Nicola Harding
Having moved around a lot as a child, Harding has always been interested in creating homes that evoke a sense of belonging. After designing several homes for herself, what began as a passion grew organically into a thriving career. Today Harding is known for her quintessentially British, reassuringly familiar interiors that mix traditional charm with rich atmosphere. A sense of meaning comes from deftly weaving together expertly sourced antiques and luxurious fabrics, married with craftsmanship that has a particular significance for example, a supplier who works in a village near where a client grew up, or antiques from local dealers. With a calming, nature-inspired palette, Harding s residential projects embrace English country-house coziness and radiate a warmth that makes each place feel personal and well lived in, while her hospitality commissions are bold and spirited, often inspired by literary or historic characters. This first book delves into Harding s design philosophy, which, at its heart, prioritizes human experience above all else.

To Hear The Trees Speak
'A poetically-written testimony of our own deep relationship with the natural world, and of nature’s own resilience' Ben GoldsmithImagine if you could hear the trees speak. How would it change your life? Your relationship to the world around you? This is the story of what happened when the trees whispered me to quit my job, leave my life in New York and go on a journey to listen. It is the story of what I learnt from ten trees on five continents – and the lessons that the trees have for all of us on how to be in a rapidly changing world. Olivia Sprinkel was sitting in her office in New York, an experienced international sustainability strategy and communications consultant, and as a newly single woman, she decided she had to make a change in her life and undertake a journey. To Hear the Trees Speak: Adventures in Listening is the story of her travels to Europe, North and South America, Australia, and South Asia, to discover ten of our world’s essential trees and their habitats. The ten trees range from the banyan and bodhi to the olive, giant sequoia and beech. Powerfully crafted, this is important and accessible nature writing blended with insightful memoir.

Nature's Apothecary
Herbs have been used for centuries to cure all manner of ailments. In the Middle Ages, before the advent of affordable healthcare, monastery gardens were used to cultivate plants to treat both the monks’ own house and the surrounding secular community. Information about the medicinal properties of plants was gathered into books known as herbals, which gained a much-increased audience with the advent of printing. This beautiful book features 100 plants showing how herbs, as well as flowers, fruit and vegetables, have been used medicinally. Drawn from the writings of a range of herbalists, particularly John Gerard and Nicholas Culpeper, the text is accompanied by exquisite illustrations from the renowned Herball by Gerard, first published in 1597. Together with recipes from household books, these selections give a fascinating history of nature’s role in both formal and folk medicine.
The Sound of Many Waters
Join Robin Crawford on a personal journey from the source of the River Tay to the sea. With the widest catchment area of any river in Britain, the Tay drains much of the lower Highlands of Scotland. A vast network of lochs and smaller bodies of water feed the Isla, Garry, Tummel, Almond and Earn, which all flow into this mighty river. As Robin Crawford walks along the banks of the Tay, we delve into the history of this landscape and his personal connection with it, from hill walks with friends into the mountains of the Tay’s source to his student days in Dundee, where the Tay eventually spills out into the North Sea. Along the route we dip into the river’s story: the gold-panners on the river Cononish, the Earthquake House outside Comrie, Beatrix Potter’s holiday home near Dunkeld. Throughout, the river is our constant companion, connecting the small moments on which events turn and lives are changed forever.
Liquid Faith
Since time immemorial, water has been a major theme in myth, religion and folklore throughout the world. With its 12,000-mile coastline, as well as a plethora of rivers and lochs, Scotland is a particularly rewarding place in which to explore the spiritual dimensions of what is both the most commonplace and yet the most mysterious of all chemical compounds. This is a journey from healing wells, springs, river sources and bogs to the seashore, islands and whirlpools, to discover the legends, superstitions and rituals that have grown up around them. Drawing on spirituality, philosophy and faith as well as history and tradition, Ian Bradley highlights the crucial importance of water over thousands of years, and emphasises its preciousness and vulnerability today and in the future. 'Bradley has a gift for wresting the most joyous morsels from his sources' – The Sunday Telegraph

The British Rail High Speed Train
After fifty years of service the lives of the HST 125s are now drawing to a close. Some remain to remind us of the extraordinary impact these trains had on British Rail’s operations over so many decades, but their number is dwindling fast. A long goodbye, but a goodbye nonetheless. With their days numbered, now would seem to be the time to consider the achievement of the design engineers who created them and the service they rendered across Britain’s rail network, aided by so many others. It is a story that might never have been told if BR’s plans for its Advanced Passenger Train had reached fruition more quickly. But delay upon delay meant that there was pressing need for a fast modern passenger less technically advanced substitute to fill the gap. The 125s were the result and very quickly they showed what they could do, and would continue to do wherever BR, or the privatised companies that followed in the 1990s, operated them. This book pays homage to these exceptional trains and all those who were involved in their design, construction and day to day operation.

Jak přes lákadla a odměny naučit psa významu vašich slov
„Výchozí myšlenka téhle knihy je prostá: je nejvyšší čas, abychom si plně uvědomili obrovskou hodnotu výchovy psů založené na lákadlech a odměnách, která je šetrná vůči psům i vůči lidem, rychlá a snadná, zábavná a plná her, probíhá bez vodítka a opírá se o výsledky. Tyhle techniky jsem utvářel a upravoval během uplynulých padesáti let. Trénink lákadlo-odměna je nejsnadnější, nejrychlejší a nejúčinnější způsob, jak naučit psa význam vašich slov, a tak otevřít komunikační kanály, které vám podstatně usnadní vštěpování základů způsobného chování, prevenci nebo řešení problémů s chováním a výchovou a postupně zformují povahu a osobnost vašeho psa.“ Dr. Ian Dunbar
Veterinář a behaviorista Dr. Ian Dunbar v roce 1982 vytvořil metodu SIRIUS® Puppy Training, která znamenala revoluci v trénování štěňat a psů. Jeho jedinečný způsob tréninku bez vodítka metodou lákadlo-odměna nabídl alternativu ke škubání za vodítko, alfa převalení, výcvikovým obojkům a jiným averzivním prostředkům. Koncepty a metody Dr. Dunbara ovlivnily snad všechny trenéry psů po celém světě.
Největší výhody metody lákadlo-odměna:
- Snadno a rychle naučíme psa rozumět významu našich slovních povelů, aby věděl, kdy a kde se venčit, co okusovat, kdy a jak dlouho štěkat, kdy a jak vhodně „vypouštět páru“ a spoustu dalších věcí.
- Průběžně můžeme testovat, zda a jak moc dobře nám rozumí.
- Naučíme se používat co nejvíc odměn ze života, jako jsou procházky nebo hry s jinými psy.
- Hrajeme se psem hry, které u něj rozvíjejí sebemotivaci. - Nevhodné chování a neposlušnost řešíme pomocí účinných neaverzivních technik
