Crucial to the understanding of breakdown and transition are analyses of changes within the internal relations of national elites. In this book, the authors define and detail the political elites under state socialism, showing how the elites under Gorbachev were profoundly fragmented. They further reveal how, with the maturation of state socialism, new class interests arose which were cultivated by, and in turn influenced, the Gorbachev leadership. The authors put forth the argument that these class interests are strongly represented in today’s political "settlement" in Russia. They consider various interpretations of what has led to Russia’s current condition, including the idea that "executive" capital is more important than political capital and has been reproduced in the transition from communism.

Growing plants and (if we are lucky enough) creating gardens is deeply rewarding, but has also been proven to be vital for our health.\nGardening helps improve our mood, relax us, take us away from our everyday problems, and promote positive emotions. It reduces anxiety and stress, delays in the onset of dementia, promotes joy, as well as improving physical health and even self-esteem.\nThis new book explores the ways we can introduce plants into our lives and thus embrace some of the benefits the natural world provides for our well-being. Divided into 50 sections, each one highlights a plant-based activity, how this is good for your health and provides links to the underlying concept that supports health and well-being.\nWritten by a leading scientific authority on environmental horticulture, this unique book will offer readers a wealth of ideas on planting and growing as well as explaining the latest science research behind those ideas.
