	communities, councils and a low-carbon future: what we can do if governments won't Alexis Rowell includes current examples of best eco practice from local authorities across the UK and elsewhere, as well as a look at the background to unsuccessful projects. This book is designed to inform and inspire councils and councillors, as well as local environmental activists, community groups and Transition Initiatives. Local government can be a huge driver for positive change, but not on its own. Communities need to understand what they can reasonably (and unreasonably!) ask for from local councils, and they need to know exactly what levers they can pull. 216pp more on local groups Price: £14.95

	the urban handbook Elizabeth Agate This handbook is a comprehensive guide to practical environmental work in urban areas. Urban areas include habitats which are more diverse than those found in intensively farmed countryside. Parks, gardens, allotments, recreation areas, industrial sites, 'brownfield' land and school grounds have a huge potential for local community involvement. These are areas where people can come together to create the type of environment that they want, and put into action their own ideas on community gardens, recycling, safe play areas and other green issues. The Urban Handbook combines discussion of ways to promote local action with practical details on many of the skills needed to bring these ideas to fruition. 138pp more on local groups Price: £14.95

	farmers' markets: the uk potential Alan Chubb A Farmers' Market is one where local farmers and growers make up the majority of vendors. For a decade Farmers' Markets have been a big success in the USA. In Britain they could revolutionise the way we buy and sell our food. Buyers and sellers can have direct contact; retail costs and costs to the environment are greatly reduced; and customers can see exactly what they are getting. The Farmers' Market idea is simple, yet it effectively provides a solution to many social, economic and environmental problems. This book contains the research carried out by the Soil Association, covering the potential problems and important criteria of Farmers' Markets, a very good read for anyone interested in this field. click on image for contents page more on local groups Price: £5.00
