From ancient times, through to the Romantic poets and beyond, we have been aware of the healing power of nature. Moments with nature provide inner calm and happiness. This is a truth that we intuitively understand, and yet it is one we often fail to explore in our busy, technology-driven lives. In ‘The Blackbird’s Song’, Professor Miles Richardson offers a month-by-month guide to activities that anyone can do to better connect with the natural world, along with the related science showing how nature can impact on our health – make us smarter, lower our blood pressure, reduce anxiety and balance our hormones.

Inspired by a traditional Japanese calendar which divides the year into segments of four to five days, this book guides you through a year of 72 seasons as they manifest in the British Isles. From ‘Snowdrops emerge’ in the first days of January to ‘Tree skeletons and sky’ at the close of the year, each fleeting season is epitomized by some natural phenomenon, be it a plant coming into bud, a burst of birdsong, or a cobweb spangled by dew.

As a self-described à bird-noticer’, Carry’s work reveals her keen observation of birds and their behaviour and her lifelong love of the landscapes they frequent.

Tom Michell is in his roaring 20s: single, free-spirited and seeking adventure. He has a plane ticket to South America, a teaching position in a prestigious Argentinian boarding school and endless summer holidays. He even has a motorbike! What he doesn’t need is a pet. What he really doesn’t need is a pet penguin. Set against Argentina’s turbulent years, following the collapse of the corrupt Perónist regime, this is the heart-warming story of Juan Salvador the penguin, rescued by Tom from an oil slick in Uruguay just days before a new term. When the bird refuses to leave Tom’s side, he has no choice but to smuggle it through customs, across the border and back to school, where it soon transforms the lives of all they meet.
