  In this book, Eve O. Schaub, humorist and stunt memoirist extraordinaire, tackles her most difficult challenge to date: garbage. Convincing her husband and two daughters to go along with her, Schaub attempts the seemingly impossible: living in the modern world without creating any trash at all—for an entire year and, as it turns out, during a pandemic. In the process, Schaub learns some startling things: that modern recycling is broken and single stream recycling is a lie, that flushable wipes aren’t flushable and compostables aren’t compostable, and that plastic drives climate change, fosters racism, and is poisoning the environment and our bodies at alarming rates, as microplastics are being found everywhere, from the top of Mount Everest to the placenta of unborn babies. If you’ve ever thought twice about that plastic straw in your drink, you’re gonna wanna read this book.

  The Cat Who Went to Heaven - A...

  Elizabeth Coatsworth

  The 1931 winner of the Newbery Medal, finally in audiobook form with new original music. 
   
  Elizabeth Coatsworth originally published The Cat Who Went to Heaven in 1930 with illustrations by celebrated artist Lynd Ward.  Set in a village in ancient Japan, the tale recounts the adoption of a cat by a poor painter and his housekeeper.  At first suspicious of the feline, the painter grows fonder as he depicts a succession of animals in a large silkscreen painting portraying “The Death of the Lord Buddha,” commissioned by the village temple.  As each animal appears in the painting, the reader receives a Buddhist folktale illustrating Buddhist teachings of kindness, mercy, and sacrifice. 
   
  As the painter painstakingly creates his masterpiece, the adopted cat, whom the artist names Good Fortune, demonstrates a devotion to the Lord Buddha and his teachings that surprises and inspires the humble household.  Through her behavior and deeds, Good Fortune steadily overcomes the reputation of the cat as the one animal too proud to pay homage to the Lord Buddha.  She earns her place alongside her fellow creatures, her place in heaven. 
   
  While generations have treasured The Cat Who Went to Heaven, this is the first audiobook production of the work.  Why?  The music.  Coatsworth broke up the narrative into eight parts, and ended each part with a “song of the housekeeper” that provided an emotional summary of the preceding scenes.  Coatsworth presented the songs, however, as simple poems, and never offered the chords or melodies that would allow a narrator to easily sing the songs.  This audiobook contains original musical compositions based on Coatsworth’s lyrics from the text.

  The perfect gift book for Guinness lovers, served here.
  How did a beer from Dublin become a globally renowned symbol of Ireland?
  In 1759, Arthur Guinness left behind his family's small brewery in County Kildare to seek his fortunes in Dublin. After acquiring the ill-equipped St James' Gate brewery, he soon began to produce the Guinness stout that has become world famous.
  Rory Guinness, a direct descendant of the brewery's founder, has written the insider's guide to the world of Guinness. He surveys the family history, the unique brewing process, the brewery's distinctive industrial architecture and the beer's legendary advertising, revealing how Guinness and its people became interwoven into the fabric of Dublin life and created a brewing legacy that stretches around the world.
  This is also the story of a remarkable resurgence, because Guinness is now the bestselling beer in the UK, while Guinness Zero is reaching new markets. It is the official beer of the English Premier League, and a long-term partner of rugby's men's and women's Six Nations Championship.
  World of Guinness is a revised, expanded and redesigned edition of Rory Guinness's classic short introduction, illustrated with archival images, new photography of the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin and a selection of Guinness's witty advertisements. It is published in hardback for the first time and makes a perfect gift.
