Summary

In "The Book of the Fly," George Hurlstone Hardy intricately weaves scientific insight with poetic reflection, exploring the multifaceted life of the fly. This work harmonizes keen observation and lyrical prose, providing readers with a blend of entomological detail and philosophical musings. Hardy's writing transcends a mere catalog of fly species; it invites readers to contemplate the ecological significance and the symbolic resonance of these small creatures within the broader narrative of life. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century natural history literature, the book reflects Hardy's deep admiration for nature and his commitment to capturing its essence through evocative language. Hardy, a British naturalist and writer, draws upon his extensive field studies and fascination with the natural world to compose this engaging volume. His background in both the sciences and humanities fuels a rich narrative style that integrates rigorous research with personal anecdotes. Hardy's childhood experiences of exploring the English countryside laid the foundation for his lifelong passion for entomology and the natural sciences, each page reflecting his unwavering curiosity and his desire to share it with a broader audience. I highly recommend "The Book of the Fly" to anyone intrigued by the delicate interplay of nature and literature. Hardy's exquisite blend of scientific rigor and artistic expression will not only enlighten avid entomologists but also captivate readers who appreciate the beauty of nature's intricate tapestry. This work stands as a testament to the extraordinary lives of often-overlooked creatures and invites thoughtful reflection on our relationship with the natural world.

    Amy Shah, MD, leading medical doctor and Instagram personality @fastingmd, shares her proven 5-step program for battling excessive hunger and food cravings by harnessing the power of psychobiotics and intermittent fasting. 
 
“My mission is to revolutionize the way we think about hunger and nutrition, and to help people manage hunger and cravings and break free from the tyranny of diets and battles with food. I’ve seen my program work for people all over the world. And it will work for you, too.” —from the introduction by Dr. Amy Shah 
Dr. Amy Shah kept hearing the same complaints from her patients: “I feel hungry all the time, even when I just ate.” “My cravings are out of control.” They were white-knuckling it through yet another diet plan, only to feel depleted, frustrated, and really effing hungry. 
So she created I’m So Effing Hungry, a science-based plan designed to help you take charge of your health and your cravings, without feeling deprived. As Dr. Shah explains, cravings aren’t your fault—and eating a healthier diet isn’t just a matter of self-discipline or willpower. There are powerful biological forces at play in your body that govern your hunger levels and cravings. 
Drawing on the emerging science of psychobiotics—healthy gut bacteria that help improve mood and regulate hunger, weight, and cravings—Dr. Shah has created a 5-step plan to help you make peace with food and your body: 
STEP 1. REPLENISH: your body by eating more nourishing, mood-balancing foods. 
STEP 2. REWIRE: your brain to undo the addiction pathways and cravings for processed foods. 
STEP 3. RESET: your circadian rhythm to activate hunger hormones that reduce your appetite. 
STEP 4. REFRESH: with a good night’s sleep, using proven good sleep habits used by the U.S. military. 
STEP 5. RETRAIN: your body with exercise that regulates key neurotransmitters that influence our hunger response. 
Complete with more than thirty delicious recipes and peppered with easy Hunger Hacks and Cravings Crushers—like eating walnuts to reduce hunger and getting direct sunlight first thing in the morning—I’m So Effing Hungry is a complete guide to help you reframe decades-old dieting patterns and stop fighting the scale.

    A long-treasured but forgotten classic of folk healing, with an introduction and commentary by the author of Backwoods Witchcraft and Doctoring the Devil.Ossman & Steel’s Guide to Health or Household Instructor (its original title) is a collection of spells, remedies, and charms. The book draws from the old Pennsylvania Dutch and German powwow healing practices that in turn helped shape Appalachian folk healing, conjure, rootwork, and many folk healing traditions in America. Jake Richards, author of Backwoods Witchcraft and Doctoring the Devil, puts these remedies in context, with practical advice for modern-day “backwoods” healers interested to use them today. The first part contains spells and charms for healing wounds, styes, broken bones, maladies, and illnesses of all sorts. The second part includes other folk remedies using ingredients based on sympathetic reasoning, including sulfuric acid, gunpowder, or other substances for swelling, toothache, headache, and so on. These remedies are presented here for historic interest, to help better understand how folk medicine evolved in America. It is Jake Richard’s hope that reintroducing this work will reestablish its position as a useful household helper in the library of every witch or country healer.
