    Explore the unique farming culture of New Mexico through stories, recipes, and photographs in this book of rustic artisanal living.   Life is hard for the artisanal farmers of New Mexico—but they wouldn't have it any other way. They take pride in their land, their soil, their crops, and their families. Competition for business is friendly and cordial. Neighbors help neighbors, and community is key. They eagerly await the farmers markets not only to sell their wares, but to renew their friendships and swap stories of their mishaps, trials, and adventures.   Laden with rich photos, ripe with human interest stories, and bounteous with tantalizing recipes, Artisan Farming explores this state's one-of-a-kind agricultural heritage and the revival of traditional, organic, and "artisan" farming. Readers will discover the small farms, farmers' markets, community-supported agriculture organizations, heritage seed exchanges, and other entries that have made the independent farming revival possible.

    From its winners to its sinners, two bestselling sportswriters chronicle a dizzying trip through more than a century of baseball lore and legend.   Some of the stories are celebrated—from Ruth’s called shot to DiMaggio’s streak to Mays’s catch. Some of the men are titans of the game—Mantle, Williams, Koufax. But alongside those stories passed from generation to generation, Daniel Okrent and Steve Wulf have assembled tales both hard-to-believe and a pleasure to read. From the Black Sox scandal to Bill Veeck’s bizarre promotions, from its icons and iconoclasts, from the humble origins of the game to the landmark moments that made it the national pastime, Baseball Anecdotes reveals the enthralling (and often amusing) game that goes on both on the field and behind the scenes of baseball.   “A dandy introduction to the game.” —Newsweek   “A must . . . Its greatest value might be to those of us who want to pass along baseball lore to our children.” —San Jose Mercury News   “Beguiling . . . A history of the game in stories . . . Comic, tragic, controversial.” —The New York Times Book Review
