GROW CALM. GROW CURIOUS. GROW JOY. Dig into 52 simple, seasonal projects to bring a little more green – and a healthy hit of dopamine (your ‘feel-good hormone’) – to everyday life. Whether you have a garden, balcony, or windowsill – reconnect with nature, and watch your happiness grow… Science shows that getting your hands in the soil really can make you happier, while fresh air, sunshine, and gentle movement can all help improve mental health.With an inspiring and crafty new project for every weekend – from growing calming chamomile from a teabag and edible mushrooms on used coffee grounds, to harvesting your own mood-boosting tea blends and crafting compostable bird feeders – the projects are low-cost, sustainable, and designed to suit any space. Whether you’re an experienced gardener or a curious beginner, this book encourages you to slow down and find focus and joy in completing creative, satisfying tasks working with plants.Refreshingly different and eminently achievable – discover the joy of gardening and create your own homegrown happiness.

In this book, the authors show that the failure of public health arises, not from a failure of contemporary medicine, but from a failure of the philosophical assumptions upon which it rests. By exposing the limits of this philosophical framework, the authors suggest an alternative approach to health care, one that derives from a profoundly ecological and holistic philosophy of nature. They conclude that the advancement of community health depends on a comprehensive program of health education in which the responsibility for health is inextricably knit with a new consciousness of ecological stewardship. The authors postulate a holistic epistemology in which knowing is directed towards participation with nature rather than separation from it.

Be inspired by one of the world's most important and influential campaigners! Discover the story of Greta, from her decision to skip school in favour of her one-person strike outside Swedish parliament, to her current role as a spearhead of an international movement. Follow her carbon-free journey across the world, where she met world leaders, addressed the UN and called out trolls. As well as this, understand her perspective on difference, such as her Asperger's being a superpower. This book not only shows her rise and outlines her campaigning agenda but also explains in clear detail what climate change is, the damage that is happening and what we need to do to ensure the planet is habitable and sustainable for future generations. Understand the science behind the climate crisis and our responsibility to the planet - a responsibility that has been largely neglected by previous generations. This is the perfect book for aspiring climate activists age 8+.
