Teaming with Microbes von Lowenfels Jeff

Winner of the Garden Writers Association Gold Award for Best Book Writing

Smart gardeners know that soil is anything but an inert substance. Healthy soil is teeming with life—not just earthworms and insects, but a staggering multitude of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms. When we use chemical fertilizers, we injure the microbial life that sustains healthy plants, and thus become increasingly dependent on an arsenal of artificial substances, many of them toxic to humans as well as other forms of life. But there is an alternative to this vicious circle: to garden in a way that strengthens, rather than destroys, the soil food web—the complex world of soil-dwelling organisms whose interactions create a nurturing environment for plants. By eschewing jargon and overly technical language, the authors make the benefits of cultivating the soil food web available to a wide audience, from devotees of organic gardening techniques to weekend gardeners who simply want to grow healthy, vigorous plants without resorting to chemicals.

This revised edition updates the original text and includes two completely new chapters—on mycorrhizae (beneficial associations fungi form with green-leaved plants) and archaea (singled-celled organisms once thought to be allied to bacteria).

How to Shoot Video That Doesn't Suck von Stockman Steve

Newly updated and revised,How to Shoot Video That Doesn’t Suck is a quick and easy guide that will make your video better instantly—whether you read it cover to cover or just skim a few chapters. It’s about the language of video and how to think like a director, regardless of equipment (amateurs think about the camera, pros think about communication). It’s about the rules developed over a century of movie-making—which work just as well when shooting a two-year-old’s birthday party on your phone. Written by Steve Stockman, the director of the award-winning feature Two Weeks, plus TV shows, music videos, and hundreds of commercials, How to Shoot Video That Doesn’t Suck explains in 74 short, pithy, insightful chapters how to tell a story and entertain your audience. In other words, how to shoot video people willwant to watch.

Here’s how to think in shots—how to move-point-shoot-stop-repeat, instead of planting yourself in one spot and pressing “Record” for five minutes. Why never to shoot until you see the whites of your subject’s eyes. Why to “zoom” with your feet and not the lens. How to create intrigue on camera. The book covers the basics of video production: framing, lighting, sound (use an external mic), editing, special effects (turn them off!), and gives advice on shooting a variety of specific situations: sporting events, parties and family gatherings, graduations and performances. Plus, how to make instructional and promotional videos, how to make a music video, how to capture stunts, and much more. At the end of every chapter is a suggestion of how to immediately put what you’ve learned into practice, so the next time you’re shooting you’ll have begun to master the skill. Steve’s website (stevestockman.com) provides video examples to illustrate different production ideas, techniques, and situations, and his latest thoughts on all things video.

"Stockman has packed a veritable film school between the pages of this highly informative, yet entertaining book. Very highly recommended."

-Videomaker Magazine

"Great tips from a video expert."

-PC World

"Whip-smart and funny... teaches readers how to think about film and reveals the why and when behind techniques; there is next to zero tech or tool talk."

-Library Journal

"His simple-to-follow guide takes readers step-by-step through the film- and video-making process"

The Montessori Baby von Uzodike, Junnifa

Now it's baby's turn! Filled with the values, advice, and aesthetic that have made The Montessori Toddler a parenting bestseller, with over 200,000 copies in print, The Montessori Baby is here to help new parents find the support and peace they crave. Cowritten by Montessori Toddler author Simone Davies and fellow Montessori educator Junnifa Uzodike, The Montessori Baby draws on the child-led principles of the Montessori educational method to foster a first year defined by love, respect, understanding, and a surprising sense of calm. Maria Montessori observed that all children have what she called "an absorbent mind,? ready to drink it all in, and that the role of parents is to mindfully assist in their learning and development. With babies, that means less is more?a lot less stuff, for sure, but also less speed; slow way down, and avoid rushing through feeding, diaper changes, and the like. It means establishing a "yes? space?where baby can safely explore absolutely everything, whether with hands or mouth. It means setting up activities to help promote baby's movement and language development, but then to step back?the parent's role is to prepare the environment, not be the entertainer. There are tips on how to set clear and kind boundaries, how to create a secure sense of attachment, how best to speak to baby, and even what kind of toys to use (mobiles especially)?all through the Montessori lens. And like its predecessor, The Montessori Baby is that rare parenting book that's a pleasure to look at?beautiful color illustrations and a bright airy design reinforce the book's direct and jargon-free approach. It may also inspire parents to look at their own homes in a different way and use the Montessori aesthetic to create an environment of uncluttered calm. The whole family will benefit.

FODMAP Friendly von McDermott, Georgia

It's tough when the foods you love don't love you back. If you're dealing with digestive issues, cutting out high-FODMAP foods can bring relief-but it's hard to say goodbye to wheat, dairy, and many fruits and veggies. And if you're vegetarian or vegan and going low-FODMAP? It can be even harder to fill your plate!

Georgia McDermott comes to the rescue in FODMAP Friendly, with 95 vegetarian, vegan-friendly, and gluten-free recipes for the digestively challenged. Her delicious, low- to no-FODMAP fare covers all the bases:

Lighter meals and breakfasts, like Grain-Free Olive Oil Granola and Roasted Pepper and Halloumi Shakshuka
Hearty dinners, from Tempeh Chili to Pepper, Pesto, and Goat Cheese Galette
Delectable desserts-Pavlova with Roasted Lemony Strawberries, anyone?
Festive food and drinks for a crowd, including Salted Honey and Sage Baked Camembert and Passion Fruit Caipirinhas

FODMAP sensitivity varies from person to person, so Georgia includes a wealth of suggestions for exploring what does and doesn't work for you. Onion and garlic don't bother you? Add them! The thought of tomatoes turns you off? Don't eat them! Living with IBS, Crohn's disease, colitis, SIBO-you name it-shouldn't mean needlessly missing out on the flavors you crave. This is low-FODMAP eating-made friendly for everyone.
