Ring of Salt: Finding home and hope on the Wild Coast of Ireland - Betsy Cornwell
Betsy Cornwell left home with her baby on his first birthday, checking into a hotel under a false name so her husband could not track them down. Over the long months of housing insecurity that followed, bouncing around cheap motel rooms and friend''s couches, Betsy''s determination to offer her son something she''d never had - a safe, stable home - took on the force of obsession.In The Old Knitting Factory, Cornwell invites readers to join her on the path that led out of her violent marriage and into renovating a run-down house on a lake in rural Ireland, transforming a largely abandoned and abused vacation house into a family home and childcare-inclusive arts retreat space for other single parents. Along the way, she creates community and finds family wherever she goes - even when she has to build it herself, brick by brick.Mixing Maid''s gripping portrait of single motherhood''s precarity with The Salt Path''s wild, romantic sense of place - in this case among rural Ireland''s cool mists, nubbly Aran yarns, and whispering turf fires - The Old Knitting Factory invites readers to experience the magic of found family and new beginnings.

The Ring of the Nibelung - Richard Wagner
A superb new translation of one of the greatest nineteenth century poems: the libretto to Wagner's Ring cycleThe scale and grandeur of Wagner's The Ring of the Nibelung has no precedent and no successor. It preoccupied Wagner for much of his adult life and revolutionized the nature of opera, the orchestra, the demands on singers and on the audience itself. The four operas-The Rhinegold, The Valkyrie, Siegfried and Twilight of the Gods - are complete worlds, conjuring up extraordinary mythological landscapes through sound as much as staging.Wagner wrote the entire libretto before embarking on the music. Discarding the grand choruses and bravura duets central to most operas, he used the largest musical forces in the context often of only a handful of singers on stage. The words were essential: he was telling a story and making an argument in a way that required absolute attention to what was said. The libretto for The Ring lies at the heart of nineteenth century culture. It is in itself a work of power and grandeur and it had an incalculable effect on European and specifically German culture. John Deathridge's superb new translation, with notes and a fascinating introduction, is essential for anyone who ... Unknown localization key: "more"

David Perlmutter, MD, bestselling author of Grain Brain and The Grain Brain Whole Life PlanA leading cardiovascular research scientist upends the low-salt myth, proving that salt may be one solution to - rather than a cause of - the chronic disease crisis.We've all heard the recommendation: no more than a teaspoon of salt a day for a healthy heart.

For most, salt protects against a host of aliments, including internal starvation, insulin resistance, diabetes and heart disease - not to mention, it tastes great.

Fruits of Labour - Betty Doyle
Betty Doyle’s Fruits of Labour charts coming to terms with childlessness, from initial symptoms and diagnosis, grief and uncertainty, to emerging with acceptance, hope, and survival. Doyle explores the impact of childlessness, and the threat of infertility on the speaker’s sense of self, femininity, and family. While initially the body is examined from a place of shame and regret, it also becomes a site of resilience and abandon.There is joy here, too – in the unexpected freedom that childlessness brings. Doyle rejects enforced gender roles, embracing independence and freedom of choice. While the body in these poems can be a site of suffering, or even viewed by some as deficient, it is also defiant, and ultimately, these poems emerge triumphant, surviving and thriving on the speaker’s own terms.Being childfree is complicated. Poems like ‘Are all the babies in your poems real?’ outline external societal pressures which drive the speaker to wish for a child. Though the impossibility of that wish is initially met with shame, shock, and regret, Fruits of Labour finds relief, hope, and finally acceptance.

Salt - Christopher A. Whatley, Joanna Hambly
Salt is a vital commodity. For many centuries it sustained life for Scots as seasoning for a diet dominated by grains (mainly oats), and for preservation of fish and cheese.Sea-salt manufacturing is one of Scotland’s oldest industries, dating to the eleventh century if not earlier. Smoke- and steam-emitting panhouses were once a common sight along the country’s coastline and are reflected in many of Scotland’s placenames. The industry was a high-status activity, with the monarch initially owning salt pans. Salt manufacture was later organised by Scotland’s abbeys and then by landowners who had access to the sea and a nearby supply of coal. As salt was an important source of tax revenue for the government, it was often a cause of conflict (and military action) between Scotland and England. The future of the industry – and the price of salt for consumers – was a major issue during negotiations around the Union of 1707.This book celebrates both the history and the rebirth of the salt industry in Scotland. Although salt manufacturing declined in the nineteenth century and was wound up in the 1950s, in the second decade of the twenty-first century the trade was revived. Scotland’s salt is now a ...

Ring of Stone Circles - Stan L. Abbott
To paraphrase L.P. Hartley, “The past is a different country.†Stan L Abbott sets out to explore the visible clues to our mysterious past from the Neolithic and Bronze Ages: stone circles. Cumbria boasts more of these monuments than any other English county. Here, our tallest mountains are ringed by almost fifty circles and henges, most of them sited in the foothills or on outlying plateaux.Were these the earliest such monuments in Britain, placing Cumbria at the heart of Neolithic society? And what traces of that society remain today in the roads we travel, the food we eat, the words we speak, our work and play? By observing and comparing many sites in Cumbria and beyond, and researching many sources, a greater understanding emerges.Were some circles built for ritualistic purposes, or perhaps astronomical? Were they burial sites? Or were they just places for people to meet?Illustrated with linocut illustrations by artist Denise Burden, Ring of Stone Circles follows the search for the hidden stories these monuments guard – and might reveal if we get to know them.

Learning to season properly is what separates a good cook from a great one. It isn’t a simple case of how much is added but also when these crystals are used: at the beginning of meal prep to help sunny tomatoes sing; coating your meat just before cooking to help the salty char form and the meat stay juicy; or right at the very end, scattered over a chocolate torte to make it all the more chocolate-y.Brine, cure and pickle your way through this book, learning to use salt in new ways to make everyday food more vibrant and flavourful. From a sophisticated fennel and almond lasagne to toasted milk cookies, delicate salt marsh lamb to juicy black pepper brined corn, this book brings new techniques and a breath of fresh inspiration to ...

Salt - Coyote Jacobs
Painted with intense colour and bold inkwork, SALT is a graphic novel about two snail/slug men who liberate a monkey from a vivisection lab, saving her life and facing the consequences of those actions. The monkey character is based upon a real experiment in which the head of one monkey was switched onto the body of another. Her character is intended to sit with the results of such an experiment in a compassionate and intimate manner. SALT is also about how pursuing one''s goals and enacting change is often mediated by the strength of your relationships. Although this book is at its core connected to animal rights, it focuses a lot on interpersonal relationships and conflicts and the type of people who are willing to commit their lives to a cause. Unstable relationships between our main characters and tensions building create a sort of desperation in a relationship that makes people act outside of their own values, which drives much of SALT.

Ring of Fire - Alexandra Churchill, Nicolai Eberholst
''Churchill and Eberholst put the world back into First World War.'' Dan SnowA remarkable, eyewitness-based view of the outbreak of the First World War.As war broke out in the summer of 1914, not a nation on Earth understood the magnitude of what they were about to face. To win it, whole populations must be mobilised, and neutrality was impossible to practice.Our understanding of this complex conflict has been coloured by a blinkered approach to popular history. It has ignored the fact that Denmark actively participated in laying minefields as soon as war began; that the first British shots were fired in West Africa, by a black man; and the first Australian casualties occurred not at Gallipoli, but in the Pacific.The authors have scoured the globe in search of an enormous quantity of fresh material. This is not history as told by ''great men'', this is a people''s view of the war, translated from more than a dozen languages to fashion a new inclusive, touching and surprising tale of events that we thought we knew...
