  Irish Aran knitting is a living tradition with a worldwide reach. Arans communicate warmth, comfort and a sense of home, which people the world over continue to respond to, even though the connection to our rocky outcroppings in the Atlantic Ocean may be long forgotten. 
  Aran grew up in the harsh environment of the Aran Islands where everyday wear consisted of home-spun fabrics and knits. Today Aran survives as part of a rich craft heritage and as high and slow fashion on the catwalks of the world. 
  Vawn Corrigan explores the history, mythology and growth of this iconic design in this beautiful and informative hardback book.

  POKER MATH - Putting the Odds in...

  There is no possible way to overestimate the significance of poker math. In the absence of a good understanding of probability and statistics, players are more prone to make judgments solely on their intuition or "feel," which can result in potentially disastrous outcomes. Although intuition can be useful in certain circumstances, it is not a reliable strategy for making decisions that are guaranteed to generate consistent profits. Poker Math offers players a trustworthy framework for making decisions based on the likelihood of specific outcomes in the game of poker. 
  Probability is regarded as one of the most fundamental ideas in poker mathematics. The study of how likely it is that something will take place is what we mean when we talk about probability. A player's ability to assess the possibility of forming specific hands in poker, the odds of winning a hand based on the amount of outs, and the probability of their opponents holding certain hands requires a grasp of probability. Players can eliminate the need to speculate or rely on their gut instincts by developing an understanding of probability, which enables them to make judgments based on the likelihood of various events. 
  Consider the following scenario: a player holds a pair of 7s in their pocket, and the flop reads 10-7-2. The player now has a set, which is a very strong hand and one of the best possible outcomes. On the other hand, there is a flush draw on the board, which indicates that if another player has two cards of the same suit, they have a chance to build a flush and beat the player who already has a set. By having a concept of probability, the player is able to compute the likelihood that another player possesses two cards of the same suit and then make a choice based on that information.

  The beloved star of Sister, Sister and former co-host of The Real sheds her “good girl” image and inspires women to do the same in this powerful memoir. A lighthearted and supremely entertaining memoir, You Should Sit Down for This is like spending the afternoon sharing tea, fresh baked cookies, and conversation with Tamera Mowry-Housley, the fun-loving, wisdom-sharing girlfriend we all need in our lives (always ready to top off your wine!). Most of us know Tamera Mowry-Housley as a beloved TV star—one‑half of the memorable duo on the hit show Sister, Sister and co-host of the FOX talk show The Real. Tamera’s spunky Sister, Sister character stole the hearts of millions, but the transition in the public eye from teen-girl star to grown woman with a family and thriving career wasn’t easy. Being raised in Hawaii as an army brat instilled in her the discipline needed to succeed and conquer her dreams, but she felt secluded and sheltered, and wondered if living on her own terms would ever be her reality. Then, she decided it would. Vowing to live true to herself, Tamera stopped letting other people define her, tapped into her faith, and tossed away negativity to hone her own happiness and create a unique path forward for herself. In this pink book of quirky advice and storytelling, she encourages everyone to do the same. A celebration of love, cookies, and the juicy parts of life, she’ll leave you feeling liberated and motivated to embrace the highs and lows of growing. In You Should Sit Down for This, Tamera shares heartfelt stories about exiling herself from the world of beauty pageants, the pressures of being a teenage star, her struggle with rejection, the craziness of dating later in life, the challenges of balancing family and career, and why it’s okay for women to hide out in their closets when they just need a few minutes of peace. Tamera doesn’t shy away from the tough experiences, hilarious missteps, and big lessons it took to build a thriving career and the full life she’s living today.  Our favorite girl next door offers “Tameraisms,”—bite-sized pieces of wisdom to empower other women to step up to life’s unexpected turns and surprises and make it all work. You Should Sit Down for This is a much-needed reminder of the magic that can happen when we open our minds and hearts to become the very best versions of ourselves.
