  Feral Borough

  Set in the urban pastoral of an East London postcode, Feral Borough asks what it means to call a place home, and how best to share that home with its non-human inhabitants. Meryl Pugh reimagines the wild as 'feral', recording the fauna and flora of Leytonstone in prose as incisive as it is lyrical. Here, on the edge of the city, red kite and parakeets thrive alongside bluebell and yarrow, a muntjac deer is glimpsed in the undergrowth, and an escaped boa constrictor appears on the High Road. In this subtle, captivating book – part herbarium, part bestiary and part memoir – Pugh explores the effects of loss, and lockdown, on human well-being, conjuring the local urban environment as a site for healing and connection.
  'A subtle, heartfelt and affecting book about home, the city and the self -- Pugh reminds us that nowhere, however urban, is without nature; that wherever we go, the intricate web of life continues to shape and change us.' Rebecca Tamás

  Muromachi Period - Ashikaga...

  The Muromachi Period, spanning from 1336 to 1573, marked a significant turning point in Japanese history, characterized by the rise of the Ashikaga Shogunate and the gradual shift toward decentralized feudal rule. This period emerged following the fall of the Kamakura Shogunate, as Ashikaga Takauji established his military government in Kyoto. The political, social, and cultural transformations that unfolded during this time laid the foundation for the later Sengoku era, a period of constant warfare among regional warlords. 
  The decline of the Kamakura Shogunate stemmed from mounting dissatisfaction among the samurai class, who had grown discontent with the Hojo regents’ rule. The Mongol invasions of Japan in 1274 and 1281 had placed immense strain on the government, as victory brought no financial rewards for the warriors who had fought to defend the nation. With no lands to distribute as compensation, loyalty to the shogunate weakened, creating an opportunity for ambitious leaders to challenge its authority. Amid this unrest, Emperor Go-Daigo launched the Kenmu Restoration (1333–1336), an effort to reestablish imperial rule. However, his failure to recognize the interests of the samurai led to his downfall. 
  Ashikaga Takauji, originally a supporter of the emperor, turned against him and seized power, defeating both imperial and Kamakura loyalists. In 1336, Takauji established his own military government, known as the Muromachi Bakufu, in Kyoto. Unlike the Kamakura Shogunate, which ruled from a distant military capital, the Muromachi Shogunate was strategically located in the heart of Japan’s cultural and political sphere. Takauji’s rule was solidified in 1338 when he was officially
