The story of the real 'good life' of an off-grid existence in rural
Spain Paul Richardson fled the city to live on the land in a
rough-and-tumble village on the edge of Europe. Immersing himself
in the culture of his remote Spanish community, he learned the
traditional arts of animal husbandry and vegetable growing,
wine-making and home distilling, and made bread from the rye he
sowed on the stone-walled terraces of his twelve-acre farm. In
prose that shimmers with wit and sensuality, the author charts his
personal route-map along a road less travelled - from urban
pressures to rural tranquility, and from insecurity to fulfilment.
Along the way he pays tribute to the influences that have shaped
his progress - from The Good Life to Henry David Thoreau, from the
1970s pioneers to self-sufficiency to his farming neighbours in the
far-flung region of Extremadura. In Richardson's hands, off-grid
living both becomes an act of rebellion and a heartening proof that
a simpler, better life is possible, if only we can remove ourselves
from the ethos in which conspicuous consumption is a duty and
success/failure the wheel on which society turns. Hidden Valley is
a glorious narrative of one man's journey towards self-reliance.
Original and thought-provoking, it is also hugely entertaining.

Everybody loves chocolate. From Willy Wonka to Ferrero Rocher, the
Cadbury's Flake girl to the man from Milk Tray, it is embedded in
our culture like no other foodstuff. The 'Prozac of Candy' produces
the same chemicals in your brain as when you fall in love. Paul
Richardson has had a sweet tooth ever since his grandmother fed him
Lindt milk chocolate animals as a boy. Now, in this fascinating new
book, he satisfies a lifelong craving by travelling the world to
find out the history of this most popular of foodstuffs. It is a
journey that begins in the cacao groves of Guatemala and Mexico,
and takes him from the old world to the new, to mainland Europe and
the chocolatiers of Paris and Zurich, to Britain and America, and
the homes of Cadbury and Hershey. Part travelogue, part cultural
history, part literary gastronomy, INDULGENCE is choc full of the
hilarious, the delicious and the downright bizarre. For chocolate
lovers everywhere - and let's face it, that's most of us -
INDULGENCE is a treat. Witty, insightful and wonderfully readable,
this is the tastiest book you'll devour all year, bar none.

other clinical views - placed adjacent to anatomic artwork for
side-by-side comparison. Gain a more complete understanding of the
inguinal region in women through a brand-new, large-format
illustration, as well as new imaging figures that reflect anatomy
as viewed in the modern clinical setting. Enhanced eBook version
included with purchase. Your enhanced eBook allows you to access

The Red Sheep is a story about Jessica Grant and the challenges
faced by families as they deal with aging, mortality, religion, and
relationships. Jessica, an only child, was immersed in a stable and
supportive family but it did not hide the fact she was different.
As such, she saw the world differently. As a child she questioned
her being. As a teenager she set her mother in search of answers.
As an adult she learned to accept life was what she made of it.
Jessica's journey was filled with childhood joy at having special
grandparents. When Nan and Pop passed away, it was her youthful
logic that helped her cope with their loss. With Nan and Pop's
opposing views of an afterlife deeply embedded in her outlook,
Jessica explored her background with conviction. The answers she
found highlighted how unique she was. The story will make you
laugh. It will make you cry. It will make you question the world
around you. It will cause you to marvel at the extraordinary lives
led by everyday ordinary people.
Taylah Bingham enjoyed school and did well in most subjects. She
was more than capable on a sports field and excelled at whatever
she played. But her greatest love was singing. As a
twelve-almost-thirteen-year-old she had a bright future and was
expected to be successful in life, regardless of where her
interests took her and what pathway she chose. Taylah lived in
Cairns with her mother Kellie, her stepfather Mick, and her young
half-sister Krissy. As her school's Talent Show loomed Taylah
prepared for what her friends predicted would be a winning
performance. However, when home life became complicated, Taylah
encountered challenges far beyond being able to win a talent show.
Thrust into turmoil on the night of the show, Taylah's world was
turned upside down. But she had friends. Good friends, young and
old. With their help she was given the chance she thought had been
lost. In the end, it was Taylah's talent that rewarded those who
had faith in her.
