  Cider is having a major moment, and The Cider Revival charts its history, resurgence, and a year with the vanguard makers of heritage cider 
    
  Cider is the quintessential American beverage. Drank by early settlers and founding fathers, it was ubiquitous and pervasive, but following Prohibition when orchards were destroyed and neglected, cider all but disappeared. In The Cider Revival, Jason Wilson chronicles what is happening now, an extraordinary rebirth that is less than a decade old. 
    
  Following the seasons through the autumn harvest, winter fermentation, spring bottling, and summer festival and orchard work, Wilson travels around New York and New England, with forays to the Midwest, the West Coast, and Europe. He meets the new heroes of cider: orchardists who are rediscovering long lost apple varieties, cider makers who have the attention to craftsmanship of natural wine makers, and beverage professionals who see cider as poised to explode in popularity. What emerges is a deeply rewarding story, an exploration of cider’s identity and future, and its cultural and environmental significance. A blend of history and travelogue, The Cider Revival is a toast to a complex drink.

  One woman's misguided quest for love, sex, and as much airtime as possible . . . 
  On The Howard Stern Show, radio personality Lisa Glasberg, aka Lisa G., is painted as a violin-playing, cookie-baking cat lady, but that's all about to change. This alleged wallflower once used her skills in the kitchen to show up at a suitor's doorstep wearing nothing but a fur coat and carrying a plate of freshly baked cookies. 
  Now, in her unrated memoir, Lisa G. reveals all about her adventures and misadventures growing up and looking for love in all the wrong places. Her journey begins in the only place where she felt comfortable—behind the microphone. Lisa became a workaholic with a larger-than-life radio personality. But when the "on air" lights switched off, she struggled to find her true self. Through therapy and some soul-searching, she transformed from an insecure young woman who attempted to win over men with her culinary prowess into an independent adult who finally learned to love herself. 
  Lisa's story is full of inspiration and lots of laughs. Smart, sassy, and stacked, Lisa always put her career first. While searching for the perfect job, the aspiring radio star dated her way through an urban bachelorette's predictable gallery of potential mates. In Sex, Lies, and Cookies, Lisa details her hilarious sexcapades, which include everyone from a nice Jewish doctor with a unique fetish to the classic unavailable type who wants an "open relationship." 
  Lisa G. also shares behind-the-scenes stories from her A-list celebrity interviews, friendships, and time hanging with hip-hop royalty like P. Diddy, Will Smith, and Flavor Flav. 
  Along the way, Lisa G. became known for having the hottest ticket in town—entry into her exclusive and legendary cookie parties. The book includes the recipes for more than twenty-five of Lisa G.'s famous desserts, like "Losing my Cherry Cookies" and "Double D-licious Oatmeal Cookies," as well as tips for hosting your own fabulous cookie party. Sex, Lies and Cookies is a tasty read that proves why the most satisfying relationship you'll ever have starts with learning to love yourself (and how a little cookie dough can help).

  A vulnerable look at the faith questions we are afraid to admit we have 
   
  · for anyone struggling with depression, doubting God's goodness, or feeling like a misfit at church 
  · permission to ask the hard questions (and the just plain weird ones) 
  · deepen your relationship with God and others 
   
   
  When you've done all the right things, read all the right books, and listened to all the right worship songs, yet still feel like you don't have this faith thing figured out, what do you do? It can be hard to voice the questions and doubts floating around your head and heart to others. But you're not the only one who feels that way! 
   
  For anyone tired of church politics, the unspoken rules of Christian subculture, and taking themselves too seriously, Mark Tabb is your new best friend. He asks the questions you might hesitate to admit having, like 
   
  · Can I call myself a Christian if I don't watch The Chosen? 
  · Is God kind of mean but we're all afraid to say something? 
  · If I believe God is in control, why am I upset about politics? 
  · Why don't I feel it? 
  · What if I'm wrong? 
  · and more 
   
  Not only will he explore the answers to ten specific questions, he'll show you how to get comfortable talking with others about all the weird and uncomfortable questions you have. Because figuring out life together just might be the catalyst we need to renew our faith and our hope for the future.

  The Art of Egyptian Papyrus -...

  Papyrus, one of the most important inventions of ancient Egypt, was central to the development of writing and documentation in the ancient world. The history of papyrus dates back to the early dynastic periods of Egypt, around 3000 BCE, when the first examples of papyrus usage were recorded. This plant, which grew abundantly along the Nile River, was harvested for its stalks, which were then processed into sheets that served as a writing surface. The creation of papyrus revolutionized communication in the ancient world, providing a portable, durable, and practical alternative to other materials like stone or clay tablets. 
  The origins of papyrus as a writing material can be traced to the need for a flexible and lightweight medium that could be used for documentation, record-keeping, and artistic purposes. Ancient Egyptians discovered that the inner pith of the papyrus plant could be cut into strips and laid in a crisscross pattern, pressed together, and dried to form sheets. These sheets were then smoothed and polished, making them suitable for inscribing with hieroglyphs, hieratic script, or later, the demotic script. Over time, the process of papyrus production became more refined, and its use spread to neighboring regions, influencing other ancient civilizations. 
  Early uses of papyrus were predominantly for religious and administrative purposes. Royal decrees, religious texts, and tomb inscriptions were often written on papyrus scrolls. As Egyptian society advanced, the role of papyrus expanded to include personal letters, legal documents, and works of literature, cementing its place as the primary medium for writing in the ancient world. The papyrus scroll became the preferred format for long documents, with scrolls of varying lengths used to record everything from medical texts to astronomical observations.
