Summary

To Everything a Season is a beautifully crafted personal and reflective account of many years of the changing seasons, from autumn    to autumn, in and around a village on the edge of the Cambridge Fenland. It is an uplifting reflection about change: what was, what is, what will be.   
It is about the miracle of the rich gift of life. It is also about death, loss, and the rebirth of the old into something rich and strange.   
But it is also a book suffused with a gentle humour, with a deep love and sympathy for our fellow creatures. Charles Moseley tackles what we have done to the world of which we are not owners or masters but stewards, not only for our children but for the whole web of life on which everything depends.

    Sustainable living has become one of the most widely discussed topics in modern society. From eco-friendly products and renewable energy to ethical farming and carbon offsetting, the idea of reducing environmental impact has been embraced by individuals, corporations, and governments alike. The push for sustainability is often framed as a moral responsibility—one that promises a better future for the planet and future generations. But beneath the surface of these well-intentioned efforts lies a reality that is far more complex than most people realize.  
      
    This book challenges the widely accepted belief that sustainable living is always beneficial and without trade-offs. While reducing waste, conserving energy, and making mindful consumption choices are undoubtedly valuable, many so-called “green” solutions are not as effective—or as ethical—as they seem. In some cases, the environmental costs of these initiatives may be just as damaging, if not worse, than the problems they aim to solve. The truth is that sustainability has become a multi-billion-dollar industry, driven by marketing strategies that capitalize on people’s desire to do good.  
      
    Consider the rise of organic farming. While it is often marketed as a superior alternative to conventional agriculture, it requires significantly more land to produce the same amount of food, contributing to deforestation and biodiversity loss. Similarly, electric vehicles are widely praised as the key to a cleaner future, yet their production depends on intensive mining for lithium and rare earth metals, which comes with severe environmental and human rights concerns. Even recycling, which many believe to be a simple and effective way to reduce waste, has its own limitations, as much of what is intended for recycling never actually gets repurposed.

    Thin Places - A Natural History...

    Kerri ní Dochartaigh was born in Derry, on the border of the North and South of Ireland, at the very height of the Troubles. She was brought up on a council estate on the wrong side of town—although for her family, and many others, there was no right side. One parent was Catholic, the other was Protestant. In the space of one year, they were forced out of two homes. When she was eleven, a homemade bomb was thrown through her bedroom window. Terror was in the very fabric of the city, and for families like ní Dochartaigh's, the ones who fell between the cracks of identity, it seemed there was no escape. 
     
     
     
    In Thin Places, a luminous blend of memoir, history, and nature writing, ní Dochartaigh explores how nature kept her sane and helped her heal, how violence and poverty are never more than a stone's throw from beauty and hope, and how we are, once again, allowing our borders to become hard and terror to creep back in. Ní Dochartaigh asks us to reclaim our landscape through language and study, and remember that the land we fight over is much more than lines on a map. It will always be ours, but—at the same time—it never really was.

    “A lovely balance of memoir, travelogue and olive-growing how-to . . . Some of her adventures are quite funny.” —Publishers Weekly In this memoir, the author of The Olive Farm returns to the ten-acre property for which she and her fiancé scraped together their savings to buy—just back from their wedding on a tiny Polynesian island, loaded down with luggage and a large hand-painted didgeridoo. As Carol and Michel settle in as husband and wife, they experience the glamor of southern France at dinner parties in the company of aristocrats and at the world-renowned Cannes film festival, as well as the dirt-caked, sun-baked life of farmers—especially after their gardener heads to Algiers to arrange his youngest son’s wedding. For Carol, though, what matters most is that her longtime dream of motherhood finally promises to come true—and over the course of The Olive Season, she shares the story of her hopes and fears as she anticipates another kind of growth and nurturing. Alternately entertaining and emotionally poignant, this memoir is a rich portrait of love, longing, and the constant uncertainties of the cycle of life.
