Take a voyage into space to explore the wonders of the galaxy and beyond.

With award-winning science writer Brian Clegg as your deep space guide, step on board the starship Endurance and marvel at the fascinating sights of deepest, darkest space.

Although our vessel is fictional, the phenomena you will visit, from the vast nebulae that are birthplaces of stars to stellar explosions in vast supernovas, creating the elements necessary for life - or from the planets of other solar systems to the unbelievably supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way - all reflect the best picture current science has to offer.

Accompanying Interstellar Tours is an online gallery with over fifty images and videos in full colour, each directly accessible from the page using QR codes.

It may never be possible to undertake a voyage through the stars for real. But with Interstellar Tours, you can enjoy the ultimate cruise across the Milky Way.

    It sounds unlikely, but this book is every possible aspect of the walker/writer genre in one beautifully seamless contemplation. Personal, anecdotal, psychogeographic, psychological, physiological, and spiritual understandings and stories weave around the profoundly practical, deeply kind, and grounded guidance of somebody with 7000s of kilometres and 7000s of insights and deep generosity of spirit.Joao shares his own unfolding inner and outer path with disarming humility and honesty and describes the journeys of his many participants with a lightness of touch that belies the profound transformations that people from all walks of life (pun intended) have discovered on the many Caminos described here.As well as this there is detailed advice on particular routes, where to stay, when to walk and how to do it which trump any walking guide I have read. It really is an instruction manual for a more intentional and fulfilling life and will leave you itching to go outside and begin.For those on a long walk or traveling light, this is the only book you will need.The best way to experience these pages will require walking shoes and the will to walk. Preferably along a path that leads to Nature. Because nothing beats reality, and the reality of Walking Mentorship is waiting for you out of doors.All the stories that appear in this book are real, and Joao tries to tell them as clearly and in detail as his mind remembers.He changed the name of the majority of the characters and avoided making any specific references related to real life.Finally, a note about the book itself: I am not sure this is a book. At times, it seemed like a diary; other moments, like a travel guide, and some days, I even looked at it as a manual.Use it in the best possible way. What you are about to open is just a door.After reading these pages, you might feel the urge to step outside and go for a long stroll. Don´t worry, that is normal.Keep walking

    Eating is one of the quickest ways to comfort ourselves, but many comfort foods are low in nutrients and leave us wanting more. 
    Certain foods leave you wanting more, such as doughnuts, because they are high in calories, but contain hardly any nutrients. Instead, choose foods that are rich sources of nutrients without being high in fat or calories. 
    Fruits, vegetables, beans, legumes, herbs, spices, whole grains, nuts, seeds, lean meat, fish, eggs, tofu and pulses, olive oil, olives and avocadosTo support good health and immunity, you should aim to eat at least 30 different plant foods a week along with repeated use of your favourite guided hypnosis session.

    In the complex architecture of city-making, governance represents the invisible framework that shapes urban development, mediates competing interests, and determines whose voices influence the evolution of metropolitan spaces. Beyond physical infrastructure and economic dynamics, the political dimensions of urban environments—the policies, power structures, and institutional arrangements that guide development decisions—profoundly shape the trajectory of cities and the lived experiences of their inhabitants. This comprehensive exploration delves into the intricate domains of Urban Policy and Governance, The Politics of Urban Development, and Urban Renewal, examining how formal and informal power systems determine which neighborhoods flourish, which communities face displacement, and how the benefits and burdens of urban change are distributed. 
    The narrative of urban governance is fundamentally a story of contested visions, where multiple stakeholders—from elected officials and corporate interests to community organizations and marginalized populations—engage in complex negotiations over the future of shared urban spaces. By examining the historical evolution, contemporary challenges, and emerging paradigms of urban governance, this book illuminates how policy frameworks, political processes, and renewal strategies reflect deeper power dynamics and ideological perspectives about what cities should be and whom they should serve. Readers will journey through diverse urban contexts—from the boardrooms where development decisions are made to the grassroots movements that challenge established power structures—discovering how governance approaches have evolved from top-down interventions to more collaborative, participatory models that recognize the plurality of urban stakeholders.

    Think you can't garden because your soil is poor, your water is scarce, and your space is limited? Think again. Drawn from the popular columns of Grocott's Mail, this handbook is packed with proven, hard-won wisdom from South Africa's Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal.  
    This collection of bite-sized columns and stories is a practical guide to creating life and community from barren ground. Learn how to compost, drought-proof your beds, build parks from dumps, and harness ferments for richer soil, the secrets of xerophytes, the art of fermentation for plant health, and how to build a thriving garden from tyres, pallets, and recycled "graywater." 
    More than just a gardening manual, it's a testament to the power of a seed and a shovel to change not only a landscape but a community. This collection chronicles the ingenious, low-cost, and utterly organic methods locals use to coax life from the earth. 
    Filled with heartfelt stories like Cecil's transformation of a Currie Street dumping ground and practical advice for every season, this book is an essential companion for any gardener fighting their own odds. From the "Garden of the Week" at the Hayton Complex to the determined schoolchildren of the Feeding The Self project, these stories prove that a garden is more than food—it's a classroom, a community centre, and a beacon of hope. Packed with actionable advice on everything from graywater systems and winter warming to natural pest control, The Resilient Garden is a powerful call to pick up a trowel and start growing, no matter your circumstances. 
    Whether you're nurturing seedlings on a windowsill or mobilizing a community to turn a dump into a park, this book shows you how to grow against the odds. Your toughest growing conditions are about to become your greatest advantage.
