  Spaniels are some of the most popular dog breeds, fulfilling working and companion roles in society. While spaniels are typically sociable, outgoing, optimistic and friendly, they have retained many traits reflective of their working gundog origins, such as hunting, retrieving, speed and stamina. These remain essential for working Spaniels, but for Spaniels and their caregivers who find themselves in a more domestic situation, these traits can sometimes prove challenging. This book is an essential guide for anyone who lives with or is thinking about living with spaniels and wants to understand them more. Written by a canine scientist with decades of experience with cocker spaniels, this book explores the origin, care, management and training of spaniels. It considers how to develop a responsive and supportive relationship with your spaniel, and examines practical and fair training approaches to support health, welfare and behaviour in a clear and accessible way.

  • Cutting and repairing techniques: making cuts and slits in the layers of fabric to reveal the secret strata of nature beneath, echoing the planet's fragility.

  Soil Health - Building and...

  Soil structure is the physical arrangement of particles and aggregates that form the soil matrix, affecting everything from root growth to water retention and air circulation. The fundamental components of soil include sand, silt, and clay, each contributing unique properties that define the texture and function of the soil. Understanding soil structure is crucial for anyone looking to improve or maintain soil health, as it directly influences the soil’s ability to support plant life. 
  The size of soil particles determines its texture, which in turn affects its drainage and nutrient-holding capacity. Sand particles are the largest, with relatively little ability to retain nutrients or water, but they allow for excellent drainage. Silt particles are smaller and retain water better, though they may also become compacted more easily. Clay, the smallest of the soil particles, holds both water and nutrients but can create a dense, heavy structure that may not drain well, especially when wet. 
  Soil texture influences its ability to hold nutrients and support plant growth. A balanced mixture of sand, silt, and clay—known as loam—is ideal for most plants, as it combines the drainage properties of sand with the nutrient and water retention capabilities of silt and clay. Loam provides the necessary balance of aeration, moisture, and nutrient availability for healthy root systems. 
  The way these particles aggregate into clusters—known as soil structure—is just as important as texture. Soil aggregates, or clumps of soil particles bound together by organic matter, create small spaces for air and water to flow through. This porosity is essential for maintaining soil health. Well-aggregated soil has good permeability and
