Grow your way to happiness with this practical handbook for a more
sustainable life. Whether you have a large country garden or a
small backyard in the city, this essential guide to the 'Good Life'
will help you on your journey to becoming more self-sufficient -
which is something we all need to be thinking about. Climate
change, industrial farming with its reliance on chemicals, rising
food prices, fears over food security or just a desire to spend
more time outdoors - there are many reasons driving people towards
homegrown food and self-sufficiency. Growing your own fruit and
vegetables, preserving your produce and generating your own energy
are all covered in this thrifty guide by the original 'Tom and
Barbara', Eve and Terence McLaughlin, who wrote the first edition
of this book in 1979. This information-packed book has expert
advice on growing, harvesting, storing and preserving your produce.
You can brew your own beer and learn how to bottle, cure, smoke and
pickle your produce to make it last longer. The book features
easy-to-follow instructions for DIY tools and equipment to save
money, reduce energy consumption and cut back on waste. Learn how
to plan your site, explore the best planting times and methods,
discover how to grow a variety of vegetables, fruit and nuts, and
how to deal with pests and diseases. As well as growing your own
food, the book also covers the basics of keeping livestock -
including chickens, ducks, goats and pigs - and how to harness
alternative energy sources such as solar and wind power. Putting
your own food on the table and playing your part in creating a more
sustainable future is hugely rewarding and also has health benefits
- the physical exercise of planting and harvesting, the mental
wellness that comes with spending time in nature, and the reduction
in chemicals in the food you eat - there is so much in this
activity that fosters greater wellbeing. Whether you're planning a
move to full-blown self-sufficiency or are just curious about
what's involved and want to take your first steps to growing your
own food, this essential guide has everything you need to know.

Accessible and practical, Deconstructing Psychopathology provides a critical perspective on the institutions, practices, and presuppositions that underlie the study of psychopathology. The authors, who come from such areas as clinical psychology, psychiatric social work, psychoanalysis, and action research, challenge the traditions of the field in three ways: First, they analyze the notion of psychopathology as a conventional term in psychology and psychiatry, through the language and institutions that keep it in place. Next, they explore the deconstructive responses and resources and their implications for the theoretical practices that sustain clinical treatments. And finally, they offer an alternative way of seeing psychopathology along with practical models for critical professional work and good practice. This practical and well-written book will be an invaluable text for students and practitioners working to understand mental health.
