Imagine that it lived under your roof and lolloped around your bedroom at night, drumming on the duvet cover when it wanted your attention. Imagine that, over two years later, it still ran in from the fields when you called it and snoozed in your house for hours on end.

The Garden Against Time is the No.1 Sunday Times bestseller from acclaimed writer Olivia Laing; a passionate, epic exploration of the power and possibilities of gardens.'What a wonderful book this is' – Nigel Slater‘A book for thinking gardeners everywhere’ – Mary KeenWhen Olivia Laing began to restore a walled garden in Suffolk, an overgrown Eden of unusual plants, the work drew them into an exhilarating investigation of paradise and its long association with gardens.Moving between the real and the imagined, from Milton’s Paradise Lost to a wartime sanctuary in Italy, to a grotesque aristocratic pleasure ground funded by slavery, Laing interrogates the sometimes shocking cost of making paradise on earth.But the story of the garden can also be a place of rebel outposts and communal dreams, from the improbable queer utopia conjured by Derek Jarman on the beach at Dungeness to the vision of a common Eden cultivated by William Morris. New modes of living can and have been attempted amidst the flower beds, experiments that could prove vital in the coming era of radical change.‘This book is what we need right now: paradise, regained’ – Philip Hoare‘Every generation gets one perfect book about gardens and this is ours’ – Julia Bell‘Prepare yourself to be enchanted’ – Jilly Cooper‘The most magical writing’ – Jeremy Lee‘I felt doubly alive after reading it’ – Celia Paul‘Quite literally unputdownable’ – Jinny Blom

Hela världen stormar. Global uppvärmning och väpnade konflikter, flyktingströmmar och ekonomisk oro - allt eskalerar när den industriella civilisationen gasar hela vägen in i kaklet, eldad av olja och dogmen om evig tillväxt. I sin förra bok, Kollaps, visade David Jonstad hur vår civilisation är på väg att gå samma öde till mötes som romarriket, mayaimperiet och resten av historiens fallna civilisationer.
I Jordad ställs frågan hur vi ska försörja oss när kriserna fördjupas och det globala maskineriet börjar falla isär. David Jonstad söker sig bakåt i historien och finner svaret under våra fötter. Han ser en framtid där marken, snarare än marknaden, är vad som tryggar vår försörjning. Där tillgången till ett stycke jord och förmågan att bruka den blir mer värdefullt än tillgången på pengar. Det vill säga, så som det har varit för de allra flesta som levt utanför världshistoriens fossila parentes.
David Jonstad vill inspirera till ett mer jordnära sätt att leva inom planetens gränser och utan att lägga beslag på andras resurser. Boken är också en personlig berättelse om vägen från ett stressat lönearbete i storstan till en friare tillvaro på landet.

Livet på gården : jordnära hästbruk

Skickas
Året runt på gården Några mil norr om Sunne i Värmland, bor Peter Nilsson med sin familj på en liten gård alldeles intill sjön Frykens strand. Han driver sitt jordbruk på traditionellt sätt och de tre ardennerhästarna har en central roll i deras liv. Alla maskiner och redskap är av traditionell typ och mycket av arbetet utförs med handkraft. Hästarna används istället för traktorn i så väl arbetet i skogen som när det gäller vårsådd, hökörning eller höstplöjning. Lennart Fröding har under flera års tid följt Peter och hans familj i livet på gården. Något som från början bara skulle bli några bilder, utvecklade sig till en riklig dokumentation av livet tillsammans med hästarna. Vi får följa arbetet i skogen såväl som på gärdena runt gården. Följa med under vårens sysslor, slåttern på sommaren och höstens skörd och potatis- upptagning. Följa familjens liv som för de flesta av oss är annorlunda. Följa livet där naturens villkor styr arbetets rytm. Men utvecklingen står inte stilla.
Lennart Fröding är född 1954. Arbetar till vardags som säljare men är en hängiven fotograf på fritiden. Han är uppvuxen på en lantgård utanför Karlstad, där arbetshästen var ett naturligt inslag i arbetet vid sidan av de övriga djuren på gården. Detta har lett till att han har en förkärlek till att skildra det traditionella lantbruket i bilder. Gärna där arbetshästen fortfarande har en framträdande roll. Han har haft ett par fotoutställningar om detta. Det här är hans första fotobok.

