This beautiful book looks at the interconnectedness of all living things in a typical English field. We learn about each species individually and how they all rely on each other for survival, taking away one species creates a disastrous domino effect. Gorgeous photographs are the icing on the cake in this must read for anyone interested in the preservation of life on our planet.

I am a huge fan of allotments and community gardens and the book shows how easy it is to garden – even if you have a black thumb as I do. There are some great concrete ideas in here on how to get food that you grew into your tummy - of course, you cannot grow everything in every garden depending upon where you live, but if you buy the ingredients at the local greengrocer, you can still enjoy them as the recipes are well written and understandable by cooks of all levels and the photos make the food very appealing to myself and other lovers of food out there. Even if you don’t grow your food, these recipes will be of great use to you.
