  Clifton Bain now completes his trilogy with this look at the Peatlands of Britain and Ireland. A source of fuel for many generations, they are now a haven for wildlife and plants as well as a storehouse of greenhouse gasses. Their social history is one of exploitation and the value of mending and restoring is a major theme of the book. Like its predecessors, The Peatlands of Britain and Ireland will be a sumptuous volume richly illustrated with photographs and with drawings by the wildlife artist Darren Rees.

  Peru - A Historical and Economic...

  Peru, a nation of remarkable diversity, is a land where history and economy intertwine to shape its identity. Situated on the western coast of South America, it is home to towering Andean peaks, vast coastal deserts, and the lush Amazon rainforest. These geographic variations have influenced its people, cultures, and economic activities for centuries. From ancient civilizations to modern industries, Peru’s journey has been one of resilience, adaptation, and transformation. Understanding its past and present is key to appreciating the forces that have shaped the country’s economic and social landscape.  
  The history of Peru is as rich and complex as its terrain. Long before Spanish colonization, the region was home to advanced societies that flourished through agriculture, trade, and engineering. The Inca Empire, with its vast network of roads and innovative agricultural terraces, stands as one of the greatest pre-Columbian civilizations in the Americas. However, the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th century marked a turning point. Colonization led to profound economic and political changes, as the Spanish exploited Peru’s vast silver mines and established a rigid social hierarchy. This period set the foundation for many of the economic structures that persisted for centuries.  
  Peru’s economic evolution has been shaped by both internal and external forces. Following independence in the 19th century, the country faced political instability and economic challenges, struggling to define its national identity. The exploitation of natural resources remained central to the economy, from guano and rubber in the 19th century to copper and gold in the modern era. Industrialization and foreign investment played key roles in Peru’s economic development, but these also led to periods of inequality and social unrest.

  The Silver Invicta is a stream of impressions from a fishing life, in its varying moods, colored with plenty of whisky and eccentric company. Join Tom Harland on his light-hearted journeys with his fly rod; take part in his triumphs and disasters on rough, wild camping trips and share his encounters with the wildlife of Scotland’s rivers and lochs.  The ‘Silver Invicta’ was the traditional fly which was taken by Tom’s first salmon and is also a nod to the spirit of Scotland’s embattled migratory fish. Tom has fished throughout his local Scottish Borders, England, the Western Isles and New Zealand (a country he lived and worked in for two years), but his real passion is for the brown trout of the hill lochs of Assynt in the North-west Highlands.  Open this treasure trove of a book to share the pleasure the author finds through fishing respectfully in magical, wild, and seldom-visited places.
