Synopsis

Colombian Coffee Ways explores the deep cultural significance of Colombian coffee, revealing it as more than just a beverage but as a cornerstone of national identity and social cohesion. The book delves into the historical roots of coffee cultivation in Colombia, tracing its journey from an imported curiosity to a national obsession. It highlights how unique microclimates and generations of farming families have shaped the "eje cafetero," turning it into a cultural landscape where coffee acts as a powerful social glue.

The book progresses by first introducing the historical roots of Colombian coffee. It then dives into the intricacies of coffee cultivation and its impact on the environment. It further explores the diverse methods of coffee preparation unique to Colombia, and the art of "cata," or coffee tasting. Finally, it examines the social rituals surrounding coffee consumption, spotlighting its role in everyday life.

Through ethnographic field studies, historical archives, and interviews, it uncovers how communal coffee consumption promotes dialogue, strengthens social bonds, and perpetuates traditions across generations. By blending factual information with engaging storytelling, Colombian Coffee Ways offers readers a chance to appreciate the profound cultural significance embedded within each cup. It connects diverse fields, such as anthropology, economics, and environmental science. This allows for a deeper understanding of coffee's far-reaching influence.

We Made a Garden

Margery Fish

An elegant new edition of a classic book from one of the twentieth century's greatest garden writers.
This landmark work on creating a garden was first published in 1956 and has rarely been out of print since. We Made a Garden is the story of how Margery Fish, one of the leading British gardeners of the mid-20th century, and her husband Walter transformed an acre of wilderness into a stunning cottage garden, still open to the public at East Lambrook Manor, Somerset, England. Quirky and readable, this book details her creation of a world-renowned cottage garden, as well as her battles with Walter in the process, who preferred the standard suburban approach.
In this beautiful and timeless work, she recounts the trials and tribulations, the successes and failures of her venture with ease and humour. Topics covered are colourful and diverse, ranging from the most suitable hyssop for the terraced garden through composting, hedges and making paths to the best time to lift and replant tulip bulbs. This book has been hailed as everything from a blueprint for the creation of a modern cottage garden to a feminist manifesto, and the author's practical knowledge, imaginative ideas and general good sense will encourage and inspire gardeners everywhere.
