Rowman & Littlefield The Interrupted Forest: A History of Maine's
Book SynopsisAdd to this the thousands of farms that have grown back to woods since the Civil War, and you have the most forested state, by percentage, in the United States. But the “uninterrupted forest” that Henry David Thoreau first saw in the 1840s was never exactly that. Loggers had cut it severely, European settlers had gnawed into it, and, much earlier, native people had left their mark. This book takes you deep into the past to understand the present, allowing you to hear the stories of the people and events that have shaped the woods and made them what they are today.

Oneworld Publications The Poppy: A History of Conflict, Loss,
Book SynopsisThe definitive history of the ever-enduring icon In the aftermath of the horrific trench warfare of the First World War, the poppy – sprouting across the killing fields of France and Belgium, then immortalized in John McCrae’s moving poem – became a worldwide icon. Yet the poppy has a longer history, as the tell-tale sign of human cultivation of the land, of the ravages of war, and of the desire to escape the earthly realm through opium dreams or morphine drips. From the ancient Egyptian fights over prized potions to the addicts of the American Civil War, to the British entanglements in the Opium Wars with China and the struggle to end Afghanistan’s tribal narcotics trade, there is the poppy.Trade Review‘Brilliantly researched and told… a saga with many surprising twists and turns’ -- Sir Roy Strong * The Garden *'Saunders movingly presents the poppy in its beauty, its tragedy and its healing power as a potent symbol every year in our national and global remembrance of loss.' * Saga Magazine *

Grosvenor House Publishing Ltd A River Avon Year: The Wildlife and History of 'Shakespeare's Avon'. A journey through the year from source to Severn.
Book SynopsisThis is a book about a river; its wildlife, history and folklore, and the remarkable people who have lived in the communities that have grown up on its banks. The river is the Warwickshire Avon, known as Shakespeare's Avon, that runs 88 miles from its source in Naseby to Tewkesbury where it joins the Severn. The river flows like an artery through the heart of England, and in days gone by its waters have often run red with blood as vicious battles for the crown have played out on its banks, key moments in British history often dramatised by the Bard of Stratford. The author follows a waymarked path along the Avon valley - The Shakespeare Avon Way - describing a short section each month, with the landscape and nature changing with the months. Along the way there are ruined abbeys, castles, medieval bridges, nature reserves, fossil remains and a host of human stories from the towns and villages that have flourished at ancient crossing points. The writer sets himself an ambitious target for the number of different birds he can identify during the year, and reflects on the various threats to our natural environment, not least the growing impacts of climate change. The physical and mental benefits of walking in a natural setting, particularly by a river, are now well established, and were particularly valuable during the worst period of the pandemic. Research shows that a walk in the countryside cheers you up; this book will certainly cheer the reader as it takes you on a delightful English journey, with keen observation, a wealth of information, and a host of fascinating stories.Trade ReviewFull of fascinating stories and descriptions of the wildlife to be found along the river that runs like an artery through the heart of England - David Kelham, High Sheriff of Warwickshire. It's like taking a walk with a knowledgeable friend. The narrative weaves its way with the river, revealing insights into history, landscape and nature. And the illustrations are lovely - Penny Dale, Author and Illustrator. A beautiful book about English nature and history, written in a witty and accessible style - Nic Hallam, British Birds.
