  Footprint of a Heart - 18000...

  *This Recording Includes Five Original Songs* 
  Imagine having all of you needs reduced to the things you can't live without; food, water, and shelter. 
  In Footprint of a Heart, Shayla Paradeis, whose trail name is Kiddo, ventures off the path of musical theater at age 21 and moves from Manhattan to Montana. Trading tap shoes for hiking boots, she sculpts a life outdoors as a long-distance hiker. By age 34, she hiked the Appalachian, Pacific Crest, and Continental Divide Trails, the Haute Route in the Alps, and the Te Araroa across New Zealand. As well as thousands of joyful miles running across the land of her dreams, Glacier National Park. All without a smart phone. 
  Kiddo shares the trailside moments of five long journeys, including barren deserts, windy ridges above tree line, ocean tides in estuaries, narrow spaces between the painted lines of highways and guardrails, and countless peaks, passes, meadows, and valleys. Her ventures take her through swarms of bugs, knee-deep mud, every kind of precipitation imaginable, and the threat of rattlesnakes, bears, charging bulls, and one angry mama turkey. 
  Journeys are often more internal than external. As she walks, she learns that counting miles can be a self-measurement as dangerous as body-image or money. The need to connect is the true north. With an openness taught through the trees, she experiences a fulfillment she never dreamed possible. Trails are no longer a thing to do, they're a place to be.

  'Achieving net zero will be the most amazing thing humankind has ever done.' - Bill Gates 
  In 2010, Bill Gates first came up with the term 'Innovating to Zero' to advocate a nuclear energy technology that would be safe and reliable, and have zero emissions. From its early use as a placeholder in Mesopotamian and Mayan civilizations to being ascribed value in seventh-century India, zero has today become the foundation without which modern world would crumble. In the twenty-first century, zero is taking on a completely new meaning - VISION ZERO. 
  In Innovating to Zero, Sarwant Singh sets out to explore a zero-concept world, where this vision can be used to create a sustainable future by achieving zero-emission vehicles, zero waste, zero accidents, zero defects, zero security breaches, zero carbon emissions, zero obesity and even zero diseases. From companies like Nissan, Britannia and Atos to a government organization like UK's Jet Zero Council to even a football club like Tottenham Hotspur, the book highlights the various fields where zero can play a disruptive role-be it among communities or corporates, in the context of social and business agendas, both today and in the future. 
  For readers, Singh provides a step-by-step approach to designing, developing and delivering a zero-vision strategy and a framework to achieve it, inspiring them to create a sustainable planet.

  The Countryman Sets Forth Again is a wonderful compilation of articles covering a range of eclectic rural and countryside subjects. There is something for everyone to discover from the ancient language of field sports to the treasures to be found in old barns; the history of the landscape to dryland husky racing and much more.
  
  Divided into seasonal sections and featuring more than forty-five chapters, many of the articles have appeared in The Field magazine. Here are all aspects of country life described in vivid detail, from the flora and fauna to the folklore. Descriptions of ancient customs feature alongside accounts of pigeon racing and hound trailing; and stories of exotic plant hunters from past centuries. Readers will encounter mad March hares, owls, ravens, bats, pike, eels, and the rare capercaillie. Other subjects include coppicing, ancient trees, hanging game, stoats, terriers and, that perennial British favourite, the weather. The author also takes us back to his childhood with memories of charcoal burners and of harvesting wild food.
  
  Combining his engaging writing, expert insight and immense knowledge, Johnny Scott is a master at celebrating and chronicling the countryside. In this book he continues to convey his wisdom and affection for the magic of nature and rural life.