Brukshästen har inte spelat ut sin roll i vårt moderna samhälle tvärtom. Faktum är att det har tillkommit nya arbetsuppgifter för denna trotjänare. Hästen gör mindre åverkan, mindre markskador och är dessutom miljövänligare. I den här boken får vi följa ett antal aktiva brukshästkuskar i Halland, Skåne, Småland och Västergötland och vara med i jordbruk, skogsbruk, evenemangskörningar och andra sammanhang.
Några använder hästarna som ett komplement i jordbruket, medan andra helt förlitar sig på hästen. En av kuskarna har kört med hästar i andras skogar i 50 år och till största delen med griplastarvagn. Med fantastiska bilder fångar Nils Andersson det tysta samspelet mellan kusk och häst som oftast går via tömmarna.

När vi pratar om att människor kan bete sig fåraktigt utgår vi från att alla får beter sig likadant. Det stämmer inte med min erfarenhet. Vissa är tillgivna, andra benägna att stångas. Några är envist självständiga, andra söker hjälp från oss när de behöver det. Och vissa kan få uppdraget att leda hjorden hem. De är lika mycket individer som vi är.
Rosamund Young har drivit ett ekologiskt jordbruk i Costwolds i över fyrtio år. Här berättar hon om ett långt liv i djurens tjänst och delar med sig av anekdoter från det rika djurlivet på Kite s Nest Farm där fårens, kornas, hönsens och grisarnas personligheter får frodas och utvecklas fritt. Det är en berättelse om glädje, upptäckter, samarbete och ibland hjärtesorg. Vi får läsa om får som skäms över att bli gamla, intelligensen hos förment dumma höns, konversationer mellan kor och varför man aldrig ska skicka ett sms när man mjölkar ...
ROSAMUND YOUNG driver ett ekologiskt lantbruk med gårdsförsäljning i England. Hon har tidigare givit ut Kornas hemliga liv (2018) som blev en oväntad succé.

THE SUNDAY TIMES NATURE BOOK OF THE YEARThe new bestseller from the author of The Shepherd's Life'A beautifully written story of a family, a home and a changing landscape' Nigel Slater As a boy, James Rebanks's grandfather taught him to work the land the old way. Their family farm in the Lake District hills was part of an ancient agricultural landscape: a patchwork of crops and meadows, of pastures grazed with livestock, and hedgerows teeming with wildlife. And yet, by the time James inherited the farm, it was barely recognisable. The men and women had vanished from the fields; the old stone barns had crumbled; the skies had emptied of birds and their wind-blown song. English Pastoral is the story of an inheritance: one that affects us all. It tells of how rural landscapes around the world were brought close to collapse, and the age-old rhythms of work, weather, community and wild things were lost. And yet this elegy from the northern fells is also a song of hope: of how, guided by the past, one farmer began to salvage a tiny corner of England that was now his, doing his best to restore the life that had vanished and to leave a legacy for the future. This is a book about what it means to have love and pride in a place, and how, against all the odds, it may still be possible to build a new pastoral: not a utopia, but somewhere decent for us all.'A heartfelt book and one that dares to hope' Alan Bennett'A wonder of a book, fierce, tender, and beautiful' Helen MacdonaldWinner of the Wainwright PrizeWinner of the Fortnum & Mason Food Book of the YearShortlisted for the Orwell PrizeShortlisted for the Ondaatje Prize Longlisted for the Rathbones Folio Prize

Keep healthy, productive bees without chemicals, stress, or constant intervention. Master beekeeper reveals natural methods that work with bee biology instead of against it, producing more honey with less work while building stronger, disease-resistant colonies.Why Chemical-Free Beekeeping Works Better:Conventional beekeeping relies on treatments that weaken bee immunity and create dependency. This natural approach strengthens hives from within, resulting in healthier bees, better honey yields, and dramatically reduced colony losses.What You'll MasterNatural hive management - work with bee instincts rather than fighting them Chemical-free disease prevention - build immunity through nutrition and environmentStress-free seasonal care - minimal intervention techniques that bees prefer Honey harvesting ethics - take surplus while ensuring winter survivalProblem diagnosis - read bee behavior to prevent issues before they startResults You Can Expect:Beekeepers using these methods report 90% lower colony losses, 40% higher honey yields, and 75% less time spent on hive maintenance compared to conventional chemical-dependent approaches.Transform beekeeping from constant worry to joyful partnership with nature. Your bees (and your harvest) will thank you.

