  A Croft in the Hills captures, in simple, moving descriptions, what it was really like trying to make a living out of a hill croft near Loch Ness fifty years ago. A couple and their young daughter, fresh from city life, immerse themselves in the practicalities of looking after sheep, cattle and hens, mending fences, baking bread, and surviving the worst that Scottish winters can throw at them. 
   
   
   
  Their neighbors are few, but among them they find the generosity and community spirit that has survived in the Highlands for generations. Working as a tight family unit, they learn to cope, and in time grow to love their little croft. As Neil Gunn writes in his Foreword, their lives gain extra dimensions that 'give the book its unusual quality, its brightness, and its wisdom'.

  Since first domesticating the chicken thousands of years ago, humans have become exceptionally adept at raising them for food. Yet most people rarely interact with chickens or know much about them. In Under the Henfluence, culture reporter Tove Danovich explores the lives of these quirky, mysterious birds who stole her heart the moment her first box of chicks arrived at the post office. 
   
   
   
  From a hatchery in Iowa to a chicken show in Ohio to a rooster rescue in Minnesota, Danovich interviews the people breeding, training, healing, and, most importantly, adoring chickens. With more than 26 billion chickens living on industrial farms around the world, they’re easy to dismiss as just another dinner ingredient. Yet Danovich's reporting reveals the hidden cleverness, quiet sweetness, and irresistible personalities of these birds, as well as the complex human-chicken relationship that has evolved over centuries. This glimpse into the lives of backyard chickens doesn't just help us to understand chickens better—it also casts light back on ourselves and what we've ignored throughout the explosive growth of industrial agriculture. Woven with delightful and sometimes heartbreaking anecdotes from Danovich's own henhouse, Under the Henfluence proves that chickens are so much more than what they bring to the table.

  Well known current affairs investigator David Chase nick-named 'the axe' from popular segment  
  'Cut to the Chase' has been on the tail of a murderer who was released from jail after killing a  
  man but who claims he was a wolf man at the time. A good old fashioned right-wing 'moral  
  outrage sensationalist' field-operative, Chase doesn't like what he sees happening to the news  
  world around him - especially at his long-standing conservative TV Network, CNT (we missed 'u') , which, under the spinning eye of Veronica Fox, is reverting to myth making, 'false facts' and disinformation.  
  Chase feels his expiration date is closing in as he tries to keep traditional gutsy tabloid antics  
  front and center. He gets his chance to bribe Ted Victor the self-alleged 'wolf man of Wirrawee'  
  in for a live interview... and to show real guts - on the crest of a full moon. Veronica Fox can't  
  help but get her magic wand spinning and tries molding it all for the alt-right, while Chase  
  desperately clings onto his authority as a 'common sense' conservative reporter. The world  
  comes to a standstill as Ted and Chase go face-to-face in an event billed as the next tabloid  
  'Frost versus Nixon' - left activists surround the building and the recipe is set for an outlandish  
  denouement...

  99 Bottles is a highly opinionated wine guide from one of the country’s most celebrated—and unorthodox—sommeliers and winemakers. 
    
  In this entertaining, informative, and thoroughly unconventional wine guide, award-winning sommelier, winemaker, and wine educator André Hueston Mack presents readers with the 99 bottles that have most impacted his life. Instead of just pairing wines with foods, Mack pairs practical information with personal stories, offering up recommendations alongside reflections on being one of the only African Americans to ever work at the top level of the American wine industry. 
    
  The 99 bottles range from highly accessible commercial wines to the most rarefied Bordeaux on the wine list at The French Laundry, and each bottle offers readers something to learn about wine. This window into Mack’s life combines a maverick’s perspective on the wine industry with an insider’s advice on navigating wine lists, purchasing wine, and drinking more diverse and interesting selections at home. 99 Bottles is a one-of-a-kind exploration of wine culture today from a true trailblazer.
