Summary

In "Beautiful Wales," Edward Thomas beautifully weaves an evocative narrative that captures the breathtaking landscapes, rich culture, and vibrant history of Wales. Through a combination of vivid imagery, lyrical prose, and reflective observation, the book presents a multifaceted exploration of the Welsh countryside, articulating both the physical beauty and the emotional resonance it holds for its inhabitants. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century romanticism, Thomas's style bears the influence of nature poets, blending personal reflection with a profound appreciation for the natural world. Edward Thomas, a key figure in the English literary scene and a member of the Georgian poets, drew inspiration from his own deep connection to nature and the complexities of rural life. His experiences as a wanderer and writer were shaped by the tumultuous backdrop of pre-World War I England and the intricate interplay of personal and national identity, which prompted him to capture the essence of his surroundings with both sincerity and depth. His profound appreciation for the Welsh landscape is further accentuated by his own explorations into the deeper meanings of life, belonging, and memory. "Beautiful Wales" is highly recommended for readers seeking an intimate exploration of Wales that transcends mere travelogue. Thomas's insightful reflections invite readers to engage with the landscape in a deeply personal way, encouraging a mindfulness of both nature and self. Scholars, poetry enthusiasts, and those passionate about Welsh culture will find Thomas's work resonates with a timeless beauty, making this book a must-read for anyone interested in the interplay of place and identity.

    For any sailor, in a yacht or motorboat, the passage from one place to another is relatively easy, particularly with modern navigation equipment. What can be more of a challenge (and a potential source of anxiety for skipper and crew) is the start and end of a passage – how to leave and arrive safely, particularly if it's a cramped marina or crowded anchorage. In Illustrated Seamanship, Ivar Dedekam takes you through the techniques required to achieve a safe departure and arrival. Starting with the fundamentals of ropework he then moves on to manoeuvring, berthing, making fast and then leaving. All types of berthing are covered from coming alongside, stern to, bow to, between finger pontoons and using piles and buoys. There is advice about dealing with different wind and current directions as well as using springs. Ivar then turns to anchoring and offers guidance on setting and weighing anchor in many different circumstances: under sail and under power, using one or two anchors and coping with changes in wind and tide while anchored. You probably won't experience all the scenarios that Ivar so carefully describes, but you will certainly come across quite a few. Knowing what to do when a new situation comes up could be invaluable, increasing your confidence and leading to greater enjoyment and use of your boat. With over 500 diagrams, this slim volume is a perfect reminder of frequently used techniques and could be your get-out-of-jail card when a new circumstance arises. This new edition has an improved layout and the eBook's functionality has been improved significantly.

    Have you ever wondered why the leaves of the Swiss cheese plant have holes? How aloe vera came to be harnessed as a medicinal powerhouse? Or why – despite your best efforts – you can’t keep your Venus flytrap alive? 
    You are not alone: houseplant expert Jane Perrone has asked herself those very questions, and in Legends of the Leaf she digs deep beneath the surface to reveal the answers. By exploring how they grow in the wild, and the ways they are understood and used by the people who live among them, we can learn almost everything we need to know about our cherished houseplants. 
    Along the way, she unearths their hidden histories and the journeys they’ve taken to become prized possessions in our homes: from the Kentia palms which stood either side of Queen Victoria’s coffin as she lay in state; to the dark history of the leopard lily, once exploited for its toxic properties; to English ivy, which provided fishermen with a source of bait. 
    Each houseplant history in this beautifully illustrated collection is accompanied by a detailed care guide and hard-won practical advice, but it is only by understanding their roots that we can truly unlock the secrets to helping plants thrive.