'A must-read for anyone who loves dogs.' – Rory Cellan-Jones This book explores what every dog owner knows – that a dog is never just a dog. They are our companions, best friends, members of the family and for some the most important part of our lives. Our ability to make meaningful connections with other animal species and their ability to return the favour is, perhaps, never more beautiful than the bond we have with dogs.Simon Wooler, trainer to Sophie from Romania, social media’s most famous fearful canine, unlocks the heart of the special relationship we have with dogs.He explores how, over millennia, they have inveigled their way into our homes and hearts and evolved to live alongside us. Demystifying the science behind dog behaviour, he explains how they learn (and why they sometimes seem immune to our efforts to train them), how they communicate and what influences the powerful bond they form with their people. Perfect for dog lovers – the essential guide to loving your canine companion. ‘This book is a wonderful read. Full of insights, essential as well as practical advice on dogs.’ Niall Harbison

Since our our Neolithic ancestors' first forays into sheep-rearing nearly 11,000 years ago, these remarkable animals have fed us, clothed us, changed our diet and language and financed the conquest of large swathes of the earth.Sally Coulthard weaves this fascinating story into a vivid and colourful tapestry of engaging anecdotes and extraordinary ovine facts, whose multiple strands celebrate just how pivotal these woolly animals are to almost every aspect of human society and culture.This title was published also in the United States under the title Follow the Flock.'A snappy, stimulating book, and certainly not just for shepherds' Mail on Sunday'Full of fascinating social history' Independent'You won't look at a sheep in the same way again' Country Living

In the night-wood I have met a badger coming the other way, tipped my cap, said hello. The animals do not expect us humans to be abroad in the dark, which is their time, when the world still belongs to them.That was in winter. The screaming of a tawny owl echoed off the bare trees. For all of our street-lamp civilization, you can still hear the call of the wild. If, if, you go out after the decline of the day...As the human world settles down each evening, nocturnal animals prepare to take back the countryside. Taking readers on four walks through the four seasons, acclaimed nature writer and farmer John Lewis-Stempel reveals a world bursting with life and normally hidden from view. Out beyond the cities, it is still possible to see the night sky full of stars, or witness a moonbow, an arch of white light in the heavens.It is time for us to leave our lairs and go tramping. To join our fellow creatures of the night.

His acute observation of the natural world and ability to transcend it exquisitely sets Chris apart from his contemporaries.Time slows down for a deeper intimacy with nature, and through Chris’s writing we hear every rustle of a leaf, every call of a bird.

‘A windswept love letter to Scotland’s heritage sheep and to the Orkney farming community too.’ Cal Flyn, author of Islands of AbandonmentThe Lost Flock is the story of the remarkable and rare little horned sheep, known as Orkney Boreray, and the wool-obsessed woman who moved to one of Scotland’s wildest islands to save them.It was Jane Cooper’s passion for knitting that led her to discover the world of rare-breed sheep and their wool. Through this, Jane uncovered the ‘Orkney Borerary’ – a unique group within the UK’s rarest breed of sheep, the Boreray, and one of the few surviving examples of primitive sheep in northern Europe.As her knowledge of this rarest of heritage breeds grew, she took the bold step to uproot her quiet suburban life in Newcastle and relocate to Orkney, embarking on a new adventure and life as farmer and shepherd.Jane was astonished to find that she was the sole custodian of this lost flock in the world, and so she began investigating their mysterious and ancient history, tracking down the origins of the Boreray breed and its significance to Scotland’s natural heritage.From Viking times to Highland crofts and nefarious research experiments in Edinburgh, this is a so-far untold real-life detective story. It is also the story of one woman’s relentless determination to ensure a future for her beloved sheep, and in doing so revealing their deep connection to the Scottish landscape.An unforgettable story of a heritage breed and the importance of its existence.‘Rare-breed sheep, Scotland’s most dramatic landscapes and a woman on a mission.

Detta är en mycket annorlunda bok och kanske den första sitt slag; en bok om hur man får en enklare och SMARTare vardag med hjälp av sin hund. Likaså är det den första boken med tips, råd och fokus på hur man tränar hund om man har en funktionsnedsättning men träningsråden passar alla hundägare som vill träna sin hund på ett kreativt och SMART sätt. I denna bok har erfarenheter och material samlats från SMART hundutbildning, ett 3-årigt Arvsfonden projekt, men här ﬁnns också mycket information kring likheter och skillnader mellan SMART hundarna och certiﬁ erade assistans hundar.

