Biology and Captive Management

From the enclosures in seventeenth-century England to the food forests in modern Amsterdam, this is a big history of little spaces, of nature in urban life, and of gardeners and their gardens through time In the heart of bustling European and American cities lies an overlooked yet vibrant corner of resilience, ingenuity and magic: our gardens. From pre-Industrial England to modern-day Washington, via the Paris Commune, Barrackia in pre-war Berlin, Soviet allotments in Estonia, the orchards tended by Black migrants in Washington and food forests in contemporary Amsterdam, ordinary people, working with each other and with nature, cultivated life in the unlikeliest of places. Over the past three hundred years, these tiny gardens, often born from necessity and shaped by precarity, immigration and environmental crisis, thrived by recycling nutrients, remedying contaminated soil and transforming how we think about our relationship to the earth. Tiny Gardens Everywhere is a hymn to the most fertile agriculture in recorded human history, showing that it occurred not on farms - the product of gigantic exertions of fossil fuels and technology - but with little effort in small garden beds. And the resourcefulness, intuition and inherited methods of their growers accomplished many of today's sustainability goals in producing local, diverse and organic food. Acclaimed historian Kate Brown unearths the long and battered story of gardeners and their gardens, asking what happens when these urban Edens are not seen as retreats from the city but become part of its social fabric, alive with histories of displacement, conflict and resistance. This is a book about land, but also about community, repair and the quiet revolutions that begin when someone plants a seed in unloved ground.

Studies in Comparative Energy and Environmental Politics

In an era of intensified geopolitics and of national-level political gridlock, subnational governments can potentially play an essential role in combating global climate change. Can subnational governments introduce and sustain climate policy actions through changes in political leadership? Why are some local areas doing better than others in delivering on their climate goals?

'Fascinating' Observer'Engrossing' i News'Elegant' Sunday Telegraph'Profound and poignant' Sunday Post'Remarkable and complex' George McGavinA memoir and investigation exploring loss, community and the climate crisis in the Shetland Islands by environmental journalist Marianne Brown.How do we balance our needs with the needs of the natural world around us?How can we have nuanced conversations and debate in a time of extreme activism or extreme denial?How can we begin to understand the complexities of a subject as enormous as climate change?And how can we change the way we live to save our lives?This is one woman's story of how her quest to make peace with her father's death brought her straight to the heart of a challenging debate about how we save the planet.When Marianne Brown arrived in Voe, Shetland, to attend the funeral of her father, she had packed enough clothes to last a short trip. But this was February 2020, just weeks before the UK's first lockdown, and she would be unable to leave for another six months.Shetland is a place bound together by community, history and culture. But when a huge windfarm is greenlit to export energy to mainland Scotland, it creates rifts between neighbours, friends and even families. One side supports the benefit to a planet spiralling into climate disaster; the other challenges the impact on an environment with an already struggling wildlife population.As an environmental journalist, Marianne is drawn to investigate this story of sustainable energy that is irrevocably tied to her grief. But nothing is ever straightforward, and she soon finds herself on a transformative journey into the heart of a debate that mirrors global concerns about how we save the planet.

Life Is In Your Hands

In How Flowers Made Our World, biologist David Haskell redefines our understanding of flowers, casting them as powerful revolutionaries at the heart of Earth's story. Far from being mere ornaments, flowers have shaped the very fabric of life on our planet. When they first evolved, they triggered a cascade of biodiversity, transforming oceans, creating new habitats, and even altering the climate. Their beauty turned adversaries into allies, and their adaptability turned environmental upheavals into opportunities for renewal. Haskell shows how flowers have built and sustained ecosystems from rainforests to prairies, and how they have been pivotal in the evolution of species like butterflies, bees, and birds. Flowers also played a crucial role in human history, grasses calling to our ancestors to leave the trees and laying the foundation for agriculture and modern civilization. Through vivid storytelling and profound insights, Haskell reveals flowers as portals into deep time and essential players in our ecological future. How Flowers Made Our World invites readers to see these delicate blooms in a new light-as the dynamic and influential forces they truly are.
