Food and Sustainability in the Twenty-First Century
Sustainability is one of the great problems facing food production today. Using cross-disciplinary perspectives from international scholars working in social, cultural and biological anthropology, ecology and environmental biology, this volume brings many new perspectives to the problems we face. Its cross-disciplinary framework of chapters with local, regional and continental perspectives provides a global outlook on sustainability issues. These case studies will appeal to those working in public sector agencies, NGOs, consultancies and other bodies focused on food security, human nutrition and environmental sustainability.
Life with the Lions
Ian Young played several seasons at Celtic Football Club in the '60s after signing from Neilston Waverley in 1961. During his time at the Club, the athletic, strong and tough-tackling full-back enjoyed league and cup success, and has often been credited in helping to turn the Club around by ending rivals Rangers' physical domination. Ian's name is warmly chanted in the famous Celtic song, Celtic, Celtic, That's the Team for Me' ('There's Fallon, Young and Gemmel...') He was also capped at Under-23 level for Scotland. Supporters and media reporters of that time say Ian's tackle on Rangers winger Willie Johnston in the League Cup final would spark the beginning of a Celtic team's ambition to m...
The Soil Underfoot
The largest part of the world's food comes from its soils, either directly from plants, or via animals fed on pastures and crops. Thus, it is necessary to maintain, and if possible, improve the quality-and hence good health-of soils, while enabling them to support the growing world population.

A Very Civil People
Some of John Lorne Campbell's best research and work was in his essays and shorter pieces. This is a collection of this material. The pieces are chosen not simply to reflect the range and diversity on which John Lorne's scholarship was brought to bear but also, through a number of occasional pieces, his observations on the people and the Hebrides of his day. The collection gives a picture of the man and his interests and a series of insights into figures as disparate as Compton Mackenzie and Father Allan Macdonald of Eriskay.

To be a Gay Man
In To Be a Gay Man, Will Young speaks out about gay shame, revealing the impact it had on his own life, how he learned to deal with it, and how he can now truthfully say he is gay and happy. We know Will as a multi-platinum recording artist, Olivier-nominee, and the first winner of the Idol franchise. But his story began long before his first audition. Looking back on a world where growing up being called gay was the ultimate insult and coming out after a lifetime of hiding his sexuality, Will explores the long-lasting impact repressing his true self has had. As Will’s own story demonstrates, internalised shame in childhood increases the risk of developing low self-worth, and even self-disgust, leading to destructive behaviours in adult life. Will revisits the darkest extremes he has been to, sharing his vulnerabilities, his regrets, tracing his own navigation through it all and showing the way for others who might have felt alone in the same experience. Here you will find a friend, champion and mentor, breaking taboos with frank honesty, and offering invaluable practical advice on overcoming the difficult issues too often faced within the LGBTQ+ community.
Kangaroo
This is in the same genre as Platypus and Koala . These are wonderful books about Australia's unique animals written for the general public. Social, anecdotal and historical with a very respectable scientific base. This is a logical and dare I say overdue addition to this group of books.
Whit
'Fierce contemporaneity, an acrobat imagination, social comment, sardonic wit... the peculiar sub-culture of cult religion is a natural for Banks' The Times A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing... Innocent in the ways of the world, an ingenue when it comes to pop and fashion, the Elect of God of a small but committed Stirlingshire religious cult, Isis Whit is no ordinary teenager. When her cousin Morag - Guest of Honour at the Luskentyrian's four-yearly Festival of Love - disappears after renouncing her faith, Isis is marked out to venture among the Unsaved and bring the apostate back into the fold. But the road to Babylondon (as Sister Angela puts it) is a treacherous one, particularly when Isis discovers that Morag appears to have embraced the ways of the Unsaved with spectacular abandon... Praise for Iain Banks: 'The most imaginative novelist of his generation' The Times 'His verve and talent will always be recognised, and his work will always find and enthral new readers' Ken MacLeod, Guardian 'His work was mordant, surreal, and fiercely intelligent' Neil Gaiman 'An exceptional wordsmith' Scotsman
