    Awarded a 2024 Independent Press Distinguished Favorite in Memoir, Whispers from the Valley of the Yak weaves an intergenerational story about the power of forgiveness and being true to oneself. When Jackie returns to her Chinese birthplace with her aging American parents (former medical missionaries), profound questions arise about love and family. These questions set her on a quest to understand her troubled childhood and what she wants from life. Living in Alaska for five years, Jackie discovers her soul-place and an affinity for mountains and begins three decades of environmental work. Several solo visits to China help her forge a bridge of understanding and forgiveness with her mother. After her parents’ deaths, Jackie takes her adult children to China to retrace her parents’ 1932 trek into eastern Tibet. In so doing, she realizes she has come full circle to the authentic life she has craved.

    Every one of Earth's teeming ecosystems is an evolutionary cauldron 
     
     
     
    Christopher Wills's claim has its roots in an insight from Charles Darwin: the interactions between species in an ecosystem are a powerful driver of evolution. In this book Wills describes how, by using the latest genetic techniques, we are probing ecosystems and discovering that even the most apparently barren of them are rich in variety, especially of microbes. Exploring the many ways in which ecosystems have coped with past change, and how rapidly an ecosystem can develop complexity, Wills illuminates a pathway of hope for the natural world that we have so damaged and depleted. Our new genetic knowledge can help these evolutionary cauldrons to continue brewing richness and diversity, the better to heal our living world and to enable our own survival.

    The Wild Garden was first published in 1870 but it is still hugely relevant to our gardens today. He introduced the world to the concept of wild gardening - naturalising hardy plants from Europe and North America and introducing them in ways that allow their natural way of growing to shine - that is still being implemented in the 21st century.   
    This is the third edition of the book that was published in 1883.
