  Cities define the lives of all those who call them home: where we go, how we get there, how we spend our time. But what if we rethink the ways we plan, live in, and move around our cities? What if we didn't need a car to reach the grocery store? What if we could get back the time we would have spent commuting and put it to other uses? 
   
   
   
  In this fascinating, carefully researched and reported book, longtime Financial Times journalist Natalie Whittle investigates the 15-minute city idea—its pros, cons, and its potential to revolutionize modern living. 
   
   
   
  From Paris, Melbourne, and Rotterdam to Charlotte, North Carolina, and Tempe, Arizona, cities worldwide are being guided by the 15-minute city's ideals—with varying results. By looking at these examples, Whittle considers: 
   
   
   
  ● what really happens when a city expands bike lanes and pedestrian areas—and disincentivizes long commutes 
   
   
   
  ● which approaches to building affordable housing are actually effective 
   
   
   
  ● how neighborhoods of varying wealth are affected by 15-minute city policies 
   
   
   
  This timely book serves as a call to reflect on our cities and neighborhoods—and it outfits us with insights on how to make them more sustainable, safe, and welcoming.

  In a time where the world seems more lost and confused, it’s important that we see clearly through the veils of the illusion to the Truth of God’s Love. 
    
  Inspiring words can sometimes be a catalyst to the opening of our Heart as we seek the ‘safe place’ externally. But it’s in the KNOWING that our Safe Place is within each of us and in our connection with God. We call this; The Christ Consciousness. 
    
  These song lyrics that I’ve written are filled with the Divine Mother’s nurturing and the Holy Father’s strength while I reach out for the Peace, Joy and Love of my return to the ultimate source of that love; to finally be Home with God.

  Underneath the Archers -...

  'As hilarious, charming, eccentric, informative, addictive and delightful as the show itself' STEPHEN FRY
  Much-loved radio drama The Archers has been at the heart of British life for over seventy years, and the momentous events and changes of this time have all found a place in Ambridge. For more than three decades, scriptwriter Graham Harvey was the man behind the show's farming storylines, writing over 600 episodes and crafting some of its most memorable moments: the Great Flood, the trashing of Brian's GM crop, the loss of the Grundy family farm.
  In this book Graham interweaves personal memories of these moments with extracts from the scripts he created, offering behind-the-scenes details of how key characters and plotlines were developed, keeping pace with the real changes taking place in village and farm life. He also explores the part the show played in setting Britain on its disastrous transition from small-scale, sustainable farming to industrial agriculture. Could it now help guide the nation back to the nature-friendly, planet-saving methods we so desperately need?
  Underneath the Archers relates a personal drama, too: how Graham uncovered his father's dark, wartime secret, the trauma which was to blight their family life. The insecurities of his youth gave Graham a deep attachment to the fictional community he was creating. The reassurance he found was in a love for England: its land, its soil, its farming culture – a love that found its perfect expression in the world of Ambridge and its inhabitants.
