Synopsis

Green Greenwich reveals the many green spaces in the Royal Borough of Greenwich in south east London. Candy Blackham has spent three years exploring the woods, flowery meadows, parks and nature reserves with her camera. She shares with us her enjoyment of the many sites which are found around almost every corner, and all within forty minutes of central London. Each site has a brief historical description and photographs which tempt us to go walking every day of the year as the trees change from bare branches to green leaves, and then the brilliant jewel-like colours of autumn. As you walk in the parks discover herons, foxes, many varieties of butterflies and other insects, and of course the ever-present ring-necked parakeets. Walk along the Thames, enjoy views from hilltops, explore the canals of Thamesmead, and take time to enjoy the calm of the natural surroundings. Candy Blackham has given us another unique book which invites us to go walking beyond our usual haunts and reminds us how fortunate we are to have these green spaces and how much they depend on our protection and vigilance so that they are not lost in London's growth.

    In order to develop a life that is self-sufficient and happy, free from the influence of traditional systems, the book "Thriving Off-Grid" is an invaluable resource that should not be overlooked. The purpose of this book is to provide a step-by-step guide to achieving independence in terms of energy, water, food production, shelter, and essential skills. The program is intended for people who have no prior experience as well as those who have some. Each chapter places an emphasis on practical alternatives, such as growing your own food and constructing a home that is both energy-efficient and sturdy. Examples of these options are provided throughout the book. The utilization of renewable energy sources and the maintenance of a sustainable water supply are two more themes that are discussed. 
    A sustainable style of life is one that reduces reliance on external sources and develops a close connection with parts of the natural world. Living off the grid requires recognizing both the benefits and the problems of such a way of life. Not only does this book provide an emphasis on practical solutions, but it also places an emphasis on resiliency, adaptation, and the mindset that is required to survive while being independent. The book "Thriving Off-Grid" equips you with the resources and information you require to achieve success, regardless of whether you are motivated by the desire to be a responsible steward of the environment, to achieve financial independence, or to achieve personal empowerment.

    My goodness! How are you boys still alive? 
    Because survival is by co-ordination, good luck, respect and karma and ‘sometimes luck is with you, and sometimes not, but the important thing is to take the dare.’ David Brower 
    Where Kingsley Holgate explores Africa beneath an outrageous beard with a keg of rum by his side – 40 years his junior I decided to explore my Africa with naiveté, invincibility and the testosterone fueled charisma of boyhood. 
    Unprepared, untested, unperturbed – who said that an explorer needs to be tried and tested? 
    Taking six months from our boyhood lives to find adventure? That’s easy. Undertaking a Zambezi source-to-sea paddling expedition with no previous kayaking experience? That’s harder. And stupid. 
    Staying alive amongst crocodiles and hippos, rapids and whirlpools, sunstroke and dysentery – now that’s almost impossible ... or commendable if you can live through to the end of your own story. 
    Now throw in two marauding rhino and appendicitis and see if you would still predict survival and start packing for your own adventure. Did I worry that each day may be my last? Of course I did but in the end ‘the principal difference between an adventurer and a suicide is that the adventurer leaves himself a margin of escape (the narrower the margin the greater the adventure), a margin whose width and length may be determined by unknown factors but whose successful navigation is determined by the measure of the adventurers nerve and wits. It is always exhilarating to live by one’s nerves and toward the summit of one’s wits.’ Tom Robbins. Another Roadside Attraction

    Bring structure, clarity, and purpose to every reading.   For many who read tarot—and those new to tarot—spreads can offer a lot of power, clarity, and purpose to readings. Tarot spreads, intentional arrangements for tarot cards that include a particular meaning or prompt for each card, help us to ask focused, direct questions of our cards. Rather than focusing on premade cookie-cutter layouts, Meg Jones Wall takes you to the very foundation of tarot spreads so that you can understand how and why a spread is created and how it works. This book will walk you through reading spreads as well as writing and revising original spreads, giving you everything you need to understand, develop, tweak, and test tarot spreads of your very own.  Learn to adapt and revise card spreads to deepen your exploration.   Meg encourages you to release yourself from the expectation that you need to use a spread precisely as written in order to get the full benefit of a layout in your reading. Spreads are infinitely customizable to suit your own needs, preferences, and experience level. While the cards can offer clarity in a variety of ways, tarot spreads can help us be more direct about what we want to know, explore, question, and understand. No matter our question, concern, or situation, tarot spreads empower us to be clear about what we need from our reading.   At the core of every spread are the prompts—the meanings given to each card positioned in a layout. So that you can more effectively write and design your own spread, Meg offers over 200 prompts and suggestions for simple one-card to five-card layouts for a variety of intentions from relationships to self-awareness to community to wealth, and includes special recommended spreads for lunar cycles, the zodiac, the archetypes, the sabbats, the elements, and more.
