Beyond what we already know about "food miles" and eating locally, the global food system is a major contributor to climate change, producing as much as one-third of greenhouse gas emissions. How we farm, what we eat, and how our food gets to the table all have an impact. And our government and the food industry are willfully ignoring the issue rather than addressing it. In Anna Lapp's controversial new book, she predicts that unless we radically shift the trends of what food we're eating and how we're producing it, food-system-related greenhouse gas emissions will go up and up and up.

Trentasette milioni di anni fa, la rosa compare sulla terra. L'hanno rivelato i fossili ritrovati in Oregon e in Colorado confermandoci che in tempi preistorici crescevano specie diverse di rose, le stesse presenti ancora oggi nell'emisfero settentrionale. La storia del fiore, dalla sua genesi a tutto il Settecento, è un'introduzione al cuore del libro di Anna Peyron, che comincia con una data precisa: il 21 aprile 1799, quando Marie Joseph Rose Tascher de La Pagerie, nata in Martinica in una famiglia creola di coloni bianchi francesi, compra una tenuta circondata da un parco.

In Time on Rock Anna Fleming charts two parallel journeys: learning the craft of traditional rock climbing, and the new developing appreciation of the natural world it brings her. Through the story of her progress from terrified beginner to confident lead climber she shows us how placing hand and foot on rock becomes a profound new way into the landscape. Anna takes us from the gritstone rocks of the Peak District and Yorkshire to the gabbro pinnacles of the Cullin, the slate of North Wales and the high plateau of the Cairngorms.

In this dazzling piece of reportage, Anna Krien investigates the contemporary animal kingdom and our place in it. From pets to food, from wildness to science experiments, Krien also reveals how animals are faring in this new world order. Examples range from the joyful to the deeply unsettling. As Krien delves deeper, she finds that animals can trigger primal emotions in us, which we are often not willing to acknowledge. "Us and Them" is a clear-eyed look at how we do - and should - treat animals.
