  From midwifing new lambs to harvesting basil, Jessica Gigot invites the reader into her life on a small farm and the uncommon road that led her there. Fascinated by farming and the burgeoning local food movement, she spent her twenties wandering the Pacific Northwest, interning at small farms and doing graduate work in horticulture, always with an eye towards learning as much as she could about how and why people farm. Despite numerous setbacks and the many challenges of farming, she created a family and farm life defined by resilience and a genuine love of the land.   
  In A Little Bit of Land, Gigot explores the intricacies of small-scale agriculture in the Pacific Northwest and the changing role of women in this male-dominated industry. Gigot alternates between chapters describing joys, routines, and challenges of farm life and chapters reflecting on her formative experiences in agriculture, on farms and in classrooms from Ashland to the Skagit Valley. Throughout, she explores questions of sustainability, economics, health, and food systems.

  From Chaos to Stability - How...

  Israel Rosenfield, Edward Ziff

  At the heart of Israel Rosenfield and Edward Ziff's inquiry is the nature of brain function. The sensory world is disordered and chaotic. There are no labels for tables, chairs, or airplanes, and indeed there are no colors, sounds, or smells, only photons, airwaves, odorant molecules, and so on, which are unlabeled and impossible to "know." 
   
   
   
  To make sense of this chaos, the brain must simplify the sensory inputs by creating, or inventing, the colors, sounds, smells, forms, and faces that are perceived in consciousness, which become a proxy for the chaotic world in which we live. The brain's ability to generalize and categorize these invented perceptions, and to relate them to one another, enables it to form memories, which are not fixed representations of things past, but a dynamic and malleable function of the brain that is relational. 
   
   
   
  When formation of these worlds breaks down, neurological differences arise. Although the mechanisms that transform sensory chaos into the simplified perceptions experienced in consciousness remain elusive, Rosenfield and Ziff relate what they have learned by means of imaging brain activity and by mapping the neural circuits that comprise memory traces. In addition, the authors offer perspectives for future studies of consciousness.

  Now an audiobook, this groundbreaking book by renowned Harvard neurologist Bernstein launched on the Today show to great acclaim and sales. It’s the only book to present the newest science on migraine headaches as well as offer a comprehensive program to treat them—and will change the lives of migraine sufferers forever. 
   
  Thirty million Americans get migraines, often with excruciating headache pain. Dr. Carolyn Bernstein, a migraine sufferer herself, explains that certain unique chemical and structural differences in “the migraine brain” and central nervous system cause the many symptoms associated with migraines. Even though migraines cannot be completely cured, readers can decrease the number of migraines they experience and lessen their intensity with the personalized wellness program that Dr. Bernstein provides. Readers learn their own patterns and triggers and how to prevent, abort, and stop migraines. 
   
  Packed with the latest clinical and pharmacological research, as well as lively anecdotes, celebrity interviews, and quizzes and questionnaires, The Migraine Brain has been hailed as “the ultimate migraine resource” by Nieca Goldberg, M.D. 
   
  This audiobook is expertly read by Sara Sheckells, with audio engineering by Blake Rook. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

  Life at the Speed of Play -...

  With an introduction read by the author himself, Mark Pincus, and acclaimed narrator Fred Sanders, comes an unconventional, hands-on guide to turning ideas into products that matter—and that people love—from the legendary Silicon Valley pioneer, founder of Zynga, and creator of Stanford Graduate School of Business’s product management course. 
  Mark Pincus has been at the forefront of each iteration of the internet. He built the original app company ahead of the mobile app economy and sold virtual goods to the masses long before in-app purchase generated $85 billion on smartphones. As the founder of Zynga, he brought us FarmVille, CityVille, and Words with Friends, launching eight hit games and reaching more than a billion users in four years.  
  Pincus has turned hit-making into a repeatable system, birthing one of his favorite guiding principles that “all new fails”. Life at the Speed of Play is his framework for moving faster and massively increasing your odds of success. His insights and advice are essential in the new world of AI, where speed of testing and learning defines winners. 
  Bursting with wit, wisdom, and a core belief in tech’s endless capacity, each chapter of Life at the Speed of Play contains actionable takeaways based on Pincus’s unorthodox “Mark-isms” including “hire people with broken resumes,” “protect investors from themselves,” and, paradoxically, to “f*** scale” in favor of quality over quantity. 
  What They Don’t Teach You at Harvard Business School for the twenty-first century, here is the essential “bible” for entrepreneurs, product managers, innovators, and anyone who has an idea—digital or analog—that they dream of turning into a reality.
