  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.

  Quando l'audiolibro è donna: io...

  Questo è il primo di una serie di cinque piccoli volumetti sulla mia esperienza con gli audiolibri.Non si tratta di manualistica o del solito metodo miracoloso per far soldi, bensì di vita vissuta, di quello che si tocca con mano davvero e non in ipotesi in questo particolarissimo settore dell'editoria. Una sorta di "case history" a puntate o a episodi su audiolibri e podcast, ma da leggere. Possibilmente con un sorriso.  
  Valerio Di Stefano (1964) è filologo, linguista e ispanista. Siccome non sapeva cosa fare, quindici anni fa è penetrato nella gabbia degli audiolibri e non è più riuscito a uscirne, ma si sta già attrezzando. Come narratore ha pubblicato, tra gli altri, “La voce nel deserto”, “Malinverno”, “Confessione d’un amore fascista”, “La mossa del cavillo” e il recentissimo “Minchia, Signor Tenente!”. In realtà nella vita è padre di Adele Marie e ‘tato’ di Birba che gli ha regalato soltanto dodici cuccioli.

  Counting: Humans History and the...

  SHORTLISTED FOR THE BRITISH SOCIETY FOR THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE PRIZE 2025 
  SHORTLISTED FOR THE NEUMANN PRIZE 2025 
  WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO COUNT? WHY ARE HUMANS THE ONLY SPECIES ON EARTH THAT CAN DO IT? WHERE DID COUNTING COME FROM? HOW HAS IT SHAPED SOCIETIES ALONG THE WAY? AND WHY DOES IT MATTER? 
  Counting is an innovative, erudite, world-wrapping journey through humanity’s marvellous ability to impose numbers on things. Acclaimed historian and mathematician Benjamin Wardhaugh draws on stories from the Stone Age to cyberspace in pursuit of the elusive, fascinating, endlessly diverse history of human counting. 
  Starting with the roots of counting in human brains, bodies and environments, Wardhaugh tours us around the world and through time while exploring the different flavours of counting that have developed over millennia. We meet the makers of bead necklaces in ancient South Africa, the inventors of writing in the world ’ s first metropolis, and the ‘counter culture’ of classical Athens. We see counting used – and changed – by Indian scholars, Chinese peasants and Papuan shopkeepers; we meet the distinctive numerate agendas of Mayan kings, US governments and Korean vloggers. 
  Weaving these stories together, Wardhaugh shows how cultures have shaped counting, and how counting has shaped culture, in a rich tapestry spanning thousands of years. This is the vast story of human attempts to find some order in an unruly world; or, perhaps, to impose on a reluctant world the order that humans find within themselves. It is a history as wide, deep and tangled as that of humanity itself 
  In Counting, Benjamin Wardhaugh masterfully intertwines philosophy, science, and anthropology to further delve into the intricacies of our numerical world. The book not only explores the mathematical aspects of counting but also its social and cultural implications, making it a must-read for anyone interested in the evolution of civilisation. 
  For fans of David Spiegelhalter (The Art of Uncertainty), Cat Bohannon (Eve), Rory Stewart (The Marches), Anne Applebaum (Autocracy, Inc), and Peter Frankopan (The New Silk Roads).
