Download or read book War Gardens written by Lalage Snow and published by Quercus. This book was released on 2018-09-06 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A remarkable book . . . It's a powerful testament to the healing balm of gardening and the resilience of the human spirit in the direst of circumstances.' Financial Times 'Not a happy book and yet it's magically heartening. It makes a gardener question his or her values.' The Times 'This extraordinary book...warm and engaging...like a photograph magicked to life.' Spectator 'Snow has spent ten years as a photographer and filmmaker covering unrest . . . Throughout that time she has sought comfort in green oases and come to understand "how vital gardens are 'against a horrid wilderness' of war". . . There can be few counter-narratives as enchanting and sad as those Snow recounts in War Gardens.' Times Literary Supplement 'For all these victims of war, their gardens are places in which to breathe, providing moments of calm, hope and optimism in a fragile life of horror and uncertainty. For many, it helps them to grieve. Books seldom bring a lump to my throat, but this one did.' Spectator 'What makes War Gardens the most illuminating garden book to be published this year, is the realisation that people's gardens are the antidotes to the horrors of their surroundings.' Country Life A journey through the most unlikely of gardens: the oases of peace people create in the midst of war In this millennium, we have become war weary. From Afghanistan to Iraq, from Ukraine to South Sudan and Syria, from Kashmir to the West Bank, conflict is as contagious and poisonous as Japanese knotweed. Living through it are people just like us with ordinary jobs, ordinary pressures and ordinary lives. Against a new landscape of horror and violence it is up to them to maintain a modicum of normality and colour. For some, gardening is the way to achieve this. Working in the world's most dangerous war zones, freelance war correspondent and photographer Lally Snow has often chanced across a very moving sight, a testimony to the triumph of the human spirit in adversity, a celebration of hope and beauty: a war garden. In Kabul, the royal gardens are tended by a centenarian gardener, though the king is long gone; in Camp Bastion, bored soldiers improvise tiny gardens to give themselves a moment's peace; on both sides of the dividing line in Jerusalem families tend groves of olives and raise beautiful plants from the unforgiving, disputed landscape; in Ukraine, families tend their gardens in the middle of a surreal, frozen war. War Gardens is a surprising, tragic and beautiful journey through the darkest places of the modern world, revealing the ways people make time and space for themselves and for nature even in the middle of destruction. Illustrated with Lally Snow's own award-winning photography, this is a book to treasure.

Book Synopsis Hellz Yeah It's Possible! by : Kevin 'Possible' Kiernan
Download or read book Hellz Yeah It's Possible! written by Kevin 'Possible' Kiernan and published by . This book was released on 2017-11-17 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thru Hiking the Appalachian Trail is an epic adventure, and yet one that is still within the reach of most people. It is a long journey, an escape, and a time of self-discovery. The author completed his own thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail in 2015. 'Hellz Yeah It's Possible' ('Possible' is the author's trail Name) is designed as a two part guide and aid to prospective thru-hikers, although those readers who are just looking for an adventure tale should not be disappointed. The first section is an account of the author's journey, the second section is is a compilation of information useful to a prospective thru-hiker. It is entitled "If You Go". The journal is broken down day by day, tracking distances and landmarks along the way. It incorporates the physical, social, and mental aspects of the author's thru-hike. The physical aspect off the trail is real. It is an insane endurance event for a person's body. It can actually be started by someone with only moderate conditioning, because the Appalachian Trail itself is its own training ground. The hiker learns to listen to their body, learn how much they can do, what to eat, and how to take care of themselves. This is part of the journal; as the days pass the author learns what makes his body work, and what makes it falter. Aspects of diet and physical care are critical parts of his wellbeing as he copes with the environmental rigors of living outdoors on the move for an extended period of time. The Appalachian Trail is not just a path through the woods and an escape into nature. As with all human constructs, it is a social community, a gathering of people. That it is a moving stream of people makes it no less a social adventure. There is conflict and resolution, friendships are made and broken, and people become more of what they are under the physical and emotional stresses of the journey. Hiking the trail is an intense period in a person's life, and it fuels social impact and personal growth in a direct way at a greater rate than at other periods of a persons life. The narrative discusses the author's own personal interactions and his reactions to the trail community at large. The Appalachian trail is also a landmark, its history is woven into the land it travels through, and with each year's class of hikers the history grows just a little more. Significant trail events and location lore are woven onto the narrative. It is told from the hiker's perspective, from one with a historical bent who marvels at the point in time that is his journey. In "If You Go" The author creates lists of gear and food choices, and imparts his own lessons from hiking the trail that will be of interest to anyone considering a long distance hike. The author discusses his choices knowing that his way is just one way, and develops some ideas he didn't use but were used by other successful thru-hikers. Most of the knowledge here is already discussed in the journal narrative, but it is condensed so it is a useful reference for those planning their own adventures.The author encourages everyone to find their own space and way to adventure. We are not meant to live our entire lives working in cubicles and retiring to a couch in front of a television. There is a real world out there waiting for you to find it. Hellz Yeah Its Possible!

Download or read book Trail of Hope written by Norman Davies and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-02-25 with total page 1043 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A detailed and highly illustrated account of the Polish II Corps' (or 'Anders Army') perilous journey to fight side by side with Allied forces at the height of World War II. Following the conquest of Poland by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union in 1939, hundreds of thousands of Polish families were torn from their homes and sent eastwards to the arctic wastes of Siberia. Prisoners of war, refugees, those regarded as 'social criminals' by Stalin's regime, and those rounded up by sheer chance were all sent 'to see the Great White Bear'. However, with Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union in Operation Barbarossa just two years later, Russia and the Allied powers found themselves on the same side once more. Turning to those that it had previously deemed 'undesirable', Russia sought to raise a Polish army from the men, women and children that it had imprisoned within its labour camps. In this remarkable work, renowned historian Professor Norman Davies draws from years of meticulous research to recount the compelling story of this unit, the Polish II Corps or 'Anders Army', and their exceptional journey from the Gulag of Siberia through Iran, the Middle East and North Africa to the battlefields of Italy to fight shoulder-to-shoulder with Allied forces. Complete with previously unpublished photographs and first-hand accounts from the men and women who lived through it, this is a unique visual and written record of one of the most fascinating episodes of World War II.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Land Remembered has become Florida's favorite novel. Now this Student Edition in two volumes makes this rich, rugged story of the American pioneer spirit more accessible to young readers. Patrick Smith tells of three generations of the MacIveys, a Florida family battling the hardships of the frontier. The story opens in 1858, when Tobias and Emma MacIvey arrive in the Florida wilderness with their son, Zech, to start a new life, and ends in 1968 with Solomon MacIvey, who realizes that his wealth has not been worth the cost to the land. Between is a sweeping story rich in Florida history with a cast of memorable characters who battle wild animals, rustlers, Confederate deserters, mosquitoes, starvation, hurricanes, and freezes to carve a kingdom out of the Florida swamp. In this volume, meet young Zech MacIvey, who learns to ride like the wind through the Florida scrub on Ishmael, his marshtackie horse, his dogs, Nip and Tuck, at this side. His parents, Tobias and Emma, scratch a living from the land, gathering wild cows from the swamp and herding them across the state to market. Zech learns the ways of the land from the Seminoles, with whom his life becomes entwined as he grows into manhood. Next in series > > See all of the books in this series
