  First Class Fool - Lost outdoors...

  Ever had that small, sinking moment when the path fades, the sky changes its mind, and your knees start negotiating terms with the nearest bench? 
  From a distance, the outdoors looks wholesome, restorative and spiritually improving. Then you step off the pavement and meet mud with ambition, weather with management issues, hills with no HR department, livestock with tenancy rights, paths that resign without notice, knees staging industrial action, and gates apparently designed by a medieval chiropractor. 
  First Class Fool: Lost Outdoors, Found Eventually is a funny, practical audiobook for solo travellers who fancy fresh air, scenery and mild adventure without becoming the person locals later describe as “well-meaning, but underprepared”. 
  With sharp British humour and genuinely useful outdoor advice, Steve Barker escorts you through the glorious nonsense of leaving civilisation behind on purpose. Learn how to choose routes that do not immediately declare war, decode suspicious words like “easy”, “gentle” and “rewarding”, use maps and apps without worshipping the tiny blue dot like a digital deity, and respect the weather before it becomes your line manager. 
  You’ll discover how to buy kit without dressing like a mountain rescue mannequin on annual leave, protect your feet before blisters form a trade union, manage forests, fields, coastal paths, hills, wild camping, huts, canoes, wildlife, livestock, and the Australian Outback without wandering off like a distracted goat. 
  You’ll also learn the quiet genius of turning back before the day becomes a podcast episode, insurance claim or family anecdote told with sighing. 
  This is not a macho survival manual full of men shouting at cliffs and calling discomfort “character”.

  Your Shopping Superpower provides an insightful guide and strategies for shoppers to align the contents in their carts with their personal values. 
    
  Are there harmful toxins in your food and body care? Who makes the products you purchase and under what conditions? What impact does the production of these items have on the environment? If 70% of the U.S. economy is driven by consumer spending, then every purchase we make has a physical and social impact on the world. Unfortunately, our shopping choices can unintentionally contribute to climate change and social injustice. Many people wish they could do more to combat these unjust and unsustainable outcomes. So what is the connection between our purchases and this impact? Your Shopping Superpower explores this important question and offers a comprehensive guide that navigates toward positive and sustainable shopping practices by providing pragmatic tips, tools and revealing how our habits can help reduce climate change, support companies with equitable workplace conditions, and foster diverse, local businesses. 
    
  Broken into categories including People, Planet, Community, and Health, Diane Osgood expands on key issues regarding climate degradation, labor exploitation, products containing carcinogens and toxins, and the importance of supporting local, women-owned, and minority-owned businesses while covering an array of products that include food, fashion, gifts, household items, and personal care. Addressing shoppers’ doubts about whether consumer choices truly have an impact and their concerns about costs and accessibility, Osgood shows how making these easy changes fosters happiness. With helpful diagrams and firsthand stories on climate and social injustice, Your Shopping Superpower informs and guides shoppers on how to: 
   Implement one change per weekIdentify trustworthy certifications, rating systems, and appsDetect greenwashing and other misleading marketingDetermine which purchases to switch for maximum impactHandle and approach choices that aren’t easy or affordable 
    
  By changing what we buy, we can initiate the change in our economy's environmental footprint and social impact. To enact change, we must start simple; it’s about progress, not perfection. 
    
  “This book doesn’t preach. … She persuaded me to start shopping more sustainably step by step to increase my economic impact. It made me happier. Sustainable shopping is not just about the environment. It’s also about helping humanity. I usually donate or recycle most of my books as soon as I finish reading them. This is one book I plan on keeping.”—Biruté Mary Galdikas, PhD, renowned primatologist, conservationist, and author 
   
  This audiobook contains a supplemental PDF of diagrams and charts.

  A Suitcase Full of Wildflowers

  There were possibly twenty reasons why I hung the sign on my study door reading, 'Gone to Scotland... back in a month.' Reason number one: I was compelled to languish on a stone bench in the rocky high grounds of Edinburgh Castle, eyes closed, savoring the sweet sound of bagpipes echoing through the centuries-old stillness. The only thrill that could possibly surpass the bagpipes would be the sensory awakening at the Edinburgh Tattoo. Beyond that, my list included a longing to revisit the lochs in hopes of glimpsing the elusive Nessie, a craving for the earthy taste of haggis, a penchant for a lively Scottish reel and jig, and a need to purchase genuine Scottish shortbread. I also yearned for an authentic Scottish coat, gloves, and matching tam-o-shanter, the sight of a man in a kilt (preferably bending over to tie his shoelaces), and the desire to potter around a certain famous viaduct crossing.
