city is christened Oasis. But as the city's government begins to impose a policy of safety at all costs, life for its citizens takes on a new and sinister shape. Born into this world is Quincy Emerson, a child of the Pure, a resident of the Celian City. At seven, she undergoes her genetic test, a rite of passage for all Oasis's young. The test uncovers the presence of a genetic marker associated with potential carriers of the Virus. She is separated from her family and transferred to the Outer Sector Dorms, brutal institutions built to house the youngest members of Oasis's underclass. Here, her life becomes a monotonous cycle of physical abuse, regimentation and exhausting labour at one of the Outer Sector's many power plants. By night she gazes at the crystalline towers of the Celian city and longs for the Cure. Beyond the walls of Oasis, however, something is stirring, and events are about to overtake Quincy. Her fate, it turns out, may not be written in her genes ... 'This futuristic sci-fi echoes Margaret Atwood and yet was written by a 16-year-old from Galway.

Exiled from an impoverished Russian childhood by her desperate mother in order to give her a new life, Lili is sold to become a wife-in-training - ultimately purchased by a Moroccan man for whom she feels nothing but hatred. When their treacherous relationship explodes on a remote road in the conflict-torn Sahara, Lili pitches herself into what she hopes will be the end of this miserable life - only to reemerge into an oasis of inscrutable characters that is desired by hostile forces for the secrets buried under its sand. Blistered and barefoot in her torn gown, Lili brazenly stands six-feet tall in front of her rescuers, who can only assume that she is either an angel or the mythical djenni, come to destroy their haven. But Midhat, the putative owner of the oasis sees her for what she is: a commodity worth owning long enough to use for his own advancement. As Lili slowly pieces together the events and personalities flying around her, she also mulls over her past misfortunes and yearns for what she calls her "third death, " the one that will erase for good the creature she has become at the hands of Madame Mer, a cunning flesh monger. As the daily intrigues and secret betrayals of her tiny outpost of humanity become clearer, Lili discovers that the only way out is to find a way back into the world through these similarly fractured souls.
