  Lots of people take a walk to clear their heads, but have you ever walked over six hundred miles to do it?On a misty, gray morning in the summer of 2018, Gordon Bernhardt set out from a small town in the French Pyrenees to walk the ancient pilgrim route of Camino de Santiago, seeking clarity for his business, his relationships, and his priorities in life. The lessons he learned as a peregrino—a pilgrim—ranged from insights on financial advising and investing to the importance of noticing the tiniest details of each day: like the ant trails winding across the path at his feet or the “smiling sunflower” that lightened his steps in the middle of a hot summer day.An investing book like no other, Buen Camino: What a Hike through Spain Taught Me about Investing and Life will remind you that although we’re all walking a different path, we’re all headed for a common destination.

  Edible Landscapes - Combining...

  Edible landscapes are a growing trend that merges the best of both worlds: beauty and utility. By incorporating edible plants into traditional ornamental gardens, you can create a space that is not only visually pleasing but also functional. This approach allows you to enjoy the fruits, vegetables, and herbs that you cultivate while simultaneously enhancing your outdoor living space. It’s a way to transform your garden into something that nourishes both the body and the soul, offering an inviting atmosphere where every corner has a purpose. 
  The idea of combining aesthetics with food production may seem like a modern trend, but it has roots in ancient cultures where gardens were designed to provide sustenance, medicine, and beauty all in one. Today, edible landscapes are gaining popularity as people seek more sustainable ways to live, reduce their environmental footprint, and reconnect with nature. These gardens offer an opportunity to grow your own food, cut down on grocery bills, and reduce the reliance on store-bought, often over-processed, food. 
  Creating an edible landscape is more than just planting a few herbs in the garden or adding fruit trees alongside flower beds. It involves a thoughtful design process, one that takes into consideration not only the practical needs of the plants but also how they fit into the larger aesthetic picture. The goal is to strike a balance between form and function, so that every plant serves a dual purpose—contributing both to the overall design and to your kitchen. 
  There are numerous benefits to edible landscaping. First and foremost, it fosters self-sufficiency, allowing you to harvest fresh produce right from your backyard. Edible gardens also promote biodiversity, as they often include a variety of plants that attract beneficial insects and wildlife. Additionally, they help to reduce food miles, making your meals more sustainable.

  Shitty Breaks - A Celebration of...

  Not everything that glitters is gold - which is why Ben Aitken went to Wolverhampton for the weekend. 
   
  Over the next year, the bestselling author of A Chip Shop in Poznan and The Gran Tour visited twelve of the least popular spots in the UK and Ireland for a city break, as ranked by national tourism boards. The motivation wasn't to take the biscuit or stick the boot in, but to seek out the good stuff, to uncover the gems, to have a nice time. By doing so, he hoped to demonstrate that anywhere - like anyone - can be interesting and nourishing and enjoyable if approached in the right fashion. 
   
  Ben went skiing in Sunderland, to the football in Wrexham, and fell in love with Dunfermline. He kissed an alpaca in Bradford, suffered jellied eels in Chelmsford, and had more craic in Limerick than was wise. The upshot is a celebration of the underdog; a hymn to the wrong direction; and evidence that there's no such thing as a shitty break. What's more, by spreading its affection beyond the usual suspects (which are often overdone and overpriced), Shitty Breaks promotes a less expensive and more sustainable brand of travel. 
   
  By going against the grain, the book champions the unsung in an algorithmic, over-signposted world dominated by celebs and hotspots. Cheeky weekend in Milton Keynes anyone?

  Cougars on the Cliff - One Man's...

  Maurice Hornocker is recognized worldwide as the first scientist to unravel the secrets of America's most enigmatic predator—the mountain lion. A story of redemption, this book is a memoir about the never-before-told adventures, challenges, and controversies surrounding Hornocker's groundbreaking study of cougars in the remote reaches of the Idaho Primitive Area. 
   
   
   
  North America's biggest cat was once killed for bounty dollars, slaughtered with impunity and driven toward extinction. But today's cat of intrigue, despite our lingering fears and misconceptions, has returned to much of its native range in the western United States and gained respect as a predator integral and necessary to wild ecosystems. This turnaround was triggered by one man: Maurice Hornocker. Cougars on the Cliff recounts the early years of his research when he tracked lions following a dog's nose and footprints in the snow—before telemetry was available. Hornocker was first to learn that mountain lions living in stable populations limit their own numbers through territoriality and a concept he called "mutual avoidance." This insight flew in the face of long-held beliefs that cougars were prolific and wanton killers that needed to be controlled as vermin. Thanks to Hornocker's work, today cougars can be found throughout the West and have even started to reclaim their place in New England.
