  Henry Vizetelly, writing under the pseudonym J. Tyrwhitt Brooks, recalls an expedition to California he took between 1847-1848 . Originally, he planned to enlist as a surgeon for the US Army during the Mexican war, but conflicts had ended by the time he applied. In a quick change of plans, he joined a group of prospectors on their way to the newly found gold fields of California. While he might not find service in the military, his training as a physician made him a valuable addition to the ragtag team of explorers.His training as a physician gives us an exacting perspective of the events and people who struck out from more sedate routines to prospect gold in the Californian wilderness. However, he is unprepared to find a cure for the gold fever that has depopulated the surrounding towns. Only one member of the group, an experienced fur-trapper, is able to resist the lustrous lure of nuggets, flakes and gold richly deposited in the dusty desert.Like the others who have left jobs to prospect for gold, he learns how to live on the land and struggle through hardship away from the security of city life. His motley group of changing characters ride through sudden fortunes and disasters while meeting Mormons, Indians and not least of all a bountiful harvest of gold. Before he returns to his home in England, another quick change of fortune undoes his plans for a comfortable retirement and shows us the extent of greed that has sprung up in the mining camps.

  Love Your Mother - 50 States 50...

  From elder voices opposing the Dakota Pipeline to young people running for office to advocate for change, every day we see real-life stories about how women are making a collective difference on climate justice. Women are also disproportionately impacted by climate change and thus are critical to transforming society away from dependence on fossil fuels and toward renewable energy and environmental equity. 
   
   
   
  As a mother and a professor of environmental education, Mallory McDuff wanted to give her two daughters and her students a roadmap to engage in climate justice in their communities, rather than be left feeling paralyzed by the enormity of the problem. She set out to find women of diverse ages, backgrounds, and vocations—one from each of the fifty US states—as inspiration for a new kind of leadership focused on the heart of the climate crisis. Love Your Mother lifts up the stories of these women working toward a viable future, from farmer and rancher Donna Kilpatrick in Arkansas to writer Latria Graham in South Carolina. 
   
   
   
  From Alabama to Alaska, from Wisconsin to Wyoming, these women are poets, physicians, climate scientists, students, farmers, writers, documentary filmmakers, and more. Their work lights the way for conversation and collective action in our homes and in the world. It's time we follow their lead.

  A collection of timeless and versatile recipes inspired by the food of the Mediterranean countries, for every day, every occasion and every appetite.
  Take a journey with through your favourite flavours from the Mediterranean, with over 100 recipes influenced and inspired by the food prepared and enjoyed in France, Spain, Greece and Italy. This is crowd-pleasing, life-giving food, designed to be shared and that you will make time and time again, favourites that stand the test of time. ALL are welcome at Kathy Kordalis' table, as traditionally, the Mediterranean diet was based on mainly vegetarian meals and protein for celebrations, the perfect basis for a 'flexitarian' approach. In a meal-planning section there are recommendations on how to create a meal for people with specific dietary needs. Being mindful of seasonality and food availability is important, but without it affecting your joy, because as well as providing nourishment, food should bring you happiness. This super-versatile recipe collection features sauces, pickles and ferments for the fridge and store-cupboard, recipes for easy home-made breads, seasonal vegetable dishes (including salads, sides and mains), fish plates from the sea and meat plates from the land, plus deliciously indulgent sweet things. In addition, Mediterranean Summer Table is peppered with vignettes on key Mediterranean ingredients, from olives and olive oil to honey and saffron, to create a beautiful cookbook, and a reference to treasure and revisit time and time again.
