Summary

"The Fruit Lover's Guide" presents a comprehensive journey through the world of fruit, from cultivation to consumption, examining how these natural foods connect to larger issues of global agriculture, sustainability, and nutrition. The book uniquely bridges the gap between scientific research and practical knowledge, offering insights into both traditional farming methods and modern agricultural technologies while maintaining accessibility for diverse readers.

 
The text progresses systematically through three main sections, beginning with agricultural practices and cultivation techniques, moving through global distribution networks, and concluding with nutritional impacts. Drawing from case studies across six continents, it reveals fascinating insights into how soil composition affects fruit development and how climate variations influence growing patterns. The author skillfully weaves together findings from agricultural scientists, farmers, and food historians to present a complete picture of modern fruit production and distribution systems.

 
This methodically organized work stands out for its interdisciplinary approach, connecting agricultural science with economics, anthropology, and environmental studies. Whether exploring sustainable farming practices, examining global food security challenges, or discussing agricultural biodiversity, the book maintains a balanced perspective that serves multiple audiences - from home gardeners to food industry professionals. Each chapter builds upon the previous one, incorporating practical applications while addressing current debates in sustainable agriculture and organic farming with objective, evidence-based analysis.

    If a friendship lasts longer than fifteen years, you're no longer friends. You're family. 
Since childhood, Lorna has been curious about Germany and her ancestral roots there. She was fourteen when her great-grandfather died, a man who was born in what is now part of Ukraine but who was a self-proclaimed, proud German. 
Having grown up during the Cold War, Lorna had always viewed the former East and West Germany as being starkly different until 1999, when she met Christine, a woman from the former East Germany who became one of Lorna's closest lifetime friends. 
Over twenty-five years, Lorna made several trips to Germany in search of the world's largest cuckoo clock, a hotel in Berlin where guests can sleep in a coffin or prison cell, another hotel along the Rhein River that is owned by a family who may or may not be Lorna's distant relatives, sausage that meets the Nuremberg Sausage Protection Association's standards, and the best view of Neuschwanstein Castle. 
In her most recent memoir, travel and humour writer Lorna Stuber tells of her adventures in Germany while she reconnects with and learns more about her familial ties to Europe.

    The 1931 winner of the Newbery Medal, finally in audiobook form with new original music. 
 
Elizabeth Coatsworth originally published The Cat Who Went to Heaven in 1930 with illustrations by celebrated artist Lynd Ward.  Set in a village in ancient Japan, the tale recounts the adoption of a cat by a poor painter and his housekeeper.  At first suspicious of the feline, the painter grows fonder as he depicts a succession of animals in a large silkscreen painting portraying “The Death of the Lord Buddha,” commissioned by the village temple.  As each animal appears in the painting, the reader receives a Buddhist folktale illustrating Buddhist teachings of kindness, mercy, and sacrifice. 
 
As the painter painstakingly creates his masterpiece, the adopted cat, whom the artist names Good Fortune, demonstrates a devotion to the Lord Buddha and his teachings that surprises and inspires the humble household.  Through her behavior and deeds, Good Fortune steadily overcomes the reputation of the cat as the one animal too proud to pay homage to the Lord Buddha.  She earns her place alongside her fellow creatures, her place in heaven. 
 
While generations have treasured The Cat Who Went to Heaven, this is the first audiobook production of the work.  Why?  The music.  Coatsworth broke up the narrative into eight parts, and ended each part with a “song of the housekeeper” that provided an emotional summary of the preceding scenes.  Coatsworth presented the songs, however, as simple poems, and never offered the chords or melodies that would allow a narrator to easily sing the songs.  This audiobook contains original musical compositions based on Coatsworth’s lyrics from the text.

    A "hauntingly effective" surrealist travel memoir about the mysterious transformations that may lurk inside us all (Library Journal, starred review). 
 
 
 
Venice, 2020. As a pandemic rages across the globe, Zito Madu finds himself in a nearly deserted city, its walls and basilicas humming with strange magic. As he wanders a haunted landscape, we see him twist further into his own past: his family's difficult immigration from Nigeria to Detroit, his troubled relationship with his father, the sporadic joys of daily life and solitude, his experiences with migration, poverty, foreignness, racism, and his own rage and regret. But as it is with all labyrinths, after finding its center, will he come away unscathed, or will he transform into the gripping, fantastical monstrousness that's out to consume him whole? 
 
 
 
With nods to Italo Calvino and Jorge Luis Borges, this surrealist debut memoir takes us into the labyrinth of memory and the monsters lurking there.
