  Ask not what your chickens can do for you; ask what you can do for your chickens. 
  Gone are the days when chickens were merely egg-layers. Now more than ever they are rightly being seen as cherished pets, uncommon friends, and even spiritual companions! This humorous and insightful book is a hybrid between a memoir and ‘how to’ manual, a whimsical tour of discovery that reveals the magic of backyard chickens.  
  Who would expect chickens to have it all: family squabbles, abiding loyalty, the joys of new life, the heartbreak of loss? This book will challenge the old ideas of chickens as egg producers and introduce us to the vibrant social and spiritual life of chickens. Along the way, you’ll learn how to tend your own flock right in your backyard. You might even find yourself reflecting on your own relationships – with animals, with other people, and with yourself.   
  If you want to provide the best environment for your chickens, if you are game to grow as a person, and if you long to see more beauty in the world, this book is for you. But be warned, it may make you fall in love with chickens and become an unrepentant chicken enthusiast.

  Do note, the book focuses on the chicken experiences in Australia. While some solutions may vary depending on the climate, the principles are clear and applicable to all environments and chicken breeds.

  “Fire Season both evokes and honors the great hermit celebrants of nature, from Dillard to Kerouac to Thoreau—and I loved it.” 
  —J.R. Moehringer, author of The Tender Bar“[Connors’s] adventures in radical solitude make for profoundly absorbing, restorative reading.” 
  —Walter Kirn, author of Up in the AirPhillip Connors is a major new voice in American nonfiction, and his remarkable debut, Fire Season, is destined to become a modern classic. An absorbing chronicle of the days and nights of one of the last fire lookouts in the American West, Fire Season is a marvel of a book, as rugged and soulful as Matthew Crawford’s bestselling Shop Class as Soulcraft, and it immediately places Connors in the august company of Edward Abbey, Annie Dillard, Aldo Leopold, Barry Lopez, and others in the respected fraternity of hard-boiled nature writers.

  The Other Side Of Airfix - Sixty...

  Airfix is synonymous with plastic model kits. The brand name has virtually become a noun, occupying a special place in that lexicon of trade names alongside Hoover, Sellotape, Perspex and Aqua-Lung.Throughout the war years Airfix survived on government contracts for a whole range of plastic items and by virtue of Kove's tenancious apetitie for business and doing a deal. By the war's end Airfix was the market leader in plastic injection moulded combs in Britain. By the time Airfix had released its first proper construction kit, a tiny model of Drake's flagship Golden Hind, in 1952, the firm was well established as a leading toy brand. Indeed throughout the 1950s, 60s and 70s Airfix invested heavily in developing new toys or manufacturing them under license for large US toy companies such as Hasbro. Very soon Airfix extended its activities beyond toys into games and arts and crafts and in short time famous names.Indeed so successful was Airfix at diversifying that by the 1970s the company had grown to such an extent that it had acquired other famous toy brands including Dinky Toys, Tri-ang, Meccano, and Romper Room. With its subsidiary Crayonne Airfix even harnessed the design talents of the then Terence Conranne in attempt to elevate plastic products to the rarified atmosphere of designer chic.So there's a lot more to Airfix than many might think and this book is the first attempt to document the myriad successful lines, outside of plastic kits, which contributed to the company's dramatic growth before a combination of factors forced it into brief liquidation in 1981. Written by someone with a lifetime's fascination for Airfix and who has written other books about the better known construction kit side of the business, The Other Airfix is a nostalgic trip down memory lane.

  A reference for decoding what those mysterious ingredients are—and how they may affect you: “The definitive guide for the health-conscious shopper.” —Robert H. Lerman, MD, PhD 
   
  Here’s a tongue twister: Say cochineal extract, diacetyl, tertiary butylhydroquinone, BHA, HFCS, and MSG. It's not just knowing how to pronounce what’s in your food that’s important, it's knowing what it does and how it can affect you.
