Professor Green
It was never easy for Professor Green. Born into a tough Hackney estate and raised by his grandmother, the rapper was always learning the hard way--whether at school, on the streets of east London or during impromptu freestyling shows at friends' house parties. Indeed life and music have always been intertwined for the young rapper, but it wasn't until he was 18 that the two were brought into focus by the suicide of his father--and his emotions, ever since, have been reflected in the raw and often passionate line of his inspirational lyrics. In this wonderful autobiography, Professor Green a.k.a. Stephen Manderson reflects on his life so far and how his tough upbringing shaped the person and...
The Big Green Book

Jack makes the most of his new magic powers, and his poor old aunt and uncle are quite bewildered.

The Green Book
Leading Liberal Democrats and policy experts re-examine their political approach and propose a radical new direction for the party, setting the agenda for the next election and beyond. The Green Book cogently argues that a low-carbon economy and environmental investments are the best way to escape from sluggish growth, create new jobs and share prosperity. It is a clarion call for Liberal Democrats to treat the environmental crisis as a core challenge of economic policy, not a discrete problem. Policies that protect and enhance the natural world - on which our economy and society ultimately depend for our health, well-being and prosperity - should be the driving force behind the party's programme. Furthermore, green policies can provide a vital, clear and popular distinction between Liberal Democrats and Conservatives at the next election. The Green Book offers a challenge to current Liberal Democrat thinking - and stimulating reading to anyone who cares about the environment and the future of the British economy.

Laurence Coupe brings together a collection of extracts from a wide range of both historical and contemporary ecocritical texts.
Green Philosophy
The environment has long been the undisputed territory of the political Left, which has seen the principal threats to the earth as issuing from international capitalism, consumerism and the over-exploitation of natural resources. In Green Philosophy, Scruton argues that conservatism is far better suited to tackle environmental problems than either liberalism or socialism. He shows that rather than entrusting the environment to unwieldy NGOs and international committees, we must assume personal responsibility and foster local sovereignty. People must be empowered to take charge of their environment, to care for it as a home, and to affirm themselves through the kind of local associations that have been the traditional goal of conservative politics. Our common future is by no means assured, but as Roger Scruton clearly demonstrates in this important book, there is a path that we can take which could ensure the future safety of our planet and our species.
Green Books 1-11
When a wolf descends upon your flocks, all you gain by killing her is a short respite, for other wolves will come. If instead you feed the wolf and tame her and turn his pups into your guard dogs, they will protect the flocks when the pack comes ravening. Some scholars have suggested that the 10% regard all faiths as equally false, believing themselves to be more powerful than any god or goddess. They look upon priests and temples as relics of a more primitive time, though useful for placating slaves, savages, and the poor with promises of a better life to come. Moreover, a multiplicity of conscious groups helps to keep their subjects divided and lessened the chances of their uniting under one banner.
