Book Description
In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards. Through engaging anecdotes and inspired advice, profiles of home gardeners throughout the country, and interviews with scientists and horticulturalists, Lawson applies the broader lessons of ecology to our own outdoor spaces. Detailed chapters address planting for wildlife by choosing native species; providing habitats that shelter baby animals, as well as birds, bees, and butterflies; creating safe zones in the garden; cohabiting with creatures often regarded as pests; letting nature be your garden designer; and encouraging natural processes and evolution in the garden. The Humane Gardener fills a unique niche in describing simple principles for both attracting wildlife and peacefully resolving conflicts with all the creatures that share our world.

Book Description
A collection of twelve knitting patterns for animals and birds, accompanied by the author’s sketches and studies of the natural world. Nature lover Claire Garland has studied animals and birds in the environment around her home in rural Cornwall, England—and designed this delightful collection of patterns based on the wildlife she sees there. Choose your favorite from a dozen animals and birds, whether it's a grey squirrel, barn owl, yellow-necked field mouse, wolf, fox, wild rabbit, or roe deer fawn. The patterns, accompanied by striking photography and illustrations, are cleverly designed with the same markings and colors as their real life counterparts, making them irresistible—and capturing the magic of spotting a wild animal in their natural habitat.

Book Description
This book compiles the stories, stats, and facts of the world's most amazing knits, from a handknit Ferrari on display at the British Auto Show (knitting the car took 12 miles of yarn) to the American flag knit with utility poles and cranes—and everything in between (a plate of sushi; a handknit wedding, including the flowers and the cake; a cozy for a house). This will be a Guinness Book of World Records for knitters. Each entry features color photos, an explanation of how the object was made, and other interesting details, including how much yarn was used, how long it took to make, how many people contributed stitches, the project dimensions, and more.
