Beschreibung

'A celebration of community, belonging, intimacy, healing, reclamation, connection, growth, grief, birth, and joy' Victoria Bennett, author of All My Wild Mothers
'Dip into these pages as an allotment sceptic and you may well find your mind is changed. If you have a plot, you'll be reminded of why all the hard work is worthwhile.' The Garden
This Allotment brings together thirteen brilliant contemporary writers in a glorious celebration of these entirely unique spaces: plots that mean so much more than the soil upon which they sit.
An allotment. A health-giving, heart-filling miniature kingdom of carrots, courgettes and callaloo. A microcosm for our societies at large as people claim their 'patch' and guard it protectively, but also of welcoming arms, gifted gluts and new recipes from overseas.

They are places of blowsy dahlias, cricket on the radio and cups of tea in tumbledown sheds; they are buzzing bees and the wisdom of weeds and seeds; they are resilience, resistance and freedom with a radical history and future. All life is here is this collection of vibrant original pieces on growing, eating and nurturing.

    A pioneering scientist presents a mind-expanding account of the sociogenomics revolution, which promises to upend everything we know about human development. 
     
     
     
    Sociogenomics brings together advances in molecular genetics and traditional social and behavioral science. The key tool is the polygenic index, which allows us to analyze DNA to measure a child's genetic potential. Today, we can estimate a child's adult height, how far they will go in school, and their weight as an adult—all from a cheek swab, finger prick, or vial of saliva. Dalton Conley and other researchers are using this new science to shed light on the ways in which genes shape our world, influencing how each person both creates and responds to the environment around them. Conley reveals a world where children's DNA influences the nurture they extract from their parents; the genes of our schoolmates affect our likelihood of smoking as much as our own DNA does; and spouses' genes influence each other's moods and behaviors. 
     
     
     
    The Social Genome presents a nuanced, powerful perspective on individual potential and social dynamics and raises critical ethical questions about how we will navigate a future where we have access to far more genetic information than ever before.

    The Accidental Ecosystem tells the story of how cities across the United States went from having little wildlife to filling, dramatically and unexpectedly, with wild creatures. Today, many of these cities have more wild animals living in them than at any time in at least the past 150 years. Why have so many cities—the most artificial and human-dominated of all Earth's ecosystems—grown rich with wildlife, even as wildlife has declined in most of the rest of the world? And what does this paradox mean for people, wildlife, and nature on our increasingly urban planet? 
     
     
      
    The Accidental Ecosystem is the first book to explain this phenomenon from a deep historical perspective, and its focus includes a broad range of species and cities. Digging into the natural history of cities and unpacking our conception of what it means to be wild, this book provides fascinating context for why animals are thriving more in cities than outside of them. Considering what it means to live in diverse, multispecies communities and exploring how human and non-human members of communities might thrive together, Peter S. Alagona goes beyond the tension between those who embrace the surge in urban wildlife and those who think of animals as invasive or as public safety hazards.

    In The Secrets of Alchemy, Lawrence M. Principe, one of the world's leading authorities on the subject, brings alchemy out of the shadows and restores it to its important place in human history and culture. By surveying what alchemy was and how it began, developed, and overlapped with a range of ideas and pursuits, Principe illuminates the practice. He vividly depicts the place of alchemy during its heyday in early modern Europe, and then explores how alchemy has fit into wider views of the cosmos and humanity, touching on its enduring place in literature, fine art, theater, and religion as well as its recent acceptance as a serious subject of study for historians of science. In addition, he introduces the listener to some of the most fascinating alchemists, such as Zosimos and Basil Valentine, whose lives dot alchemy's long reign from the third century and to the present day. Through his exploration of alchemists and their times, Principe pieces together closely guarded clues from obscure and fragmented texts to reveal alchemy's secrets, and—most exciting for budding alchemists—uses them to recreate many of the most famous recipes in his lab, including those for the "glass of antimony" and "philosophers' tree." This unique approach brings the listener closer to the actual work of alchemy than any other book.

    Millions of Americans suffer from back pain and try numerous remedies to ease their suffering. 
    It's unlikely that many of them have considered sex to ease that aching back. Dr. Michel Rice DC MD aims to change that. In Sexy Back, Rice presents an irreverent, often side-splitting regimen for laying back pain to rest while getting laid. 
    Rest assured—there's no hype here, just a clear explanation of common causes of back pain and a workable program for relief. Remedies involve secret tricks to instantly look and feel sexier, sexercises for your back and core and, while the tone is light and the exercises have cheerily suggestive names, the science behind them is sound and fully explained. 
    Sexy Back is a hands-on list of activities for better back health and pain-free sex. As a Sexy Back reader, you can also consult with Dr. Rice and his Sexy Back training team, receive a signed copy of Sexy Back with a personalized prescription to help you heal back pain (yours or someone else's), and receive a special price on the upcoming online sexercise video streaming program. Join the Sexy Back Club to share your personal challenges and gains on a private or community level. 
    Dr. Michel Rice treated over 15,000 back pain patients before becoming a director of Better Call Doc Clinic and the Ontario Research Medical Group. His focus on the intersection of sex and chronic back pain came to Rice from unsolicited pronouncements from dozens of single lady patients.  
    Alas, their renewed spinal health was the result of their lucky break of having a one-night stand. Nine years later came the birth of a sexy rehab program called Sexy Back.Book details
