<b>Legendary gardener and plantswoman Beth Chatto describes how she transformed a piece of wasteland into a lush and blooming garden in this beautiful book, filled with helpful tips and practical advice.</b><br/><br/> The story of how Beth Chatto created her gravel garden on <b>'possibly the driest, and the most windswept, piece of soil in England'</b> has a <b>message of hope for gardeners everywhere</b>. At the outset she promised herself: 'This garden was not to be irrigated in times of drought. Once established the plants must fend for themselves or die.' <br/><br/> The results,<b> eloquently described by the author </b>and beautifully portrayed in Steven Wooster's <b>specially commissioned photographs </b>taken through the seasons, testify to the triumphant outcome of the adventure. <br/><br/> Showing how<b> her principles can be applied on any scale</b>, this book is an essential read for any gardener facing water shortages and poor soil. <b>Rich with hard-won tips and expressed in Beth Chatto's matchless style, this is a gardening classic.</b>

<b>A Gorgeously Illustrated Collection of First-Person Stories on the Sublime Joy of Flyfishing</b><br/><br/>Every fly fisher has one: that moment-that ineffable, transcendent moment-they can point to and say, <i>That's it. That was when time seemed to stop and I felt fully alive. That's why I fish.</i><br/><br/>Collected and framed by the award-winning writer Peter Kaminsky, <b><i>The Catch of a Lifetime</i></b> presents the moving first-person stories of more than seventy anglers recounting their catch of a lifetime. With its tales of brown trout in Montana and bluefish at Montauk Point, smallmouth in Minnesota's Boundary Waters and unforgettable adventures with giant taimen on the steppes of central Asia, bonefish in New Caledonia, white marlin in the Baja, and golden dorado in the tribal lands along the Amazon's headwaters, this gorgeously illustrated anthology is a transporting testament to the call that all anglers heed-to get out there and be one with the water. It distills perfectly the magic of the sport; you can't read it and not want to go fishing.<br/><br/>The contributor list is a diverse who's who of writers, artists, sportspeople, and others who've made flyfishing a singular passion, including Carl Hiaasen, Joan Wulff, Tom Colicchio, Charles Gaines, Rachel Maddow, Mark Kurlansky, Brittany Howard, John McPhee, Verlyn Klinkenborg, and Jared Zissu. Their encounters, their memories, the words they use to describe, say, a forty-pound salmon leaping into the air or the sight of a great blue heron soaring down the creek to steal a catch make this the book of a lifetime for any fly fisher.

<b>'A hymn of love to the world ... A journey that is every bit as mythic as it is scientific, as sacred as it is historical, as clever as it is wise' Elizabeth Gilbert, author of <i>Eat, Pray, Love</i></b><br/><br/>As a botanist, Robin Wall Kimmerer has been trained to ask questions of nature with the tools of science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces the notion that plants and animals are our oldest teachers. In <i>Braiding Sweetgrass</i>, Kimmerer brings these two ways of knowledge together. <br/><br/>Drawing on her life as an indigenous scientist, a mother, and a woman, Kimmerer shows how other living beings - asters and goldenrod, strawberries and squash, salamanders, algae, and sweetgrass - offer us gifts and lessons, even if we've forgotten how to hear their voices. In a rich braid of reflections that range from the creation of Turtle Island to the forces that threaten its flourishing today, she circles toward a central argument: that the awakening of a wider ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgment and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the rest of the living world. For only when we can hear the languages of other beings will we be capable of understanding the generosity of the earth, and learn to give our own gifts in return.
