  A restorative and resonant memoir of a year in the life of an aging shepherd 
  		 
  For 50 years, Barbara McLean has tended a flock of Border Leicester sheep on her small Ontario farm, Lambsquarters. In Shepherd’s Sight she shares the crises, pleasures, and challenges of farm life over the course of a year. Now in her 70s, McLean faces a new problem: how much longer she can continue with the physically taxing work that is her central source of meaning and satisfaction.  
  		 
  Through her unsentimental gaze, we witness the highs and heartbreaks of delivering and rearing lambs, the shearing and spinning of wool, the wildlife in the woods (and occasionally in the house), and the garden produce moving from seed to harvest to table. Even after half a century on this land, McLean is still making fresh observations, and she shares them in evocative, elegant prose. As she moves through the calendar year, she also reflects on years past, offering a long view on climate, stewardship, and agriculture. 
  		 
  With its vivid description and absorbing storytelling, Shepherd’s Sight offers an unforgettable glimpse of a life lived on the land.

  FT Recommended Book on the Global Trade War
  'It succeeds both in explaining how global trade works and how it affects things many voters actually care about' – Financial Times
  Why Politicians Lie About Trade – and What You Need to Know About It is your clear, witty crash‑course in how global trade really works – and how leaders weaponise it to win votes, wage culture wars and spin economic fairy tales.
  Written by former trade negotiator Dmitry Grozoubinski, this smart, highly readable book explains trade policy, not trade economics – no graphs, no jargon, just sharp stories, plain English and a built‑in "bullshit detector" for every grand promise about tariffs, trade deals and jobs.
  What this book shows you
  Across two parts – How Trade Works and Trade and the Things You Actually Care About – you'll discover:
  
  - How modern trade policy works in practice – from goods trade and services trade to customs unions, single markets, free trade agreements (FTAs), trade facilitation and the World Trade Organization (WTO).
  - Why protectionism is so tempting – and how tariffs, quotas, sanctions, trade embargoes and "keeping out foreign junk" are sold as painless fixes, even when they quietly destroy jobs, growth and innovation.
  - What "trading on WTO terms" really means – and why it's usually code for accepting the bare‑minimum market access on the same terms as the country your partners trust least.
  - How trade agreements are really negotiated – secrecy, leaks, horse‑trading, rules of origin, regulatory standards, dispute settlement and why no deal is ever truly "win‑win for everyone".
  - Trade and jobs – how trade policy is endlessly blamed or praised for employment figures, how politicians on all sides massage the numbers, and why press releases about "hundreds of thousands of jobs created" should make you sceptical.
  - Trade and national security, climate change and peace – from sanctions and export controls to green trade rules, economic interdependence and "trade for peace".
  Along the way, Grozoubinski dissects Trump, Brexit, trade wars, culture‑war soundbites, populist protectionism and media myths that turn complex tradeoffs into easy slogans.
  Why Politicians Lie About Trade is designed for non‑specialists who want to understand:
  
  - International trade, trade policy and globalisation/globalization without a degree in economics.
  - How tariffs, trade deals, customs unions, single markets, the WTO and trade wars actually affect jobs, prices, supply chains, national security and climate policy.
  - How to spot when politicians, lobbyists or commentators are lying or oversimplifying about trade, free trade agreements, "sovereignty" and "cutting red tape at the border".
  If you're tired of being dazzled by big numbers, empty promises and scary headlines about tariffs, trade wars and globalisation, this book hands you the tools to push back – calmly, confidently and with the facts on your side.

  Survival of Creativity in a Digital World 
  “The validation of others is not our fuel; the earth beneath our feet and our own souls are the oxygen for our creativity.” 
  In an age of relentless algorithms and "perfect" machine patterns, creators are under constant pressure to produce noise just to stay visible. We chase the illusion of digital discovery, only to find ourselves becoming interchangeable. 
  In this soulful survival guide, Wadih Moussa offers an excavation of the Human-Prime philosophy—the belief that our unique, intentional, and "scruffy" imperfections are exactly what make us irreplaceable. Moving beyond the "Weight of Scale" and the false meritocracy of likes, this book explores how to protect your "Line of Soul" and find a sustainable way to create in a world of automation. 
  Inside, you will explore: 
  Why we must stop competing with the perfection of the machine. 
  How to find your "Why" in a landscape obsessed with "What." 
  The transition from seeking validation to seeking intentionality. 
  Why your "personal winter" is the most fertile time for creative honesty. 
  Whether you are an artist, writer, or a seeker of authenticity, it is time to stop performing for the gaze of others and start breathing the oxygen of intentional creativity. 
  This audiobook is narrated by the synthetic voice of James, chosen to reflect the book’s exploration of the intersection between human soul and digital automation.
