One of an estimated 38 million consumers who knit or crochet, Rachael Herron measures her life "in lengths of yarn." As she writes in the introduction to her new memoir-in-essays, "People measure their lives by many things. Some measure their days by how many races they've run. Some mark turning points by the songs they've loved. T.S. Eliot's Prufrock 'measured out his life in coffee spoons,' and others, when attaching meaning to incidents, look at when the children came, or when their parents got sick, or which house they were living in at the time. My life can be measured in lengths of yarn: what kind I held, at what time. Always, as far back as I can remember, I've had a knitting project somewhere close by, and no matter what emotion I'm feeling, I put some of it into the stitches I make."Herron's new book, a collection of 20 heartfelt essays, chronicles the touchstones of a life spent knitting -- from her very first sweater (knitted at age 11 out of electric-blue garage-sale yarn and which came out two sizes too big with a neck hole the size of an armhole), to the yellow afghan that caused a breakup (and, ultimately, a breakthrough), to the replica of her mother's favorite sweater that she finished just as her mother passed away. Readers who've ever faced a personal crisis or celebrated a rite of passage with a ball of yarn, a bag of nails, or a stack of photos will enjoy Herron's gifted storytelling and her passion for all things creative. http://www.yarnagogo.com
Mark Bauerlein is the bestselling author of The Dumbest Generation, one of the key works on the perils of the new social media. Bauerlein is a professor of English at Emory University and has worked as a director of Research and Analysis at the National Endowment for the Arts. A frequent lecturer, he has been called one of the Independent Women's Forum's "favorite intellectuals," and has been praised by columnist George Will as "dazzling." Twitter, Facebook, e-publishing, blogs, distance-learning and other social media raise some of the most divisive cultural questions of our time. Some see the technological breakthroughs we live with as hopeful and democratic new steps in education, information gathering, and human progress. But others are deeply concerned by the eroding of civility online, declining reading habits, withering attention spans, and the treacherous effects of 24/7 peer pressure on our young. With The Dumbest Generation, Mark Bauerlein emerged as the foremost voice against the development of an overwhelming digital social culture. But The Digital Divide doesn't take sides. Framing the discussion so that leading voices from across the spectrum, supporters and detractors alike, have the opportunity to weigh in on the profound issues raised by the new media-from questions of reading skills and attention span, to cyber-bullying and the digital playground- Bauerlein's new book takes the debate to a higher ground.
This 2nd EDITION includes a recent intense dialogue/march led by the author in Jericho, the West Bank and a piquant San Francisco ghetto experience that were not included in the 1st Edition. LOVE AND TERROR IN THE MIDDLE EAST, dramatically captures the author’s efforts to promote understanding, communication and cooperation in the region between Jews, Muslims, Christians and non-believers. It details Romano’s arduous journeys between Israel and the West Bank, discussing issues and organizing activities among religious and national groups. Traveling between these areas has been risky: he has been harassed and arrested by the Palestinian police, harassed by Israeli soldiers and attacked by West Bank settlers. Last month, a peace activist friend of Frank Romano’s was murdered in the West Bank. Several months before that, another of his interfaith peace activist friends was murdered in Jerusalem. In addition, Frank’s efforts in the region have cost him a marriage, another long romantic relationship and close contact with his children. “I wrote this book to share with a wide audience my belief in the possibility of peace through grassroots activities in Israel and Palestine,” Romano explains. “A lot of the Middle East conflict is due to misunderstanding and lack of communication between religious groups, so I want to encourage people to begin organizing in their own communities to help break down those barriers.”

In 2007, politicians and activists took the “Food Stamp Challenge:” live on a budget of one dollar per meal for one week. When Linda Watson, an activist and organic cook following the challenge, noticed that many participants were buying cheap, unhealthy snacks instead of their nutritious counterparts, she wondered how hard it would be to maintain a healthy diet on a food stamp budget. Turning thoughts into action, Watson and her husband began their own small budget challenge: eat healthy on three dollars a day. When they realized they were both sleeping better, feeling more alert, losing weight, and even making less trash, a spontaneous experiment became a way of life. In Wildly Affordable Organic: Eat Fabulous Food, Get Healthy, and Save the Planet—All on $5 a Day or Less, Watson reveals the secrets she discovered for eating healthy, organic food on a budget. She shares essential tips for making a shopping plan, finding the best ingredients, and building meals around seasonal foods. Sample menus and recipes are broken down into the green plan (most organic ingredients) and the thrifty plan (most savings) to cater to a variety of needs, and Watson provides straightforward tables to make comparing food options and making menus a snap.
As a former Ironman triathlete, Brendan Brazier has always paid attention to his diet. However, it wasn’t until recently that he began to think beyond the nutritional value of food and ask himself the question that’s been on a lot of people’s minds lately: where does our food come from and how does what we eat affect our environment? In Thrive Foods: 200 Plant-Based Recipes for Peak Health, Brazier makes the connection between personal and environmental health with his introduction of the “Nutrient-to-Resource Ratio,” which reveals what foods use the least amount of each natural resource to produce, yet yield the greatest amount of nutrition in return. Foods with high nutrient-to-resource ratios not only use land efficiently, require little of our dwindling fresh water supply, and cause a minimal amount of pollution, but they can also help us manage our stress, sleep better, have a higher energy level, and even lower our risk for disease.
Every four minutes an American woman enters menopause, and with an ever-increasing life expectancy rate, that woman can spend as much as one third of her life going through “the change.” However, despite the inevitability and importance of menopause in a woman’s life, the discussion of this challenging transitional period is often riddled with myths, uncertainties, and trepidation. In Eat to Defeat Menopause: The Essential Nutrition Guide for a Healthy Midlife—with 130 Recipes, Karen Giblin and Mache Seibel, MD, two of the nation’s top menopause experts, break down the most important, need-to-know facts about menopause, offer tips and advice for combating its symptoms, and provide healthy and enticing recipes (like Maine Wild Blueberry Granola French Toast, Caribbean-Style Black Bean and Rice Salad, Lobster and Duck Chow Mein, and Chocolate Mousse Pie) guaranteed to satisfy every craving (or mood swing).
With FDA regulations for “gluten-free” food labeling still under discussion, those going gluten-free are more aware than ever of the dangers facing them on the supermarket shelf. Products with a “gluten-free” sticker may not contain any gluten, but there’s nothing keeping them from being made on gluten-contaminated machines. This product uncertainty is leading many consumers to spend more time cooking from scratch at home (where they know the products and the machinery are safe) rather than use the quick and easy (and potentially dangerous) grocery shelf meal.In Gluten-Free in Five Minutes: 100 Rapid Recipes for Breads, Rolls, Cakes, Muffins, and More, author Roben Ryberg doesn’t force consumers to choose between safety and efficiency—offering effortless and delicious gluten-free recipes that can be prepared in mere minutes. Combining easy-to-find ingredients with time-saving tips and tricks, Ryberg proves that living gluten-free doesn’t have to mean compromising on convenience or spending hours in the kitchen.
