    “If I abstain from fun and such, / I'll probably amount to much, / But I shall stay the way I am, / Because I do not give a damn.” 
      
    American poet Dorothy Parker lived a life of heartache and hardship, but her writing became her weapon to fight back. She refused to temper her strong opinions, even at the cost of her editorial position at Vanity Fair. Parker continued to write—unfiltered and unapologetic—and found solidarity in community with other writers. Enough Rope was Parker’s first volume of poetry, featuring poems originally published in Life, Vanity Fair, and The New Yorker. Parker’s poetry has galvanized generations of strong-willed women, and the fire in her voice burns strong even a century after the first publication.

    A book to help the ordinary birdwatcher appreciate the fascinating songs, stories, and science of common birds. 
     
     
     
    Jack Gedney's studies of birds provide resonant, affirming answers to the questions: Who is this bird? In what way is it beautiful? Why does it matter? Masterfully linking an abundance of poetic references with up-to-date biological science, Gedney shares his devotion to everyday Western birds in fifteen essays. Each essay illuminates the life of a single species and its relationship to humans, and how these species can help us understand birds in general. A dedicated birdwatcher and teacher, Gedney finds wonder not only in the speed and glistening beauty of the Anna's hummingbird, but also in her nest building. He acclaims the turkey vulture's and red-tailed hawk's roles in our ecosystem, and he venerates the inimitable California scrub jay's work planting acorns. Knowing that we hear birds much more often than we see them, Gedney offers his expert's ear to help us not only identify bird songs and calls but also understand what the birds are saying. The crowd at the suet feeder will never look quite the same again. Join Gedney in the enchanted world of these not-so-ordinary birds.

    ***NEW ZEALAND’S LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE*** 
    Two New Zealand Classics—now available with an introduction by Amberley Ember. 
    The year is 1865. 34-year-old Annie, freshly married, sets sail for New Zealand where she will serve as a helpmeet for her second husband, Fred. They live in Christchurch until they can build their house in the sheep-farming Canterbury High Country. Soon, Lady Annie Barker is tending to dogs and chickens, learning how to boil potatoes and galloping side-saddle on her horse through the fresh, miasma-free air. Just when the newlyweds begin to feel settled, they are caught in a great snowstorm, and swindled in a land deal. 
    This is two books in one: Station Life in New Zealand (1870) and Station Amusements (1873).
