  This unique blend of memoir and history takes “a multi-layered look at jigsaw puzzles . . . charming [and] fascinating” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).   Award-winning author Margaret Drabble weaves her own story into a history of games, in particular jigsaws, which have offered her and many others relief from melancholy and depression. Alongside curious facts and discoveries—for example, that the 1929 stock market crash was followed by a boom in puzzle sales—Drabble introduces us to her beloved Auntie Phyl, and describes childhood visits to the house in Long Bennington on the Great North Road, their first trip to London together, the books they read, and the jigsaws they completed.   With penetrating sketches of her parents, siblings, and children, Drabble shares her thoughts on the importance of childhood play, art and writing, aging and memory. And she does so with her customary intelligence, energy, and wit.

  Pathfinder is the most popular tabletop role-playing game in the world today. It's what Dungeons & Dragons wanted to be when it grew up. People in virtually every country are playing Pathfinder, gathering with friends and having fantastic adventures that inspire creativity, flex the imagination, teach coping and problem solving skills, and improve your ability to do math on the fly. Most of all, it's fun and it gives you something that you and your friends can experience together. 
  The first time I played a role-playing game, I was a 17-year-old freshman in college. I had heard of Dungeons & Dragons - nobody got out of the 1970s and 1980s without at least knowing that much. Even ET: The Extraterrestrial had a scene where Elliot and his friends are playing a role-playing game at the kitchen table. 
  Fast forward 30 years. I'm still playing. I've played hundreds, if not thousands, of games. I have been the game master for friends and club members alike. I've had moving moments, laughed until I cried, and made lifelong friends around a table filled with dice and game books. 
  If you're checking out this book today because you want to play Pathfinder but don't quite know how to get started, welcome. You're about to embark on an incredible journey.

  Eating when you're hungry ... how simple is that? Not so simple for Josie and the friends she met when she took herself off to One Step, the local Overeaters Anonymous Group. She heard about Rachel's extended family, who thought meeting meant eating. She met Christopher who could only stomach one coloured food at a time. There was Olga who used food as an anchor to her past and Dave who was the family's living compost bin. Then there was Tiffany and Monica and finally Perry whose wife had two-timed his stomach as well as his heart. Josie liked to think of her food diaries as one woman's Battle of the Bulge but really it all their stories, she reflected, as she sat down to write that last entry.With Julie McGregor as Josie, as heard on ABC Radio.

  You're Not Lost if You Can Still...

  Humorous, insightful essays on outdoor life from the renowned contributor and editor of Field & Stream—“one of the best magazine writers in America” (The Wall Street Journal).   Living the life of an outdoorsman doesn’t necessarily take skill. After more than two decades of writing about his adventures (and misadventures), Bill Heavey has proven that being a true outdoorsman just takes enthusiasm, determination, and a willingness to, occasionally, make a fool of oneself.  You’re Not Lost If You Can Still See the Truck gathers together more than sixty of Heavey’s best stories from his work in Field & Stream, The Washington Post, and The Washingtonian. Including retellings of his adventures hunting ants in the urban jungles of Washington, DC; braving freezing winter expeditions in Eastern Alaska; attempting to impress ladies by immediately flipping over his canoe; and planning deer hunts around dad-duties, these tales are chock full of life, insight, and, of course, hilarity.   Here is a far-ranging and enlightening volume that traces a life lived outdoors, for better or for worse.   “To the list of great Field & Stream essayists . . . add the name Bill Heavey. His writing is funny, poignant, acerbic, and, best of all, always alert to the absurdities of life.” —Patrick C. McManus
