    “A vivid re-creation of a lost time and place . . . In this quite wonderful book, Booth brings the Hong Kong of his youth back to life.” —The Washington Post Book WorldAt seven years old, Martin Booth found himself with all of Hong Kong at his feet. His father was posted there in 1952, and this memoir is his telling of that youth, a time when he had access to the corners of a colony normally closed to a “Gweilo,” a “pale fellow” like him.His experiences were colorful and vast. Befriending rickshaw coolies and local stallholders, he learned Cantonese, sampled delicacies such as boiled water beetles and one-hundred-year-old eggs, and participated in vibrant festivals. He even entered the forbidden Kowloon Walled City, wandered into a secret lair of Triads, and visited an opium den.From the plink-plonk man with his dancing monkey to the Queen of Kowloon (a crazed tramp who may have been a Romanov), Martin Booth saw it all—but his memoir illustrates the deeper challenges he faced in his warring parents: a broad-minded mother who embraced all things Chinese and a bigoted father who was enraged by his family's interest in “going native.”Martin Booth's compelling memoir, the last book he completed before dying, glows with infectious curiosity and humor and is an intimate representation of the now extinct time and place of his growing up.“Eloquent and engrossing.” —People“A grand adventure, seen through a boy’s eyes but remembered by a novelist with a sensualist’s appreciation of sights, sounds, and tastes . . . An extraordinarily happy book, filled with hilarious set-pieces and pulsating with Hong Kong’s vibrant street life.” —The New York Times

    Welcome to The Garden of Eden: Cultivating a Sustainable Garden Area from Scratch. Whether you’re starting with a barren backyard, a weedy patch of ground, or a blank canvas on a rooftop, this book is your companion on the journey to transforming that space into a thriving, life-giving garden. More than just growing food or flowers, this is about cultivating a place of connection—to the land, to the seasons, and to yourself. 
In today’s world, gardening is more than a pastime—it’s a quiet act of resistance, a way to nourish not only our bodies but also our communities and ecosystems. Sustainability isn’t a trendy word here; it’s the foundation. Every garden has the potential to support biodiversity, capture carbon, conserve water, and regenerate soil. It can become a sanctuary not just for pollinators and birds, but for the gardener as well. 
This book will guide you through the entire process, from imagining your ideal garden to watching it flourish year after year. You’ll learn how to observe your space with a gardener’s eye, work with nature instead of against it, and build healthy soil that does half the work for you. We’ll explore techniques like no-dig gardening, permaculture principles, composting, and water-wise strategies—all rooted in a respect for natural systems and long-term stewardship. 
No matter the size of your plot or your level of experience, you’ll find practical advice and inspiration tailored to your needs. This isn’t about perfection. Gardens grow best when you’re willing to make a few mistakes, experiment boldly, and stay curious. You’ll discover that the work of gardening—planting, weeding, harvesting, observing—isn’t just a means to an end, but a deeply rewarding part of the process.

    Once upon a time, there was a family: Divya Dugar, her partner Olivier, their tiny hooman Marius, and their three rescue streeties-Tigress, Marcopolo and Pari. They lived in Delhi. And they wanted to go to other places. 
So they booked a first-class coupe with the Indian Railways that allowed them to travel with their dogs. The sixsome went on many, many train journeys. It was not just about getting to a place, be it Goa, Rajasthan or Madhya Pradesh, but about seeing it with new eyes-and ears and noses, which is inevitable when half your touring party is canine. As they faced uncanny, hilarious situations and tried their best to grapple with systems designed for human convenience, the high point of the trips was often the adventures in the train compartment, which the dogs made their very own. 
A witty, whimsical, wry account of those journeys, accompanied by some stunning photographs, Chaos in a Coupe is a book that travellers, pet parents and anyone who likes a good read will enjoy.
