What you feed the soil, you feed yourself! In his riveting new book, Soil is Not A Dirty Word, Craig Castree shares urgent insights into the symbiotic relationships between plants and the microscopic worlds of bacteria and fungi that sustain them. This book will transform the way you see the ground beneath your feet. During his three-year dive down the rabbit hole to discover the shocking truths hidden in soil, Castree discovered that our understanding of soil has been fundamentally flawed for over 80 years. While soil might not be the typical topic of conversation, it’s time it became a priority. Modern agricultural practices promised increased productivity but have instead led to diminishing returns. Our topsoil—the thin layer that nourishes the planet—erodes at an alarming rate, and autoimmune diseases rise as the soil microbiome becomes more disconnected from plant and human microbiomes. Soil is Not A Dirty Word goes beyond just sounding the alarm, it offers a solution after solution to the problems most of us never knew we had with soil. With a regenerative approach that revitalises the soil, reduces reliance on chemical inputs, and restores its nutrient density, Castree’s strategies promise to revolutionise edible gardening, farming, and growing food plants. This isn’t just a manual for gardeners and farmers—this is a call to action for anyone concerned about our planet’s future, our health, and the legacy we leave for generations to come.

Inspirational accounts of veterans who have moved forward from mental and physical injuries toward healthier lives with the help of service dogs. Hundreds of thousands of military veterans seek treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) each year. Service dogs have been used for many years in the civilian sector to help their disabled owners perform necessary tasks in daily life; likewise, the organized use of therapy dogs to bring comfort and companionship to hospital and nursing-home patients dates back more than four decades. Reporting for Duty explores the unique and special bond between wounded warriors—especially those suffering from PTSD—and their service dogs and discusses the vital work of therapy dogs who visit VA hospitals and military rehabilitation facilities. Author Tracy Libby tells the true stories of disabled veterans who have been touched, assisted, and enriched by the dogs in their lives, and the new lease on life is reciprocal: many of these service and therapy dogs have been rescued from shelters and specially trained for their jobs. A portion of proceeds from the sale of this book will benefit a veterans’ service-dog organization.Inside Reporting for Duty . . .True stories of physically and mentally disabled veterans who count on service dogs for assistance with daily tasksAn explanation of PTSD and how it affects military veteransHow therapy dogs and service dogs are selected and trained for their jobsRescuing shelter dogs to train for therapy and service workHow the military is training dogs to accompany soldiers on deploymentsA look at the bond between people and dogs and the positive effects it has on bothShow book
It's my inherent belief that you are the only person on this earth who knows your body better than anyone else. Our bodies talk to us all day, every day, and we need to be listening to what they're saying. This is not a story about badmouthing general practitioners and ridiculing the medical fraternity. It's a centuries-old notion that doctors are healers and near to gods, but they are mere mortals and their expertise is limited. You should be taking control of and responsibility for your own health and wellbeing – pure and simple. In Doctors are not gods, Michelle Cox shares her very personal experiences of both her mother being medically mistreated and her own case of being misdiagnosed for months before needing emergency surgery for cervical cancer. With an attitude of learning from mistakes, Michelle asks what she herself could have done better in order to be the boss of her own health and wellbeing in future and stop handing over the power of something so important to others. This book is about creating a working relationship with your medical professionals to ensure you are responsible for your own health, especially in a world where the healthcare landscape is changing so rapidly.Show book
