With her well-known candor and humor, this essayist and
New York Times contributor digs deep into her “libidinous past” to confront the
topics of sex and aging. Informed by her
diaries from her youth, this now 44-year-old examines her motivations, her
fantasies, and the choices she has made with unflinching honesty, wit, and
warmth.

In this new anthology of short essays, a group of experts
has joined forces to set out what is scientifically recognized and what is
still unknown about the potential for life on other planets. The collection, edited by physicist and Jim
Al-Khalili, assesses the science of whether life is “out there”, but also
includes chapters on UFOs and the psychology of alien abductees. This
collection is perfect for those interested in understanding ideas about our
universe and ourselves.

In this beautifully illustrated book, the authors make a
strong case for revolutionizing garden design by breaking with tradition to
create sustainable landscapes that balance beauty with environmental
concerns. Drawing on detailed graphics
and examples Rainer and West advocate creating intentionally arranged plant
communities that cover ground in interlocking layers. This radical departure from traditional
horticultural methods is a way to reconnect with nature that reduces chemical
use, cool temperatures, and provide habitat. A must read for horticulturists
and common gardeners alike.
