Sinossi

Food Foraging Guide offers a detailed exploration into the world of edible plants and insects, emphasizing sustainable practices rooted in science and respect for nature. This guide addresses the growing interest in self-reliance and environmental stewardship by providing accessible knowledge on how to safely identify, harvest, and utilize resources found in your local environment. Interestingly, many edible insects, like crickets, offer complete proteins comparable to beef with a significantly lower environmental impact, and some common "weeds" are more nutritious than many cultivated vegetables. 

 
The book uniquely blends scientific rigor with traditional ecological knowledge, guiding readers through botanical and entomological identification using high-resolution photographs and detailed descriptions. It progresses from foraging ethics and legal considerations to plant and insect identification, organized geographically, before delving into harvesting techniques, processing methods, and recipes. This approach ensures readers not only learn what to forage but also how to do so responsibly, promoting biodiversity and discouraging destructive practices.

Tremendous Trifles - "Perhaps...

G K Chesterton

A wonderful and whimsical collection of short essays on everything from sketching on brown paper and building toy theatres to the nature of Englishness and faith."Tremendous Trifles contains simply some of the best essays Chesterton ever wrote. They originally appeared in the Daily News, which Chesterton contributed to from 1901 to 1913, and which explains why people bought that paper. Which is an idea so large it spills over into another essay, “A Piece of Chalk.” Here Chesterton describes how he has set out to do some drawing with his chalks, but is distressed to find that he has forgotten his white chalk. White is essential. White is a color. It is not merely the absence of color. It is “a shining and affirmative thing…it draws stars.” As white is to art, so is virtue to religion. Virtue is a positive thing; not merely “the absence of dangers or the avoidance of moral dangers…Chastity does not mean abstention from sexual wrong; it means something flaming, like Joan of Arc.”In this book, Chesterton looks at the ordinary, common things and asks us to see how extraordinary and uncommon they are. The things in his pockets, the objects in a railway station, the people in the street. With these simple, random things he can defend Christianity, Western Civilization and Democracy. “Whatever is it that we are all looking for?” he asks at the beginning of an essay entitled “A Glimpse of My Country.” He suggests that what we are looking for lies very close; we just don’t manage to see it. It is a theme throughout the book, and throughout Chesterton’s writings that what appears to be a trifle is actually tremendous. In the title essay Chesterton crystallizes this truth in a perfect sentence that would go on to be inscribed on buildings and quoted by popes: “The world will never starve for want of wonders; but only for want of wonder.”-- Dale Ahlquist, lecture for Chesterton University
