    If You Want To Receive A Sufficient Amount Of Safe Proteins And Essential Plant-Based Nutrients, Then Listen On. 
    You're probably eating plant-based foods, such as pea proteins or nuts, assuming that you're getting the full variety of proteins that your body needs, but you may not realize that you often miss the essential amino acid known as lysine and that you don't assimilate the right amount of proteins. 
    Normally, one of the first questions vegans are asked is how they get protein, because animal foods are considered by many to be the best source of protein— and some people think they are the only protein-containing foods. 
    You must be prepared in advance to ensure that adequate amounts of nutritious proteins, vitamins, iron and calciumB-12 are obtained, not as easily found in vegan diets as in omnivorous diets containing meat rich in these nutrients. 
    Nevertheless, with the best plant-based protein foods, you can eat well-balanced nutritional plans that maintain a healthy body and reduce the risk of certain illnesses. 
    The audiobook will give you a full understanding of nutrition, including how much you really need, and how to get more than enough of plant foods. Armed with the details, recipes and meal plans in this book, you'll be relaxed and safe as a vegan— and have answers to those questions. 
    The audiobook is also for vegetarians and meat eaters, since focusing more on the plant side of your plate is always a good thing, and you might be curious about how healthy your vegan friends can be without food. 
    This audiobook is a plant-based protein guide that gives you the best resources you need to help you eat healthy meatless high-protein foods and feel better about your plant-based lifestyle.

    A book for anyone who craves making something with their hands.
    Slöjd is Swedish for handicrafts. But it's so much more than making things with your hands. In Sweden, slöjd is a compulsory subject taught to all schoolchildren. From a young age, they work with textiles and wood not only to develop their creativity, but also to learn fine motor skills and problem solving – often leading to a lifelong love and appreciation of crafts.
    In her new book, Kerstin Neumüller introduces the concept of slöjd through 18 wood and textile projects. Here's everything from learning how to sew a cap, dye yarn with birch leaves, carve a peg rail, sew a patchwork quilt and mend your jeans.
    The projects rarely require any big purchases or unusual tools, and you will be guided with clear step-by-step instructions, pictures and illustrations. With the attitude 'if you think it's good, it's good', Kerstin leaves a lot of room for your own creativity to flourish, while she also helps you avoid the worst pitfalls.
    This book is suitable both for beginners itching to get started and for those who already know that handicrafts are the most enjoyable hobby you can have!
