back garden seed saving back garden seed saving
Sue Stickland

Sustainable gardening is not only about how you grow but also what you grow. The latest strains of runner beans may give you long stringless pods, but will they crop well on a cold, windswept site? Dwarf peas may be the easiest to grow commercially but you will still find the six foot types in many gardens because they look attractive, crop for longer and taste like peas used to taste. Whatever the benefits of modern hybrids, old varieties still have much to offer gardeners.

In this delightful and practical book top gardening writer Sue Stickland gives easy to follow crop-by-crop guidelines to help you save seed for yourself and varieties to look out for. It introduces you to some of the gardeners who grow such varieties, their tales and tips, and their infectious enthusiasm. 200pp

seeds of destruction: the hidden agenda of genetic manipulation seeds of destruction: the hidden agenda of genetic manipulation
F William Engdahl

This skilfully researched book focuses on how a small socio-political American elite seeks to establish its control over the very basis of human survival, the provision of our daily bread. 'Control the food and you control the people'. This is no ordinary book about the perils of GMO.

Engdahl takes the reader inside the corridors of power, into the backrooms of the science labs, behind closed doors in the corporate boardrooms. The author reveals a World of profit-driven political intrigue, government corruption and coercion, where genetic manipulation and the patenting of life forms are used to gain world-wide control over food production. The book is an eye-opener, a must-read for all those committed to the causes of social justice and World peace. 341pp
