  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.

  Serene one moment and destructive the next, Lake Erie's moods mirror its tumultuous role in history . 
   
  As the site of Cleveland's Great Lakes Exposition, the lake offered visitors a respite from the Great Depression, and Hotel Victory, once considered the world's largest summer resort, drew thousands to Put-In-Bay. Daring postal workers dangerously crossed the ice-covered surface on hybrid "boats" and by foot. Canal Street, at the Buffalo Wharf, was once called "the Wickedest Street in America." The Erie is one of thousands of ships that lie in a solemn graveyard below the surface. And rum runners turned the lake into a watery highway for illegal booze during Prohibition. 
   
  Author Jennifer Boresz Engelking reveals entertaining, heartbreaking, and nostalgic stories of the lost sites, businesses, and industries of Lake Erie.

  When the British Government turn down a revolutionary weapons system in favour of the new Euro fighter they don't realise the wrath their decision will cause. The only radar system capable of detecting the new Thor's Hammer is the experimental Spyglass system being transported on a cruise liner commanded by ex-Navy Captain Eric Swanson. Martin Westfarland, designer of Thor's Hammer, decides to teach the British Government a lesson by sinking the liner and destroying Spyglass before passing Thor's Hammer onto the Iraqis who plan to use it to deliver a deadly bio-weapon to the west. Through a series of action-filled events, Swanson and Squadron Leader Gerry Denton are brought together to thwart the terrorist attack, while the SAS are assigned to locate and destroy the chemical lab in the Syrian Desert, which created the virus. Unfortunately the virus has already been loaded onto Thor's Hammer. Thus it falls to Denton to fly the Typhoon Euro fighter against the faster and stealthier Thor's Hammer before it can deliver its deadly payload.
