The "Guardian" Cryptic Crosswords Setters Series

Hugh Stephenson

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?
