Sinossi

"Tasty Tomato Lore" offers a fascinating journey through the evolution and cultivation of one of the world's most important crops, seamlessly blending scientific research with practical growing advice. This comprehensive guide traces tomatoes from their wild Andean origins to their current status as a global agricultural staple, producing over 180 million tons annually.

 
The book uniquely combines botanical science, cultural history, and modern growing techniques, making complex agricultural concepts accessible to both novice gardeners and experienced horticulturists. The narrative unfolds through three main areas: the vast genetic diversity of tomatoes (with over 10,000 documented varieties), their rich historical significance across different civilizations, and evidence-based cultivation methods.

 
Readers learn how understanding tomato diversity and cultural practices contributes to successful growing, while gaining insights into the plant's crucial role in global food security. The book's approach to presenting information balances technical accuracy with practical application, offering specific growing guides adapted to different climate zones and garden spaces.

 
As the chapters progress from basic botanical science to advanced growing techniques, readers discover the fascinating intersection of traditional wisdom and modern agricultural science. The book explores everything from soil chemistry and climate effects to pest management, incorporating both time-tested Mediterranean and Native American growing methods alongside contemporary approaches.

 
Special attention is given to sustainable gardening practices and the preservation of heirloom varieties, making this an invaluable resource for anyone interested in both the science and practice of tomato cultivation.

    This edition of Super Imperialism is the finalized version of the analysis that Michael Hudson first published in the wake of President Nixon severing the dollar's link to gold in August 1971. Closing the gold window had been imminent since the London Gold Pool was disbanded in 1968 in response to the U.S. overseas military spending that had pushed the balance of payments into steadily deepening deficit since the Korean War (1950-51).

    If this book were written today, it would be called "The Story of the World's Rubbish".That may not sound a promising subject for a book, but we are taken on a journey all over the world (and beyond) to explain the many varieties of dust and refuse - animal, vegetable and mineral - how it is made both by man and by nature, what happens to it, and why we need it. We find that recycling is nothing new: man has been doing it for centuries, and nature has been doing it for billions of years. As every schoolboy knows, 'matter is neither created nor destroyed', so it stands to reason that every particle of it must be somewhere.This study of our knowledge of the earth was written for the layman before most of the -ologies were even a twinkle in a professor's eye. Geology, meteorology, hydrology, biology, glaciology and even sociology and anthropology all have their place in this readable and enjoyable tour of the earth's 'lumber room'.Though some of the science is out of date - it was written, for instance, 80 years before the theory of plate tectonics was understood - the author admits candidly when the science of the day does not yet provide answers to some questions. The almost contemporary description of the eruption of Krakatoa still resonates with us - compare the effect on our modern world of Mount St. Helens and Eyjafjallajökull in recent decades.Miss Gaye shows that far from everything in nature's lumber room being rubbish, every speck of dust has a purpose. The dust-cart (garbage truck) will never look the same to you again. (Summary by Ruth Golding)

    The island of Britain has over 10,000 miles of coastline, steeped in history and constantly shifting, changing, adapting and providing. The Restless Coast is a moving and beautiful account of a journey around it, during which the author travels its length to discover its challenges and opportunities, and to talk to the people trying to protect it.
    
    
    At once delightful travelogue and passionate defence, The Restless Coast shines a powerful spotlight into the thin line that surrounds us, and defines our status as islanders. Overarching the journey is the extraordinary natural history of the coastline, together with the story of how man has imprinted himself on its very geology and shape for countless centuries. Into the account, Roger Morgan-Grenville threads the modern challenges that the shoreline faces, and the people who are trying to protect it. At once informative, angry and funny, The Restless Coast is a very personal love letter to our island edge.
