Sinopsis

"Soil Health Techniques" offers a comprehensive exploration of soil management fundamentals, presenting both scientific principles and practical applications for anyone involved in agriculture or gardening. The book uniquely bridges the gap between complex soil science and everyday land management through its three-pillar approach: diagnostic testing, amendment strategies, and cover crop implementation. By connecting these elements, readers gain a complete understanding of how to assess and improve their soil's health using accessible methods and locally available resources.

 
The book progresses logically from basic soil testing concepts to advanced improvement strategies, making soil science approachable for both beginners and experienced growers. Readers learn essential skills like interpreting soil test results, understanding the crucial relationships between soil minerals, and implementing targeted solutions for specific deficiencies. The text particularly shines in its detailed coverage of soil amendments, ranging from traditional composting methods to innovative approaches like biochar and microbial inoculants, all while maintaining a practical focus on real-world application.

 
What sets this resource apart is its holistic approach to soil management, connecting individual practices to broader environmental benefits such as carbon sequestration and ecosystem health. Through detailed charts, case studies, and seasonal planning guides, the book demonstrates how improved soil management contributes to climate resilience while reducing dependence on synthetic inputs. This makes it an invaluable resource for market gardeners, small-scale farmers, and serious home gardeners seeking to become better stewards of their land through sustainable practices.

Thinking Small and Large: How...

Peter Forbes

The environmental crisis will not be solved by battery technology. We are looking for answers in the wrong places. 
 
Life began with the hydrogenation of CO2, and this is the process we must return to in order to heal the planet. Ground-breaking ongoing research into bacterial processes means our knowledge of bacterial processes is ever-expanding, and we can harness this new knowledge to develop a parallel carbon economy using engineered bacteria for fuel, food, and materials. This would enable rewilding on a vast scale, with the small land footprint of bacterial technologies solving the current conflict in land use between farming and fuel and materials production. 
 
In this fascinating and illuminating book, Peter Forbes shines a light on this crucial technology and offers a tantalising glimpse at what is possible. To solve the big problems, sometimes you have to think small.

Birdland: A Journey Around...

John Gower

A joyous celebration of Britain’s rich bird life
In Birdland, journalist and lifelong birder Jon Gower explores our intimate connection with the bird life around us. From the symphonic song of the wren to the clack of a puffin’s beak and from epic migrations to sunset murmurations, birds are commonplace miracles. No wonder they have inspired our artists, writers and songwriters. Whether rare or abundant, Jon Gower visits some of the best places in Britain to watch birds, searching for some species he has always wanted to see such as wryneck, dotterel and barred warbler.
But all is not well in Birdland. Gower charts the many changes to Britain’s bird life over the last 50 years, as the countryside has seemingly emptied and in many ways fallen silent. He considers the effects of the climate emergency, the decline in biodiversity and warming oceans on birdlife and looks at work being done to mitigate these developments. But above all it is a celebration of birds and their being, and a call to arms to defend them. As Great Bustards return to our plains and eagles to our mountains, Jon Gower’s book examines the future from a bird’s-eye view.
Jon Gower's Birdland is a prize-winning exploration of nature and ecology, focusing on endangered bird species. As a top guide in birdwatching, his memoirs read like a biography of the birds he has encountered, making this non-fiction book a must-read for animal enthusiasts.
For fans of Daniel Start (Wild Guide Lake District and Yorkshire Dales), John Lewis-Stempel (England), Mark Rees (The Little Book of Welsh Landmarks), Alice Roberts (The Incredible Unlikeliness of Being), and Darren Chetty (How to Disagree).
