Simply Living Well is a beautiful and timely motivational guide to
living well sustainably and reducing our footprint for the
generations to come. Author Julia Watkins shares rituals, recipes,
and projects for living simply and sustainably at home. For every
area of your household - kitchen, cleaning, wellness, bath, and
garden - Julia shows you how to eliminate wasteful packaging,
harmful ingredients, and disposable items. Practical checklists
outline easy swaps (instead of disposable sponges, opt for
biodegradable sponges or Swedish dishcloths; choose a bamboo
toothbrush over a plastic one) and sustainable upgrades for common
household tools and products. Projects include scrap apple cider
vinegar, wool dryer balls, kitchen bowl covers and cloth produce
bags, non-toxic dryer sheets, all-purpose citrus cleaner, herbal
tinctures and balms, and more, plus recipes for package-free
essentials like homemade nut milk, hummus, ketchup, salad
dressings, and veggie stock. In 2017 Julia started her Instagram
account, @simply.living.well, sharing her recipes, projects and
thoughts around sustainable healthy living, inspired by wisdom
rooted in traditional cultures and that of her own grandparents.
Based on her hugely popular Instagram account, Julia's book, Simply
Living Well, is a comprehensive collection of her extensive yet
accessible knowledge on sustainable living. Complete with her
unique inviting aesthetic, it's for every parent, millennial or
anyone who cares about the health of of the planet we live on.
"Early Polemical Writings" covers the young Kierkegaard's works
from 1834 through 1838. His authorship begins, as it was destined
to end, with polemic. Kierkegaard's first published article touches
on the theme of women's emancipation, and the other articles from
his student years deal with freedom of the press.
Modern readers can see the seeds of Kierkegaard's future career
these early pieces. In "From the Papers of One Still Living," his
review of Hans Christian Andersen's novel "Only a Fiddler,"
Kierkegaard rejects the notion that environment is decisive in
determining the fate of genius. He also puts forward his belief
that each person needs a life-view or life for which and by which
to live, a thought he explores further in the comic play "The
Battle between the Old and the New Soap-Cellars."
Gardening for Everyone is a sustainable guide to growing vegetables
in five simple steps: planning, building, planting, tending and
harvesting. With the same wisdom and stunning aesthetic as Simply
Living Well, Julia's beautiful new book is a guide to creating and
growing a garden simply and sustainably with profiles of essential
vegetables and herbs, ecological tips, and fun and creative
projects. Growing food in your backyard (or even on a porch or
windowsill!) is one of the simplest and most rewarding ways to
nourish yourself, be self-sufficient and connect with nature in a
hands-on way. Here sustainability expert Julia Watkins shares
everything you need to know to grow your own vegetables, fruits and
herbs, as well as wildflowers and other beneficial companion
plants. The book covers all the nuts and bolts of creating and
caring for your garden - planning, building, planting, tending and
harvesting - followed by a deeper dive into the plants themselves:
demystifying annuals vs. perennials, cold-weather vs. warm-weather
veggies, and profiles of favorite crops. Throughout, Julia offers
tips for creating an eco-friendly and sustainable garden (such as
vermicomposting, no-till 'lasagna' gardening, and attracting
pollinators), plus some fun and unexpected hands-on projects like
how to build a bean teepee, make wildflower seed paper, and enjoy
refreshing herbal lemonade ice pops.
Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) has been proposed as the 'father' of
existentialism, as a forerunner of post-modernism and as the
proponent of a purely humanistic religiosity. According to Julia
Watkin all of these approaches suppress the reality of Kierkegaard
as a Christian thinker, albeit one of a uniquely challenging cast
who saw the need to treat Christianity as a personal existential
adventure in which one is not afraid to risk oneself. In
Kierkegaard, Watkin uses Danish critical sources to classify the
legendary thinker as one of a radical Christian
persuasion.Kierkegaard raised and addressed vital philosophical and
ethical-religious questions about existence in a way that continues
to be relevant across disciplines, generations, and cultures. This
book distinctly and simply introduces Kierkegaard to new readers as
a Christian religious thinker.>
