Gardens That Can Save the World


An exploration of the many ways in which green spaces can be the solution to some of our most pressing problems, from loneliness to climate change. Gardens and green spaces are at the vanguard of positive change. They are modern-day crucibles for ideas and innovation that are providing solutions to some of our most persistent problems, whether loneliness or illness, flooding or drought. Around the world, green-fingered thinkers and pioneering plants-people are harnessing the power of the wild to quietly find small-scale strategies to reverse these ills. It’s no longer just about aesthetics, but about what the great outdoors can do – save water, transform mental health, bridge social divides, educate vulnerable children, reimagine polluting industries and provide much reason for optimism in a rapidly changing world. Celebrating both the garden and gardener as integral players in a healthier future this book presents a series of strategies that will help the reader reevaluate the potential that lies in green spaces near them by looking at how they have been applied in gardens around the world. Sixty-five projects demonstrate how gardens can repair, heal, empower, nourish and reimagine, whilst an easy-to-read coloured code links each project to others in the book that solve a similar problem, whether soil health, education or pollution. Profiles of ten Green Thinkers dotted throughout delve more deeply into the inspiring work that these pioneers are leading. A glossary of plants, materials and techniques at the back of book encourages readers to apply the lessons learnt in their own garden, be that a windowsill or an acre.

Appalachian Plants


Richly illustrated and easily accessible, Appalachian Plants draws on centuries of botanical, cultural, and spiritual connections to the land as it invites readers of all ages into the vibrant world of southern Appalachia. Featuring regional staples such as ramps, tobacco, pawpaw, mountain mint, and white pine alongside more recent horticultural additions like rhubarb, persimmons, and sugar maples, the book presents a layered portrait of Appalachian flora. While author Linda Hager Pack provides scientific names and physical characteristics of each plant, her work goes beyond botany as each entry is enlivened with Native American legends, traditional folk remedies, historic recipes, and Appalachian lore that reveal the deeply rooted significance of plants in this storied region. The book honors the long history of plant use among the Cherokee and other Native American peoples of Appalachia, who developed sophisticated systems of herbal medicine, seasonal harvesting, and spiritual practices. From white pine salves to pawpaw fruit tonics, their knowledge shaped generations of land stewardship and ecological understanding. Additionally, European settlers brought seeds, farming practices, and folk beliefs from their home countries as well, adapting Old World crops and customs to mountain life. Meanwhile, African American enslaved people, servants, and free men and women also contributed a wealth of agricultural knowledge and medicinal plant traditions, immeasurably influencing the evolution of Appalachian foodways and herbal practices. This blending of traditions created a rich ethnobotanical legacy, one rooted in survival, community, and respect for the natural world. Featuring beautiful watercolor illustrations by Pat Banks and supported by instructional resources, this book serves both as a unique field guide and a cultural history of Appalachia. It invites readers to explore not just the uses of plants, but the stories they carry—across generations, geographies, and peoples—within the living landscape of Appalachia.

The Oak and The Larch


‘A towering achievement’ MERVE EMRE NYT Best New Books of 2026 A majestic cultural and environmental history that reveals how forests have made – and resisted – Russia’s many empires. From the Baltic to the Pacific, from the Arctic to the Steppes of Central Asia, Russia’s forests account for nearly one-fifth of the world’s wooded lands. The Oak and the Larch is the first-ever English-language exploration of this vast expanse – a dazzling environmental history of Russia that offers an urgent new understanding of the nature of Russian power, and of Russia’s ideas of itself. Inspired by the majestic oak, which towers over the country’s western heartland, and the hardy Siberian larch, an emblem of survival in the east, award winning scholar Sophie Pinkham’s magisterial account spans centuries, revealing how forests have nourished ancient Siberian Indigenous societies, defended medieval Slavic settlements from Mongol invasion and served as both an essential natural resource and a potent cultural symbol for Russia in all its incarnations, from the days of the tsars to the Soviets to Putin’s Federation. By examining the country from the forest’s perspective, Pinkham pushes far beyond the contemporary political environment in Russia. She draws on literature, history and art to connect the expanse of the Russian wilderness and the nature of Russian culture, with indelible portraits of the diverse figures who have inhabited and celebrated these forests: the legendary Indigenous guide Dersu Uzala, giants of literature like Tolstoy and Chekhov, political thinkers like Kropotkin and even Stalin. She confronts the forest’s role in Russia’s long history of imperial conquest, and in resistance to this conquest. Gorgeously written and surprising at every turn, The Oak and the Larch offers a vision of Russia rarely seen in the West, as a land defined by its wilderness, shaped by its encounters with the frontier, and – much like our own – ultimately beholden to nature’s whim.

