Horse-hoeing husbandry

Jethro Tull

Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In "Horse-hoeing Husbandry," Jethro Tull presents an innovative treatise that revolutionizes agricultural practices in the early 18th century. Tull's literary style is characterized by a systematic and empirical approach, drawing upon observation and experimentation to espouse the importance of systematic farming techniques. His discourse on the use of the seed drill and horse-drawn hoe reflects a profound understanding of agronomy, marking a pivotal shift towards the scientific methods that would later define modern agriculture. By integrating practical advice with theoretical insights, Tull situates his work within the burgeoning field of agricultural science, contributing significantly to the broader Enlightenment discourse on improvement and progress. Jethro Tull, an English agriculturist and inventor, was deeply influenced by his own experiences on his farm in Berkshire. Having initially pursued a degree in law, Tull's transition to agriculture came from a personal desire to enhance crop yield and soil management. His innovative mindset, coupled with the socio-economic pressure for increased food production during England's agrarian transformation, spurred him to synthesize his observations into practical applications, leading to the publication of this influential work. "Horse-hoeing Husbandry" is essential reading for anyone interested in the evolution of agricultural practices and the scientific revolution. Tull's methodological approach not only provides insights into 18th-century farming but also offers timeless principles that resonate with contemporary agricultural challenges. Readers will find in Tull's work a fertile ground for understanding the relationship between agriculture, technology, and sustainability.

Notebook

Tom Cox

The story behind Notebook starts with a minor crime: the theft of Tom Cox's rucksack from a Bristol pub in 2018. In that rucksack was a journal containing ten months' worth of notes, one of the many Tom has used to record his thoughts and observations over the past twelve years. It wasn't the best he had ever kept – his handwriting was messier than in his previous notebook, his entries more sporadic – but he still grieved for every one of the hundred or so lost pages. This incident made Tom appreciate how much notebook-keeping means to him: the act of putting pen to paper has always led him to write with an unvarnished, spur-of-the-moment honesty that he wouldn't achieve on-screen.
Here, Tom has assembled his favourite stories, fragments, moments and ideas from those notebooks, ranging from memories of his childhood to the revelation that 'There are two types of people in the world. People who fucking love maps, and people who don't.' The result is a book redolent of the real stuff of life, shot through with Cox's trademark warmth and wit.

World of Guinness

Rory Guinness

The perfect gift book for Guinness lovers, served here.
How did a beer from Dublin become a globally renowned symbol of Ireland?
In 1759, Arthur Guinness left behind his family's small brewery in County Kildare to seek his fortunes in Dublin. After acquiring the ill-equipped St James' Gate brewery, he soon began to produce the Guinness stout that has become world famous.
Rory Guinness, a direct descendant of the brewery's founder, has written the insider's guide to the world of Guinness. He surveys the family history, the unique brewing process, the brewery's distinctive industrial architecture and the beer's legendary advertising, revealing how Guinness and its people became interwoven into the fabric of Dublin life and created a brewing legacy that stretches around the world.
This is also the story of a remarkable resurgence, because Guinness is now the bestselling beer in the UK, while Guinness Zero is reaching new markets. It is the official beer of the English Premier League, and a long-term partner of rugby's men's and women's Six Nations Championship.
World of Guinness is a revised, expanded and redesigned edition of Rory Guinness's classic short introduction, illustrated with archival images, new photography of the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin and a selection of Guinness's witty advertisements. It is published in hardback for the first time and makes a perfect gift.
