Meditations for Happiness: Rewire Your Brain for Lasting Contentment and Peace (Audiobook) 2011
Happiness is far more than a positive feeling that comes and goes. Science is proving that happiness is a skill that we can all develop. On Meditations for Happiness, Dr. Rick Hanson presents a series of guided meditations that allow you to literally rewire the neural pathways in your brain to experience deeper and more lasting contentment and peace. Dr. Hanson discusses the nature of happiness, its role in our evolution, how our brains both make us happy and create suffering, and how we can use and shape our brains over time to experience more joy and be more at ease in everyday life. He then leads us step-by-step through 14 transformative meditations and exercises.
Knitted Lace: A Collection of Favorite Designs from Interweave
"All of the patterns in this book have been in Interweave Knits or Knitscene magazine, but most of the lace knitters I know won’t care. The obsessive lace knitters I know base their magazine purchases or subscriptions on how many lace projects are in an issue of a magazine, and they’ll be happy to have them in one spot, rather than various magazines. This collection of lace patterns is mostly fine lace designs. Sweaters, shawls, socks and scarves designed by lace luminaries Evelyn Clark, Nancy Bush, Kat Coyle and Anne Hanson. A fine compilation for passionate lace knitters." - Jillian Moreno

In Ripples of Battle, the acclaimed historian Victor Davis Hanson weaves wide-ranging military and cultural history with his unparalleled gift for battle narrative as he illuminates the centrality of war in the human experience.
