Summary

Dallas Lore Sharp's book, 'Winter,' is a poetic and contemplative exploration of the beauty and harshness of the winter season. Sharp's descriptive language and vivid imagery transport the reader to a snowy landscape where the quietude and stillness of winter are both celebrated and questioned. Through poignant observations of nature and human interactions with the winter elements, Sharp crafts a narrative that is both thought-provoking and evocative. Written in a lyrical and reflective style, 'Winter' is a meditation on the changing seasons and the cyclical nature of life. The book can be seen as a blend of natural history, philosophy, and personal reflection, making it a unique and compelling read for those interested in environmental literature. Dallas Lore Sharp's background as a naturalist and educator shines through in 'Winter,' as his deep connection to the natural world informs his writing and creates a sense of intimacy with the subject matter. His keen observations of animal behavior and weather patterns lend authenticity to the narrative and enhance the reader's experience of the winter landscape. I highly recommend 'Winter' to readers who appreciate lyrical prose, introspective writing, and a deeper exploration of nature's mysteries.

    The highly anticipated sequel to the best-selling-and laugh-out-loud funny How to Lose Friends and Alienate People.When even his friends refer to him in print as "a balding, bug-eyed opportunist with the looks of a beach ball, the charisma of a glove-puppet, and an ego the size of a Hercules supply plane," the odds of Toby Young scoring-in any sense-appear to be slim. But then How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, his account of the five years he spent trying (and failing) to take Manhattan, improbably catapults Toby to bestsellerdom, and his book is translated into twelve languages, including American.Now Tinseltown beckons.After receiving a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity from a big Hollywood producer, Toby sets his sights anew on a high-flying career, this time on the West Coast. But it doesn't take long for Toby's fabled "brown thumb" and self-sabotaging instincts to reassert themselves. On the home front, though, things seem to be looking up: Toby manages to persuade his girlfriend to marry him and move to Los Angeles-but then she decides to abandon her promising legal career in order to become a fulltime homemaker . . . and mother. Toby's increasingly hapless attempts to pursue a glamorous showbiz career while buried in diapers will strike a chord with all modern fathers struggling to find the right work/life balance . . . and with their utterly exasperated wives.Failure-and fatherhood-have never been funnier.

    Camino de la Luna - Compassion...

    What is compassion? Something alive perhaps, that can only be understood in practice. So often confused with pity or the self-sacrificing impulse to take on another’s burden, to make things better, to fix. It takes strength and delicacy and it doesn’t mean giving away your life savings.Self compassion is sometimes the place between pushing through and giving up, the moment we can recognize our true needs, not our desires even if they’re for further suffering. Sometimes the moment we find self compassion is the moment we stop and walk away.  I had found forgiveness in Switzerland and now I was heading to friends in Rome before taking the leap to South East Asia, to Sri Lanka, to a new understanding of compassion and self compassion.The fourth in the Camino de la Luna series by Pearl Howie. From Genoa (or Genova), through Rome and on to Sicily, I finally make it back to London and from there continue falling forwards to South East Asia, hoping for a soft landing in Sri Lanka.It's in Sri Lanka that I open my heart and discover a new understanding of what compassion is…Perfect for those who enjoy an adventure travel story and want to know what it's really like to take off round the world with a rucksack.

    The Mountain State's irregular borders and rugged geography are home to a fascinating mix of cultures, landscapes and foods. West Virginia's culinary history is rooted among the native fauna and flora that early residents hunted and foraged, and the taste of pawpaws and ramps is familiar across the state. Immigrants brought international flavors to Appalachian cuisine, resulting in local traditions like moonshine and the iconic pepperoni roll. Historian, author and West Virginia native Shannon Colaianni Tinnell explores a history that is still being written by a new generation hungry for tradition and authenticity.

    A “breezy collection” of quotes about gardening, “filled with humor, reflection, and a love of plants and planting” (Publishers Weekly).  The Gardener Says invites you to a festive garden party where guests ranging from Gertrude Jekyll and Henry David Thoreau to Michelle Obama and Michael Pollan share their insights and words of inspiration on the topic of gardening.   Ranging from the humorous to the poignant, these quotes from gardeners, poets, philosophers, and landscape designers highlight both the joys and challenges of gardening—the exhaustion at the end of a long day’s work, the satisfaction of seeing a flower blossom, the peace and happiness of time spent in quiet contemplation.   A delightful hobby, a potent tool for ecological and social transformation, and a crucial reminder of our place in nature, gardening is, in the words of Mirabel Osler, the one occupation where “if you were to creep up behind someone at their work, you would find them smiling.”   “Will inspire you . . . [This] compilation of thoughtful and powerful insights helped me understand, on a personal level, my desire to garden.” —The Oregonian

    More than five hundred years of British true crime stories—from mutinies and murders to duels and executions.   This collection of historical true crime tales includes more than twenty notorious episodes that range from medieval times to the modern era, and offers a fascinating insight into criminal acts and the criminal mind.   Set in the vicinity of Portsmouth, England, these intriguing and shocking cases cover an extraordinary variety of misdeeds, some motivated by brutal impulse or despair, others by malice. Most involve ill-fated individuals who are only known to us because they were caught up in crime, but more famous episodes appear as well, such as the murder of the Duke of Buckingham and the disappearance of the Cold War frogman Buster Crabb.  Includes illustrations
