V této příručce naleznete některé z nejoblíbenějších aktivit, které Peter Houghton a Jane Worroll provádějí ve vlastní lesní škole, a zároveň nasajete filozofii lesní pedagogiky založené na budování sebevědomí a sociálních dovedností prostřednictvím pobytu v přírodě. Přestože je kniha psána především pro rodiče, vychovatele a učitele, kteří budou hry usměrňovat v roli průvodců lesní školy, pokynům a obrázkům bez potíží porozumějí i děti. Aktivity jsou vhodné pro děti od 3 do 11 let a mohou být upraveny tak, aby odpovídaly nejen věkové skupině, ale také individuálním schopnostem všech zúčastněných. Například malým dětem je možné asistovat při rozdělávání „vílího ohně“ v lastuře, zatímco těm starším dát za úkol připravit a podpálit vlastní ohýnek pouze za pomoci křesadla. Čeká vás tvořivá kapitola o lesním umění, poutavý popis zálesáckých dovedností a také část o objevování přírody uvádějící seznam neobvyklých aktivit, které hráčům otevřou oči a umožní jim své okolí vnímat ze zcela nového úhlu pohledu. Můžete se těšit na spoustu nápadů, jak se zabavit pouze s jedním nebo dvěma dětmi, a zároveň i na celou kapitolu o skupinových hrách v divočině pro větší počet účastníků, vhodných například při narozeninových oslavách nebo hromadných výpravách do přírody. Díky půvabným ilustracím a hravému vzhledu nabízí tato kniha každému bez rozdílu věku úžasné zážitky při pobývání v lese. Autoři: PETER HOUGHTON je kvalifikovaný průvodce lesní školy, který společně s Jane Worroll vede celoroční lesní kroužek pro děti z Londýna i okolí. Pracoval jako umělecký řemeslník (práce se dřevem a dalšími materiály) a koordinátor v charitativní organizaci zaměřené na ohrožené městské děti a mládež, během čehož prohluboval své zkušenosti s lesní pedagogikou. Je vyučený a zběhlý v historické i ornamentální dřevořezbě a tesařství z nesušeného dřeva. JANE WORROLL prací pod širým nebem strávila většinu svého dospělého života: dělala zahradnici, ošetřovala stromy a po dvanáct let pracovala jako Countryside Ranger (správkyně venkovské oblasti), kdy pečovala o krajinu, sledovala stav chráněných druhů a zaučovala dobrovolníky. Vystudovala ekologii a druhý titul má z oboru ochrany životního prostředí.

Kromě toho každou kapitolu věnovanou jednomu ročnímu období zakončuje program na celý den pod širým nebem, který využijete při pořádání oslav, ale i kdykoliv jindy. Na jaře si nasbírejte čerstvé kopřivy na polévku, uplácejte Zemi k narozeninám dort z bláta a upleťte si provázek z mladého ostružiní. V létě si z ostružin a ptačích per vyrobte inkoust a psací brky, vytvořte si masky z opadané kůry a připravte si na ohni ovocnou pochoutku. Na podzim ze spadaného listí udělejte duhu, postavte si bunkr a pak si v něm vyprávějte příběhy podle malovaných příběhových kamínků. V zimě se projděte krajinou s buzolou v ruce, vyřezejte si skřítky z klacků a na otevřeném ohni si svařte jablečný džus s vánočním kořením.

Ať už jste rodiče, učitelé, průvodci v lesní školce, nebo jen máte na starosti partu dětí, tato příručka je napěchovaná nápady, jak dostat ratolesti ven a učit je poznávat přírodu. Vytvoří si k ní pouto, získají nové dovednosti a užijí si spoustu zábavy na čerstvém vzduchu. Hry a zálesácké či rukodělné aktivity jsou založeny na využití čtyř základních přírodních živlů — země, vzduchu, ohně a vody. Nesou v sobě poselství udržitelnosti a vzbuzují úžas nad fascinující propojeností života. ZEMĚ : vytvořte si bahenní skluzavku, nabatikujte látku mazlavou hlínou a zkuste koulemi z bláta zasáhnout pohyblivý cíl VZDUCH : vyřežte si ze dřeva píšťalu, vyrobte a vypusťte do vzduchu papírového draka nebo předvídejte počasí podle mraků OHEŇ : vykopejte si v přírodě bezpečné ohniště, vytvořte si pochodeň k odpuzení hmyzu nebo se zorientujte pomocí stínové hole VODA : umíchejte si přírodní barvivo, postavte a otestujte vodotěsný bunkr nebo si z vlastnoručně vyrobených dřevěných tupláků vychutnejte přírodní březový čaj Vše doplňují čtyři kouzelné příběhy, které v dětech probudí fantazii — pro každý živel jeden.

