  Whether experienced or new to woodcarving, you are sure to appreciate the in-depth knowledge of the art form from author David Young. The book begins with information on what you need to know to start whittling including tools, materials, knife sharpening, and techniques. Next, David covers finishing your project with instructions for his simple painting technique to achieve professional-looking results. Using these techniques, you'll then be ready to start whittling the 13 beautifully illustrated projects which range in difficulty, building on the skills and techniques used in each. You'll start with projects that build upon each other, adding a new technique and skill for each. You are then ready to start the next set of simple projects, further refining your whittling skills. You're now ready for the step-up projects that include a pineapple, a vase with a rose, and a wood spirit. Each project uses a 1" x 1" x 'varying length' block and can be completed in less than an hour. The scale of the projects and the use of minimal tools and supplies make carving the projects possible in virtually any space or location.

  Do you regularly Google how to do your own job while hoping nobody notices? 
  Ever sat in a meeting nodding thoughtfully while having no clue what’s happening? 
  Congratulations! 🎉 You’re just like everyone else. 
  This book is a highly questionable, deeply unserious guide to:

  ✔️ Pretending you belong in the room, even when you definitely don’t. 
  ✔️ Saying things with confidence so people stop asking follow-up questions. 
  Inside, you’ll learn highly advanced survival techniques, including: 
  🔥 "Meetings, Presentations, and Other Ways to Have a Public Meltdown" (How to say “Let’s circle back” and escape responsibility forever.) 
  🔥 "Job Interviews: The Olympic Sport of Pretending You’re Normal" (How to answer 'Tell me about yourself' without crying.) 
  🔥 "Your Inner Critic is a Liar (And Also Kind of a Jerk)" (Why your brain is an unpaid intern with terrible opinions.) 
  🔥 "Nobody Actually Knows What They’re Doing (And That’s Beautiful)" (How billionaires, CEOs, and your boss are all just making stuff up.) 
  If you’ve ever felt like an imposter, like a fraud, or like you are one “Let’s hop on a quick call” away from quitting life and living in the woods— this book is for you. 
  Because here’s the truth: 
  🚀 Nobody knows what they’re doing. They’re just pretending louder. 
  🔥 And now, so can you. 
  WARNING: This book will not help you grow as a person. It will, however, make you feel slightly better about the absolute trainwreck that is modern life.

  Good Grief - On Loving Pets Here...

  E.B. Bartels

  An unexpected, poignant, and personal account of loving and losing pets, exploring the singular bonds we have with our companion animals, and how to grieve them once they’ve passed. 
  E.B. Bartels has had a lot of pets—dogs, birds, fish, tortoises. As varied a bunch as they are, they’ve taught her one universal truth: to own a pet is to love a pet, and to own a pet is also—with rare exception—to lose that pet in time. 
  But while we have codified traditions to mark the passing of our fellow humans, most cultures don’t have the same for pets. Bartels takes us from Massachusetts to Japan, from ancient Egypt to the modern era, in search of the good pet death. We meet veterinarians, archaeologists, ministers, and more, offering an idiosyncratic, inspiring array of rituals—from the traditional (scattering ashes, commissioning a portrait), to the grand (funereal processions, mausoleums), to the unexpected (taxidermy, cloning). The central lesson: there is no best practice when it comes to mourning your pet, except to care for them in death as you did in life, and find the space to participate in their end as fully as you can. 
  Punctuated by wry, bighearted accounts of Bartels’s own pets and their deaths, Good Grief is a cathartic companion through loving and losing our animal family. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  Welcome to Dragon Talk -...

  If it seems like everyone you know is playing Dungeons & Dragons, it's because they are! After nearly five decades, the iconic roleplaying game is more popular than ever. Famous Hollywood actors and directors, therapists, educators, politicians, kids, parents, and grandparents all count themselves as fans. In Welcome to Dragon Talk, hosts of the official D&D podcast Shelly Mazzanoble and Greg Tito and their surprising guests show how this beloved pastime has amassed a diverse, tight-knit following of players who defy stereotypes. 
   
   
    
  Shelly and Greg recount some of their most inspiring interviews and illuminate how their guests use the core tenets of the game in everyday life. An A-list actor defends D&D by baring his soul (and his muscles) on social media. A teacher in a disadvantaged district in Houston creates a D&D club that motivates students to want to read and think analytically. A writer and live-streamer demonstrates how D&D–inspired communication breaks barriers and empowers people of color. Listeners will see why Dungeons & Dragons has remained such a pop culture phenomenon and how it has given this disparate and growing community the inspiration to flourish and spread some in-game magic into the real world.

  The Classic Garden - Timeless...

  At the heart of a classic garden lies the pursuit of perfection in design. These gardens are more than just places to grow plants—they are carefully planned landscapes where form, function, and beauty coexist seamlessly. Whether influenced by ancient Greek and Roman principles, the elegance of French formal gardens, or the natural beauty of English country estates, classic gardens share a commitment to design that is both purposeful and enduring. They reflect the beauty of nature while also incorporating elements of art, architecture, and human ingenuity. 
  The appeal of classic gardens lies in their timeless quality. Unlike trends in fashion or architecture that may change with the seasons, a well-designed garden can remain relevant for generations. This is because the principles underlying classic design—proportion, symmetry, the careful selection of plants, and the use of natural materials—are universal and have remained consistent over time. Whether you are designing a small urban courtyard or a sprawling estate, the key to creating a classic garden lies in understanding these principles and applying them thoughtfully. 
  In this book, we will explore the fundamental aspects of creating a classic garden. We will delve into the design principles that define these gardens, such as symmetry, balance, and geometry, and look at how these concepts can be adapted to modern spaces. We will also explore the plants that are essential to creating a timeless garden, from the perennials and shrubs that provide structure and beauty to the trees and flowers that add color and fragrance throughout the seasons.
