- Knitted animal cozies : 35 woolly creatures to keep things safe and warm / by Goble, Fiona,author.;
"Whatever kind of animal you like best, you'll find something appealing to knit in this collection of cozies. In the first chapter, In the Kitchen, there are moose and puffin egg cozies, a charming baby owl tea cozy, and a woolly sheep wrapping herself around a cafetière to keep your coffee hot. Then, At Home, a sleepy fox surrounds a hot water bottle, while a butterfly alights on a vase cover, and there's even a baby papoose with a bear-style hat. To keep things safe In Your Bag, there are small teddy-bear bottle cozies, big-cat phone cozies, and even an octopus apple cozy to prevent your snack getting bruised. Finally, On your Desk use the panda mug cozy to keep drinks warm while you work, and a cheeky raccoon cover to protect your tablet. There are plenty more charming and original cozies to knit--in fact, there's a whole zoo of them." -- publisher's website.- Subjects: Knitting; Tea cozies.; Coffee cozies.; Animals in art.;

- Returning light : thirty years of life on Skellig Michael / by Harris, Robert L.,author.;
""On Skellig Michael, thousands of birds appear and disappear, erecting towers, coming together in wings of movement which build and unravel over the empty sea. Often, no one else is there to stand beside me on the island. The mind wanders; links with the past are easily made; ancient ways of viewing things come alive." In 1987, Robert Harris happened upon an unusual job posting in the local paper--a new warden service was being set up on the island of Skellig Michael, and the deadline was imminent. Just weeks later he was on his way to set up camp in one of Ireland's most remote locations, unaware that he would be making that same journey every May for the next 30 years. Here he transports us to the otherworldly island, a place that is teeming with natural life, including curious puffins that like to visit his hut. From the precipice he has observed a coastline that is relatively unchanged for the last thousand years--a beacon of equilibrium in an ever-changing world. But the island can be fierce too. It's inhabitable for only five months of the year, and solitude can quickly become isolation as bad weather rolls in to create a veil between Skellig Michael and the rest of the world, when the dizzying terrain can become a very real threat to life. A beautiful and evocative work of nature writing, Returning Light is an extraordinary memoir about the profound effect a place can have on us, and how a remote location can bring with it a great sense of belonging."--- Subjects: Biographies.; Personal narratives.; Harris, Robert L.; Game wardens;
