Scorched
Takes on a journey through southern Africa's mesmerising landscapes as climate change sets in. This title marvels at the world in which we live: the improbable balance of the air round us and the way it banks away the Sun's energy to keep us warm and thriving. It also ponders the morality of the changes humankind has wrought.
Boiling Point
Explores the lives of South Africans affected by climate change such as: a rooibos tea farmer in the Northern Cape, a traditional fisherman on the West Coast, and a farmer in the centre of the Free State's maize belt. This book considers what might happen to them as normal weather trends are amplified in a hotter world.
Oranjezicht City Farm
In 2012, a few volunteers took a neglected piece of land that was a sterile bowling green on the edge of the Cape Town inner city, and turned it into a productive urban food garden. Today the Oranjezicht City Farm has become so much more than that with food growing becoming a way to realise a much wider vision. This small educational non-profit project has hosted thousands of school children, and through its weekly farmer's market supports numerous small, local farmers, dozens of artisanal food purveyors and the hundreds of jobs they provide. Oranjezicht City Farm: Food Community Connection, tries to capture some of the stories about how this farm, and all the activities around it, came to be.
Day Zero
"The three-year drought that hit Cape Town was the local expression of the global climate change emergency. It shows what happens when the normal demands of running a city, with its many development challenges, collide with a climate 'shock' like this one. The lessons learned from how the City and its residents responded are relevant globally, as major cities around the world face growing populations and ever-shrinking resources in the face of a changing climate."--Back cover.
Invaded
"[Book title] is about biological pollution -- the plants and animals that have spread around the globe on the back of human movement, those that have traversed the boundaries of natural habitats and have begun to erode their new adopted environment."--Back cover.

In the Land of the Romanovs
Over the course of more than three centuries of Romanov rule in Russia, foreign visitors and residents produced a vast corpus of literature conveying their experiences and impressions of the country. The product of years of painstaking research by one of the world’s foremost authorities on Anglo-Russian relations, In the Lands of the Romanovs is the realization of a major bibliographical project that records the details of over 1200 English-language accounts of the Russian Empire. Ranging chronologically from the accession of Mikhail Fedorovich in 1613 to the abdication of Nicholas II in 1917, this is the most comprehensive bibliography of first-hand accounts of Russia ever to be published...
