  Soil is not a dirty word - A...

  What you feed the soil, you 
  feed yourself! 
  In his riveting new book, Soil is Not A Dirty Word, Craig Castree shares 
  urgent insights into the symbiotic relationships between plants and the 
  microscopic worlds of bacteria and fungi that sustain them. This book will 
  transform the way you see the ground beneath your feet. 
  During his three-year dive down the rabbit hole to discover the shocking 
  truths hidden in soil, Castree discovered that our understanding of soil has 
  been fundamentally flawed for over 80 years. 
  While soil might not be the typical topic of conversation, it’s time it became 
  a priority. Modern agricultural practices promised increased productivity 
  but have instead led to diminishing returns. Our topsoil—the thin layer 
  that nourishes the planet—erodes at an alarming rate, and autoimmune 
  diseases rise as the soil microbiome becomes more disconnected from 
  plant and human microbiomes. 
  Soil is Not A Dirty Word goes beyond just sounding the alarm, it offers a 
  solution after solution to the problems most of us never knew we had with 
  soil. With a regenerative approach that revitalises the soil, reduces reliance 
  on chemical inputs, and restores its nutrient density, Castree’s strategies 
  promise to revolutionise edible gardening, farming, and growing food plants. 
  This isn’t just a manual for gardeners and farmers—this is a call to action for 
  anyone concerned about our planet’s future, our health, and the legacy we 
  leave for generations to come.

  Ring the Hill

  A hill is not a mountain. You climb it for you, then you put it quietly inside you, in a cupboard marked 'Quite A Lot Of Hills' where it makes its infinitesimal mark on who you are. Ring the Hill is a book written around, and about, hills: it includes a northern hill, a hill that never ends and the smallest hill in England. Each chapter takes a type of hill - whether it's a knoll, cap, cliff, tor or even a mere bump - as a starting point for one of Tom's characteristically unpredictable and wide-ranging explorations. Tom's lyrical, candid prose roams from an intimate relationship with a particular cove on the south coast, to meditations on his great-grandmother and a lesson on what goes into the mapping of hills themselves. Because a good walk in the hills is never just about the hills: you never know where it might lead.

This key aspect often goes unnoticed today.  In this audiobook, you will learn that the reasons for becoming vegan are numerous and varied.

  Bucket to Greece - Volume 1

  V.D. Bucket

  When our hero, Victor, needs a pseudonym to avoid embarrassing his wife after deciding to pen a book about up-sticking to Greece, he dusts off his original name of V. D. Bucket, the name he was stuck with after being abandoned in a bucket as a baby. As Victor adapts to his adopted homeland, he battles an obsession with the exacting hygiene standards he demanded during his illustrious career as a public health inspector, against the rather less exacting standards of rural Greece. His attempts to master the complexities of the language lead to a number of embarrassing misunderstandings. 
   
   
   
  Crossing paths with the local undertaker, Spiros, was a stroke of good luck for Victor and Marigold, since Spiros just happened to have a house to sell in the charming Greek mountain village of Meli. Of course Spiros didn't explain the strange arrangement of an Albanian living in the stone shed at the bottom of the garden, or mention the old lady's next door filthy habit of burning plastic every morning. He also failed to mention his late uncle had plunged to his death from the roof terrace, but did a wonderful job of selling them on the spectacular views.

  A Quiet Evening - The Travels of...

  Norman Lewis

  Collected here, from a period of nearly five decades, are thirty-six of Norman Lewis's best articles. In each, his writing crackles with poker-faced wit and stylistic brilliance. As a witness to his times – the good, the bad and the absurd – he was unmatched, and his instinct for important events, and moments, was infallible. His range here includes Ibizan fishermen, an interview with Castro's executioner, the genocide of the South American indigenous tribes, a paean to Seville and his meeting with a tragic Ernest Hemingway. Lewis told Ian Fleming, who had commissioned him, that the meeting was 'a shattering experience of the kind likely to sabotage ambition'. Fortunately it didn't, and the articles assembled between these covers are compulsive, hilarious, tender and beautifully written, at times deeply upsetting and always unforgettable.
