Colin Tudge''s The Secret Life of Trees: How they Live and Why they Matter explores the hidden role of trees in our everyday lives - and how our future survival depends on them. What is a tree? As this celebration of the trees shows, they are our countryside; our ancestors descended from them; they gave us air to breathe. Yet while the stories of trees are as plentiful as leaves in a forest, they are rarely told. Here, Colin Tudge travels from his own back garden round the world to explore the beauty, variety and ingenuity of trees everywhere: from how they live so long to how they talk to each other and why they came to exist in the first place.

Colin Rowe is acknowledged to be the most influential figure in architectural theory in the last half of the 20th century. Although his contribution to the discipline and practice of urban design is equally important, there is no single text which specifically focuses on his work in this sphere. This book intends to address this omission by critically examining Rowe''s urban design theory and its evolution, which began at the Cornell University Urban Design program in 1963 and continued until his death in 1999. The text features a score of previously unpublished essays by prominent scholars, educators and practitioners, many of whom were his students or close collaborators. The Urban Design Legacy of Colin Rowe provides a window to explore past, present and future themes central to the discipline of urban design as seen through the critical lens of Colin Rowe and those who continue to define their creative work in relationship to that extraordinary intellect.

“Let’s talk plainly. Your child is fat and you would like to help your child lose weight.” – Camp Stanley founder, Gussie Mason. A teenaged Moira Dann was blindsided by her parents'' suggestion that instead of a regular vacation with her family, she spend part of her summer at a weight-loss camp for girls in the Catskills. They laid out a colourful brochure. She protested, but ultimately attended the famous Camp Stanley, featured in the award-winning documentary, A Matter of Fat. Fat Camp Summer is an amusing, poignant, and vulnerable memoir of the author’s experience of a forced makeover and her often fraught relationship with the parents who insisted on it. Dann tackles issues common to overweight children, including bullying, peer pressure, parental judgement, food obsession and eating disorders, body-image issues, the torment of clothes shopping, and many more. The book is also a journalistic investigation into the research and mythologies surrounding chronic obesity, one of the most tenacious, emotionally difficult, and still misunderstood health issues of our time, affecting almost 20 percent of American children today.

We live in an age of unprecedented individualism. We seek individualistic solutions to our problems, but we can rarely explain failures and successes by looking at one person’s actions, or fix things entirely on our own.

Nearly every scientific discovery, world-changing business, desert island musical album and legendary sports team has a great group at its core. In his revelatory book, Dr Colin Fisher, a foremost expert on group dynamics, demonstrates how to harness the amazing power of groups to achieve great things under the right conditions.

The Great Wood of Caledon – the historic native forest of Highland Scotland – has a reputation as potent and misleading as the wolves that ruled it. The popular image is of an impassable, sun-snuffing shroud, a Highlands-wide jungle infested by wolf, lynx, bear, beaver, wild white cattle, wild boar, and wilder painted men. Jim Crumley shines a light into the darker corners of the Great Wood, to re-evaluate some of the questionable elements of its reputation, and to assess the possibilities of its partial resurrection into something like a national forest. The book threads a path among relict strongholds of native woodland, beginning with a soliloquy by the Fortingall Yew, the one tree in Scotland that can say of the hey-day of the Great Wood 5,000 years ago: ''I was there.'' The journey is enriched by vivid wildlife encounters, a passionate and poetic account that binds the slow dereliction of the past to an optimistic future.
