  Remember when fruits and vegetables were bursting with flavor? 
  The demand on farmers to produce the fastest, highest-yielding crop comes with a price: it’s less nutritious and environmentally detrimental. Decades of using fertilizers and pesticides have stripped the soil of many microbes required to grow nutritious food, resulting in the decline of essential vitamins and minerals in our diet. 
  Using data from the US Department of Agriculture, Donald Davis from the University of Texas published a paper in The Journal of American College of Nutrition pointing to a significant decline in protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, and Vitamins B2 & C in 43 different fruits and vegetables. 
  Is there a way to grow healthier plants at home without artificial chemicals? Well, nature has been doing it for over 450 million years!It’s called soil. 
  A healthy soil is a living ecosystem that provides all the nutrients for your garden to thrive. You can have an eco-friendly, sustainable way to produce your own nutritious food or just have thriving houseplants easily, without the conventional work of gardening. 
  In this book, you will discover:The regenerative ecosystem and food web of soilHow to create your own living soil in an easy step by step guideHow to maintain a thriving microbial ecosystem in your gardenHow to aerate your soil without tillingHow to plan your crop rotation around your soil healthNatural ways to combat pests, diseases, and nutrient deficiencies 
  With Living Soil, you will be able to grow beautiful plants indoors and outdoors, even if you're a beginner or haven’t had much success in the past. So if you want to create this thriving ecosystem for yourself, listen to Living Soil!

  Tales from the Big Trails - A...

  'I am already planning the next adventure. The wanderlust that infected me has no cure.'
  It all started in Fishguard in the mid-1970s when, aged fifteen, Martyn Howe and a friend set off on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path armed with big rucksacks, borrowed boots, a Primus stove and a pint of paraffin, and a thirst for adventure. After repeating the route almost thirty years later, Martyn was inspired to walk every National Trail in England and Wales, plus the four Long-Distance Routes (now among the Great Trails) in Scotland. His 3,000-mile journey included treks along the South West Coast Path, the Pennine Way, the Cotswold Way and the West Highland Way. He finally achieved his ambition in 2016 when he arrived in Cromer in Norfolk, only to set a new goal of walking the England and Wales Coast Paths and the Scottish National Trail.
  In Tales from the Big Trails, Martyn vividly describes the diverse landscapes, wildlife, culture and heritage he encounters around the British Isles, and the physical and mental health benefits he derives from walking. He also celebrates the people who enrich his travels, including fellow long-distance hikers, tourists discovering Britain's charm, farmers working the land, and the friendly and eccentric owners of hostels, campsites and B&Bs.
  And when he is asked 'Why do you do it?', the answer is as simple as placing one foot in front of the other: 'It makes me happy.'

  A walk through history with man’s best friend, with stops in Alaska, the Middle East, and beyond—includes over 250 photos of canines at work. 
   
  Handle various dogs engaged in their traditional tasks, Mike Loades takes us on his adventures in the Jordanian desert, where he shares the saddle of his camel with a Saluki, and in the green hills of Wales, where he works cattle with a Corgi. He mushes Huskies in Alaska, drives carriages with Dalmatians, and flies falcons with Spaniels. Each encounter not only highlights the bond between humans and dogs, it also frames that connection in its historical context.  
   
  Different types of dogs appear the way they do because, at some stage in their development, they were bred selectively for a specialist job. The author takes key types on a walk through history. Along the way he explores the methods and practices of their original occupations. He delves into when, where, and why they were first bred as the types we recognize today. This fascinating and engaging book includes over 250 stunning color photographs of dogs in action, resulting in an illuminating journey through many cultures and time periods—and a personal, heartfelt tribute to the enduring partnership between humans and dogs.