Kertészet kézikönyve


A kertészet olyan foglalkozás, amely kellő szakértelemmel és szorgalommal gyakorolva nemcsak anyagi hasznot hajt, de egyszersmind sok gyönyörűséget is okoz a vele foglalkozóknak. Ezen kívül pedig egészségi tekintetben is igen nagy jelentőséggel bír, mert akárhány olyan esetet lehetne itt felsorolni, amidőn egyes betegségeknél, mint pl. a hisztéria, neuraszténia s az idegbetegség más nemeiben szenvedők nemcsak megkönnyebbülést, hanem gyakran teljes gyógyulást is elértek a kertészet különböző ágainak odaadó művelése folytán. Azt is mindnyájan tudjuk, hogy az ülő foglalkozást folytató emberekre mennyire felélénkítő hatással bír úgy testileg, mint a kedélyre nézve, ha a romlott, nehéz levegőjű, füsttel telt irodából vagy munkateremből kiszakadva a szabad levegőn bármely, testi erőt igénylő munkát végezhetnek. Azt hiszem tehát, hogy az ilyen emberek közül mindenkit érdekelni fog annak rövid leírása, hogy miként tehetjük magunkat úgy a konyhakerti, mint a gyümölcsös és virágoskertben való munkálkodásunk által saját magunkra és másokra nézve hasznosakká. - írja előszavában maga a szerző. A könyv az 1912-ben megjelent mű reprint változata.

Atlas chorôb a škodcov zeleniny, 4. vydanie


Atlas je určený predovšetkým záhradkárom na ľahké a rýchle určovanie chorôb a škodcov zeleniny pomocou farebných fotografií (450). Novinkou tohto vydania je obrazový prehľad burín, s ktorými sa v našich záhradách stretávame. Fotografie škodlivých činiteľov sú doplnené stručnými informáciami o pôvodcoch poškodení, ako aj o možnostiach ich biologického alebo chemického ničenia. Obrazová časť atlasu môže záhradkárom slúžiť dlhé roky, ale pri neskoršom používaní prehľadu chemickej ochrany zeleniny treba zohľadniť zmeny v zozname chemických prípravkov, ku ktorým každý rok dochádza. Preto ako vhodný doplnok atlasu v budúcich rokoch odporúčame používať každoročne vychádzajúcu Celoročnú ochranu záhradných plodín. V nej sú zohľadnené všetky zmeny v registrácii prípravkov, ku ktorým došlo v predchádzajúcom roku.

Have a Good Trip


From a much-loved expert and popular science writer comes this straight-from-the-trenches report on how and why folks from all walks of life are using magic mushrooms to enhance their lives.Interest in psychedelic mushrooms has never been greater ? or the science less definitive. Popular science writer and amateur mycologist Eugenia Bone reports on the state of psychedelics today, from microdosing to heroic trips, illustrating how ?citizen science? and anecdotal accounts of the mushrooms? benefits are leading the new wave of scientific inquiry into psilocybin. With her signature blend of first-person narrative and scientific rigor, Bone breaks down just how the complicated cocktail of psychoactive compounds is thought to interact with our brain chemistry. She explains how mindset and setting can impact a trip ? whether therapeutic, spiritual/mystical, or simply pleasure seeking ? and vividly evokes the personalities and protocols that populate the tripping scene, from the renegade ??Noccers? of Washington who merrily disperse magic mushroom spores around Seattle, to the indigenous curanderas who conduct traditional ceremonies in remote Mexican villages. Throughout she shares her journey through the world of mushrooms, cultivating her own stash, grappling with personal challenges, and offering the insights she gleaned from her experiences. For both seasoned trippers and the merely mushroom curious, Have a Good Trip offers a balanced, entertaining, and provocative look at this rapidly evolving cultural phenomenon.
