Shop class for everyone : practical life skills in 83 projects
by Sharon Bowers
"Discover the sublime pleasure and endless rewards of being self-sufficient. In two smartly designed and straightforward encyclopedias of DIY, Home Ec for Everyone and Shop Class for Everyone (previously published together as The Useful Book), here's everything you need to know to fix it, cook it, make it, clean it, build it, and sew it yourself. Each title features dozens of essential skills, practical how-tos, and projects, each explained and illustrated with step-by-step instructions, plus relevant charts, sidebars, lists, and handy toolboxes. Home Ec covers what used to be called the domestic arts, including everything from chopping an onion to hemming a pair of pants to folding a fitted sheet to writing a great thank-you note. Shop Class empowers each of us to become a skilled handyperson, a confident master of one's domain who can hang a picture, paint a room, build a birdhouse, install a lamp, or fix a flat tire. We may live in the information age, but there's no app that will unclog a drain-only life skills"

How to grow a baby : a science-based guide to nurturing new life, from pregnancy to childbirth and beyond
by Amy Hammer
"People have probably told you (usually over and over) that having a baby can be hard. Pregnancy can be uncomfortable, birth almost unbearably painful, breastfeeding challenging and nights long and sleepless. And while some of these were sometimes true and there were many dirty diapers and hours of cluster feeding early on, I found that knowing some of the why behind the sensations in my body and my baby's behavior helped me foster tolerance, respect and patience. Coming back to the foundations of this book-movement, nourishing food, supportive communities and taking care of our shared environment-helped guide and ground my choices as a new parent. Understanding my invaluable, incredible, monumental role in the development of my son's inner ecology builtwithin me a sense of wonder and confidence in my new job as his mother. My desire to learn what science and research had to teach me about growing my baby acted as a bridge to accepting the multitudes of unknown complexities the art of growing a person requires"
