Our Little Farm

Lifestyle & Home

From Peter Wohlleben, the New York Times-bestselling author of The Hidden Life of Trees, and his wife, Miriam, comes an inspired, practical memoir of creating a sustainable homestead amongst the trees.Called "a veritable tree whisperer" by the Wall Street Journal, Peter Wohlleben is known across the world for his illuminating books about forests and how to help them thrive. Now, the German forester invites readers into his home for the first time in Our Little Farm, describing the steps he and his wife, Miriam, have taken to live sustainably and in harmony with nature.Peter and Miriam moved from the city to a remote forest lodge in the early nineties. Amidst juggling careers and raising a young family, they learned how to plant and rotate crops, harvest and preserve nature's bounty, and tend to the unique needs of their animals and environment. Along the way, they made mistakes and abandoned some projects (sheep raising was not their thing) but maintained a sense of joy in their shared goal.Brimming with insights, wisdom, and tips on everything from constructing farm buildings to choosing the perfect chicken, Our Little Farm shows that, with a little grit, humor, and self-compassion, it's possible to live according to our values and to care for the earth even as we care for ourselves, our homes, and our families.Published in partnership with the David Suzuki Institute.

Tiszta és rendezett otthonra vágysz, de fogalmad sincs, hogy állj neki a rendrakásnak?Marie Kondo, a világ legismertebb rendrakási szakértője segít úrrá lenni a felforduláson!Mindannyian azt szeretnénk, hogy az otthonunk békés, nyugodt hely legyen, ahol megpihenhetünk egy fárasztó nap után, és kellemesen tölthetjük az időt a szeretteinkkel. Ez azonban aligha lehetséges, ha rendetlenség vesz körül bennünket. Ha te is szeretnél megszabadulni a lakásodat elborító felesleges holmiktól, ez a munkafüzet pont neked készült! A Rendrakás lépésről lépésre praktikus, gazdagon illusztrált kötet, amely hasznos útmutatóul szolgál a rendrakás minden fázisában.Marie Kondo egymásra épülő, könnyen követhető fejezetekben mutatja be, hogyan alkalmazd az általa kidolgozott KonMari-módszert az otthonod minden helyiségében. Egyik legfontosabb alapelve, hogy a rendrakást önmagunk megismerésével kell kezdenünk: a munkafüzet kitöltésével napról napra közelebb kerülhetsz az álmaidhoz, feltérképezheted, mi kell ahhoz, hogy jól érezd magad, és mire válaszoltál a kérdésekre, világos képed lesz arról, mi az, ami boldoggá tesz, és mi az, amitől ideje elbúcsúznod.

Down to Earth

Lifestyle & Home

The designer and author of Habitat “shares how she imbues any space with warmth and energy” in this elevated yet accessible follow-up (MarthaStewart.com).Down to Earth picks up right where Lauren Liess’s critically acclaimed Habitat left off. While Habitat walked readers through the decorating process step-by-step, Liess’s latest title takes a step beyond the basics and invites readers to incorporate the main components of her familiar design aesthetic: nature, easy living, and approachability. With evocative photos and substantive design advice, Down to Earth focuses on creating a lifestyle that inspires creativity and functionality. Throughout the book, Liess shows readers how to incorporate six guiding principles in six unique homes: a new farmhouse, a classic American historical home, a lakeside contemporary house, a modern villa, a turn-of-the-century American Foursquare, and a cedar and glass house on a bluff. While each home has a different architectural style, fingerprints of Liess’s down-to-earth style are evident throughout. “Full of the stunning images you would expect. They will spark your creativity and inspire your own designs. However, the real beauty comes from Lauren showing readers how to create ease in their own homes.” —Ariadne Shoppe“Her style embraces lived-in, vintage-inspired interiors . . . Her philosophy is that if your home is relaxed, then you’re relaxed.” —One Kings Lane
