As this collection of comical pieces from the "Guardian" demonstrates, Tim Dowling is more or less incapable of engaging with the world head on.Dealing with everything from television and the Royal family to identity theft and chimpanzee rights, he retains a knack for wringing humour from events which are seemingly beyond parody, in a style characterised by his natural and all-encompassing paranoia. "I've seen the future," he says. "And it sucks."

Over the course of a year, Dominic Murphy helped his local school create a beautiful and productive garden that supplied the kitchen with vegetables and the children with flowers to take home. Starting out with a battered polytunnel and two patches of waterlogged clay, Dominic records the setbacks, small triumphs and corners cut as he got the gardening club off the ground. The result is a unique and practical guide to getting everything flowering and ready to harvest before the school holidays. Never has a book been more timely, aiming to inspire young people to get gardening - whether at home or at school, with their parents, teachers or both. Together with suggestions for outdoor-related activities and projects to bring gardening into the classroom, this book gives every incentive for children to get more active at school. And what's more, if they've grown it, they're more likely to eat it...

“If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left.” –Albert Einstein A third of all that we eat, and much of what we wear, relies on pollination by honeybees. So if — or when — the world loses its black-and-yellow workers, the consequences will be dire. What is behind this catastrophe? Viruses, parasites, pesticides and climate change have all been blamed, as has modern monoculture agribusiness. In this timely book, two keen amateur apiarists investigate all the claims and counterclaims with the help of scientists and beekeepers in Europe, America and elsewhere. They ask the question that will soon be on everyone’s lips: Is there any possible way of saving the honeybees — and with them, the world as we know it?

When hundreds gathered in 1970 for the UK's first women's liberation conference, a movement that had been gathering strength for years burst into a frenzy of radical action that was to transform the way we think, act and live. In the 40 years since then, the feminist movement has won triumphs and endured trials, but it has never weakened its resolve, nor for a moment been dull. "The Guardian" has followed its progress throughout, carrying interviews with and articles by the major figures, chronicling with verve, wit and often passionate anger the arguments surrounding pornography, prostitution, political representation, power, pay, parental rights, abortion rights, domestic chores and domestic violence. These are articles that, in essence, ask two fundamental questions: Who are we? Who should we be? This collection brings together - for the first time - the very best of the "Guardian"'s feminist writing. It includes the newspaper's pioneering women's editor, Mary Stott, writing about Margaret Thatcher, Beatrix Campbell on Princess Diana, Suzanne Moore interviewing Camille Paglia, and Maya Jaggi interviewing Oprah Winfrey; there's Jill Tweedie on why feminists need to be vocal and angry, Polly Toynbee on violence against women, Hannah Pool on black women and political power, and Andrea Dworkin writing with incendiary energy about the Bill Clinton sex scandal. Lively, provocative, thoughtful and funny, this is the essential guide to the feminist thinking and writing of the past 40 years - the ultimate portrait of an ongoing revolution.

It was the biggest leak in history. WikiLeaks infuriated the world's greatest superpower, embarrassed the British royal family and helped cause a revolution in Africa. The man behind it was Julian Assange, one of the strangest figures ever to become a worldwide celebrity. Was he an internet messiah or a cyber-terrorist? Information freedom fighter or sex criminal? The debate would echo around the globe as US politicians called for his assassination. Award-winning "Guardian" journalists David Leigh and Luke Harding have been at the centre of a unique publishing drama that involved the release of some 250,000 secret diplomatic cables and classified files from the Afghan and Iraq wars. At one point the platinum-haired hacker was hiding from the CIA in David Leigh's London house. Now, together with the paper's investigative reporting team, Leigh and Harding reveal the startling inside story of the man and the leak.
