Messy Cities - Why We Can't Plan Everything

John Lorinc, Leslie Woo, Zahra Ebrahim, Dylan Reid

Synopsis

Can messiness make our cities more liveable, lively, and inclusive? 
Crowded streets, sidewalk vendors, jumbled architecture, constant clamour, graffitied walls, parks gone wild: are these signs of a poorly managed city or indicators of urban vitality? 
Messy Cities: Why We Can’t Plan Everything argues that spontaneity and urban workarounds are not liabilities but essential elements in all thriving cities. 
Forty-three essays by a range of writers from around the world illuminate the role of messy urbanism in enabling creativity, enterprise, and grassroots initiatives to flourish within dense modern cities. 
With pieces on guerrilla beaches, desire lines, urban interruptions, and the inner lives of unlovely buildings written by experts from all walks of life, Messy Cities makes the case for embracing disorder while not shying away from confronting its challenges.

Forest is a celebration of the diverse ways in which trees and forests are as magnificent, economically relevant and profoundly enchanting today as they ever have been.
Journeying across the continents, writer Matt Collins and photographer Roo Lewis tie together both the historical context and modern-day applications of some of the world's most fascinating and iconic trees. They explore the heritage of woodlands from around the world and meet those whose lives are inexplicably bound to them.
The book is divided into 10 main chapters, each of which explores a tree from a particular genus – Pine, Juniper, Oak, Hornbeam, Cherry, Beech, Birch, Chestnut, Douglas-fir and Poplar. Each chapter provides the reader with a short introduction to the tree, followed by a journalistic account of its relevance to modern day-life (from gin making on Isle of Islay to a truffle farm in Spain), and concludes with an account of the tree in its native forest (from hornbeams in the Ironwoods of Ontario to firs on Vancouver Island).
Captured on medium-format film, Roo’s stunning, rich colour images are the perfect companion to Matt’s engaging storytelling and botanical knowledge. Forest crafts a captivating interpretation of the story of the forest through the trees.
Matt Collins Forest is a non-fiction exploration of conservation, botany, and the protection of our ecosystems. Pre-order this up-coming book to learn about the latest themes and subjects in earth sciences and geography.
For fans of Fiona Danks (Run Wild!), Jo Schofield (Go Wild!), Richard Irvine (Forest School For Grown-Ups), and Bear Grylls (Never Give Up).

The Adam and Eve Story

Chan Thomas

A cinematic journey into the unclassified pages of The Adam and Eve Story by Chan Thomas — the only officially released material traced to CIA archives. Originally published as a much longer manuscript believed to exceed 200 pages, only 57 sanitized and partially redacted pages were officially released to the public. This presentation focuses exclusively on those verified declassified pages, including references to sections and material that remain withheld, censored, or missing from public release. 
While disputed “full copies” continue to circulate online, their authenticity remains unverified. Exploring theories of ancient cataclysms, pole shifts, lost civilizations, and humanity’s forgotten past, this immersive narration brings the controversial text to life through atmospheric storytelling and cinematic visual art inspired by the unclassified material itself.
