Book Description
“A groundbreaking work about race and the American landscape, and a deep meditation on nature…wise and beautiful.”—Helen Macdonald, author of H is for Hawk A Foreword Reviews Best Book of the Year and Nautilus Silver Award Winner In me, there is the red of miry clay, the brown of spring floods, the gold of ripening tobacco. All of these hues are me; I am, in the deepest sense, colored. Dating back to slavery, Edgefield County, South Carolina—a place “easy to pass by on the way somewhere else”—has been home to generations of Lanhams. In The Home Place, readers meet these extraordinary people, including Drew himself, who over the course of the 1970s falls in love with the natural world around him. As his passion takes flight, however, he begins to ask what it means to be “the rare bird, the oddity.” By turns angry, funny, elegiac, and heartbreaking, The Home Place is a meditation on nature and belonging by an ornithologist and professor of ecology, at once a deeply moving memoir and riveting exploration of the contradictions of black identity in the rural South—and in America today. “When you’re done with The Home Place, it won’t be done with you. Its wonders will linger like everything luminous.”—Star Tribune “A lyrical story about the power of the wild…synthesizes his own family history, geography, nature, and race into a compelling argument for conservation and resilience.”—National Geographic

Book Description
Following the Nazi annexation of Austria in March of 1938, Desider Furst, his wife, and his daughter suddenly found themselves hunted outlaws, holders of a German passport branded with a red "J" for Jewish. They escaped from Vienna and eventually settled in England, where they spent the war years as "enemy aliens." In 1971 they emigrated once more, this time voluntarily, to the United States. Home is Somewhere Else is a dual-voice, autobiographical narration by father and daughter, recounting the family's displacements, obstacles, and repeated reversals. The experiences documented here are typical of many Central Europeans whose lives were radically and painfully affected by the Nazis. This book's originality lies in its narrative format and its revelation of what befell the "lucky" ones merely on the margins of the Holocaust.

Book Description
This story is about a late teen that runs away from a dysfunctional home to find a better life. Taking unlikely roads and divergent trails leads him to Somewhere, a fictional but possible, town and ranching community in Western Wyoming where he finds something he never expected. If you were to turn off the main road on an obviously little used gravel road, would you expect to find what you are looking for or just trying to be sure you will be lost as Terry does. What he discovers is so unexpected that not only does his outlook change but his sense of purpose is born and brought to a conscious, satisfying life in the wilderness of Wyoming.

Tired of those organizational binges where you shuffle stuff from one room to another-and just end up with a neater mess? Then let this book show you the secrets of putting your home in order and keeping it that way! Most books tell you how to find a place for everything, then to put everything in its place.

With their unique room-by-room approach, they take you through every drawer, closet and cupboard in your home, helping you weed out what you don't like, use, need, want, or have room for, and properly store what's left. You'll learn... The three reasons people cling to things they don't like, use, need, want, or have room for, and how to overcome them, The real definition of clutter, and why it is a stress-maker and an energy-zapper, and what to do with it by using the authors' Eight Streamlining Steps, How to save energy and time (up to two months per year), and create comfortable, productivity-boosting environments, The secrets professional custodians use to clean any bathroom (in five to ten minutes), How to get more help from family members in maintaining the home, simply by creating "reasonable responsibilities", How to create more storage space and take storage areas that currently exist, from the state of "lost in space" to "found in place", How to visually expand living and working spaces and create low-to no-maintenance rooms, Specific ideas for organizing each room in your house-from master bedroom to sewing room, bathroom to baby's room, and family room to back porch-with a variety of kitchen set-up ideas. You'll discover that this system not only helps you keep your house in order, but the familiar feelings of being overbooked, overworked and overwhelmed are eliminated as you eliminate clutter and overload from your home and workplace. It's Here... Somewhere will give you an advantage over whatever your day has to offer! Book jacket.
