  A restorative and resonant memoir of a year in the life of an aging shepherd 
  		 
  For 50 years, Barbara McLean has tended a flock of Border Leicester sheep on her small Ontario farm, Lambsquarters. In Shepherd’s Sight she shares the crises, pleasures, and challenges of farm life over the course of a year. Now in her 70s, McLean faces a new problem: how much longer she can continue with the physically taxing work that is her central source of meaning and satisfaction.  
  		 
  Through her unsentimental gaze, we witness the highs and heartbreaks of delivering and rearing lambs, the shearing and spinning of wool, the wildlife in the woods (and occasionally in the house), and the garden produce moving from seed to harvest to table. Even after half a century on this land, McLean is still making fresh observations, and she shares them in evocative, elegant prose. As she moves through the calendar year, she also reflects on years past, offering a long view on climate, stewardship, and agriculture. 
  		 
  With its vivid description and absorbing storytelling, Shepherd’s Sight offers an unforgettable glimpse of a life lived on the land.

  "There is grandeur in this view of life."
  
  In 1859, Charles Darwin published a book that would forever alter the course of human thought. On the Origin of Species introduced the world to the concept of Natural Selection—the process by which populations of living organisms adapt and change. Moving away from the static view of nature, Darwin presented a world of constant, slow, and magnificent transformation.
  
  The Mechanism of Life: Through decades of meticulous observation—from the beak shapes of Galápagos finches to the breeding of domestic pigeons—Darwin laid out a compelling case for how biological diversity arises. He explains how favorable traits are preserved over generations, allowing species to fill specific niches in their environment.
  
  A Masterpiece of Scientific Logic: Despite the controversy it initially sparked, On the Origin of Species is written with remarkable clarity and humility. Darwin anticipates and addresses the potential objections of his contemporaries, grounding his revolutionary ideas in overwhelming evidence from geology, embryology, and paleontology. It remains not just a textbook of biology, but a beautifully written tribute to the interconnectedness of all living things.
  
  Explore the foundation of your own history. Purchase "On the Origin of Species" today and witness the dawn of modern biology.

  Landscapes of Loss - The Story...

  WINNER OF THE TATA LITERATURE LIVE FIRST BOOK AWARD (NON-FICTION) 2021 
   
  Maharashtra, India's richest state by GDP, has its eyes set on becoming the country's first trillion-dollar economy by 2025. At the same time, Marathwada -- a historically backward part of the state adjoining the distressed Vidarbha region -- has seen a surge in farmer suicides. 
  At the heart of the crisis is a cyclical drought that has persisted for almost a decade. Relief packages and loan waivers have not reversed the trend. On the contrary, the stories of dystopia grow more tragic every year as thousands of farmer families flee to the big cities, while those who stay back are plagued by bad credit and crop loss. 
  Landscapes of Loss tells the story of Marathwada through the accounts of its people: marginal farmers, Dalits, landless labourers, farm widows and children. It lays bare the complex factors that have brought the region to this pass -- a story representative, in many ways, of the agrarian unrest in large parts of rural India.
