Heartbroken, homeless, desperate for love and lost on a quest for meaning, a 30-something feminist artist, farmer, and activist stumbles upon an unlikely ally: herself. Written by Heather Jo Flores, the author of Food Not Lawns, How to Turn Your Yard into a Garden and Your Neighborhood into a Community, Naked Lady Soup is equal parts memoir, manifesto, and magical realism, with a healthy dose of tragic comedy and personal growth.

Did you go to high school? Did you want to go to high school? Or, God forbid, did you ever teach high school? Roofing with a Naked Lady is for you–perhaps it’s about you. During 30 years of teaching, Fred Anderson has found himself in hilarious, serious, and sometimes dangerous situations. In this collection of sometimes amazing but always true stories, Fred battles a falling barn, an army of cockroaches, an undercover superintendent, and teenagers wielding assorted powertools—and weapons. Fred Anderson has taught guitar, theater lighting design, leather work, metal fabrication, drafting, auto mechanics, wood-working, cabinet making, pattern making, and construction trades, and of course, roofing. His love of teaching is second only to his passion for writing and telling his stories.

A rollicking tour of the English country home after World War II, when swinging London collided with aristocratic values As the sun set slowly on the British Empire, its mansions fell and rose. Ancient families were reduced to demolishing the parts of their stately homes they could no longer afford, dukes and duchesses desperately clung to their ancestral seats, and a new class of homeowners bought their way into country life. A delicious romp, Noble Ambitions pulls us into these crumbling halls of power, leading us through the juiciest bits of postwar aristocratic history—from Mick Jagger dancing at deb balls to the scandals of Princess Margaret. Capturing the spirit of the age, historian Adrian Tinniswood proves that the country house is not only an iconic symbol, but a lens through which to understand the shifting fortunes of the British elite in an era of monumental social change.
