Summary

Climbing Plants Basics offers a comprehensive exploration of vertical gardening, combining scientific understanding with practical guidance to help gardeners transform ordinary spaces into stunning vertical landscapes. The book uniquely bridges the gap between botanical science and everyday gardening practices, making complex concepts accessible through clear explanations of how different climbing mechanisms work - from twining stems to adhesive pads - and why certain support structures succeed while others fail.

 
The book progresses logically through three main sections, beginning with fundamental plant selection and care requirements, including detailed profiles of 50 climbing plants from familiar favorites like clematis to exotic options such as chocolate vine. The middle section delves into the crucial aspects of support systems and training techniques, providing readers with engineering-based insights into building effective trellises and arbors. The final section addresses advanced topics like pruning strategies and pest management, ensuring readers can maintain their vertical gardens throughout the seasons.

 
What sets this guide apart is its interdisciplinary approach, combining principles from architecture, botany, and environmental science to create a comprehensive resource for both novice and experienced gardeners. The content is enriched with real-world case studies and detailed illustrations, making it particularly valuable for urban gardeners and landscape designers looking to maximize limited space through vertical growing techniques. Whether planning a simple clematis installation or designing an elaborate rose-covered arbor, readers will find practical, science-backed solutions for their vertical gardening projects.

    The Olympic Class ships were intended to be the greatest liners to ever sail the oceans, but the Britannic sank only four years after her sister ship the Titanic. While the wreck of the Titanic is two miles below the surface and rapidly deteriorating, the Britannic is much more accessible (only 400 ft down) and remains largely intact. One of the largest passenger ships ever to have sunk, her wreck presents a unique opportunity to explore the interior of the Olympic Class liners, and examine areas which on the Titanic simply no longer exist. 
 
 
 
Simon Mills bought the wreck of the Britannic in 1996 and has spent more time exploring it than anyone else. Inside the Britannic is the sum of decades of work covering every inch of the shipwreck as he searches for answers to century-old questions, and discovers new mysteries to solve. Simon takes a forensic approach but this book is more than just the autopsy report of a ship. 
 
 
 
The Britannic may have been lost over a century ago, but Simon Mills's fascinating new book gives everyone unparalleled access to rediscover her.

    "One of the penalties of an ecological education," wrote Aldo Leopold, "is that one lives alone in a world of wounds." As climate change and other environmental degradations become more evident, experts predict that an increasing number of people will suffer emotional and psychological distress as a result. Many are feeling these effects already. In the pages of Solastalgia, they will find a source of companionship, inspiration, and advice. 
 
 
 
The concept of solastalgia comes from the Australian philosopher Glenn Albrecht, who describes it as "the homesickness we feel while still at home." It’s the pain and longing we feel as we realize the world immediately around us is changing, with our love for that world serving as a catalyst for action on its behalf. 
 
 
 
This powerful anthology brings together thirty-four writers—educators, journalists, poets, and scientists—to share their emotions in the face of environmental crisis. They share their solastalgia, their beloved places, their vulnerability, their stories, their vision of what we can create.
