Summary

A comprehensive primer that will have you hooking your way through simple to more difficult projects—with step-by-step photos!   Rug hooking at its simplest is pulling loops of colorful wool fabric through a piece of linen backing to create beautiful designs for the floor or wall. Though in years past this was accomplished with a bent nail, a feed bag, and worn-out clothing, today we have specialized hooks and other tools that make the process much easier. In Basic Rug Hooking, you will learn what tools and materials you need to get started, and how to pull your first loops. Once you’ve learned and practiced the basics, you will be ready to try any of the five hooked projects included. Each project includes the pattern and complete step-by-step illustrated instructions.   The styles of rugs you can make once you’ve learned the basic hooking process are endless. Rug hookers today create traditional florals, bright geometrics, pictorials, portraits, and primitives perfect for the modern farmhouse. Basic Rug Hooking teaches you everything you need to know to start hooking today!

    At home, work, and out in our ever-changing world, we're all just doing our best. In this modern parody, Frog and Toad are here to commiserate and lend some laughter.Full of wry humor and deep compassion for our modern vulnerabilities, the stories in Frog and Toad Are Doing Their Best perfectly capture the heartwarming authenticity of Lobel’s famous amphibian friends while revealing razor-sharp truths about the world we live in today. Through Frog and Toad, we see the anxieties that are woven throughout our everyday existence, from our well-meaning but often-failed attempts at practicing self-care to our struggle to balance the gifts and burdens of technology. Toad ponders a variety of questionable schemes to pay off his credit cards, while Frog spends too much time scrolling through the newsfeed on his phone. But despite their daily frustrations and existential concerns, they know that having a friend to share life’s burdens makes even the darkest days brighter.

    The acclaimed food writer’s “go-to guide for Austin eating” shares classic and creative recipes from the city’s greatest restaurants (Publishers Weekly). 
     
    The story of Austin food is equal parts deep Texan traditions and a booming food scene. It is this atmosphere that has fostered some of the hottest restaurants in the country, a lively food truck community, and a renaissance in the most Texan of foods: barbecue.  
     
    Austin food is also tacos and Tex-Mex, old fashioned Southern cooking, street food and fine dining, with influences from all over the globe. Above all, it’s a source of pride and inspiration for chefs and diners alike.  
     
    Organized by Austin’s “major food groups”, The Austin Cookbook explores the roots of Texas food traditions and the restaurants that are reinventing them, revealing the secrets to Bob Armstrong dip, Odd Duck’s sweet potato nachos, East Side King’s beet fries, and of course, smoked brisket that has people lining up to eat it—even in the Texas summer.  
     
    Part cookbook, part restaurant guide, and 100 percent love letter, The Austin Cookbook is perfect for proud locals, curious visitors, and (t)ex-pats.

    Peter Levi paints a radiant portrait of the Greece he came to know through a lifetime of exploration. As a young scholar he sought out its ancient spirit, the keys to its mythology and civilisation, in its ruined cities and majestic mountains. Later, as a priest working as a diplomat and a friend of the oppressed, he lived in Athens through the dark days of the dictatorship. The sinews of political life led back to secret alliances made during the civil war and the earlier occupation of Greece, back to murder, starvation and corpse-filled quarries. Lastly, he sees the country through the mature eyes of a family man, with the ripened sensibility of an acclaimed poet. This is a precious fusion of experience and insight from one philhellene to all those who have come to love Greece.

    When the bombastic Mr. Bickersdyke is initially introduced to Psmith, he is overwhelmingly underwhelmed. He declares that if he ever got Psmith under his thumb at the New Asiatic Bank, which he manages, Bickersdyke would knock the nonsense out of him in no time. And so it naturally follows that when Psmith and his friend Mike Jackson come to join the questionable forces of the bank, there is plenty of nonsense knocked about. ¶ Chock full of colorful characters and whimsical situations, Mike and Psmith take on the city with vigorous vim.

    America's leading psychic shares heartwarming, tear-jerking tales about the role of our beloved pets on the Other Side. It's said that pets don't have souls. World-famous spiritual guide and psychic Sylvia Browne knows better. Drawing on 40 years of research and stories, she explains how animals "live" after death on the Other Side. She also reveals how animals fit into creation, the purpose of pets in our lives, how we will see our deceased pets in the afterlife, and how living animals see spirits. Pets have personalities, habits, and quirks. They exhibit never-ending loyalty and comic behavior, and they are capable of heroic deeds. We need no longer fear that we will never see them again after death. Featuring moving tales about pets across the country and around the world, All Pets Go to Heaven reassures animal lovers that pets do, indeed, have souls.
