Book Description
The Sunday Times Bestseller. Winner of the Thwaites Wainwright Prize 2015. BBC Radio 4's 'Book of the Week' Traditional ploughland is disappearing. Seven cornfield flowers have become extinct in the last twenty years. Once abundant, the corn bunting and the lapwing are on the Red List. The corncrake is all but extinct in England. And the hare is running for its life. Written in exquisite prose, The Running Hare tells the story of the wild animals and plants that live in and under our ploughland, from the labouring microbes to the patrolling kestrel above the corn, from the linnet pecking at seeds to the seven-spot ladybird that eats the aphids that eat the crop. It recalls an era before open-roofed factories and silent, empty fields, recording the ongoing destruction of the unique, fragile, glorious ploughland that exists just down the village lane. But it is also the story of ploughland through the eyes of man who took on a field and husbanded it in a natural, traditional way, restoring its fertility and wildlife, bringing back the old farmland flowers and animals. John Lewis Stempel demonstrates that it is still possible to create a place where the hare can rest safe.

Book Description
Old orchards have an irresistible appeal. Their ancient trees and obscure fruit varieties seem to provide a direct link with the lost rural world of our ancestors, a time when the pace of life was slower and people had a strong and intimate connection with their local environment. They are also of critical importance for sustaining biodiversity, providing habitats, in particular, for a range of rare invertebrates. Not surprisingly, orchards and the fruit they contain have attracted an increasing amount of attention over the last few decades, from both enthusiastic bands of amateurs and official conservation bodies. But much of what has been written about them is historically vague, romanticized and nostalgic. Orchards have become a symbol of unspoiled, picturesque rural England. This book attempts, for the first time, to provide a comprehensive review of the development of orchards in England from the Middle Ages to the present day. It describes the various different kinds of orchard and explains how, and when, they appeared in the landscape – and why they have disappeared, at a catastrophic rate, over the last six decades. Chapters discuss the contrasting histories of fruit growing in different regions of England, the complex story of ‘traditional’ fruit varieties and the role of orchards in wildlife conservation. In addition, a chapter on researching orchards provides a practical guide for those wishing to investigate the history and archaeology of particular examples.

Book Description
Possibly the worst crime known in the Herefordshire farming community. On a family farm near a small market town in North Herefordshire. My Mother had been blissfully content for fifty years, but in the Autumn of 2001 when she became slightly weakened by ill-health, family predators pounced on her. For the next two and a half years she was subjected to Elder Abuse. Mother was threatened, bullied, intimidated, and cruelly and harshly treated to ensure she stayed silent while her financial affairs were plundered. She was then persecuted til her death. Tragically, the same fate was bestowed her faithful farm-help, who had been loyal to my Mother for 28 years, but he was also targeted by the family predators to be a victim. He was hounded, persecuted and falsely discredited until his spirit was destroyed. He died in 2013 aged 61, a broken man. This crime was planned, well organised and ruthlessly executed to embezzle in excess of 500,000 and possibly making it one of the worst crimes known within the Herefordshire farming community. This account is a reflection of the changing ways of the modern world, where values that once upheld society are being trashed far too often. The subject of sociopathy is touched on to raise awareness of the increasing danger it is posing to society. Also covered is the disturbing revelation that we can no longer depend on the establishment-the judicial, the legal and the criminal systems to be fair and just. For the time being all we can do is raise awareness . . . . . . . Note: This book has been written with help from some rather naughty Golliwogs from Pettifers hardware store who found themselves arrested by over zealous local police officers.
