Summary

Create your own farm in your garden with tips on growing, harvesting and eating your own produce.
Nicki Trench has created her own garden farm from scratch, and now shares with you everything there is to know about growing vegetables, fruit and herbs, including making your own compost, growing in raised beds and protecting your crops from pests and disease. Nicki also explains how to rear chickens for eggs and bees for honey, and gives advice on keeping goats and pigs. The benefits of creating your garden farm are not just economic – the energy once obsessively expended on the exercise bike can now be channelled more productively by digging the vegetable patch, turning the compost or cleaning out the hen coop. Communities are reappearing over garden fences as neighbours share their harvest of courgette, spinach and eggs. Whatever you choose to grow or rear on your garden farm, this book offers a taste of the good life that is easy, satisfying and inexpensive to achieve.

    Henri Bergson’s Laughter: An Essay on the Meaning of the Comic stands as one of the most influential explorations of humor ever written. First published in the early 20th century, this groundbreaking philosophical essay examines why we laugh, what we find funny, and how the comic reveals deeper truths about human nature and society. 
    Bergson argues that laughter is more than amusement — it is a social act, a subtle corrective that highlights rigidity, absent-mindedness, and mechanical behavior in human life. Through vivid examples and sharp analysis, he uncovers the hidden logic behind comedy, showing how humor exposes the delicate interplay between individuality and the social order. 
    Narrated with clarity and sophistication by Luke Oldham, this audiobook brings Bergson’s timeless insights to life, offering listeners a fresh perspective on the everyday comic moments that shape our shared human experience. 
    Perfect for lovers of philosophy, psychology, literature, and anyone curious about why we laugh — and what our laughter truly means.

    The comedian, actor, television host, podcast king, and New York Times bestselling author of President Me, Not Taco Bell Material, and In Fifty Years We’ll All Be Chicks now lays down the law on the plight of the modern parent. 
    Parents, do you often think that if your kids had to grow up the way you did—without iPads, 70-inch flatscreen TVs, American Girl dolls, and wifi in the climate controlled minivan—that they might actually be better off? Do you feel underappreciated or ignored? Do you worry you’re raising a bunch of spoiled softies who will never know how to do anything themselves—because you do everything for them? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you need Daddy, Stop Talking. 
    Adam rips parenthood a new one, telling it straight about what adults must do if they don’t want to have to support their kids forever. Using his own crappy childhood as a cautionary tale, and touting the pitfalls of the kind of helicopter parenting so pervasive today, Daddy, Stop Talking is the only parenting book you should ever read. Here, too, is sage advice to Adam’s own kids—and to future parents—on what matters most: dating; drinking and drugs; buying your first house and car; puberty; and what kind of assholes his kids (and yours) should avoid becoming. Even if his own son and daughter pretty much ignore everything he says, you shouldn’t. And you’re welcome. Again.

    FORREST GUMP 
    THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
      
    FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY ROBERT ZEMECKIS 
      
    CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
      
    ABOUT THE FILM 
    Forrest Gump is a heartwarming drama about a kind-hearted man from Alabama with a low IQ who inadvertently influences several major historical events in the 20th century. The film follows Forrest’s extraordinary life, from his childhood with a loving mother to his experiences as a college football star, soldier in Vietnam, ping-pong champion, and shrimp boat captain. The film explores themes of destiny, love, perseverance, and the unpredictability of life, while highlighting the impact of historical events. Told from Forrest’s unique perspective, it combines humor, drama, and emotional depth, reflecting the power of human resilience and simplicity. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “Tom Hanks was not paid for this film. Instead, he took percentage points, which ultimately netted him around $40 million.” 
      
    “The line, "My name is Forrest Gump. People call me Forrest Gump," was ad-libbed by Tom Hanks during filming. Director Robert Zemeckis liked it so much that he decided to keep it in.” 
      
    “With every transition of Forrest's age, one thing remains the same: in the first scene of each transition, he wears a blue plaid shirt.” 
      
    “Tom Hanks' younger brother, Jim Hanks, doubled for him during many of his numerous running sequences.” 
      
    “The necklace worn by Lieutenant Dan is a rosary with a Saint Christopher medal, inscribed "Protect Us In Combat." It was worn in Vietnam by Gary Sinise's brother-in-law, Jack Treese, in 1967-68.”
