Standing tall on the sunburned plains of Africa and Australia, baobabs may be one of the oldest life forms on the planet. Many of the specimens still standing today have been around for over 2000 years. Tremendous in size and bizarre in appearance, they have provided food, medicine, and places of refuge and worship for countless peoples. This is a wonderfully interesting book for all those who love trees and nature.

Stair building combines precision carpentry with tricky math, so even experienced builders can find it challenging. But as this extensively illustrated book demonstrates, any builder who can measure the distance between two floors can plan and build a stunning set of stairs. By clearly laying out the geometry, planning, and construction involved, author Andy Engel takes the reader from a simple structure of framing lumber to a set of stairs fit for a king. From building and installing railings to using off-the-shelf stair parts, Building Stairs lays out the process clearly and completely. All the reader needs to is a router, saw, drill, and level. This elevating book fills in all the rest -- step by step by step.
