Don't Count the Kilometres Make...

Joao Perre Viana

It sounds unlikely, but this book is every possible aspect of the walker/writer genre in one beautifully seamless contemplation. Personal, anecdotal, psychogeographic, psychological, physiological, and spiritual understandings and stories weave around the profoundly practical, deeply kind, and grounded guidance of somebody with 7000s of kilometres and 7000s of insights and deep generosity of spirit.Joao shares his own unfolding inner and outer path with disarming humility and honesty and describes the journeys of his many participants with a lightness of touch that belies the profound transformations that people from all walks of life (pun intended) have discovered on the many Caminos described here.As well as this there is detailed advice on particular routes, where to stay, when to walk and how to do it which trump any walking guide I have read. It really is an instruction manual for a more intentional and fulfilling life and will leave you itching to go outside and begin.For those on a long walk or traveling light, this is the only book you will need.The best way to experience these pages will require walking shoes and the will to walk. Preferably along a path that leads to Nature. Because nothing beats reality, and the reality of Walking Mentorship is waiting for you out of doors.All the stories that appear in this book are real, and Joao tries to tell them as clearly and in detail as his mind remembers.He changed the name of the majority of the characters and avoided making any specific references related to real life.Finally, a note about the book itself: I am not sure this is a book. At times, it seemed like a diary; other moments, like a travel guide, and some days, I even looked at it as a manual.Use it in the best possible way. What you are about to open is just a door.After reading these pages, you might feel the urge to step outside and go for a long stroll. Don´t worry, that is normal.Keep walking

Green

Suzannah Evans

'My mother was an oak treemy dad a garage mechanicMy father was a field of wheatmy mother the Prime MinisterMy mother was an innkeeperand my father a lonely cactus…'
Suzannah Evans' new pamphlet introduces us to Green, half human, half angry nature spirit. Green serves as a stunt double for our own rage and complicity in nature's destruction. He shows us nature's delights so we may mourn their loss more deeply.
'In this delicious mini-biography of the mythic figure, Suzannah Evans has conjured up a Green Man – now modishly monikered 'Green' – who is witness, listener, accountant, cheerleader, of all and every aspect of nature. An inveterate listicle maker, he can't help but nag us until our attention is drawn back inexorably to the wonder of the world; it's nightmares too. Whether he is supervising extinctions, lavender farming, or picking up plastic litter on the beach, Green is unabashedly a fun, wry and playful personality to spend some time with.' Rishi Dastidar
'Green is a contemporary secular canticle, where matter and living beings are in mischievous, polyphonic dialogue. Channelled through this beyond-human figure, it presents a decentred ecology where "Green isn't rooting for anyone" – but where we must find a way to befriend 'him', without turning him into a 'man'. Earth is lively and re-enchanted, in Green's contemporary and accessible animism. We are invited to accept the majesty of llama memes alongside the 'death drop' of species extinction. Fuck you, Green says to the wasps, stinging him all over, I still love you. A gentle, passionate, good-natured plea, for even the stickiest, ickiest, grossest creatures to be named in Green's – and humanity's – affections.' Caleb Parkin

Gastroenterology - Digestive...

Ava Westwood

Gastroenterology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the study, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders related to the digestive system. The digestive system, which consists of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and associated organs such as the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder, plays a crucial role in processing food, absorbing nutrients, and eliminating waste. The complexity of the digestive system makes it susceptible to a wide range of conditions, from common issues like acid reflux to more complex diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and liver cirrhosis. Understanding gastroenterology is vital for maintaining digestive health and effectively managing these disorders.
The field of gastroenterology has a broad scope, as it encompasses diseases and conditions affecting various parts of the digestive tract, including the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. Gastroenterologists are medical professionals trained to address these conditions, using a combination of diagnostic tools, clinical expertise, and advanced treatment techniques. In recent years, advances in endoscopic procedures, genetic research, and medical therapies have greatly improved our ability to diagnose and treat digestive disorders, allowing for better patient outcomes.
Digestive disorders can vary from mild and transient to chronic and debilitating. Some of the most common gastrointestinal issues include gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and gallbladder diseases. These conditions often present with symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, and heartburn. In more severe cases, conditions like Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and liver diseases such as hepatitis or cirrhosis can have long-term health consequences and require specialized care.
