  Our interest in the simple but satisfying art of whittling has never been higher. Our Danish-inspired book on whittling (snitte in Danish) has a range of wonderful simple whittling projects for the home.

  All the projects are amazingly simple, and with the visual step-by-step technique section at the front of the book, even a beginner could take on these projects.
  The art of whittling has never been more accessible and these beautiful but simple projects capture the spirit of the Scandinavian love of craft and nature.

  Following his hilarious introduction to Paris in French Like Moi, Midwesterner Scott Dominic Carpenter returns to the scene of the crime with more tales of intrigue. 
  This time, though, the story starts with sorrow as Carpenter's wife struggles with dementia. Humor may be the best medicine, but even the antics of a vandal in their building can’t cement the tiles of her memory for long. Before he expects it, the author finds himself alone in a capital that is also blighted by the pandemic. 
  It’s against this backdrop that the city comes roaring back to life. From bizarre encounters on the Metro to comical clashes with authority figures, and even a quixotic battle against a flock of migrant parrots, Paris Lost and Found unveils sides of the great city that are as quirky as they are authentic. With his unique blend of wit, insight, and wistfulness, Carpenter charts a path through his new labyrinth of solitude—only to emerge on the other side, squinting into the bright light of hope and new beginnings.

  The Wilderness Hunter

  The Wilderness Hunter is Theodore Roosevelt’s firsthand account of America’s vanishing frontier—written by a man who lived it, studied it, and fought to preserve it. 
  Blending natural history, personal narrative, and philosophical reflection, Roosevelt chronicles his hunting expeditions across the plains, forests, and mountains of the American West. He writes not as a conqueror of nature, but as an observer and participant—examining wildlife behavior, the discipline of ethical hunting, and the character forged by time spent in untamed country. 
  This work captures a pivotal moment in American history, when the frontier still existed but was rapidly disappearing. Roosevelt’s prose is confident, measured, and deeply informed, revealing both the rugged physical demands of wilderness travel and the intellectual curiosity of a statesman-naturalist. 
  Narrated by Brett Carter with steady authority and respect for the text, The Wilderness Hunter remains a foundational work in American outdoor literature—part memoir, part natural record, and part cultural document of a nation in transition. 
  This audiobook is Certified Human Voice™, verifying that the narration was performed entirely by a human narrator, with informed consent, transparent production practices, and no use of AI-generated or synthetic voice technologies.
