Finding Gold
A gripping tale of one man's escape from conformity to chase gold, claim freedom and redefine life on his own terms. "If anyone had ever told me how hard it is to find gold, would I have listened? I hope not. This is my story."'An uplifting book full of joyful nuggets of wisdom from a true adventurer!'- Dr Hermione Cockburn OBE, BBC TV Coast presenter and science communicator'Lyrical, magical, philosophical and inspirational' - James Ogilvie, Chair, Walking Scotland, Woodland Trust Director, Chartered Forester'This is more than a story of gold. It is a reflection of a way of life.'- Sanjay Singh , President of the World Goldpanning AssociationVincent's quest is a reminder never to give up on the most improbable dream: that is where you will find true riches.' - Annie Warburton, CEO & Clerk, The Goldsmiths' CompanyOn Friday I was middle management, employed and office-furnished. On Monday I was nobody, and it felt good. But I was not idle. I wasn't expecting to get rich, but if anyone had ever told me how hard it is to find gold, would I have listened? I hope not. I wanted to feel alive. I left the security of daily office attendance in favour of adventure, danger and chance, having decided life is too short. The reality of bills to pay reminded me I must succeed in my gold-panning mission, or my bank account would remain woefully empty, but there has not been a single minute of any day that I wished I was back at my old desk. My love affair with this enchanting and almost indestructible metal has taken me across the world, where I've rubbed shoulders with many wise and sometimes weary wanderers. From the mountains of Scotland to the rivers of Lapland, the mighty Yukon to sun-baked Australia and the sodden west coast of New Zealand, and finally, diving for treasure on the UK's richest shipwreck - I've never looked back.

What are their stories and secrets? How did people encounter birds over a thousand years ago? In The Cuckoo’s Lea, Michael J. Warren sets out on the trail of these ghosts. Captivated and guided by the secrets of place names, he finds their stories entangled with his own explorations of places through birds all across England. The past is hauntingly and movingly present on timeless marshes where curlews cry, where goshawks are breeding again for the first time in centuries, through silent cuckoo-woods lost under concrete sprawl, in the winter roosts of corvids and an owl village that vanished centuries ago. Weaving together early literature, history and ornithology, this book takes readers on a journey far into the past to contemplate the nature of place and to discover a fascinating heritage that matters deeply to us now when so many places and their birds are threatened or already gone.
