Summary

"The emotional effect of woodworking is that it gives kids that sense of accomplishment. Parents see a happy kid beaming with excitement of possibilities."
 
Three years back, I asked one child psychologist: What is the best way to make a connection with my 8 and 13-year-olds as they are growing up?
 
I was worried about excessive exposure to T.V, Mobile Phones and wanted to do some activity together to be much of an enabler and guide.
 
He said," Why don't you try Woodworking in your backyard? That would serve all your purposes. "
 
That was one of the best pieces of advice I got off late.
 
We hit it off and started with whittling, woodworking with just a wooden stick and a pocket knife.
 
After that, we moved on to woodworking with multiple tools. The kids only used more straightforward tools, and I handled the complicated part.
 
Safety was of utmost priority, and I always led with example.
 
This book entails our journey with 31 Whittling and 20 Woodworking projects.

    Anyone fortunate enough to have actually held a medieval manuscript in his hands must have felt excited at this immediate contact with the past. Both famous and unknown authors wrote philosophical, natural scientific and theological treatises, romances about knights and courtly love; humanists and theologists translated and commented upon the classical literature of antiquity; travellers wrote descriptions of their incredible journeys; and ascetic chroniclers recorded and kept alive the historic events of their times for future generations.

    The Personals reveals how classified ads are not just a few commercial lines of text in print or online – they can be a treasure trove of fascinating human stories; stories of love, loss, loneliness, redemption and hope. 
Some people do Sudoku, others watch Netflix. Brian O’Connell loves the classified ads. 
In an era of spin doctors and press releases, celebrities and social influencers, the classified ads can open a door into the lives of ordinary people with extraordinary stories. 
What draws Brian to the classified ads are the intriguing human stories he finds there, the unexpected twists and turns, the personalities, the curious objects and the range of human experience waiting to be discovered. 
The Personals is a diverse collection of compelling stories about the people and the lives behind the small ads. 
In The Personals, Brian O'Connell, a prize-winning author, delves into the world of classified ads, unearthing stories that are as diverse as they are compelling. From tales of hobbies turned into businesses, to the repurposing of antiques, this book is a treasure trove of human experiences and a testament to the power of storytelling.

    “An excellent account” of Britain’s tradition of parceling out land for the public to grow food on, and the colorful history behind it (The Independent). 
 
This lively book tells the story of the private garden plots known as allotments—from their origin in the seventeenth century, when new enclosures that deprived the peasantry of access to common lands were fiercely protested, to the victory gardens of the world wars, and into the present day, when they serve less as a means of survival than as a respite from the modern world. While delving into the effects of the Napoleonic Wars, the Corn Laws, and the utopian dissenters known as the Diggers, the author reveals the multiple roles of allotments—and champions their history in the hope of protecting them for the future.
