  Water is the essence of life — yet across the world, it’s vanishing. Rivers are drying, aquifers collapsing, and once-fertile plains turning to dust. From Cape Town to California, scarcity is no longer a distant threat but a daily reality. 
  In The Thirsting Earth, Alex Southwick journeys across a planet running out of its most vital resource. Through powerful reportage and vivid human stories, Southwick uncovers the fault lines where drought, politics, and inequality collide — and where innovation and resilience are beginning to take root. 
  We meet the communities reviving ancient water-harvesting traditions, scientists reimagining desalination, and activists fighting to reclaim water as a common good rather than a commodity. Together, they offer a glimpse of a future where survival depends not on conquest of nature, but on collaboration with it. 
  Urgent, humane, and unforgettable, The Thirsting Earth is both a warning and a testament — a chronicle of crisis, and a call to rediscover our most elemental connection to the world.

  Think you can't garden because your soil is poor, your water is scarce, and your space is limited? Think again. Drawn from the popular columns of Grocott's Mail, this handbook is packed with proven, hard-won wisdom from South Africa's Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal.  
  This collection of bite-sized columns and stories is a practical guide to creating life and community from barren ground. Learn how to compost, drought-proof your beds, build parks from dumps, and harness ferments for richer soil, the secrets of xerophytes, the art of fermentation for plant health, and how to build a thriving garden from tyres, pallets, and recycled "graywater." 
  More than just a gardening manual, it's a testament to the power of a seed and a shovel to change not only a landscape but a community. This collection chronicles the ingenious, low-cost, and utterly organic methods locals use to coax life from the earth. 
  Filled with heartfelt stories like Cecil's transformation of a Currie Street dumping ground and practical advice for every season, this book is an essential companion for any gardener fighting their own odds. From the "Garden of the Week" at the Hayton Complex to the determined schoolchildren of the Feeding The Self project, these stories prove that a garden is more than food—it's a classroom, a community centre, and a beacon of hope. Packed with actionable advice on everything from graywater systems and winter warming to natural pest control, The Resilient Garden is a powerful call to pick up a trowel and start growing, no matter your circumstances. 
  Whether you're nurturing seedlings on a windowsill or mobilizing a community to turn a dump into a park, this book shows you how to grow against the odds. Your toughest growing conditions are about to become your greatest advantage.

  A restorative and resonant memoir of a year in the life of an aging shepherd 
  		 
  For 50 years, Barbara McLean has tended a flock of Border Leicester sheep on her small Ontario farm, Lambsquarters. In Shepherd’s Sight she shares the crises, pleasures, and challenges of farm life over the course of a year. Now in her 70s, McLean faces a new problem: how much longer she can continue with the physically taxing work that is her central source of meaning and satisfaction.  
  		 
  Through her unsentimental gaze, we witness the highs and heartbreaks of delivering and rearing lambs, the shearing and spinning of wool, the wildlife in the woods (and occasionally in the house), and the garden produce moving from seed to harvest to table. Even after half a century on this land, McLean is still making fresh observations, and she shares them in evocative, elegant prose. As she moves through the calendar year, she also reflects on years past, offering a long view on climate, stewardship, and agriculture. 
  		 
  With its vivid description and absorbing storytelling, Shepherd’s Sight offers an unforgettable glimpse of a life lived on the land.