THE NO. 1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERHead back down to Clarkson Farm with the latest bestseller from our favourite welly-wearing wannabe farmer, Jeremy Clarkson___________Enthusiastic trainee farmer Jeremy Clarkson made just £144 in his first year at Diddly Squat Farm. This year he's determined to do better. Not because he now knows what he's doing. But because he's fed up of getting stick from Kaleb.Yet farming continues to be a challenge.For instance . . .· Loading a grain trailer was more demanding than flying an Apache gunship?· Cows were more dangerous than motor-racing?· It's easier to get planning permission to build a nuclear plant than to turn a barn into a restaurant?Jeremy's always got a plan. Loads of them. Often cunning.Not always greeted with wild enthusiasm by Kaleb and Cheerful Charlie, however . . .___________PRAISE FOR DIDDLY SQUAT'Clarkson has done more for farmers in one series than Countryfile achieved in 30 years' James Rebanks, author of A Shepherd's Life'Clarkson has showcased the passion, humour and personalities of the people who work throughout the year to grow the nation's food . . . and brought an understanding of many of the issues faced by farmers to the British public' National Farmers Union'A deserving Farming Champion of the Year' Farmers Weekly'I don't know anything about farming. It's like David Attenborough doing jet-skiing, or Nicholas Witchell saying, "I'm going to be a cage fighter'" Jeremy Clarkson

Escape to Languedoc in this poignant and transportative true account of life in a beautifully restored house in the south of France'Wonderful, exquisitely written, laugh-out-loud funny, profoundly moving. An utter joy and a treat to read from first to last' JAMES HOLLAND'Dolby writes with genuine emotion. He writes beautifully about life in a French village' DAILY MAIL___________An Englishman's home is his castle. But what if it's French?One Place de L'Eglise is a thousand-year-old Languedoc ruin. Leaky, crumbling, lacking basic amenities, it is ignored by the local villagers. But for Londoners Trevor and Kaz it is love at first sight. Over the years they turn the house into a home, navigating floods and freezing winters. Here, these two English find their place - their bar, their baker, their builder (ignore him at your peril).And gradually they learn slower joys - scents of thyme and lavender, warm sun on stone, nights hung with stars, silence in the hills, the secrets of fig jam.One Place de L'Eglise is a love letter - to a house, a village, a country - from an outsider who discovers you can never be a stranger when you're made to feel so at home.___________'Irresistible, a timeless story' MICHAEL PALIN'Elegant, captivating, and sprinkled with self-deprecating humour. Dolby is a writer of abundant talent' PETER KERR, author of Snowball Oranges

An enchanting journey of restoration and rediscovery in the heart of the New Forest . . .‘The perfect tonic for our chaotic times.’ - Sophy Roberts, author of Lost Pianos of Siberia and A Training School for ElephantsSome moments in childhood are frozen in time, vivid and vital, an anchor. When James Aldred tracked down an old horse-drawn wagon he once played in, he found himself inside one such moment again. However broken and rotten, it transported him to a magical summer in the New Forest forty years ago and awakened in him the possibility of reliving it with his young family.In his evocative memoir, Aldred chronicles his return to a cherished landscape. As he painstakingly restores the wagon, learning from local crafts people, he delves into both the New Forest's natural history and storied past, tracing its roots back to the 16th century and even further to the time of William the Conqueror. Camera traps reveal otters hunting in the brook nearby, while the nearby goshawk nest and fox earth speak to the area's thriving wildlife.Masterfully observed, A Wagon in the Woods is a celebration of both people and place, and the timeless bond between land, history and the enduring spirit of adventure.‘Aldred has travelled the world driven by his love for trees. But the forest he loves most is here at home-the New Forest. This wonderful book takes us all into the depth of his special place - reminding us that we all need our own special wild place.’ - Alastair Fothergill, producer of The Blue Planet, Planet Earth, and Frozen Planet 'An inspirational tale of discovery and a passionate quest to fulfil a life-long dream.' - Ella Al-Shamahi, British explorer, paleoanthropologist, evolutionary biologist, stand-up comic and presenter
