The Running Hare - John Lewis Stempel - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Running Hare - John Lewis Stempel - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

__________________ ''BRITAIN''S FINEST LIVING NATURE WRITER'' - THE TIMES The Sunday Times Bestseller - SHORTLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE 2017 Traditional ploughland is disappearing. Seven cornfield flowers have become extinct in the last twenty years. Once abundant, the corn bunting and the lapwing are on the Red List. The corncrake is all but extinct in England. And the hare is running for its life.Written in exquisite prose, The Running Hare tells the story of the wild animals and plants that live in and under our ploughland, from the labouring microbes to the patrolling kestrel above the corn, from the linnet pecking at seeds to the seven-spot ladybird that eats the aphids that eat the crop. It recalls an era before open-roofed factories and silent, empty fields, recording the ongoing destruction of the unique, fragile, glorious ploughland that exists just down the village lane.But it is also the story of ploughland through the eyes of man who took on a field and husbanded it in a natural, traditional way, restoring its fertility and wildlife, bringing back the old farmland flowers and animals. John Lewis Stempel demonstrates that it is still possible to create a place where the hare can rest safe. Shortlisted for the Richard Jefferies Society White Horse Bookshop Prize 2016. John Lewis-Stempel was winner of the Thwaites Wainwright Prize 2015 for MEADOWLAND .

Tarmac Warrior - Billy (author) Cribb - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Tarmac Warrior - Billy (author) Cribb - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Bare-knuckle fighting without the bull! I haven''t been to prison for robbery, I didn''t know the Krays and I make no claims to be invincible . . . But my life fighting was the closest to hell I will ever get.''Learn what fuels hatred and makes a once-gentle boy into violent man. Read stories of horrific fighting experiences on the Mafia-controlled extreme fight circuit of New York. Prepare yourself for harrowing descriptions of drug addiction, mindless violence and organised crime. Tarmac Warrior has it all. Billy Cribb was born into a Romani/Jew family and spent most of his childhood travelling. His early years were marred by the racism and bigotry his family endured at the hands of small-minded locals in the villages where they worked. These random attacks planted seeds of anger and hatred in Billy which later manifested in his fighting - for Billy Cribb became one of the greatest bare-knuckle fighters of his generation. Revealing an underground fight scene rarely glimpsed by those on the outside, Tarmac Warrior traces Billy''s career from his first fights on the motorways and A roads around Britain onto the cross channel ferries which provided an arena for many of his early fights. It then follows Billy''s move to Majorca, giving a frightening insight into what really goes on in this seemingly idyllic Mediterranean island: the timeshare racketeering, extortion and organised crime which lie under the surface of the popular holiday destination.

Walking the Bones of Britain - Christopher Somerville - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Walking the Bones of Britain - Christopher Somerville - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''[Somerville''s] infectious enthusiasm and wry humour infuse his journey from the Isle of Lewis to southern England, revealing our rich geological history with vibrant local and natural history.'' Observer ''An illuminating take on the British landscape ... a remarkable achievement. '' - Tom Chesshyre ''A meticulous exploration of the ground beneath our feet. Glorious.'' Katharine Norbury'' Somerville is a walker''s writer.'' Nicholas Crane ''His writing is utterly enticing.'' Country Walking'' ''The physical book is sumptuous, with helpful supplementary materials including colour photographs, a timeline, maps and walking route resources.'' Times Literary Supplement...........................................................................................................................................................................................................Travelling a thousand miles and across three billion years, Christopher Somerville (walking correspondent of The Times and author of Coast, The January Man and Ships of Heaven) sets out to interrogate the land beneath our feet, and how it has affected every aspect of human history from farming to house construction, the Industrial Revolution to the current climate crisis.In his thousand-mile journey, Somerville follows the story of Britain''s unique geology, travelling from the three billion year old rocks of the Isle of Lewis, formed when the world was still molten, down the map south eastwards across bogs, over peaks and past quarry pits to the furthest corner of Essex where new land is being formed by nature and man.Demystifying the sometimes daunting technicalities of geology with humour and a characteristic lightness of touch, Somerville''s book tells a story of humanity''s reckless exploitation and a lemming-like surge towards self-annihilation but also shows seeds of hope as we learn how we might work with geology to avert a climate catastrophe.It cannot fail to change the way you see the world beyond your door.

Divine Beauty - John O'donohue - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Divine Beauty - John O'donohue - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In this eagerly awaited follow-up to his international bestsellers Anam Cara and Eternal Echoes , John O''Donohue turns his attention to the subject of beauty - the divine beauty that calls the imagination and awakens all that is noble in the human heart.In these uncertain times of global conflict and crisis, we are riven with anxiety; our trust in the future has lost its innocence, for we know now that anything can happen from one second to the next. In such an unsheltered world, it may sound naive to suggest that this might be the moment to invoke and awaken beauty, yet this is exactly the claim that this book seeks to explore.DIVINE BEAUTY is a gentle but urgent call to awaken. O''Donohue opens our eyes, hearts and minds to the wonder of our own relationship with beauty. Rather than ''covering'' this theme, he uncovers it, exposing the infinity and mystery of its breadth. His words return us home to the dignity of silence, the profundity of stillness, the power of thought and perception, and the eternal grace and generosity of beauty''s presence. In this masterful and revelatory work, O''Donohue encourages our greater intimacy with beauty, and celebrates it for what it really is: a homecoming of the human spirit.As he focuses on the classical, medieval and Celtic traditions, on art, music, literature, nature and language, O''Donohue reveals how beauty''s invisible embrace invites us towards new heights of passion and creativity. DIVINE BEAUTY is an exquisite treasury of Forms of the Beautiful. Its surface employs narrative, image, anecdote and myth, while into the silence of its subtext are sown seeds of reflection that gradually blossom in the heart.
