A lot of people whom Ive cooked for often use to tell me that my food is so good why havent I written a book of all the Delicious Recipes I came up with. So that got me to thinking why not, Ill give it a shot. I said to myself why not come up with a cookbook so plain and simple to read and understand that a 5th Grader can become an expert in the kitchen. I even went as far to as to list the Ingredients first with the exact amount to use follow by the Directions that are so precise, it takes the room of error out of making any mistakes. Not only that, I said why not put different types of recipes everyone can enjoy in this book rather than just have a plain one like you see in stores and on stands. In addition I included different techniques of Kitchen Ideas one can use in the kitchen to help them along the way which I use even today that really works. To take it a step further, Ive added as a bonus things Worth Remembering around the house that we all use which can be an inexpensive way of cleaning your home with the fraction of cost from supplies you already have. I can tell you this, if I had a book like this around years ago loaded with all the goodies inside at my disposal, there would have been even more people at my windows and doors begging to see, smell and taste what was coming from my kitchen.

This is nature writer Jan Wiltshire's second book, following the highly successful About Scout Scar. Cumbrian Contrasts celebrates the wonder of one of the most beautiful, diverse and precious parts of the British Isles. From the source of rivers high in the fells, through moorland solitudes to the urban fringe, and down to estuaries and the coast, the author paints a vivid portrait of a landscape and its wildlife. Words and images come together as a story which reveals the magic of the natural world. There are fossils, butterfl ies and flora at Smardale. Eider duck breed on Walney Island with its shingle flora, and natterjack toads mate on the Duddon Estuary. Skylark soar in song flight over Whitbarrow and there are dark green fritillary butterflies and frog orchid on Scout Scar. There's always something new to discover. This is writing that really makes you feel as if you are there, experiencing the beautiful, strange and rare in varied habitats. If you love the countryside and enjoy books that inspire, inform and entertain, then Cumbrian Contrasts will delight.

LONGLISTED FOR THE 2021 RATHBONES FOLIO PRIZE. In Strangers, Rebecca Tamas explores where the human and nonhuman meet, and why this delicate connection just might be the most important relationship of our times. From 'On Watermelon' to 'On Grief', Tamas's essays are exhilarating to read in their radical and original exploration of the links between the environmental, the political, the folkloric and the historical. From thinking stones, to fairgrounds, from colliding planets to transformative cockroaches, Tamas's lyrical perspective takes the reader on a journey between body, land and spirit-exploring a new ecological vision for our fractured, fragile world.

For award-winning science writer Margie Pitlak, exploring the unique nature of the Maine coast opens a door to deeper ties and insights. Watching a striped monarch caterpillar transform into a chartreuse pendant dabbed with gold, she realizes the limits of life and what passes between generations. She explores the violent geologic collisions that thrust up and fractured Maine’s mountains; digs into the latest scientific thinking on how animals navigate; reflects on the dizzy dance of plankton under the microscope and the dogfish heart that continued to beat while held in the palm of her hand. She looks at moose, fox, fishers, and the tides as well, and shares a chapter about cleaning up the Maine coast by kayak. These facets of the natural world speak a hidden language that is translated by scientific knowledge and reflection. Nature begins to speak about the nature of life.
