  Feral Borough

  Set in the urban pastoral of an East London postcode, Feral Borough asks what it means to call a place home, and how best to share that home with its non-human inhabitants. Meryl Pugh reimagines the wild as 'feral', recording the fauna and flora of Leytonstone in prose as incisive as it is lyrical. Here, on the edge of the city, red kite and parakeets thrive alongside bluebell and yarrow, a muntjac deer is glimpsed in the undergrowth, and an escaped boa constrictor appears on the High Road. In this subtle, captivating book – part herbarium, part bestiary and part memoir – Pugh explores the effects of loss, and lockdown, on human well-being, conjuring the local urban environment as a site for healing and connection.
  'A subtle, heartfelt and affecting book about home, the city and the self -- Pugh reminds us that nowhere, however urban, is without nature; that wherever we go, the intricate web of life continues to shape and change us.' Rebecca Tamás

  Within a ten-month period, Neil Peart lost both his 19-year-old daughter, Selena, and his wife, Jackie. Faced with overwhelming sadness and isolated from the world in his home on the lake, Peart was left without direction. This memoir tells of the sense of personal devastation that led him on a 55,000-mile journey by motorcycle across much of North America, down through Mexico to Belize, and back again. 
  Peart’s journey of self-exile and exploration chronicle his personal odyssey and include stories of reuniting with friends and family, grieving, and reminiscing. He recorded with dazzling artistry, the enormous range of his travel adventures, from the mountains to the seas, from the deserts to the Arctic ice, and the memorable people who contributed to his healing. 
  Ghost Rider is a brilliantly written, and ultimately triumphant narrative memoir from a gifted writer and the drummer and lyricist of the legendary rock band Rush.

  Olmec Civilization - The First...

  The Olmec civilization, often regarded as the "Mother Culture" of Mesoamerica, emerged around 1200 BCE in the tropical lowlands of present-day southern Mexico, specifically in the Gulf Coast region. This area, rich in natural resources, served as the cradle for one of the earliest and most influential cultures in the Americas. The Olmec are best known for their monumental stone heads, intricate artwork, and the development of many foundational aspects of Mesoamerican civilization. 
  The origins of the Olmec civilization can be traced back to a combination of environmental factors, agricultural innovations, and the development of social structures. The region’s fertile lands provided an abundant supply of food, particularly maize, which became the cornerstone of Olmec agriculture. The availability of other crops, such as beans, squash, and cassava, further supported the growth of a settled society. The Olmec were skilled farmers, and their ability to adapt to the challenging conditions of the tropical lowlands allowed them to create surplus food, leading to population growth and the emergence of more complex social and political systems. 
  One of the defining features of the Olmec civilization was the rise of their urban centers, most notably San Lorenzo, La Venta, and Tres Zapotes. These cities became hubs of political and religious activity, with powerful rulers who controlled vast territories. The creation of these urban centers marked a shift from small, scattered villages to larger, more centralized societies. The Olmec rulers established authority through both political power and religious influence, often associating themselves with divine figures and acting as intermediaries between the gods and the people. This centralization of power allowed for the coordination of large-scale construction projects, such as the creation of the colossal stone heads and other monumental sculptures.

  Almost everyone has fond memories of being with animals when they were young, it is what makes people try to reproduce the situation either for themselves or their children, but what most people forget, is that their parents trained those animals, they did not just come like that. 
  There is no such thing as a perfect pet, perfect dog, perfect human or perfect anything. There is as good as you`re going to get, as best as you can make it and what best suits you. 
  Dogs of a certain breed may share some behavioural characteristics. For example, most Labradors enjoy swimming and love to fetch a ball or a stick, because retrieving fallen game is what they were designed to do. There are exceptions to every rule, but knowing a breed`s designed behavioural (as well as physical) characteristics will help you to decide on a dog that will likely be a good fit for you and your lifestyle. 
  The more research you do before you go to choose your dog, the more likely you are to get the best dog for you and / or your family or environment. 
  You are taking the right first step now by considering this book.

  Menopausal Ladies! Frustrated that your man doesn't understand you as you go through this uncomfortable stage in your hormonal journey? Allow some "lightening-up" to bridge the divide and help you get your point across. So much better than stony silences that the gentleman just can't understand, may misinterpret as companionable silence, or at worst, not even notice. An essential guide for you to leave "lying around" for your significant other to find (if your tidiness OCD allows). It may obviate the need for much nagging, misunderstanding and shrewish behaviour. It may not. But then at least you have tried, and things are explained and justified. We hope. There must always be hope. Gentlemen! Not sure how to weave your way through the menopausal minefield? Let us inject some humour here and provide you with a safe (or safer) pathway. Please be assured that you are not alone, but indeed are one amongst many. Your sufferings are recognised and acknowledged. As is the unfairness of it all. Help is out there, starting with this book.
