Download or read book The Lost Flock written by Jane Cooper and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2023-09-14 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lost Flock is the story of the remarkable and rare little horned sheep, known as Orkney Boreray, and the wool-obsessed woman who moved to one of Scotland’s wildest islands to save them. It was Jane Cooper’s passion for knitting that led her to discover the world of rare-breed sheep and their wool. Through this, Jane uncovered the ‘Orkney Borerary’ – a unique group within the UK’s rarest breed of sheep, the Boreray, and one of the few surviving examples of primitive sheep in northern Europe. As her knowledge of this rarest of heritage breeds grew, she took the bold step to uproot her quiet suburban life in Newcastle and relocate to Orkney, embarking on a new adventure and life as farmer and shepherd. Jane was astonished to find that she was the sole custodian of this lost flock in the world, and so she began investigating their mysterious and ancient history, tracking down the origins of the Boreray breed and its significance to Scotland’s natural heritage. From Viking times to Highland crofts and nefarious research experiments in Edinburgh, this is a so-far untold real-life detective story. It is also the story of one woman’s relentless determination to ensure a future for her beloved sheep, and in doing so revealing their deep connection to the Scottish landscape. An unforgettable story of a heritage breed and the importance of its existence.

Download or read book Counting Sheep written by Axel Lindén and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-11-20 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Norwegian Wood meets The Tao of Pooh in this philosophical, witty, and heartwarming collection of daily observations from a Swedish academic-turned-sheep farmer who finds peace and meaning outside the hustle and bustle of modern, urban life. One of the fun things about keeping sheep is that now and then it feels like something other than a job or a duty. Perhaps the feeling can best be summed up by the idea that it’s not I who keep the sheep, but the sheep who keep me. When Axel Lindén leaves his literary life in the city for the farm he unexpectedly inherits—along with the ever-escaping flock of sheep that comes with it—he has a fairly naïve notion of what farm life will be: pure drudgery. But as time passes and Axel slowly settles into the rhythms of the farm and shepherding, his naiveté fades away and is gradually replaced with a new appreciation of the spiritual and emotional value of manual labor, caring for other living things, and staying connected to the earth. Capturing his observations and thoughts in short diary entries, Counting Sheep is a meditative and irresistibly delightful book that delves into the small wonders of our world and celebrates pastoral life, demonstrating that it’s often the little things in life that mean the most.

Download or read book Run written by Lisa Brandenburg and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lani is not interested in dating; she's focused on her career. But when her "married with child" sister reminds her that she isn't getting any younger, she realizes that it's not a job that's standing in her way, it's her skepticism and vulnerability. She takes the bait and what starts as just a voice on an answering machine becomes a budding relationship complete with all the bells and whistles that adorn most girls' dreams. Slowly, Lani finds out that bells tarnish and whistles din. Lani begins questioning her budding romance yet ignores Richard's selfish and sometimes gross behaviors because she isn't getting any younger. Her life gets complicated when the hot mail room guy, Matt, shows her attention (for which she completely feels unworthy). Run is a coming of age story about a young woman who is strong yet longs to find someone to sweep her off her feet. Is she desperate enough to forego her own dreams to live out an expectation of her life, or will she have the courage to choose the path less taken? You're invited to follow Lani's roller coaster journey as you enjoy a front row view into Lani's excitement for a long, overdue first date and all the anxiety that comes from prepping for the big night. Eventually, you'll wish you could hold her hand as she questions everything she thought was right in the relationship, cheer her on as she asserts her independence and cringe when Richard shows up to her office unannounced. What will she decide? What would you?

Download or read book The Museum of Useless Efforts written by Cristina Peri Rossi and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Museum of Useless Efforts Cristina Peri Rossi renders familiar, everyday situations uncanny through lyrical reinterpretations; at the same time, she somehow makes the uncanny appear quite ordinary. Crafting peculiar?and sometimes claustrophobically small?worlds, Peri Rossi explores the universal themes of desire, violence, and truth and the simultaneous and contradictory human capacities to repress and resist, speak and silence, desire and ignore. In these tales an insomniac is tormented by a stubborn lamb that refuses to jump over the fence; the momentary hesitation of a man on a crowded subway staircase who forgets whether he was going up or down unleashes pandemonium; and a patient receives a frantic call from his psychoanalyst, distraught that his wife has taken a new lover.
