HOUSE LESSONS

Renovating a Life

Erica Bauermeister

From the New York Times bestselling author of The School of Essential Ingredients and The Scent Keeper comes a memoir about the power of home—and the transformative act of restoring one house in particular. Erica Bauermeister renovates a trash-filled house in an eccentric Pacific Northwestern coastal town, and in the process, she takes readers on a journey to discover the ways our spaces subliminally a�ect us. A personal, accessible, and literary exploration of the psychology of architecture, as well as a loving tribute to the connec-tions we forge with the homes we care for and live in, this book is for anyone who’s ever fallen head over heels for a house. It is also a story of a marriage, of family, and of the kind of roots that settle deep into your heart.

MENDING LIFE

A Handbook for Repairing Clothes and Hearts

Nina and Sonya Montenegro

A beautifully illustrated, practical tool kit for repairing the clothes and belongings we love, as well as an exploration of how mending can be a gently healing practice in our daily lives and a small act of rebellion in a world where many things are discarded without thought.

Mending Life encourages us to cherish our things and change our consumption habits so that with small mends here and there, we extend the life of our garments and other household items. You’ll learn basic techniques, such as patching, but will have the option to take it a step further with decorative sashiko stitching; you’ll also learn how to darn socks and mend sweaters; as well as how to repair a tear in a bedsheet or down jacket. Along the way, the authors share heartfelt stories about the powerful act of mending, which strengthens not only the object we are repairing, but ourselves as well. Vibrant, full-color illustrations are woven throughout the handbook.

“In this thoughtful and gorgeously illustrated book, Nina and Sonya Montenegro remind us what our grandmothers taught us: that

mending is a radical exercise, both in its creative play and in its role in fighting consumerism and waste. For anyone who yearns to mend

but needs helpful advice, this is the coziest book you’ll ever own.”

EVERY PENGUIN IN THE WORLD

A Quest to See Them All

Charles Bergman

If we can’t save what we love, what can we save?

This is the question at the heart of author and photographer Charles Bergman’s quest. Upon his first viewing of a penguin on South Georgia Island, Bergman and his wife, Susan, committed to seeing all eighteen current species of penguins on the planet. Their passion took them to the far edges of the globe to experience the charm and resilience of these evolutionary wonders. Every Penguin in the World is a love letter to penguins and the planet, as well as a call to action to save what we hold most dear. And, ultimately, it’s a story about nature’s power to transform the spirit.

“This is a book of joy, love, and hope for penguins and the world.”
