Synopsis

J. Storer Clouston's "The Adventures of M. D'Haricot" presents a whimsical yet deeply layered narrative that invites readers into the intricate world of its charming protagonist, M. D'Haricot. The novel is characterized by Clouston's signature blend of humor and pathos, employing a rich, narrative style interspersed with sharp social commentary. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Europe, the work reflects the cultural milieu of the time, deftly weaving together elements of adventure, romance, and existential inquiry, all delivered with Clouston's masterful wit. J. Storer Clouston was an author and critic whose own life experiences—spanning different continents and cultures—shaped his literary voice. Born in 1870 in Scotland, Clouston's eclectic background and travels informed his understanding of human nature and society, which he explored thoroughly in this work. His knowledge of literature and critique, combined with personal adventures, provided a fertile ground for the creation of M. D'Haricot, a character embodying both the frivolous and the profound. Readers looking for an engaging exploration of life's adventures, laced with humor and insightful reflections on society, will find "The Adventures of M. D'Haricot" a rewarding journey. This novel stands as a testament to Clouston's talent and offers a literary experience that resonates with both laughter and introspection.

    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.
