Dry stone walls the thousands of miles of stone ribbon stretching across the landscapes of the Scottish Highlands, Yorkshire Dales and Cotswolds use construction methods which have existed for thousands of years. Indeed, dry stone structures in the Orkney Islands and Ireland are even older than the Egyptian pyramids. A dry stone wall is more than a pile of rocks. It is a carefully built combination of specialized stones, each co-operating with the other to create something useful, strong and attractive. No mortar is used. The wall relies on friction and gravity, and the skill of the builder, to keep it together. The basic building principles are easily learned and this book provides step-by-step instructions to develop the skills to build many different types of wall and structure. With nearly 200 photographs and diagrams,

Written by hobby farmer Cherie Langlois from Washington state, Ducks is a fantastic overview of these entertaining and adaptable waterfowl. The author begins by asking "What do these water-crazy birds have that make them as much an asset to farms as landlubbing poultry?" She provides many answers that defend the virtues and versatility of ducks and argues that the duck is superior to the ubiquitous chicken in many ways. As a zoologist, Langlois has a gift for elucidating the details of the waterfowls anatomy, traits and behavior, all revealed in the first chapter "Meet the Duck." She proceeds by leading readers through the process of choosing the right ducks for their hobby farm, considering the various domestic breeds (from bantams to heavyweights) as well as the sex of the birds and number of birds/breeds ideal for beginning a hobby-farm flock. The book offers advice on housing these very adaptable birds that thrive in various climates and regions throughout the world: space requirements, ventilation, flooring, feeders, and fencing. Naturally, ducks need water to thrive in the form of an existing lake, a manmade pond or simple duck pools, all discussed in the housing chapter. "The Duck Diet" chapter discusses the nutritional needs of the flock and various feeding options farmers and ranchers can consider. Seasoned duck aficionados interested in getting into the business of ducklings will find much information in the breeding chapter, which catalogs methods for hatching, incubators, mama duck and baby care, and more. The health of livestock is always a major consideration for the hobby farmer, and the chapter "Flock Health and Handling" offers a mini course in disease prevention, proper hygiene, recognizing symptoms of illnesses, and dealing with common maladies. The advantages of duck farmingthe superior quality of duck eggs, down, and meat--are the focal point of the final chapter "Harvesting the Rewards," likely the first chapter the dubious duck farmer will read prior to taking the dive into ducks. The book concludes with appendices of endangered duck breeds and duck diseases, resources, a glossary of terms, and a complete index.

Anchored in the diverse ecological practices of communities in southern Italy and Aotearoa/New Zealand, this book devises a unique and considered theoretical response to the shortcomings of global politics in the Ecocenea new temporal epoch characterised by the increasingly frequent intrusion of ecological processes into political life.Dismantling the use of the term Anthropocene as a descriptor for our current ecological and political paradigm, this bold and resolutely original contribution proposes a restorative ethics of mutualism. An emancipatory theory intended to re-invigorate human agency in the face of contemporary ecological challenges, it posits an effective means to combat the environmental destruction engendered by modernity.Using ecology alongside European moral and M?ori philosophies to re-conceptualise the ecological remit of politics, this books granular approach questions the role played by contemporary political ontologies in the separation of humans and environments, offering an in-depth view of their renewed interrelation under mutualism.Ecocene Politics will be essential to researchers and students in the fields of politics, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, and geography. It will be of further interest to those working in the fields of political ecology, environmental humanities, and Anthropocene studies, as well as to general readers seeking a theoretical approach to the political issues posed by current ecological crises.

Tra le cose che la societa moderna ha danneggiato ce sicuramente il pensiero. Sfortunatamente, una delle idee piu danneggiate e proprio quella di Natura. Come siamo arrivati a considerare quella che chiamiamo Natura come un semplice oggetto che sta li da qualche parte? Dobbiamo per forza affidarci a teorie nuove e aggiornate, che poi ripropongono lo stesso concetto, solo in una versione piu sofisticata e alla moda? Quando capisci che tutto e interconnesso, non puoi piu aggrapparti allidea di Natura intesa come oggetto solido e unitario: smette di essere una semplice-presenza che se ne sta li, fuori di te. Timothy Morton

Non vi e piu scampo alla crisi climatica. Tra le nebbie del collasso ecologico ed ecosistemico fa il suo ritorno la categoria piu abusata e detestata dellepoca moderna, quella di natura. Una natura corrotta e indifferente, attraversata da forze distruttive e spettri vendicativi, ben lontana dagli scenari bucolici ai quali lo sguardo poetico e lambientalismo ingenuo ci hanno abituati. Un orizzonte nel quale lottimismo e malafede, e il volontarismo pura follia. Nella cornice di tale decostruzione, tanto simbolica quanto materiale, della specie umana, il pessimismo appare lunico atteggiamento adatto a descrivere, definire e narrare il presente, nonche il futuro che da esso procede. Dal folk horror allaccelerazione tecnologica, dai movimenti per lestinzione umana al prepperism e al survivalismo, lAntropocene, lera delluomo, si rivela, a ben vedere, come lera della fine delluomo e del suo dominio sulla natura.
