Pre-order the all-new collection of hair-raising missteps and hilarious antics on Diddly Squat Farm, from gentleman farmer and two-time Sexiest Man Alive winner, Jeremy Clarkson.'Fans of Prime TV series Clarkson's Farm will enjoy this companion' IRISH TIMESUncooperative animals, underperforming crops, and rather less than best-laid plans pursued with unbridled enthusiasm. Clarkson’s farm is the gift that keeps on giving. But, as one overseas visitor* admitted, he only came to Diddly Squat because he just didn’t believe that Jeremy could be so incompetent.Not one to be discouraged, however, our hero decides to bring his misunderstood entrepreneurial flair to bear on a new venture: a pub. And just a few short weeks later, the doors open on The Farmer’s Dog.All British produce, Hawkstone beer on tap, a private bar for farmers and a vintage tractor hanging from the ceiling. The perfect country pub. A welcome distraction from sustainable farming initiatives, psychedelic wheat, angry protests in central London and a headbutting goat.What, you may be asking, could possibly go wrong?On top of the lavatories packing up and the electricity running out, you mean? As the Cotwolds’ newest publican quickly discovers, there’s a lot more to landlording than pulling pints.Just as well, then, that he still has Lisa, Kaleb, Cheerful Charlie and Gerald to help him through. Especially now his doctor’s told him he’s got to become a vegetablist …*along with the whole of the rest of China, apparently___________Praise for Clarkson's Farm:'The best thing Clarkson's done . . .

Livet på gården : jordnära hästbruk
AvLennart Fröding

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

'This book deserves a place in your bookcase next to Harari's Sapiens. It's every bit as fascinating and is surely destined to be just as successful' Julian Norton From the plains of ancient Mesopotamia to the vast sheep farms of modern-day Australia, sheep have been central to the human story. 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.

‘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. All the perfect ingredients for an ovine true-life adventure.’ Sally Coulthard, author of A Short History of the World According to Sheep

‘A thought-provoking and very readable book’ The Mail on Sunday‘A breezily written yet wise and complex book on what animals think, feel and know.’ Sy Montgomery, Times Literary SupplementAre animals trying to talk to us? And can we learn to listen? It started with a hummingbird dive-bombing Amelia Thomas over her morning coffee, and a pair of piglets determined to escape. Soon Amelia begins to wonder about all the creatures around her – her cat, her dogs, the pheasant family inhabiting the woods, her ‘difficult’ big red horse, even the earwigs in her farm’s dark, damp corners. Were all these animals trying to communicate with her in some way? And could she learn to listen and understand what they were saying?With the doggedness of a journalist, the soul of an animal lover, and the wonder of a curious intellect, Amelia embarks on a journey to uncover the answer. Along the way, as well as groundbreaking chimps and circumspect octopuses, she’ll meet an extraordinary cast of experts, from anthrozoologists and trackers to AI researchers and pet psychics, all offering a new perspective on the subtle, complex ways animals connect with us.Filled with warm wit, playful stories and surprising science, What Sheep Think About the Weather is a call to listen – not only to the animals we love but to the untamed world around us.‘A refreshingly open-minded and wide-ranging book that seeks to bridge the gulf that all too often separates us from our fellow creatures.’ David Barrie, author of Incredible Journeys ‘A warm and thought-provoking read, filled with plenty of charm and wit. You'll never look at animals the same way.’ Jules Howard, author of Wonderdog ‘Compelling, original and surprisingly introspective, it simultaneously uncovers the animal in us and the human in animals.’ Hannah Bourne-Taylor, author of Nature Needs You

En engagerad och faktafylld skildring av den svenska grisens kulturhistoria. Här sätts detta mångfasetterade djur in i ett större sammanhang. Och grisen och människan har en lång gemensam berättelse att erbjuda, inte bara djurets kotletter eller dess föga smickrande användning i språket. "En bok om ett av de intelligentaste djuren borde få inledas av djuret självt", skriver Martin Ragnar. Nu är icke detta möjligt, men däremot möter vi grisen i hundratals foton och illustrationer, där den plirande tittar betraktaren i ögonen eller med berättigad misstänksamhet skyggar med blicken, där den leker och bökar, umgås eller bara vegeterar. Ragnar skriver om härstamning och egenskaper, om grisens plats i religionen, om dess renlighet och nyttighet som markberedare, som jaktgris, tryffelsvin och sällskapsdjur. Grisen har likaså varit offerdjur, är både tamsvin och vildsvin, ollonsvin och skogssvin. Här möter lantraser och förädlade grisar, men samtidigt mänsklig grymhet och grishat. Naturligtvis avhandlas även grisen som köttdjur och leverantör av skinka och korvar till människans middagsbord. Därför skriver Ragnar också om slakt och köttprodukter av gris i kyldiskar och olika matvaror. Inte minst möter läsaren den svenska »urgrisen«, återuppstånden som Linderödssvinet på många ställen i denna insiktsfulla lovsång. Två välkända »gris- och matprofiler« har skrivit varsitt företal till boken uppfödaren Rolf-Axel Nordström och mästerkocken Paul Svensson. Martin Ragnar är författare, forskare och både humanist och naturvetare/tekniker med en rad böcker på den digra meritlistan. Hans två senaste matböcker är "Svensk ostkultur" och "Regional matkultur". Martin Ragnar är också ideellt engagerad i olika föreningar med mat på agendan.
