    A personal view of 'the world's happiest country' from an accidental expat in Finland
    Tim Bird arrived in Finland by accident in the early Eighties. More than forty years on, he is still there. He has watched the transformation of his adopted homeland from semi-detached member of the Soviet bloc to modern European nation that tops the rankings, year after year, as 'the happiest country in the world'.
    Does it deserve that status? Do the Finns, known for their hard drinking, their sisu (grit) and their passion for heavy metal, recognise that description of themselves? Telling the story of his own path to Finnish citizenship while also delving into the writings of a 19th-century British traveller, Bird interrogates the claim made on Finland's behalf.
    In this clear-sighted – but never cynical – sideways look at the land of the sauna, the Northern Lights and the Moomins, Bird spotlights the Nordic nation's distinctive culture, landscape and language. As he helps us understand the Finnish notion of contentment, are there life-lessons for the rest of us?

    It began with an advertisement in The Times: 'Leaving England June, to explore rivers Central Brazil, if possible ascertain fate Colonel Fawcett; abundance game, big and small; exceptional fishing; room two more guns.' Colonel Fawcett and his son Jack had embarked on a journey in 1925 in search of a supposed lost city in the Amazon and were never seen again. This expedition was too much of a temptation for Peter Fleming, a young journalist with energy and an appetite for adventure. The journey, which begins in a
    reckless spirit of can-do frivolity, slowly darkens into something very personal and deeply testing 'for which Rider Haggard might have written the plot and Conrad designed the scenery.' Fleming recounts it in brilliant prose, leavening the danger with humour and honesty.

    English/Canadian indie musician Tamara Williamson offers an unbridled account of a life in the world of horses. 
    From her first clever little bay pony, Stroller, to brilliant ribbon-winning Fletcher, Tamara Williamson recalls the many significant horses in her life, grappling with what it means to be horse-obsessed and what drives this desire to connect with horses. As Williamson discovers, during the tumultuous years of relationships with people and horses, these complicated equine creatures reflect back to us our best and worst selves. 
    Woven throughout the stories of individual horses in Williamson’s life is her own story of a creative, chaotic, challenging and adventurous life. Raised by an eccentric family, with a distant mother who disappeared into alcoholism and a charismatic father who left one sunny morning with a younger woman, Williamson struggles with dyslexia and a sense of increasing detachment. Horses, and the exacting sport of dressage, provide her with opportunities to connect, sometimes imperfectly. Her drive for accomplishment in equestrian sports, whether as a trainer or a rider, is regularly at odds with the fear that lingers from a traumatic childhood riding accident. 
    While reckoning with the financial and psychological expense of training and competition, and with the multitude of industries that benefit from horses, Williamson never loses sight of the enormous burden of responsibility she feels toward horses and the respect she has for their individual characters, memories and instincts. On the surface, The Mirror Horse is a book about horses—but beyond the bridles and braided manes, Williamson crafts a complex story about courage, family, and the unexpected places where we find a reflection of our souls: As a rider you can confuse yourself with being the teacher, but horses are constantly showing us something important. They are holding up a mirror.

    The Vertical Oasis: Mastering Organic Vertical Farming in an Urban Setting 
    This book is designed as a comprehensive guide to the intricacies, opportunities, and challenges of vertical farming, specifically within the confines of an urban landscape. Whether you're an urban farmer seeking sustainable ways to cultivate food or have a keen interest in agriculture technology, this book offers insightful and practical information to help you understand and master the techniques of organic vertical farming. 
    We live in an era where rapid urbanization and environmental concerns are at the forefront of global discussions. By 2050, it's estimated that nearly 70% of the global population will live in urban areas. Concurrently, we face the pressures of climate change and finite resources, which significantly affect conventional agriculture. The search for a sustainable, efficient, and city-friendly farming method has led us to the promising realm of vertical farming. 
    Challenges and Mastery 
    However, while vertical farming brings exciting possibilities, it also comes with its own set of challenges and complexities. The mastery of vertical farming requires understanding not just traditional horticulture, but also systems design, climate control, lighting technologies, nutrient management, and more. Moreover, the organic approach demands a careful balance of these elements to avoid the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. That’s where this book comes in. 
    Inspiration and Call to Action 
    In the spirit of promoting sustainable and local food systems, we encourage you to step into this world, armed with curiosity and fortified with knowledge. The ensuing pages hope to inspire and empower you to pioneer new frontiers in sustainable urban living.
