Unraveling - What I Learned...

Peggy Orenstein

“Orenstein is such a breezy, funny writer, it’s easy to forget she’s an important thinker too.”—People 
In this lively, funny memoir, Peggy Orenstein sets out to make a sweater from scratch—shearing, spinning, dyeing wool—and in the process discovers how we find our deepest selves through craft. Orenstein spins a yarn that will appeal to everyone.   
The COVID pandemic propelled many people to change their lives in ways large and small. Some adopted puppies. Others stress-baked. Peggy Orenstein, a lifelong knitter, went just a little further. To keep herself engaged and cope with a series of seismic shifts in family life, she set out to make a garment from the ground up: learning to shear sheep, spin and dye yarn, then knitting herself a sweater. 
Orenstein hoped the project would help her process not just wool but her grief over the recent death of her mother and the decline of her dad, the impending departure of her college-bound daughter, and other thorny issues of aging as a woman in a culture that by turns ignores and disdains them. What she didn’t expect was a journey into some of the major issues of our time: climate anxiety, racial justice, women’s rights, the impact of technology, sustainability, and, ultimately, the meaning of home. 
With her wry voice, sharp intelligence, and exuberant honesty, Orenstein shares her year-long journey as daughter, wife, mother, writer, and maker—and teaches us all something about creativity and connection.  
Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook. 
Unraveling is a memoir that explores Peggy Orenstein's journey into the world of knitting as a way to cope with the pandemic and other personal struggles. Through her exploration of the cultural history of wool dying, carding, and spinning, she provides readers with a deeper understanding of the true meaning of creativity and the importance of pursuing hobbies. This book is a perfect gift for anyone looking for inspiration and insight into the power of DIY projects.

Midwifery - The Art and Science...

Stacey Wilmore

Midwifery is a practice that has been integral to childbirth for centuries, evolving from ancient traditions to a sophisticated combination of art and science. At its core, midwifery is the profession of providing care to women during pregnancy, labor, birth, and the postpartum period. The midwife’s role extends far beyond delivering babies; it encompasses emotional, physical, and educational support, ensuring that the birthing experience is as safe and empowering as possible for mothers and their families. In many ways, midwifery represents a holistic approach to birth, integrating medical knowledge with compassionate care and respect for the natural process of labor.
The art of midwifery is founded on intuition, experience, and a deep understanding of the needs of women throughout their reproductive journey. Midwives possess a unique ability to read the subtle cues of a woman's body, supporting her during labor with techniques that promote comfort, relaxation, and confidence. Whether through guided breathing, massage, or providing words of encouragement, the midwife’s role often transcends the clinical to become a deeply personal and emotional experience for both the birthing person and their support system.
On the other hand, midwifery is also a science, deeply rooted in medical knowledge and evidence-based practices. Midwives are trained to monitor the health of both mother and baby, assess potential risks, and intervene when necessary. They are skilled in recognizing complications and know when to collaborate with obstetricians or other healthcare professionals to ensure the best possible outcomes. This balance between intuition and medical expertise allows midwives to provide a level of care that is both compassionate and scientifically sound.

Lepidopterology - Butterflies...

Mike Crawford

Lepidopterology is the branch of entomology dedicated to the study of butterflies and moths, which together make up the order Lepidoptera. This field examines their anatomy, behavior, life cycles, ecological roles, and evolutionary history. Scientists and enthusiasts alike have contributed to a growing body of knowledge that enhances our understanding of these fascinating insects and their importance in ecosystems. 
The study of Lepidoptera dates back centuries, with early naturalists documenting species variations and their transformations. One of the earliest references comes from Aristotle, who noted the metamorphosis of caterpillars into winged adults. In the 17th and 18th centuries, scientific classification systems began to take shape, with Carolus Linnaeus organizing butterflies and moths within his broader taxonomy of life. As entomology advanced, researchers uncovered more details about their lifespans, migration patterns, and interactions with other species. 
Beyond taxonomy, lepidopterology explores the critical role butterflies and moths play in the environment. Many species serve as pollinators, aiding in the reproduction of flowering plants. Their presence in an ecosystem can also indicate environmental health, as they are highly sensitive to habitat changes and climate fluctuations. Conservationists rely on butterfly and moth populations to assess biodiversity and detect ecological imbalances caused by deforestation, pollution, or climate change.
