Summary

Wales has a rich and varied flora of about 1200 native and anciently-introduced flowering plants, conifers and ferns. 
 
Amongst these are many special plants ranging from arctic-alpine relics of the last Ice Age to recently evolved species and medicinal herbs. They range from short-lived annual grasses to long-lived trees and vary ecologically from those growing on the sea shores to those on the tops of mountains. 
 
Some are widespread around the world and some are endemics only found in Wales. The aim of this book is to celebrate 101 of our rarer Welsh plants, to summarise what is currently known about them and to raise their profile in the national consciousness.

    ‘We will not achieve net zero in the cafes, dinner parties and wine bars of our inner cities.’ Little infuriated the forgotten people of the twenty-first century—women and younger voters, especially—more than Scott Morrison’s deluge of disparagement on the issues that mattered to them. The May 2022 election marked the great re-engagement of those ignored and patronised for too long on climate, integrity and gender equity.The electoral map has been dramatically redrawn. However, the triumph of the ‘teals’ was not entirely unexpected to those assisting their rise, such as Climate 200 founder Simon Holmes à Court. As Australia entered its lost decade on climate action, he observed that conventional advocacy had become a case of diminishing returns, and that Cathy McGowan’s election as a community independent in 2013 provided a template for direct political engagement. The result was Climate 200, a crowdfunded outfit intended to provide the money and expertise to better match the major parties and turbocharge the grassroots movement emerging in thirty-plus electorates.Despite a relentless and increasingly shrill campaign of vilification aimed at Holmes à Court and the candidates by the Liberals, assisted by their media mates, we saw the election of six new community independent MPs and one senator. It was a victory of facts over fear, priorities over prejudice. It was a blow to the unfit-for-purpose ‘majoritariat’, a rejection of the false binary choice between parties that no longer reflect the hopes and complexity of modern democratic Australia.This is the story of how a team of inspired young tech-heads and older sages used their real and virtual-world experience to help a cluster of communities get the representation they wanted.

    Python is one of the most powerful computer programming languages of all time, for several reasons we’ll discuss in the first section. The syntax is simple to learn and use and, compared to other programming languages, you often don’t need to write so much code. The sheer simplicity of the language helps programmers write more and develop programs that are more complex in less time. 
This guide provides all you need to master the basics of programming with Python. I have kept it deliberately simple – it is a quick-start guide, after all. I have provided plenty of coding examples to show you how the syntax works, too, along with a guide on installing Python on Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. I finish with some useful tips on helping you to code better. 
By the end of the guide, you will have a deeper understanding of the Python language, a stepping stone from which to take your learning further. 
Please note that we are using Python 3 in this guide, not Python 2, as many similar guides do. 
Are you ready to become a computer programmer? Let’s get started on this wonderful journey.
