Hi Christine( and others),Here is something that caught my eye yesterday after you put me on the gardening radar with your lovely recommendation:Scent of Rain, Sun and Soil : Stories of Agroecology by Lumad youth in the Philippines. http://davaotoday.com/main/culture-2/counter-narrative-book-on-lumad-schools-agri-education-counters-red-tagging/?fbclid=IwAR1Gl4N1gJFA976znfw_cvIGQeKpKk7YsjYFm2uVgOoRM7oahoCp8O9QJ4kAnyone here seen it? Useful?Also: I read your recommendation out to my own 13 year old and she immediately said , "in that case we could also have books by Gerald Durrell featuring in this reading list!"PallaviOn Mon, Sep 14, 2020 at 3:09 AM Christine Dann <christine@horomaka.org> wrote:_______________________________________________Dave Goulson (2019) The Garden Jungle or Gardening to Save the Planet
Goulson is Professor of Biological Sciences at the University of Sussex - and a really good writer who mixes up his practical gardening experiences with the science stories he tells. I was initially worried that it might be 'too English' to apply to New Zealand conditions, but all gardens everywhere have soil microorganisms, insects, birds, etc. as well as plants, and while each place has specific interactions going on, the principles behind them are all the same, and these are relevant everywhere. I wish this book had been around when I started gardening in my teens.

Dear all,
What fiction / non fiction books or writings would you recommend for young adults to introduce to them the idea of ecological/ solidarity based futures ?
Sujit and I have the following ideas but am sure you all have many more and it would be nice to compile a reading list together for children/ young adults.Ours are as follows:1. 'Year of the Weeds' by Siddhartha Sarma (Very clever and imaginative writing for young adults fictionalising the famous indigenous Niyamgiri struggle against mining )2. Daniel Greenberg's 'Free at Last ' about the Sudbury Valley School3. Entropia: Life Beyond Industrial Civilisation by Samuel Alexander4. Our own Gandhi Note book to introduce Gandhi to young readers5. Ela Bhatt's Anubandh and "We are poor but so many".6. The following chapters in Alternative futures: Ch 35, Looking Back into the Future: India, South Asia, and the world in 2010 ( pp 627-645), and Ch 18: Dare to dream ( pp 326- 340)
What else and what more would you recommend to us that can be used as a reading list for Young Adults?
Many thanks in advance!
Pallavi
