Friedrich Hornemann's 'The Journal of Frederick Horneman's Travels' offers a captivating exploration of Africa's uncharted territories in the late 18th century, interweaving vivid descriptions with meticulous observations and reflections on local cultures. Hornemann's travel narrative is characterized by its rich, descriptive prose and a commitment to authenticity, which serves to illuminate the complexities of the landscapes and the peoples he encounters. Set against the backdrop of an era marked by colonial expansion and scientific curiosity, the journal not only documents geographical discoveries but also raises pertinent questions about the ethics of exploration and the impact of European imperialism on indigenous societies. Hornemann was a German explorer whose thirst for knowledge led him to undertake this perilous journey into the heart of Africa. Motivated by the desire to contribute to the understanding of unknown worlds, Hornemann's background in natural sciences and his previous expeditions prepared him for the challenges he faced. His narratives reflect both the excitement and the disillusionment of exploration, shedding light on the transformative experiences that shaped his worldview and writing. This essential read is highly recommended for scholars, students, and anyone interested in exploration, colonial history, or African studies. Hornemann's firsthand accounts offer unparalleled insights, allowing readers to engage with the multifaceted realities of travel during a pivotal moment in history. His journal remains a key text for understanding the intricate interplay of adventure, knowledge, and the consequences of cultural encounters.

A happy plant makes for a happy home and a happy life; find the right plant for each room.

Indoor plants have never been so important as we realise the power of their presence in making us feel calmer and more connected to nature. But dying plants around the house are negatives you could do without!
This unique guide from an indoor plant expert explains what plants you should keep in each room, and whereabouts. It contains:

• What typically makes each room different, which plants best suit which room, and how to care for them so that you and the plant are happy. 
• Working with individual microclimates within that room – for example, a plant that might work on a coffee table in the middle of a room might not work on a bookshelf next to a window.
• Invaluable information on how to arrange the plants to make stunning arrangements for your home interior. 
The first half of the book focuses on the five key rooms in any home, with ideas for the reader who wants to green up specific rooms, while the second half is a comprehensive directory of house plants.
