The vast majority of our country is entirely unknown to us because we are banned from setting foot on it. By law of trespass, we are excluded from 92 per cent of the land and 97 per cent of its waterways, blocked by walls whose legitimacy is rarely questioned. But behind them lies a story of enclosure, exploitation and dispossession of public rights whose effects last to this day. The Book of Trespass takes us on a journey over the walls of England, into the thousands of square miles of rivers, woodland, lakes and meadows that are blocked from public access. By trespassing the land of the media magnates, Lords, politicians and private corporations that own England, Nick Hayes argues that the root of social inequality is the uneven distribution of land. Weaving together the stories of poachers, vagabonds, gypsies, witches, hippies, ravers, ramblers, migrants and protestors, and charting acts of civil disobedience that challenge orthodox power at its heart, The Book of Trespass will transform the way you see the land

With exquisite woodcut illustrations throughout, this is both a love letter to nature and a call to action.

A mariner appears on a park bench and begins his tale...Cursed by an albatross he slew whilst hunting whales, the mariner and his crew find themselves stranded within the North Pacific Garbage Patch- a vast, hypoxic, slow-whirling maelstrom of plastic waste; a hidden repository for the world's litter. Along the way, he meets various characters of our current environmental tragedy- a lady made of oil, a deserted ghost-ship drilling barge, a 2-inch salp (the human race's oceanic ancestor), a blue whale and a hermit. Nostradamus, Cassandra, Medusa, Poseidon, Thor, Gaia, Al-Javari, Mephistopheles and a buzzard also make cameo appearances.

'A reckoning with our past and a vision for a new ecological future' Amy-Jane Beer 'Seeks to undo the damage of exclusionary ownership through the transformative power of belonging' Guy Shrubsole In May 2022, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences released a paper that measured fourteen European countries on three factors: biodiversity, wellbeing, and nature connectedness. Britain came last in every single category. The findings are clear. We are suffering, and nature is too.Enter 'Wild Service' - a visionary concept crafted by the pioneers of the Right to Roam campaign, which argues that humanity's loss and nature's need are two sides of the same story. Blending science, nature writing and indigenous philosophy, this groundbreaking book calls for mass reconnection to the land and a commitment to its restoration.In Wild Service we meet Britain's new nature defenders: an anarchic cast of guerilla guardians who neither own the places they protect, nor the permission to restore them. Still, they're doing it anyway. This book is a celebration of their spirit and a call for you to join. So, whether you live in the countryside or the city, want to protect your local river or save our native flora, this is your invitation to rediscover the power in participation - the sacred in your service.

Er kommt aus dem Büro, möchte nur eine Pause machen, auf einer Bank sein Sandwich essen und mit dem Blackberry spielen. Doch ihm ist keine Ruhe vergönnt. Der Angestellte wird gestört durch einen Fremden – einen Seemann, der eine Geschichte zu erzählen hat. 'Die Ballade von Seemann und Albatros' ist eine moderne Version der berühmten Ballade 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' von S. T. Coleridge. Bei Nick Hayes führt die fantastische Schiffsreise in eine Umweltkatastrophe: Nachdem der Seemann achtlos einen Albatros abgeschossen hat, gerät das Schiff in den nordpazifischen Müllwirbel; rachsüchtig verwandelt sich das Meer in ein Konfetti aus Plastik, Schraubverschlüssen, Styropor und Nylonnetzen. Die Crew ist empört: 'Du hast den Albatros getötet / und so das Meer empört, / das unserer ganzen Mannschaft / grausame Rache schwört!'. Der Seemann begreift, was der übertriebene menschliche Konsum angerichtet hat. Geläutert kehrt er zurück an Land, um die Menschen aufzuwecken. Wem wird der Großstadtmensch auf der Parkbank seine Aufmerksamkeit schenken: dem Seemann oder seinem Blackberry? Eines steht fest: Diese Ballade bleibt dem Leser im Gedächtnis. Unheimlich, rhythmisch und klug, greift das kunstvoll gestaltete Werk eines der brisantesten Themen unserer Zeit auf und zeigt, dass innere Werte und äußere Schönheit im Einklang stehen können.

Ilustrovaný životopis Arthura Rimbauda, básníka, tuláka a dobrodruha, vychází z textu jeho nejznámější básně Opilý koráb.
