ON GALLOWS DOWN Place, Protest and Belonging
Nicola Chester
Shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize 2022 for UK Nature Writing Winner of the Richard Jefferies Award 2021 for nature writing As a child growing up in rural England, Nicola was inexorably drawn to the natural landscape surrounding her. Walking, listening and breathing in the nature around her, she followed the call of the cuckoo, the song of the nightingale and watched as red kites, fieldfares and skylarks soared through the endless skies. In On Gallows Down, Nicola bears witness to, and fights against, the stark political and environmental changes imposed on the land she loves, whilst raising her family to appreciate nature and to feel like they belong. 2 CHELSEA GREEN PUBLISHING UK
From protesting the loss of ancient trees to the rewilding of Greenham Common, to living in the shadow of Highclere Castle (made famous in Downton Abbey), On Gallows Down shows how one woman made sense of her world – and found her place in it. Nicola Chester’s clarion call to nature conservation was first recognised when she won the BBC Wildlife Magazine’s Nature Writer of the Year Award in 2003. She has written a regular column for the RSPB members’ magazine, Nature’s Home and she is also a Guardian Country Diarist. Her writing features in several anthologies, including all four Seasons books, edited by Melissa Harrison, the new Red Sixty Seven book and Women on Nature, edited by Katharine Norbury.

WHAT REMAINS?
Life, Death and the Human Art of Undertaking
Rupert Callender
When he became an undertaker, Rupert Callender undertook to deal with the dead for the sake of the living. What Remains? is the unforgettable story of the life and work of a pioneering undertaker – but it is also a book about ordinary, everyday humanity and our capacity to face death with courage and compassion. To say goodbye to the people we love in our own way. From his unresolved grief for his parents and his cultural ancestors to political and religious non-conformists, social outlaws, experimental pioneers and acid house culture, Ru Callender has taken an outsider ‘DIY’ ethos to help people navigate grief and death. What Remains? is a deeply moving book that will change the way readers think about life, death and the allimportant end-of-life experience.
As Ru memorably says, ‘Death has shown me unimaginable horror, the unbreakable core of love and courage that lies at the heart of what it means to be human.’ Rupert Callender was moved to become an undertaker through his experience of bereavement and its aftermath. He opened the Green Funeral Company with Claire in 2000, and the company is now among the country’s best-known eco-friendly funeral directors. In 2021 Claire left the company and Rupert continues with a new colleague. Callender, Phillips, Cauty & Drummond, Undertakers to the Underworld was established as a partnership between the Green Funeral Company and The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu (KLF) in 2017.

With the Miyawaki method, tiny forests as small as six parking spaces grow quickly and are more biodiverse than those planted by conventional methods. Lewis explores the science behind why Miyawaki-style mini-forests work and the myriad environmental benefits, including: cooling urban heat islands, establishing wildlife corridors, building soil health, sequestering carbon, creating pollinator habitats, and more.
Hannah Lewis is the editor of Compendium of Scientific and Practical Findings Supporting Eco-Restoration to Address Global Warming, published by Biodiversity for a Livable Climate (BLC), a nonprofit environmental organisation based in Cambridge, MA. Born and raised in the Minneapolis, Minnesota, she lived in France with her partner and their two children during the writing of this book.

THE SEED DETECTIVE
Uncovering the Secret Histories of Remarkable Vegetablest
Adam Alexander, Foreword by Professor Tim Lang Meet the Indiana Jones of vegetables and join him on his quest to save our heritage produce. Adam Alexander is the seed detective. His passion for vegetables was ignited when he tasted an unusual sweet pepper with a fiery heart while on a film-making project in Ukraine. Smitten by its flavour, Adam began to seek out local growers of endangered heritage and heirloom varieties in a mission to take home seeds to grow and share so that he could enjoy their delicious taste – and save them from being lost forever. In The Seed Detective, Adam shares his own stories of seed hunting and takes us on a journey that began when we left the life of the huntergatherer to become farmers. He tells tales of globalisation, political intrigue, colonisation and
serendipity – describing how these vegetables and their travels have become embedded in our food cultures. Adam Alexander is a consummate storyteller thanks to forty years as an award-winning film and television producer, but his true passion is collecting rare, endangered and delicious vegetables from around the world. He lectures widely on his work and is a board member of the national charity Garden Organic, and he is also a seed guardian for the Heritage Seed Library. He has appeared on Gardeners’ World and the Great British Food Revival, CNN’s Going Green and Radio New Zealand.

Stephanie Seneff, PhD
In Toxic Legacy, MIT senior research scientist Stephanie Seneff presents compelling evidence based on countless published, peer-reviewed studies that glyphosate (the world’s most common weedkiller) is harming our health and the environment.

The Story of One Man’s Quest to Rewild Britain’s Waterways
Derek Gow Foreword by Isabella Tree
BIRDS, BEASTS AND BEDLAM
Turning My Farm into an Ark for Lost Species
Derek Gow
‘The radical rewilder.’ The Times As seen on BBC One’s ‘The One Show’ Bringing Back the Beaver is farmer-turnedecologist Derek Gow’s inspirational and funny first-hand account of how rewilding beavers into the British landscape became the single most dramatic and subversive nature conservation act of the modern era. Bringing Back the Beaver makes a passionate case as to why the return of one of nature’s great problem solvers will be critical as part of a sustainable fix for the UK’s growing flooding problems, whilst allowing Britain’s wildlife to thrive.
Birds, Beasts and Bedlam recounts the adventures of ‘maverick’ rewilder Derek Gow, on his lifelong mission to save Britain’s much-loved, but dangerously threatened species. A natural successor to Gerald Durrell’s A Zoo in My Luggage, Birds, Beasts and Bedlam tells of Derek’s rewilding journey and his work to save species by transforming his farm into a wildlife breeding centre. Tearing down fences literally and metaphorically, Derek has the character and strength of will to defy authority, bend the rules – and save our wildlife.

GOING TO SEED
A Counterculture Memoir
Simon Fairlie
‘...the most influential – and unusual – eco-activist you might not have heard of.’ The Observer
OUR WILD FARMING LIFE Adventures on a Scottish Highland Croft
Lynn Cassells & Sandra Baer Rated 5 stars by The Telegraph
Going to Seed is Simon Fairlie’s unforgettable first-hand account of how the 1960s hippie movement, seemingly spent by the Thatcherdominated 1980s, went on to become a seedbed for progressive reform, inspiring even more rebels and visionaries. Part memoir, part social critique, Fairlie questions the current trajectory of Western ‘progress’ – and the explosive consumerism, growing inequality, and environmental devastation laid bare in our daily newsfeeds.
Lynn and Sandra left friends, family and jobs in England and travelled north to find a small piece of land they could call their own. They had no money, no plan and no farming experience. They thought they would keep a few chickens, a kitchen garden and rent out some camping space, but instead they fell in love with Lynbreck Croft – 150 acres of wild Scottish Highlands filled with opportunity and beauty, shrouded by the Cairngorm mountains. Honest, uplifting and often funny, Our Wild Farming Life is for anyone who has dreamed of a life on the land.

Sir Quentin Blake ‘Rob Hopkins puts imagination back at the heart of future-dreaming, offering us an irresistible invitation to dream bigger and then make those dreams a reality.’ Kate Raworth Rob Hopkins asks the most important question that society has somehow forgotten ‘What If?’, and explores what we must do to revive and replenish our collective imagination.
