Sinossi

"Keeping One Cow" is a compelling anthology that gathers essays and narratives from various authors, each reflecting on the intricate relationship between humans and their livestock. The contributors explore themes of sustainability, agricultural practices, and the profound emotional connections that form between farmers and their cows. Written in a rich, descriptive literary style, the book blends personal anecdotes with broader socio-economic observations within the context of contemporary farming challenges. The diverse voices presented create a textured dialogue that highlights both the joys and tribulations of rural life, making the work resonate deeply with readers interested in environmental literature and agrarian studies. The authors, ranging from seasoned farmers to urban dwellers with roots in agriculture, bring a wealth of personal experience to the pages of this anthology. Their collective narrative is shaped by a shared concern for the future of farming, the impact of climate change, and the necessity of returning to more sustainable practices. This diverse background provides a multifaceted perspective on the essential role that livestock, particularly cows, play not just in agriculture but in cultural identity and personal values. This anthology is highly recommended for readers who seek to deepen their understanding of rural life, sustainability, and the intersections between humans and animals. "Keeping One Cow" offers an enlightening exploration that not only elevates the discourse around livestock management but also evokes empathy and appreciation for the stewardship of the land.

    ‘I’ve a body out the back for you...’  
 
Imagine having that sentence said to you. And then imagine it actually being pertinent. Welcome to Evie King’s world. 
 
What happens if you die without family or money? The answer to this very three-in-the-morning question is that Evie, or someone like her, will step in and arrange your funeral. 
 
Evie is a local council worker charged with carrying out Section 46 funerals under the Public Health Act. Or to put it in less cold, legislative language; funerals for those with nobody around, willing or able to bury or cremate them. 
 
Ashes to Admin lifts the coffin lid on some moving and unexpected personal life stories. Sometimes tragic, as with the case of an unidentified woman found on a beach buried without even a name, but often uplifting and occasionally hilarious. 
 
Ultimately, Evie discovers that her job is more about life than it is about death, funerals being for the living and death being merely a trigger to rediscover a life and celebrate it against the odds. 
 
This audiobook also includes the special bonus content: ‘A Blustery Conversation with Evie King & Stewart Lee.’

    FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE ACCLAIMED THE GRAN TOUR AND THE MARMALADE DIARIES


An irreverent homage to the '95 travel classic.

'It would be wrong to view this book as just a highly accomplished homage to a personal hero. Aitken's politics, as much as his humour, are firmly in the spotlight, and Dear Bill Bryson achieves more than its title (possibly even its author) intended.' Manchester Review


In 2013, travel writer Ben Aitken decided to follow in the footsteps of his hero - literally - and started a journey around the UK, tracing the trip taken by Bill Bryson in his classic tribute to the British Isles, Notes from a Small Island.


Staying at the same hotels, ordering the same food, and even spending the same amount of time in the bath, Aitken's homage - updated and with a new preface for 2022 - is filled with wit, insight and humour.

    Unraveling - What I Learned...

    “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.
