  Small Fires - An Epic in the...

  A bracingly original, revelatory debut that explores cooking and the kitchen as sources of pleasure, constraint, and revolution, by a rising star in food writing 
   
   
   
  This joyful, revelatory work of memory and meditation both complicates and electrifies life in the kitchen. 
   
   
   
  Why do we cook? Is it just to feed ourselves and others? Or is there something more revolutionary going on? 
   
   
   
  In Small Fires, Rebecca May Johnson reinvents cooking—that simple act of rolling up our sleeves, wielding a knife, spattering red hot sauce on our books—as a way of experiencing ourselves and the world. Cooking is thinking: about the liberating constraint of tying apron strings; the transformative dynamics of shared meals; the meaning of appetite and bodily pleasure; the wild subversiveness of the recipe, beyond words or control. 
   
   
   
  Small Fires shows us the radical potential of the thing we do every day: the power of small fires burning everywhere.

  Inhabiting a landscape, walking a landscape, writing a place and time. 
  Linda Cracknell is a writer of place and nature who believes in being alert, observing, and writing from the particulars of each experience. Engaging bodily with her writing, she is someone for whom getting mud on her boots, sleeping high up in the hills, or being slapped by salt water can all be part of her process. She follows Susan Sontag's advice to “Love words, agonize over sentences and pay attention to the world.”  
  In this varied collection of essays, Linda backpacks on a small island that is connected to the mainland at low tide, musing on the nineteenth-century Scottish writer whose character was shipwrecked there. She hikes the wooded mountain trail close to her home in winter snow—a place she is intimately familiar with in all weathers and seasons—and she retraces the steps of a multiday hike made almost seven decades after her parents trod the route together. She explores her inspirations, in nature and from other artists and their work.  
  Reading this collection will open your eyes to the world around you and how you can observe, take note, and later commit those notes and memories to written pieces that will evoke the place and time.

  Gardening with Native Plants -...

  Gardening with native plants is more than just a gardening trend—it is a powerful way to contribute to the health of local ecosystems. In a world where biodiversity is under threat and many ecosystems are in decline, the role of gardeners in preserving and enhancing local ecology has never been more important. By choosing native plants, gardeners can create environments that support local wildlife, improve soil health, reduce the need for water and chemicals, and restore natural habitats that have been altered or lost due to urbanization and agriculture. This book explores the profound ecological benefits of native plants and how to incorporate them into your garden in a way that enhances the environment around you. 
  Native plants are those that have evolved naturally in a specific region over thousands of years, adapting to the local climate, soil, and ecological conditions. Unlike non-native species, which may lack the ability to support local wildlife or may even become invasive, native plants have developed symbiotic relationships with local insects, birds, and animals, offering food, shelter, and habitats. Their deep-root systems improve soil health by preventing erosion and promoting water retention. By understanding and utilizing these plants, gardeners can play a vital role in supporting biodiversity, which is crucial for maintaining balanced ecosystems. 
  Beyond their ecological benefits, native plants are often well-suited for low-maintenance gardening. Once established, they typically require less water, fewer fertilizers, and minimal pest control, making them a sustainable choice for the environmentally-conscious gardener. Whether you are working with a large plot of land, a small suburban yard, or even an urban balcony, there is a wide variety of native plants that can thrive in your garden.
