  Soil is not a dirty word - A...

  What you feed the soil, you 
  feed yourself! 
  In his riveting new book, Soil is Not A Dirty Word, Craig Castree shares 
  urgent insights into the symbiotic relationships between plants and the 
  microscopic worlds of bacteria and fungi that sustain them. This book will 
  transform the way you see the ground beneath your feet. 
  During his three-year dive down the rabbit hole to discover the shocking 
  truths hidden in soil, Castree discovered that our understanding of soil has 
  been fundamentally flawed for over 80 years. 
  While soil might not be the typical topic of conversation, it’s time it became 
  a priority. Modern agricultural practices promised increased productivity 
  but have instead led to diminishing returns. Our topsoil—the thin layer 
  that nourishes the planet—erodes at an alarming rate, and autoimmune 
  diseases rise as the soil microbiome becomes more disconnected from 
  plant and human microbiomes. 
  Soil is Not A Dirty Word goes beyond just sounding the alarm, it offers a 
  solution after solution to the problems most of us never knew we had with 
  soil. With a regenerative approach that revitalises the soil, reduces reliance 
  on chemical inputs, and restores its nutrient density, Castree’s strategies 
  promise to revolutionise edible gardening, farming, and growing food plants. 
  This isn’t just a manual for gardeners and farmers—this is a call to action for 
  anyone concerned about our planet’s future, our health, and the legacy we 
  leave for generations to come.

  For any sailor, in a yacht or motorboat, the passage from one place to another is relatively easy, particularly with modern navigation equipment. What can be more of a challenge (and a potential source of anxiety for skipper and crew) is the start and end of a passage – how to leave and arrive safely, particularly if it's a cramped marina or crowded anchorage. In Illustrated Seamanship, Ivar Dedekam takes you through the techniques required to achieve a safe departure and arrival. Starting with the fundamentals of ropework he then moves on to manoeuvring, berthing, making fast and then leaving. All types of berthing are covered from coming alongside, stern to, bow to, between finger pontoons and using piles and buoys. There is advice about dealing with different wind and current directions as well as using springs. Ivar then turns to anchoring and offers guidance on setting and weighing anchor in many different circumstances: under sail and under power, using one or two anchors and coping with changes in wind and tide while anchored. You probably won't experience all the scenarios that Ivar so carefully describes, but you will certainly come across quite a few. Knowing what to do when a new situation comes up could be invaluable, increasing your confidence and leading to greater enjoyment and use of your boat. With over 500 diagrams, this slim volume is a perfect reminder of frequently used techniques and could be your get-out-of-jail card when a new circumstance arises. This new edition has an improved layout and the eBook's functionality has been improved significantly.

  One Dog at a TimeBy Pen Farthing · Narrated by Kerry Hutchinson - with an introduction read by the author. 
   
  'Thick with rolls of gleaming, new wire, the obstacle was designed to prevent a suicide bomber driving into the compound’s thick mud walls. Today, however, it had only succeeded in stopping a small, white, terrified-looking dog. I knew that the Taliban could be hiding in any one of these buildings just waiting for one of us. But I knew I couldn’t just walk away.' 
  In a remote outpost of Now Zad, in Helmand Province, Pen Farthing’s tour of duty will change his life forever, but for entirely unexpected reasons...Appalled by the horrors of a local dog fight, he intervenes to free the victims. One of these dogs finds his way into the Marine compound - and into Pen’s heart. Soon other strays are being drawn to the sanctuary provided by Pen’s makeshift pound.But as his time in Helmand draws to an end, Pen cannot leave the dogs of Now Zad to their own fates. He begins hatching plans to help them escape to a better life.One Dog at a Time is the bestselling, unforgettably moving true story that launched a global animal rescue movement. From the front lines of Afghanistan to the founding of the Nowzad charity, Pen Farthing’s compassion and courage lit a spark that would save thousands of animals and change lives around the world.His work did not go unnoticed: Pen was named CNN Hero of the Year in 2014, and his critically acclaimed follow-up, Operation Ark, chronicled the high-stakes mission to evacuate animals from Kabul during the fall of Afghanistan. 
   Now available in audio for the first time, this edition features a heartfelt introduction read by Pen Farthing himself, offering a deeply personal insight into the story that changed his life. One Dog at a Time brings Pen’s powerful story to life in a whole new way. It is a testament to hope, bravery, and the unbreakable bond between humans and animals—even in the darkest of places.

  William Stanek's Grand Canyon -...

  Grand Canyon is not a place you finish. It is a place you enter.
  
  In William Stanek's Grand Canyon, the canyon becomes more than a series of overlooks and trailheads. It becomes a lived landscape of stone, river, light, weather, altitude, silence, descent, and return.
  
  The guide moves from the South Rim threshold through Hermit Road and Desert View, into the great descent corridors and the inner canyon, and across to the forests and overlooks of the North Rim. Along the way, it offers what ordinary guidebooks rarely do: not merely where to go, but how to see, how to pace a day, how to understand the cost of going down, and how to recognize when enough has become the wiser choice.
  
  For first-time visitors, returning travelers, photographers, walkers, couples, families, and anyone seeking a deeper canyon than maps and bullet points can provide.
  
  Part field guide, part companion, part invitation to attention, this is Grand Canyon for readers who want not only the facts of the place, but its feeling.
