What if you could eat as much as you wanted, all day every day, and never gain weight? No gimmicks, nothing unsafe. And what if it was among the easiest things you've ever done? Think about it. Why do you give up on the latest diet? Because you're often, if not always, hungry. There's some complicated meal plan or point system or set of recipes you have to follow. My plan is simple. I eat what's good for me--and yes, I cleared the list with my doctor--and nothing else. Grocery shopping? Easy! Menu planning? A snap!

Saint Domingue (current-day Haiti), 1792: Rose Fongravier is a young widow struggling to manage her crumbling coffee plantation. Early one morning she discovers a body at the bottom of her garden: An accident, a personal vendetta, or - God forbid - the start of another slave revolt? Set over the course of one day against a backdrop of growing unrest in the French colony, the murder and its aftermath are seen through the eyes of a cross-section of the plantation's inhabitants: each has a different understanding of who is at fault and who should be held responsible. As the day draws to an end and events reach a crescendo, different tragedies emerge and no one will escape unscathed. Based on actual events and inspired by the surviving plantation records of an historical family, APRICOTS is a taut, atmospheric thriller that examines how the great events of the outside world shape and in turn are shaped by smaller, more intimate concerns and tragedies.

Forage in Summer is a celebration of the top fifteen edible and medicinal wild plants found in June, July and August. It’s a comprehensive exploration into their past and present uses as food and medicine, including their forgotten folklore. 
An invaluable addition to any forager, herbalist, gardener, horticulturist or naturalist’s library, providing plant-lovers with a much-needed resource to understanding nature’s most useful wild plants. 
It covers bramble, burdock, chickweed, elder, fat hen, lime/linden, mallow, meadowsweet, mugwort, oxeye daisy, rosebay willowherb, samphire, sea aster, selfheal and yarrow. 
Inside this comprehensive reference, you’ll: Discover the traditional and contemporary food and medicine uses of wild plants. Learn their folklore and stories. Includes delicious recipes. Each plant is beautifully illustrated with a black and white Victorian botanical print. Know which part of the plant to use. When the best time to harvest is. Nutritional profiles for each plant are covered. Safety notes – what you need to know if pregnant or on medication. 
Plants have stories, stories that reconnect us to the Land and the rest of Nature. 
As our society evermore disconnects, there is a revivalist movement flourishing like a rhizome. This ancient path of the forager reconnects us to the vital, to wildness, to creation, to what is in effect the very pulse of life itself. 
One of the most direct ways to experience this is to consume this wildness. Take it into our bodies, where like a sleeper agent, it lies dormant until you have eaten enough to change the structure of your blood, thereby changing your brain and how you relate to the non-human world. 
For it is this simple act. The act of taking wild food and medicine into our body, that in time becomes so transformative. 
Forage in Summer is not a harking back to some naive, romantic vision of how we might once have lived. Instead, these plants’ stories are a way to help you sense into the future and understand our ecological function (as a species) within the world.\nABOUT THE AUTHORRobin Harford is a forager, ethnobotanical researcher and wild food educator.
