We rely on the soil and its rich biodiversity for our food, traditions and folklore, but are we guilty of taking it for granted? In Down to Earth, Robert Ashton traces five centuries of human relationships with the soil, from farming and folklore to the modern environmental crisis. In so doing he reveals the wisdom of the gardeners, farmers, gravediggers, archaeologists and naturalists who work with it every day. Each chapter focuses on an aspect of our connection to the earth beneath our feet, seeking to deepen our understanding of its importance and encourage us to take its preservation more seriously.

Virginia Mendozas first memories are of drought. She grew up in La Mancha, Spain, the driest region in Europe. Her parents, grandparents, and almost every word, tool, and tradition of her homeland conveyed one conviction: without water, there is no life; without water, there is no civilization.In The Search for Water, Mendoza weaves this personal reflection together with a dazzling scientific and anthropological enquiry into the ways the search for water has shaped the story of humanity. From flows of migration, agriculture and pagan rain gods to contemporary struggles with drought and climate change, Mendoza writes a gripping and inventive history of humankind as driven and united by one force: thirst.

It aims to offer a holistic approach to achieving goals related to food and health. Nutritional coaching combines coaching principles, such as goal setting, obstacle identification, and strategy development, with knowledge of nutrition.The main objective of nutritional coaching is to help individuals make more conscious and healthy food choices, promoting lasting changes in their eating habits. The book can offer practical guidance, reflection exercises, and strategies for dealing with common food-related challenges, such as compulsions, inadequate choices, and lack of motivation.By incorporating coaching into the field of nutrition, the book seeks not only to provide information on diets and nutrition, but also to develop self-management skills, self-awareness, and empowerment of the individual in relation to their food choices. Therefore, nutritional coaching serves as a transformative approach that aims not only for momentary change, but also for building sustainable healthy habits in the long term.

Land is one of the most emotive and symbolically powerful issues in Africa. In rural contexts, the collision of history, class, race, gender, time and space has made meaningful efforts to overcome economic inequality complex. In South Africa, the end of slavery and its subsequent creation of buffer communities for military purposes in the 1850s all collided with the stalled emergence of a relatively self-sufficient Black peasantry. The dismantling of this Black agrarian class in the twentieth century involved the incubation of white producers and their favourable positioning within product markets. In a programme of statecraft, that explains our countrys prevalent inequality and widespread economic inactivity.New Settler or Old Tenant? explores how this past continues to shape the present. Using a rich body of archival, news, census, legal and primary sources spanning almost two centuries, the book traces the construction and reproduction of racial hierarchies in land, labour and product markets. Across the rural Eastern Cape from the lands between the Fish and Keiskamma rivers moving further north towards Kat River Valley, Sada (Whittlesea) and the Glen Grey area this journey reveals the origin stories of enduring rural economic conflicts and the heavy and tormenting legacy these struggles impose on the present.From the agrarian reforms of the 1830s, designed to secure labour after the end of slavery, to the failed Ciskeian experiments to remake a Black commercial agrarian class as a buffer community, and the mass resettlement of people into marginal lands, this book follows the long arc of history. To find multi-generation stories of change. At its heart are labour tenants, so-called squatters and relocated families historical actors in an over century-long struggle over land and livelihoods. In the democratic era, these communities, once marginalised and displaced, now stand as landholders (or tenants?) and citizens. Who await different futures on the land. In this life. Before heaven.Ayabonga Cawe challenges us to reckon with how the deep and enduring economic insecurity of rural life in South Africa undermines attempts at redress and the promise of overcoming agrarian duality and inequality.

Excellent Aaron BastaniFascinating Rod Liddle, Times Radio Every leader comes to power promising growth: think back to the campaigns of Boris, Truss, Sunak, Starmer, Trump. Yet real-term income hasnt improved in the UK since 2008. Across the West, growth has stagnated for well over a decade, leading to cost of living crises, political instability and rising social tensions.Is real economic growth still possible? And with the climate emergency accelerating beyond repair, should we still be pushing for it?In Icarus Economics, acclaimed economist John Rapley argues that the problem of growth is inherently tied up with the climate crisis. We often assume that poor countries will bear the brunt of climate change, pandemics, and other exogenous shocks, but this book argues the opposite: western societies have more wealth and capital to lose and are less inherently resilient. In this book, he shows us how rich countries can grow their own economies by helping poor countries to decarbonise - and in the process, mitigate the effects of climate change.

Project Blue Beam is a contentious theory that proposes a collaborative initiative by NASA and the United Nations to form a New Age belief system, aiming ultimately for the establishment of a global government. This concept, presented by Canadian journalist Serge Monast in the 1990s, has fascinated conspiracy theorists and piqued the interest of skeptics as well. The concept of Project Blue Beam revolves around the notion that sophisticated holographic systems can generate incredibly lifelike visual and auditory experiences. According to the theory, these illusions would be employed to replicate a sequence of events aimed at destabilizing current religious convictions and facilitating the emergence of a new global framework. This emerging framework would be defined by the consolidation of all countries under one centralized, authoritative governance. Monasts book Project Blue Beam (NASA) details a systematic four-step approach to accomplish this objective. Each step involves the use of advanced tools to shape public perception and create a sense of global crisis, ultimately persuading individuals to embrace the proposed New Age belief system and a unified global governance.

The following Essay owes its origin to a conversation with a friend, on the subject of Mr Godwins essay on avarice and profusion, in his Enquirer. The discussion started the general question of the future improvement of society, and the Author at first sat down with an intention of merely stating his thoughts to his friend, upon paper, in a clearer manner than he thought he could do in conversation. But as the subject opened upon him, some ideas occurred, which he did not recollect to have met with before; and as he conceived that every least light, on a topic so generally interesting, might be received with candour, he determined to put his thoughts in a form for publication.The Essay might, undoubtedly, have been rendered much more complete by a collection of a greater number of facts in elucidation of the general argument. But a long and almost total interruption from very particular business, joined to a desire (perhaps imprudent) of not delaying the publication much beyond the time that he originally proposed, prevented the Author from giving to the subject an undivided attention. He presumes, however, that the facts which he has adduced will be found to form no inconside

A atual crise ambiental e social demanda uma reflexo a respeito do estado vigente do mundo. Nosso atual modelo economico, caracterizado pelo uso indiscriminado de recursos, em um processo constante de extraço, produço, uso e descarte, se mostrou ineficiente, trazendo consequencias diretas a vida no planeta. A sociedade, ao passo que esta interligada a natureza, tem o poder de modifica-la, gerando impactos que podem ser encarados como problemas sociais. Este livro, partindo de uma perspectiva teorica da economia ecologica, buscou discorrer sobre a economia circular, apontando-a como um movimento economico alternativo, que pode contribuir para a reduço dos impactos ambientais e sociais, possibilitando um cenario de mais equidade e bem-estar social.
