Commune with nature, toast the earth's seasons, and maybe get a little tipsy along the way! Spirits have long been at the center of seasonal celebrations. In ancient times, fine wines, spirits, and brews such as mead and mulled wine were given as offerings to the gods and goddesses to welcome the harvest. Today, we tend to drink cocktails and other boozy beverages during times of joyful celebration, such as sangria in the summer, spiced apple cider in the fall, or brandy nogs during the winter holidays. With Botanical Cocktails, learn how to make more than fifty seasonal cocktail (and mocktail) recipes using delicious, organic ingredients from your own yard or herb garden. Botanical expert Tenae Stewart breaks down the different types of plants that can be used in cocktails, where to source them, or how to grow them yourself to show you that responsibly enjoying garden-to-glass beverages can be a great way to bring more joy, flow, and relaxation into your life. Get the garden party started with Botanical Cocktails!

In The Other Child, Linda Scotson looks at the impact on a child at the arrival of a handicapped sibling. Lili, Linda Scotson's daughter, was only two when Doran was born, and she has been Doran's companion, motivator, carer—in fact, sister extraordinaire. In helping Doran, she has had to cope with other problems—with the loss of her father, ill health, and her own minor neurological difficulties. But she has done so with courage and determination. What do siblings lose, growing up with a brother or sister with Down's Syndrome, or brain injury—and what do they gain? How does the hostility and indifference of the outside world affect these normal children's lives? Becoming "carers" themselves, do they miss out on parental care from weary and overstretched parents? How do they reach an understanding, often when very young, of what their injured sibling can and cannot do? Shining through these stories is the love, the humor, and the constancy with which these children approach their very difficult family position—many of them, in adulthood, continuing to care for the handicapped companion of their childhood. By drawing attention to these children, Linda Scotson not only pays tribute to their qualities but also shows how unjust the system is towards those parents struggling to keep their brain-injured child within the family. She argues for a greater network of support systems for the healthy siblings and a greater understanding of the new home treatment programs for injured children—programs in which the whole family, as a team, can participate. This will be an invaluable book for parents of brain-injured children, and for all those professionally involved in the care of such families.

In 2000–2001, Michael Jackson sat down with his close friend and spiritual guide, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, to record what turned out to be the most intimate and revealing conversations of his life. It was Michael’s wish to bare his soul and unburden himself to a public that he knew was deeply suspicious of him. The resulting thirty hours are the basis of The Michael Jackson Tapes. There has never been, and never will be, anything like them. In these searingly honest conversations, Michael exposes his emotional pain and profound loneliness, his longing to be loved, and the emptiness of his fame. You discover why he was suspicious of women and how only children provided the innocence for which he so desperately longed. In his own words, he takes us into the jarring moments of his childhood and speaks of the measures he took to try and heal. He divulges how he came to be alienated from his strong religious anchor and describes his views on the nature of faith. Michael brings us into his tortured yet loving relationship with his siblings. He opens up about his father and his yearning for a time when they might finally reconcile. He talks about his most personal friendships and shares with us his terror of growing old. Despite his unprecedented fame and recent death, there remain unanswered questions about his life. The answers, presented here in The Michael Jackson Tapes, will both intrigue and move you. You will be surprised, riveted, and troubled as you peer into the soul of a tragic icon whose life is an American morality tale and whose flame was extinguished much too early.
