Synopsis The Lost Arts of Hearth and Home by : Ken Albala
The Lost Arts of Hearth and Home is not about extreme, off-the-grid living. It’s for city and suburban dwellers with day jobs: people who love to cook, love fresh natural ingredients, and old techniques for preservation; people who like doing things themselves with a needle and thread, garden hoe, or manual saw. Ken Albala and Rosanna Nafziger Henderson spread the spirit of antiquated self-sufficiency throughout the household. They offer projects that are decidedly unplugged and a little daring, including: * Home building projects like rooftop food dehydrators and wood-burning ovens * Homemaking essentials, from sewing and quilting to rug braiding and soap making * The wonders of grain: making croissants by hand, sprouting grains, and baking bread * Adventures with meat: pickled pig’s feet, homemade liverwurst, and celery-cured salami Intended for industrious cooks and crafters who aren’t afraid to roll up their sleeves, The Lost Arts of Hearth and Home will teach you the history and how-to on projects for every facet of your home, all without the electric toys that take away from the experience of making things by hand.

Synopsis Fairy Tale Architecture by : Andrew Bernheimer
Fairy Tale Architecture is a ground-breaking book, the first study to bring architects in conversation with fairy tales in breathtaking designs. Little Red Riding Hood, Baba Yaga, Rapunzel, Jack and the Beanstalk, The Snow Queen: these and more than fifteen other stories designed by Bernheimer Architecture, Snøhetta, Rural Studio, LEVENBETTS, and LTL Architects and many other international vanguards have created stunning works for this groundbreaking collection of architectural fairy tales. Story by story, Andrew Bernheimer and Kate Bernheimer--a brother and sister team as in an old fairy tale--have built the ultimate home for lovers of fiction and design. Snow girls and spinning houses. Paper capes and engineered hair braids. Resin bee hives and infinite libraries. Here are futuristic structures made from traditional stories, inspired by everything from Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen and The Little Match Girl to the Brothers Grimm's Rapunzel and The Juniper Tree to fairy tales by Jorge Luis Borges and Joy Williams and from China, Japan, Russia, Nigeria, and Mexico. A desire for story and shelter counts as among our most ancient instincts, and this dual desire continues to inspire our most imaginative architects and authors today. Fairy Tale Architecture invites the reader into a space of wonder, into a new form that will endure ever after.

Synopsis Chicken Feet by : Brian Kenneth Swain
carry me away, beyond the cusp of the hemisphere, all the way back to the start of time ------------- The start of time and the start of poetry are very tightly entwined. Whether you subscribe to a big bang or the touch of a creator, either event yields images at once breathtaking and diffi cult to describe, in other words poems. Still, we try our best. From the most renowned poet to the youngest schoolchild, we are all searching for meaning. And in those few fl eeting moments when we feel like perhaps weve unearthed some small explanatory fragment, our instincts are the sameto take up a pen and share what weve discovered with those we know and love. This collection is my attempt to share the few small truths Ive stumbled upon during my journey from here to wherever Im headed

Synopsis John Henry's Wonderful Marvelous Magical Marshmallows by : Tye Eure
Penelope Sweetwater Prissily, a beehive-wearing, tantrum-throwing brat, is on a mission to become the ‘Meanest Girl in The World.’ Also known as Petroleum due to her excessive use of hair gel, Penelope, along with her panicky, moth ball-scented mother, Hattie Prissily, is determined to achieve fame and fortune by crafting an illusion of success. However, their plans are disrupted when a mischievous, street-performing, broom-selling ghost moves into the neighborhood, captivating audiences with unbelievable magical tricks using a mysterious satchel of marshmallows. The ghost’s presence threatens to expose Penelope and Hattie as ordinary and unremarkable, a fate they dread even more than a shortage of hair gel. Determined to uncover the secrets of the ghost’s magical powers, Penelope and her friends, the Cinders, embark on a daring mission to steal the ghost’s bag of marshmallows and follow him into an abandoned train station. What ensues is a hilarious and thrilling adventure, as the forces of good and evil engage in a climactic battle over the grandeur of dreams and the enchanting power of marshmallows.

Synopsis The Farm in the Green Mountains by : Alice Herdan-Zuckmayer
The charming, return-to-the-land memoir of a refugee family who flees Nazi Germany and finds their true home in the backwoods of rural Vermont Alice and Carl Zuckmayer lived at the center of Weimar-era Berlin. She was a former actor turned medical student, he was a playwright, and their circle of friends included Stefan Zweig, Alma Mahler, and Bertolt Brecht. But then the Nazis took over, and Carl’s most recent success—a play satirizing German militarism—impressed them in all the wrong ways. The couple and their two daughters were forced to flee, first to Austria, then to Switzerland, and finally to the United States. Los Angeles didn’t suit them, neither did New York, but a chance stroll in the Vermont woods led them to Backwoods Farm and the eighteenth-century farmhouse where they would spend the next five years. In Europe, the Zuckmayers were accustomed to servants; in Vermont, they found themselves building chicken coops, refereeing fights between fractious ducks, and caring for temperamental water pipes “like babies.” But in spite of the endless work and the brutal, depressing winters, Alice found that in America she had at last discovered her “native land.” This generous, surprising, and witty memoir, a best seller in postwar Germany, has all the charm of an unlikely romantic comedy.
