  “Orenstein is such a breezy, funny writer, it’s easy to forget she’s an important thinker too.”—People 
  In this lively, funny memoir, Peggy Orenstein sets out to make a sweater from scratch—shearing, spinning, dyeing wool—and in the process discovers how we find our deepest selves through craft. Orenstein spins a yarn that will appeal to everyone.   
  The COVID pandemic propelled many people to change their lives in ways large and small. Some adopted puppies. Others stress-baked. Peggy Orenstein, a lifelong knitter, went just a little further. To keep herself engaged and cope with a series of seismic shifts in family life, she set out to make a garment from the ground up: learning to shear sheep, spin and dye yarn, then knitting herself a sweater. 
  Orenstein hoped the project would help her process not just wool but her grief over the recent death of her mother and the decline of her dad, the impending departure of her college-bound daughter, and other thorny issues of aging as a woman in a culture that by turns ignores and disdains them. What she didn’t expect was a journey into some of the major issues of our time: climate anxiety, racial justice, women’s rights, the impact of technology, sustainability, and, ultimately, the meaning of home. 
  With her wry voice, sharp intelligence, and exuberant honesty, Orenstein shares her year-long journey as daughter, wife, mother, writer, and maker—and teaches us all something about creativity and connection.  
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook. 
  Unraveling is a memoir that explores Peggy Orenstein's journey into the world of knitting as a way to cope with the pandemic and other personal struggles. Through her exploration of the cultural history of wool dying, carding, and spinning, she provides readers with a deeper understanding of the true meaning of creativity and the importance of pursuing hobbies. This book is a perfect gift for anyone looking for inspiration and insight into the power of DIY projects.

  Dive into the mesmerizing world of quantum mechanics with "Quantum Mechanics". This accessible and comprehensive book takes you on a captivating journey through the fundamental principles that govern the behavior of particles at the tiniest scales. 
  In the opening chapters, discover the revolutionary origins of quantum mechanics, encountering concepts like wave-particle duality and the double-slit experiment that challenge our conventional understanding of reality. Explore the fascinating phenomenon of quantum superposition, where particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously, setting the stage for the mind-bending nature of the quantum world. 
  Delve into the intricacies of quantum states, wavefunctions, and the uncertainty principle, gaining insight into the mathematical tools that physicists employ to describe the quantum realm. Unravel the mysteries of quantum entanglement, a phenomenon that links particles across space in ways that defy classical intuition, and explore the implications of Bell's theorem and quantum teleportation. 
  Schrödinger's cat takes center stage as we examine the paradoxical nature of quantum measurement, discussing the collapse of the wavefunction and the concept of quantum decoherence. Throughout the book, various interpretations of quantum mechanics are explored, from the Many-Worlds Interpretation to the Copenhagen Interpretation and beyond. 
  "Quantum Mechanics" is more than a guide; it's an invitation to embrace the wonder and mystery of the quantum realm. Whether you're a curious beginner or someone seeking a deeper understanding, this book provides a solid foundation for navigating the intricacies of quantum mechanics. Prepare to be intrigued, challenged, and inspired as you embark on this adventure into the heart of the quantum universe.

  William Stanek's The Living...

  Grand Canyon looks permanent. Its story is one of relentless change.
  
  Stone formed, vanished, returned, uplifted, fractured, and eroded. The Colorado River found its way through the rising landscape. Springs created refuges. Human communities made homes, trails, farms, stories, and sacred geographies within a place outsiders would later describe as wilderness.
  
  William Stanek's The Living Grand Canyon Biography follows the canyon from ancient rock and vanished environments through Indigenous homelands, exploration, mining, railroads, tourism, preservation, dams, changing names, ecological intervention, and the difficult politics of water.
  
  This is not the story of a famous view. It is the biography of the forces, peoples, conflicts, and decisions that made the view possible-and that continue remaking the canyon today.

  The Social Genome - The New...

  A pioneering scientist presents a mind-expanding account of the sociogenomics revolution, which promises to upend everything we know about human development. 
   
   
   
  Sociogenomics brings together advances in molecular genetics and traditional social and behavioral science. The key tool is the polygenic index, which allows us to analyze DNA to measure a child's genetic potential. Today, we can estimate a child's adult height, how far they will go in school, and their weight as an adult—all from a cheek swab, finger prick, or vial of saliva. Dalton Conley and other researchers are using this new science to shed light on the ways in which genes shape our world, influencing how each person both creates and responds to the environment around them. Conley reveals a world where children's DNA influences the nurture they extract from their parents; the genes of our schoolmates affect our likelihood of smoking as much as our own DNA does; and spouses' genes influence each other's moods and behaviors. 
   
   
   
  The Social Genome presents a nuanced, powerful perspective on individual potential and social dynamics and raises critical ethical questions about how we will navigate a future where we have access to far more genetic information than ever before.
