  Our linear ways of thinking about, organizing and planning our cities do not meet the true nature of cities as complex and messy systems. There are no simple solutions to the challenges we face: many citizens don't feel they belong; we don't agree on how to best move around; many don't have jobs or homes they can afford; we make running businesses hard work; we are facing challenges with the climate crisis and a pandemic. At a time when understanding the relationship between our physical, economic and social habitats is essential, Sanders sets forth an approach to work with the disruptions of our times. 
  Drawing on her expertise as a city planner and a relationship-broker in the conflicts that surface in city life, Sanders offer strategies to explore how cities, public institutions, community organizations and the business community can work together to improve our cities. She explores the evolutionary nature of our relationship with cities, and how the tension we experience in city life compels each of us to work to improve and regenerate our cities. 
  Nest City articulates the importance of having a sense of direction, being willing as citizens and cities to learn along the way, and accepting the uncertainty and messiness of cities as opportunities to make cities that serve cities well. Nest City will forever alter the way to look at your city, your local public institutions, community organizations or businesses--and how you think about and contribute to your city.

  Emoting is a chapbook that explores the delicate and often overwhelming nature of human emotions through a series of evocative, introspective short-form narratives and poems. Each piece captures a fleeting moment, a spark of feeling, or an emotional truth that lingers long after the reader has read the words. From joy to sorrow, from rage to quiet contemplation, the chapbook delves deep into the nuances of the emotional landscape, challenging readers to confront their own complex inner worlds. 
    
  With stark imagery and raw, unfiltered language, Emoting invites readers to experience the vulnerability and power that comes with expressing the things we often leave unspoken. Through fragmented narratives and moments of stillness, piece after piece illuminates the ways in which we process and navigate our feelings in a world that sometimes demands we keep them hidden. 
    
  At its core, Emoting is a celebration of the emotional spectrum — reminding us that our emotions, however messy or difficult, are what make us human. Each narrative and poem serves as an intimate exploration of what it means to feel deeply and to allow those feelings to shape our lives, even in their most chaotic and untamed forms.

  Kaffe Fassett has led an extraordinary life and is a captivating storyteller with a vivid memory. Born in 1937, he spent much of his youth in Big Sur, California, where his parents bought a cabin from Orson Welles and transformed it into the world-famous Nepenthe restaurant, a gathering place for artists and bohemians. After attending a boarding school run by the disciples of Krishnamurti, an Indian guru, he studied painting at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, then traveled to England, where he made his home. After an inspiring trip to Inverness, Scotland, Fassett began designing knitwear for Bill Gibb, and then the Missonis, Vogue magazine, and private clients like Lauren Bacall and Barbra Streisand, and, in the process, revolutionized the handknitting world with his explosive use of color. Further explorations led him to needlepoint, mosaics, rugmaking, tapestries, yarn and fabric design, costume and set design, and quilting. Now in his seventies, Fassett continues to produce new work and to travel worldwide to teach and lecture. In this intimate autobiography, Fassett shares rich, detailed stories about his lifelong creative journey as well as hundreds of glorious photos taken along the way.

  Art Therapy - The Study and...

  Art has been an integral part of human expression for millennia, transcending language and culture to communicate thoughts, emotions, and experiences. In the realm of therapy, art serves as a transformative tool, offering individuals a unique way to process their emotions, explore their identities, and navigate life’s challenges. Art therapy bridges the gap between the conscious and unconscious mind, enabling a form of expression that words often fail to capture. 
  At its core, art therapy leverages the creative process to foster emotional healing and psychological growth. Unlike traditional talk therapy, where verbal articulation is central, art therapy focuses on the act of creation itself. This approach allows individuals to externalize their feelings, making abstract emotions tangible and, therefore, easier to understand and address. Whether through painting, drawing, sculpting, or digital media, the act of making art provides a safe and nonjudgmental space for self-reflection and exploration. 
  The power of art in therapy lies in its accessibility. You do not need to be an artist to benefit from art therapy. The emphasis is not on the aesthetic value of the work but on the process and what it reveals. For children, who may lack the vocabulary to articulate complex feelings, art therapy offers a way to communicate visually. Adults, too, find solace in the creative process, as it can unlock suppressed emotions and provide clarity in moments of confusion or distress.
