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.

    The Olympic Class ships were intended to be the greatest liners to ever sail the oceans, but the Britannic sank only four years after her sister ship the Titanic. While the wreck of the Titanic is two miles below the surface and rapidly deteriorating, the Britannic is much more accessible (only 400 ft down) and remains largely intact. One of the largest passenger ships ever to have sunk, her wreck presents a unique opportunity to explore the interior of the Olympic Class liners, and examine areas which on the Titanic simply no longer exist. 
     
     
     
    Simon Mills bought the wreck of the Britannic in 1996 and has spent more time exploring it than anyone else. Inside the Britannic is the sum of decades of work covering every inch of the shipwreck as he searches for answers to century-old questions, and discovers new mysteries to solve. Simon takes a forensic approach but this book is more than just the autopsy report of a ship. 
     
     
     
    The Britannic may have been lost over a century ago, but Simon Mills's fascinating new book gives everyone unparalleled access to rediscover her.

    Understanding soil is the foundation of expert gardening. Long before a seed is sown or a plant is placed, a gardener must come to know the very material in which all life begins—soil. It is far more than just “dirt.” Soil is a complex, living ecosystem composed of minerals, organic matter, air, water, and billions of microscopic organisms that work together to support plant health and productivity. 
    At its most basic, soil consists of three primary particle types: sand, silt, and clay. The proportion of these particles defines the soil’s texture, which in turn affects drainage, aeration, and nutrient availability. Loam—often considered the ideal garden soil—is a balanced mix of all three, offering optimal conditions for plant growth. However, very few gardeners are gifted with perfect loam, and understanding your soil's unique texture is the first step in learning how to work with it or improve it. 
    Beyond texture, soil structure plays a critical role. Good structure means that soil particles bind together into aggregates, which allow roots to penetrate easily, promote proper water retention and drainage, and create a hospitable environment for beneficial organisms. Soil compaction, on the other hand, restricts root growth and limits access to air and nutrients. Regular use of mulch, compost, and cover crops can significantly enhance structure over time. 
    Another key aspect of advanced soil science is understanding pH. Most garden plants prefer a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0), but some, like blueberries or azaleas, require more acidic conditions. Testing your soil’s pH—and knowing how to adjust it using lime or sulfur—can make the difference between thriving and struggling plants.