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERFrom the National Book Award-winning author of Just Kids Selected as Book of the Year by the Daily Telegraph, i paper, Metro and Harper''s Bazaar‘Magical’ GUARDIAN''A gripping tale of the search for meaning in times of turbulence - expressed with Smith’s signature poetic flair'' VOGUE ''Extraordinary ... A tense, teasing mix of reality and dream'' Sunday Times''A melancholy mood and poetic language distinguish Smith’s third memoir'' BBC‘Her willingness to look closely at life’s closing chapters makes for a magical book'' WASHINGTON POST, ''The 10 books to read in September''Following a run of New Year’s concerts at San Francisco’s legendary Fillmore, Patti Smith finds herself tramping the coast of Santa Cruz, about to embark on a year of solitary wandering. Unfettered by logic or time, she draws us into her private wonderland, with no design yet heeding signs, including a talking sign that looms above her, prodding and sparring like the Cheshire Cat. In February, a surreal lunar year begins, bringing with it unexpected turns, heightened mischief, and inescapable sorrow. In a stranger’s words, “Anything is possible: after all, it’s the year of the monkey.” For Patti Smith - inveterately curious, always exploring, tracking thoughts, writing the year evolves as one of reckoning with the changes in life’s gyre: with loss, aging, and a dramatic shift in the political landscape of America. Smith melds the Western landscape with her own dreamscape. Taking us from Southern California to the Arizona desert; to a Kentucky farm as the amanuensis of a friend in crisis; to the hospital room of a valued mentor; and by turns to remembered and imagined places - this haunting memoir blends fact and fiction with poetic mastery. The unexpected happens; grief and disillusionment. But as Patti Smith heads toward a new decade in her own life, she offers this balm to the reader: her wisdom, wit, gimlet eye, and above all, a rugged hope of a better world. Riveting, elegant, often humorous, illustrated by Smith’s signature Polaroids, Year of the Monkey is a moving and original work, a touchstone for our turbulent times.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERHave you ever wondered what God truly expects of women? Is there really a prescription for biblical womanhood? Does the Bible''s idea of womanhood have a place in modern Christianity? New York Times bestselling author Rachel Held Evans embarks on a year-long study of what it means to live by the standards of biblical womanhood. Strong-willed and independent, Evans couldn''t sew a button on a blouse before she embarked on a radical life experiment--a year of biblical womanhood. Intrigued by the traditionalist resurgence that led many of her friends to abandon their careers to assume traditional gender roles in the home, Evans decided to try it for herself, vowing to take all of the Bible''s instructions for women as literally as possible for a full year.Along the way, Evans explores the rich heritage of scriptural heroines, models of grace, and all-around women of valor that we come to know in the Bible. She consults with women who practice these ancient biblical mandates in their own lives--from an Orthodox Jewish woman who changed the way Evans reads the Bible to an Amish community that taught her the true meaning of modesty.In A Year of Biblical Womanhood, Evans shares her courageous and often humorous journey of:exploring what a "woman''s place" is according to the Scripturesapplying the Bible''s teachings to day-to-day life, sometimes to literal extremesfocusing on virtues like domesticity, obedience, beauty, submission, and gracedeveloping a "Biblical Woman''s Ten Commandments" to serve as a guide for daily living Join Evans as she dives deep into the lives of the women we meet in Scripture and redefines what it means to live biblically.

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of ‘March’ and ‘People of the Book’.A young woman’s struggle to save her family and her soul during the extraordinary year of 1666, when plague suddenly struck a small Derbyshire village.In 1666, plague swept through London, driving the King and his court to Oxford, and Samuel Pepys to Greenwich, in an attempt to escape contagion. The north of England remained untouched until, in a small community of leadminers and hill farmers, a bolt of cloth arrived from the capital. The tailor who cut the cloth had no way of knowing that the damp fabric carried with it bubonic infection.So begins the Year of Wonders, in which a Pennine village of 350 souls confronts a scourge beyond remedy or understanding. Desperate, the villagers turn to sorcery, herb lore, and murderous witch-hunting. Then, led by a young and charismatic preacher, they elect to isolate themselves in a fatal quarantine. The story is told through the eyes of Anna Frith who, at only 18, must contend with the death of her family, the disintegration of her society, and the lure of a dangerous and illicit attraction.Geraldine Brooks’s novel explores love and learning, fear and fanaticism, and the struggle of 17th century science and religion to deal with a seemingly diabolical pestilence. ‘Year of Wonders’ is also an eloquent memorial to the real-life Derbyshire villagers who chose to suffer alone during England’s last great plague.

From the acclaimed author of Rewild Yourself comes a brilliant book that reveals the natural joys to be discovered on your doorstep. In the autumn of 2020, Simon Barnes should have been leading a safari in Zambia, but Covid restrictions meant his plans had to be put on hold. Instead, he embarked on the only voyage of discovery that was still open to him. He walked to a folding chair at the bottom of his garden, and sat down. His itinerary: to sit in that very same spot every day for a year and to see - and hear - what happened all around him. It would be a stationary garden safari; his year of sitting dangerously had begun. For the next twelve months, he would watch as the world around him changed day by day. Gradually, he began to see his surroundings in a new way; by restricting himself, he opened up new horizons, growing even closer to a world he thought he already knew so well.The Year of Sitting Dangerously is a wonderfully evocative read; it inspires the reader to pay closer attention to the marvels that surround us all, and is packed with handy tips to help bring nature even closer to us.
