Who are we?
Founded in 1974, North Atlantic Books, a nonprofit organization, has been located in Berkeley, California since 1977 and is a leading indie publisher in alternative health, new consciousness, raw foods, spirituality, and martial arts (under the Blue Snake Books imprint). Our mission is to publish primary and authentic works on the relationship of body, mind, and nature in order to create an emergent awareness for personal, spiritual, and planetary transformation.
What are the NAB Communities?
The NAB Communities are interactive, genre-specific spaces for readers to discuss books and timely topics with one another and with authors—for anyone looking for credible information and direct access to thought-leaders in North Atlantic Books’ key subject areas:
* NOURISH: Raw Foods, Healthy Eating and Nutrition, All-Natural Recipes
* WISDOM: New Consciousness, Spirituality, Self-Improvement
* WELLNESS: Holistic Health, Bodywork, Healing Therapies
* CULTURE: Literary Arts, Social Sciences, Lifestyle
* BLUE SNAKE: Martial Arts History, Fighting Philosophy, Technique
Each community has a dedicated blog, featuring exclusive excerpts and quotes, author interviews, polls and quizzes, quick facts, literary roundups, giveaways, and event listings; a social network forum where users can interact with authors and other like-minded individuals; and digest-style email newsletter subscriptions that allow users to keep up with what’s happening in their favorite communities. The site also hosts the NAB Communities podcast, featuring audio interviews with popular authors from each community.
Why join us?
NAB Communities is ultimately powered by you—the user. We believe in fostering discussion online and in our local communities in this time of global transformation. Change begins on the individual level. We sincerely hope that you’ll join the discussion and spread the word about NAB one community at a time!
