A guide to finding, identifying and eating wild plants. There is food within three metres of your front door. Three generations ago, it was common practice all over the world to collect this wild food; knowledge of what, where and when to forage was a necessary part of daily life. We still had lived experience of harvesting wild food with our hands. But with the advent of supermarket culture, monocultural systems of food production and escalating urbanisation, the knowledge associated with foraging has mostly been lost. Today, we want this knowledge back. From forest to seaside, riverbank to city street - even your own yard - there is wild food and medicine available to those who know what to look for. In the face of global challenges such as climate change, food security and pandemic, we seek to empower ourselves with the information and skills that bring self-reliance and equip us to care for our families and communities. Eat Weeds shows how you can engage with wild food sources, reconnect with the stories of our ancestors, and care for local ecologies while transforming your neighbourhood into an edible adventure.

Kniha - autor Barbara Ann Brennan, 320 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná With the clarity of a physicist and the compassion of a gifted healer with fifteen years of professional experience observing 5,000 clients and students, Barbara Ann Brennan presents the first in-depth study of the human energy field for people who seek happiness, health and their full potential. Our physical bodies exist within a larger "body," a human energy field or aura, which is the vehicle through which we create our experience of reality, including health and illness. It is through this energy field that we have the power to heal ourselves. This energy body -- only recently verified by scientists, but long known to healers and mystics -- is the starting point of all illness. Here, our most powerful and profound human interactions take place, the precursor and healer of all physiological and emotional disturbances. "Hands of Light is your guide to a new wholeness. It...

What makes New Wave... New Wave? It's the catchall name of punk's poppy offshoot, born in the 70s simultaneously in the United States and United Kingdom. But how would you describe New Wave's context in the zeitgeist of the time, or explain how this new electro-rock made people feel? Well, that's precisely what DJ and author Steve Wide explains in this handy book.In these pages, Steve explains the social and music industry climates of the 70s and 80s, unpacking the influence of the punk genre on NYC-based groups like the Velvet Underground and New York Dolls. There's also a timeline on the usage of the term New Wave - for a long chunk of the 70s it was used almost interchangeably with "punk". There are breakdowns on the key record labels, DJs, producers, engineers and magazines - all of which stitched their own layer on the New Wave patchwork. There are deep dives into controversies, rivalries and messy band breakups. And lastly, there's a dissection of how ripples of New Wave are still felt today, in recorded music and across wider pop culture.If you, or someone close to you, is obsessed with the minutiae of the New Wave movement, then this book is a must-have.

All the evidence - from photos to electricity bills - suggests he's right.Lauren's attic, she slowly realises, is creating an endless supply of husbands for her.There's the one who pretends to play music on her toes.The one who's too hot (there must be a catch).The one who makes a great breakfast sandwich.The one who turns everything into double entendres ('I'll weed your garden').And the one who can calm her unruly thoughts with a single touch.But when you can change husbands as easily as changing a lightbulb, how do you know whether the one you have now is the good-enough one, or the wrong one, or the best one? And how long should you keep trying to find out? (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Tana žije ve světě, kde existují tajemná Města chladu. Jsou obehnaná vysokou zdí a slouží jako dekadentní a krvavá karanténa, kde nestvůry a lidé žijí jako predátoři a oběti. Problémem je, že jakmile projdete branami Města chladu, nikdy už se nemůžete vrátit zpět. Jednoho rána po naprosto obyčejném večírku se Tana probudí obklopena mrtvými těly. Kromě ní masakr přežil jen její protivně roztomilý ex-přítel, jehož život visí na vlásku kvůli infekci, a záhadný mladík, který skrývá strašlivé tajemství. Po počátečním šoku se Tana pustí do závodu s časem, aby je všechny zachránila. Napadne ji jen jediný způsob, jak toho dosáhnout - musí se vydat přímo do samotného Města chladu, plného nástrah a hrůzy. Nejchladnější dívka ve Městě chladu, román světově uznávané spisovatelky Holly Black, je originálním příběhem o hněvu a pomstě, o vině a strachu, o lásce a pohrdání. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

From the bestselling authors and hosts of 'The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe' a high-tech roadmap of the future in their beloved voice, cracking open both the follies of futurists past and how technology will profoundly change our world moving forward. Our predictions of the future are a wild fantasy, inextricably linked to our present hopes and fears, biases and ignorance. Whether they be the outlandish leaps predicted in the 1920s, like multi-purpose utility belts with climate control capabilities and planes the size of luxury cruise ships, or the forecasts of the '60s, which didn't anticipate the sexual revolution or women's liberation, the path to the present is littered with failed predictions and incorrect estimations.The best we can do is try to absorb from futurism's checkered past, perhaps learning to do a little better.In The Skeptics' Guide To The Future, Steven Novella and his co-authors build upon the work of futurists of the past by examining what they got right, what they got wrong, and how they came to those conclusions. By exploring the pitfalls of each era, they give their own speculations about the distant future, transformed by unbelievable technology ranging from genetic manipulation to artificial intelligence and quantum computing. Applying their trademark skepticism, they carefully extrapolate upon each scientific development, leaving no stone unturned as they lay out a vision for the future of tomorrow. (knihydobrovsky.cz)
