Whole Body Barefoot: Transitioning Well to Minimal Footwear

When Alison Bernhoft set out to homeschool her six children, her grand plans were constantly derailed by the second law of thermodynamics: Entropy. Entropy happens. It enters our houses, spreads toys and dishes around, creates chaos throughout the day, and most importantly steals our time. But Alison discovered that chaos and homeschooling are far from mutually exclusive; indeed, suitably restrained, entropy can be the best teacher of all.
 Entropy Academy reveals how you can train your home (even a messy one) to do half of your teaching, while much of the other half can be taught entropy style in the natural process of everyday life.
 Using alternative education methods, marvel at the specialization of birds feet through your kitchen window. Recognize musical eras as you drive. Watch logic and Venn diagrams become crystal clear in a box of random buttons. Use raisins to introduce your kindergartener to algebra. Let the pages of Entropy Academy show how, with a minimal outlay of time and money, you can leave much of the teaching to the home while you relax with a cup of tea.
 Anyone currently homeschooling, considering it, or simply wishing to be more involved in their child's (or grandchild's) education will find much to encourage, amuse, and inspire them in this account of the inner life of a highly unusual, unabashedly idiosyncratic family.
 Building on entropy-style foundations, the Bernhoft children's successes range from the traditionally academic Stanford Phi Beta Kappa, Ivy League and Ph.D. to the truly functional son with Down s syndrome who is one of the best-known and most popular residents of Ojai, California, the small town the author calls home.

The wolf was so close now... Approaching the place where the edge of the forest met the open meadow, I paused before stepping out from the shadows of the trees. The sun was directly overhead. In that moment I stood frozen in my tracks next to the fresh footprint of the wolf that had led me here. I was sharing this trail with the wolf and I did not want the moment to end. I wanted that wolf to be with me forever. from Chapter Seven, Pack Through the Pacific Northwest forests and along the rugged coastal shores of California, Dawn Again: Tracking the Wisdom of the Wild is a memoir of exploration and survival. Dawn Again takes readers along on Doniga's journey: the wilderness immersion school where Indigenous elders and wildlife trackers were among her teachers, hitchhiking across the pacific northwest, the moment she first connected with a deer using owl eyes and fox walking techniques, and to Alaska where she fell in love with tracking white wolves and the rigor of wilderness survival. With chapters on food, permaculture, and more, Dawn Again dives into Doniga's real-life experiences while equipping readers with practical knowledge. When Doniga tracks mountain lions with Erik, a rancher, she finds herself falling in love with more than just nature. She settles down on a cattle ranch on the California coast to start a family, and has to learn how to apply the deep, unshakeable lessons of the wild to her everyday life.

From biomechanist and bestselling author Katy Bowman comes her eagerly anticipated guide to getting kids--from babies to preteens--and their families moving more, together, outside. Our kids are moving less than any other generation in human history; indoor time and screen time have skyrocketed. As adults and kids turn more to "convenient," tech-based solutions, tasks that once required head-to-toe use of our muscles and bones can be done with a click and a swipe. Without realizing it, we've traded convenience for the movement-rich environment that our physical, mental, and environmental health depends on. Parents don't know what to do! But there's good news: While the problem feels massive, the solution is simple...and fun! Grow Wild not only breaks down the 'big ideas' behind movement as a nutrient, it serves as field guide--how to spot all the movement opportunities we're currently missing. Learn to "stack your life" for richer experiences that don't take more time: <ul> <li>Set up your home to promote more movement, naturally</li> <li>Dress for (movement) success</li> <li>Add snacktivities to your meals</li> <li>Plan dynamic celebrations</li> <li>Create a dynamic homework space</li> <li>Bring nature into your home and play</li> </ul> And much more! Bowman, a leader in the Movement movement, has written Grow Wild to show where movement used to fit into the activities of daily life and more importantly, how it can again. The perfect companion to Bowman's bestseller Move Your DNA, Grow Wild provides practical, everyday, nature-rich ideas on how to let kids move their DNA while doing things they'll love. The book features: <ul> <li>100+ full-color photographs of kids and families moving</li> <li>Success stories from parents, grandparents, teachers</li> <li>"Study sessions" that make movement research more accessible to laypersons</li> <li>Written to all that work with children--parents, teachers, relatives, health professionals, and more</li> <li>A book to be referenced again and again as kids grow up!</li> </ul> Grow Wild is necessary reading for a wide range of readers--anyone who spends time with children. Humans live in many places and there are countless movement opportunities wherever you live, you just need to know how to spot them. Children and their families can thrive by learning to move more inside, adventure more outside, and grow wild in any environment. &nbsp;
