"...beautifully photographed, chock full of helpful information, and includes instructions not only for dye processes but also beautiful and utilitarian sewing projects, like aprons, bags and placemats, that utilize your newly dyed fabric. " --The Maine Organic Farmer and Gardener

A complete illustrated guide to natural dyeing, including simple stich techniques, projects, and foraging, from London-based Forest + Found studio co-founder Abigail Booth

Natural dyes are colors and pigments that are derived from plants and minerals. They teach us the value of color and how to work sparingly and be mindful of our consumption of water and energy, and fabrics colored with natural dyes have a beauty and subtlety all their own. Nature's bounty like onion and avocado skins, chamomile and birch bark, and nettles and acorns can produce lovely, ethereal colors and effects.

The Wild Dyer demystifies the eco-conscious art and craft of natural dyeing, comprehensively covering topics such as:

• Foraging and growing dying materials
• Repurposing kitchen trimmings
• Making and using long-lasting dyes
• Creating stitched projects
• Workspace setup and equipment
• Fabric choices and care

Beautiful accompanying photographs and easy-to-follow instructions also illustrate how to make eight exquisite household items, from a drawstring bag to a gardener's smock to a reversible patchwork blanket, and more. The Wild Dyer is a complete guide for both beginners and experienced artists seeking to expand their knowledge of this increasingly popular craft.

This fully revised edition features an innovative application of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to self-esteem, and utilizes updated cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you create positive change and thrive.

Circumstances and status can affect self-esteem--many factors can contribute to the way we see ourselves--but the one contributing factor that all people who struggle with low self-esteem have in common is our thoughts. Of course we all have a better chance of feeling good about ourselves when things are going well, but it's really our interpretation of our circumstances that can cause trouble, regardless of what they are.

This revised and updated fourth edition of the best-selling Self-Esteem uses proven-effective methods of CBT and relevant components of ACT to help you raise low self-esteem by working on the way you interpret your life. You'll learn how to differentiate between healthy and unhealthy self-esteem, how to uncover and analyze negative self-statements, and how to create new, more objective and positive self-statements to support your self-esteem rather than undermine it. And with cutting-edge material on defusion and values, you'll learn to let go of judgmental, self-attacking thoughts and act in accordance with what matters to you most, enhancing your sense of self-worth.

What am I going to do for the rest of my life?

This question is familiar for young people at a turning point--whether it's facing the end of high school, college, graduate school, or just a dead-end job. Maybe they have the degree they want but don't know where to start their job search. Perhaps they're still choosing a major and, given the range--from "Biochemistry" to "Adventure Education"--are lost in the options. Maybe they're facing a mountain of debt but don't want to get locked into a job they hate.

While other books might advise writing resumes or preparing for interviews, they only go so far. Young people want more than just another job--they want a life, and a meaningful one at that.
