Sinopsis

Arctic Wildlife explores the remarkable survival strategies of polar bears, arctic foxes, and seals in one of Earth's most extreme environments. It delves into their unique physiological adaptations that allow them to thrive in freezing temperatures and navigate the challenges of a sparse landscape.

 
Discover how polar bears rely on thick fur and fat reserves to endure icy conditions, while arctic foxes utilize cunning camouflage and scavenging abilities to survive food scarcity.

 
This book emphasizes the interconnectedness of these species within the Arctic ecosystem, revealing the delicate balance of the arctic food web. The book presents information in a clear, scientifically grounded manner, explaining complex ecological interactions without requiring prior expertise. For example, the dependence of seals on sea ice for breeding highlights the critical role this habitat plays.

 
The study progresses across chapters, first introducing the Arctic environment and then moving into detailed examinations of each species, culminating in an overview of the Arctic food web.

 
Ultimately, Arctic Wildlife underscores the vulnerability of these specialized species to climate change, particularly the shrinking sea ice. By documenting their adaptations and hunting behaviors, the book highlights the urgent need for wildlife conservation efforts to protect these iconic animals and preserve the fragile Arctic ecosystem.

    “Jennie’s blend of witchcraft and hygge resonates so deeply with me. In Hearth and Home Witchcraft, Jennie’s book is a joyful and supportive exploration of domestic witchcraft. Nourishment and comfort are important themes here, as is accessibility; you don't need a background in magick to start exploring hearth-craft.” —Arin Murphy-Hiscock, author of The Green Witch, The House Witch, and other books For author Jennie Blonde, witchcraft is, in and of itself, comforting. Sure, there are not-so-comfortable parts as well—working with the shadow, coming face to face with that which holds you back. Jennie’s witchcraft is about connecting with the magic of nature, your higher self, and something beyond—a deity, deities, Spirit, the universe—and being comfortable with your true self in all aspects of your life. “In times of anxiety,” Jennie writes, “I turn to my practice. When I need a moment of calm and reflection, I retreat to my sacred space for quiet meditation, pulling tarot cards, and journaling to nourish my soul. When I want to nourish my family, I turn to my garden and herbs and cauldron (my stockpot) for a bit of kitchen witchery. When I wish to nourish my body, I turn to mindful movement, self-care rituals, and spell work. And throughout the day, every day, there are small rituals I perform to keep me connected to my practice. It’s all of those things together that are the heart of my craft.”Hearth and Home Witchcraft explores the following topics:  rituals for protection and cleansing the hearth and home  kitchen witchery, creating a kitchen altar, and recipes and rituals for nourishment  the witch’s altar, tools, and spells, and creating a sacred space, no matter the size of the home  herbs and plants, grounding rituals, and meditations to connect you with the earth  witchy self-care, complete with rituals and recipes for ritual bath salts, oils, balms, and more

    A "hauntingly effective" surrealist travel memoir about the mysterious transformations that may lurk inside us all (Library Journal, starred review). 
     
     
     
    Venice, 2020. As a pandemic rages across the globe, Zito Madu finds himself in a nearly deserted city, its walls and basilicas humming with strange magic. As he wanders a haunted landscape, we see him twist further into his own past: his family's difficult immigration from Nigeria to Detroit, his troubled relationship with his father, the sporadic joys of daily life and solitude, his experiences with migration, poverty, foreignness, racism, and his own rage and regret. But as it is with all labyrinths, after finding its center, will he come away unscathed, or will he transform into the gripping, fantastical monstrousness that's out to consume him whole? 
     
     
     
    With nods to Italo Calvino and Jorge Luis Borges, this surrealist debut memoir takes us into the labyrinth of memory and the monsters lurking there.

    Thoughtful, wide-ranging essays exploring food as a source of pleasure, practical creativity, and sustenance
    		 
    Food is the primary way andrea bennett connects with the world. They worked in the restaurant industry for a decade, and though they don’t eat much meat and can’t eat gluten, they take as much pleasure in food as Jeffrey Steingarten, Anthony Bourdain, or Guy Fieri. When they want to show someone they care, they cook them a meal. The essays in Hearty offer a snapshot of the North American cultural relationship to food and eating. Hearty dives deep into specific foods, such as chutney, carrots, and ice cream, but also explores appetite and desire in food media, the art of substitution, seed saving and the triumphs and trials of being a home gardener, how the food system works (and doesn’t), and complex societal narratives around health and pleasure. Combining journalism, cultural commentary, and personal reflection, Hearty follows bennett’s curiosity into kitchens, gardens, fields, and factories, offering a compassionate and compelling perspective on food from seed to table.
