*A positive, reassuring and anxiety-eliminating book helping children
change the way they think about the world*
Pandemics, war, terror, natural disasters - the world seems to be full
of bad news and it can all feel, well, a little bit scary. But this is
just part of the story. There are in fact tons of great things
happening, from robots improving health care and trees healing the
planet, to everyday people helping their community with acts of
kindness and the businesses fighting for good in the world.
In Good News, children will learn to become fake news detectives,
sussing out what's real and what isn't. They'll discover the good news
- the amazing anecdotes, case studies and figures around the globe that
are making a difference. And they'll learn that if we all continue to
work together, things can only keep getting better and better.
Empowering, reassuring and confidence-boosting, this book is a positive
antidote for testing times.

"It represents a truly magnum opus, contains copious references,
and represents a distillation of the experience of scores of
farmers, researchers and extension practitioners... To find such a
wealth of practically-rooted experience on adoption and spread of
Conservation Agriculture (CA) in this single Volume 3 of the series
on CA is a triumph of hard work and wise collation which deserves
widespread perusal by farmers and their organisations, researchers
and policy-makers. At a time of such global challenge
environmentally and in terms of ecosystem security, this book is
timely indeed. May it achieve its aim to persuade and inform more
adopters of CA." (Professor John Wibberley, Ag4Dev) "...this new
volume is timely. More than 120 authors from more than 30 countries
contribute global evidence and knowledge drawn together into a
short survey and sixteen regional chapters, each including useful
context and a section on where to look for further
information...Our review of the first two volumes concluded: 'This
book can change the future.' Chapters in this volume give us a
glimpse of that future."(David Dent, International Journal of
Environmental Studies) "The whole series is a magnificent
achievement and will be the principal reference for years to come."
(David Dent) With growing scientific concern around the limitations
of tillage-based agriculture, coupled with the sector's need to
contribute to being more sustainable, the development and adoption
of alternative farming techniques has never been more important.
Conservation Agriculture (CA) is emerging as a key alternative. The
foundations of CA are built upon the use of no-till techniques and
the use of rotations and cover crops to optimise different aspects
of soil and crop health and resilience. Advances in Conservation
Agriculture Volume 3: Adoption and Spread provides an authoritative
review from an array of international experts on the adoption of CA
principles in different regions around the world. The final volume
in this collection reviews the effectiveness of CA in differing
contexts (e.g. in drier conditions where water conservation is
important or in areas with poor soil) and refers to the wealth of
research and experiential evidence currently available.
Throughout his research into memory theory, Nelson Dellis found
existing memory improvement guides to be wanting-overcomplicated,
dry, and stodgy. So he decided to write a book that is approachable
and fun, centered on what people actually need to remember. In
Remember It!, Dellis teaches us how to make the most of our memory,
using his competition-winning techniques. Presenting the
information in a user-friendly way, Dellis offers bite-size
chapters, addressing things we wish we could remember but often
forget: names, grocery lists, phone numbers, where you left your
keys-you name it! This fast-paced, highly illustrated tour of the
inner workings of the brain makes improving your memory simple and
fun.
Rachel Blackcroft is a girl in sixth-form at the turn of the new
millennium. Always slightly on the outside of the inner circle, she
begins to notice changes in her contemporaries' behaviour as this
new era dawns. Over the course of the next few years, she
establishes her place in the world and her future starts to look
promising... ...then suddenly a seismic shift takes place,
seemingly overnight. But what is driving this shift and how will it
come to affect humanity's mental health and interaction with one
another as the new century unfolds? And, more importantly, what can
be done, if anything, to push back the tide of its influence? Do we
just have to accept it, or is there another way of living - can
there be something else?
