Summary: "An accessible guide to improving your health and boosting your mood, featuring more than 75 recipes for delicious tonics, teas, snacks, and smoothies"-- "So many of us suffer from exhaustion, anxiety, and irritability, or struggle with a challenged immune system and would benefit from being able to take our well-being into our own hands. While the interest in nature's powerful superfoods is becoming mainstream, the missing link for many is the ability to put the information into practice in our day-to-day lives. Holistic nutritionist Meredith Youngson, founder of Lake & Oak Tea Co., improved her mental and physical health through the teas and drinks she concocted for herself. Now she offers readers the opportunity to take that same journey, empowering the wellness-curious to make elixirs at home that optimize health and aid in everything from boosting energy, immunity, and mental well-being to clearing skin, relieving stress, and improving sleep quality." --Amazon.com

Summary: "A curmudgeonly but charming old woman, her estranged grandson, and a colony of penguins proves it's never too late to be the person you want to be in this rich, heartwarming story from the acclaimed author of Ellie and the Harpmaker.

Shortly after arriving, she convinces the reluctant team to rescue an orphaned baby penguin. He becomes part of life at the base, and Veronica's closed heart starts to open. Her grandson, Patrick, follows Veronica to Antarctica to make one last attempt to get to know his grandmother. Together, Veronica, Patrick, and even the scientists learn what family, love, and connection are all about"--

Summary: Palmedo traces these instincts back to a very early time in human history-- demonstrating, for example, the level of abstract thinking required to create the stone tools and cave paintings of the Paleolithic-- and then forward, to the builders of the Gothic cathedrals, to Leonardo da Vinci and Isaac Newton, to Einstein and Picasso. Illustrated with more than 125 creations of the genus Homo-- from a flint hand ax chipped half a million years ago to the abstractions of Hilma af Klint and the James Webb Space Telescope-- Palmedo's text leaves us with a new appreciation of the instinct for beauty shared by artists and scientists alike.

Summary: "Under the Big Black Sun explores the nascent Los Angeles punk rock movement and its evolution to hardcore punk as it's never been told before. John Doe of the legendary band X and co-author Tom DeSavia have woven together an enthralling story of the legendary West Coast scene from 1977-1982, by enlisting the voices of people who were there. The book shares chapter-length tales from the authors along with personal essays from famous (and infamous) players in the scene. Through interstitial commentary, John Doe "narrates" this journey through the land of film noir sunshine, Hollywood back alleys, and suburban sprawl. Illustrated with 50 rare photos, this is the story of the art that was born under the big black sun" --

Summary: "From seat No. 9, Hercule Poirot was ideally placed to observe his fellow air passengers. Over to his right sat a pretty young woman, clearly infatuated with the man opposite; ahead, in seat No. 13, sat a countess with a poorly concealed cocaine habit; across the gangway in seat No. 8, a detective writer was being troubled by an aggressive wasp. What Poirot did not yet realize was that behind him, in seat No. 2, sat the slumped, lifeless body of a woman."--The publisher.

Summary: Veuve Clicquot champagne epitomizes glamour, style, and luxury. But who was this young widow--the Veuve Clicquot--whose champagne sparkled at the courts of France, Britain, and Russia, and how did she rise to celebrity and fortune? Cultural historian Mazzeo brings to life the woman behind the iconic yellow label: Barbe-Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin. A young witness to the French Revolution and a new widow during the chaotic years of the Napoleonic Wars, Barbe-Nicole defied convention by assuming--after her husband's death--the reins of the fledgling wine business they had nurtured, and became one of the world's first great businesswomen and one of the richest women of her time. This book provides a glimpse into the life of a daring and determined entrepreneur, a bold risk taker, and an audacious and intelligent woman who took control of her own destiny when fate left her on the brink of financial ruin.--From publisher description.
