In a fast-paced world with mega upheaval, including climate crises and a global pandemic, the allure of growing your own food, being self-sufficient, and living green is immense. This yearning for not being wholly reliant on the supermarket, and the growing concerns over pesticides and food miles has led to the resurgence in seeking old-world skills. As showcased in Urban Homesteads, the benefits of a productive garden on your doorstep or within arm's reach, tending to chickens, harvesting your own honey, and using eco-friendly water-harvesting techniques are clear: fresh herbs, vegetables, and fruit on tap, fresh eggs, delicious honey; plus living at a slower pace, better value for money, and a more soothing and mindful existence. Of course, a healthy garden and environment also attracts beneficial insects and birds. Get inspired with this book's range of eco-friendly possibilities from around the globe. With beautiful full-colour photos, gathered here are stories of people who have set up their own productive and abundant back yard or patio, as well as examples of great vertical planters, indoor gardens, and those who have reached into the urban community allotment. Use this book to start your own journey with an urban homestead lifestyle, with lots of generous tips, modern green concepts as well as a twist of modern, technically savvy know-how. All the practical guidance you need on how to be the change you want to see.

Images are everywhere. They are displayed in streets. They are leafed through in magazines. They jump out of our screens. And what we most remember about them is the emotion they rouse. The work of photo stylists is still not widely known. Yet this work is vital to conveying the right fashion message. This publication takes you into the anteroom of professions in fashion to discover the work behind the scenes of photo creation: preliminary style drafts, photo studios and casting. It is also a chance to dive into the basics of framing and photography. Theories, focus points, tutorials and interviews with professionals will help you better contemplate the job of photo stylist.
