Paperback. Zustand: Good. 'With passion and commitment thousands of "small" people built Eden as a symbol of hope in action.We may all have feet of clay, but that shouldn't stop us trying to make a difference. Wouldn't we all rather look back and say, "I'm glad I did," rather than "I wish I had"? Some might smile at the naivety of such ambition, believing it to be impossible. We say, "Demand the impossible".' So said Tim Smit and thus was the impossible delivered: a living theatre of plants and people and their interdependence, housed in a disused china clay pit and featuring the world's largest greenhouses. Well over five million visitors have since made their way to Eden, drawn by the astonishing, visionary ambition of its founders. This is Tim's story of how it all came about: the Project's genesis in the Lost Gardens of Heligan, its design and construction against all the odds, its supremely talented team of larger-than-life personalities. Above all, how the energy that brought the vision to life is being applied to possible futures. It is a vision for all to share. …

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The fascinating story of the enemy brothers behind Adidas and Puma, whose rivalry shaped the modern sports business Adidas and Puma are two of the biggest global brands in sports, paying stars, clubs, and competitions to show off their labels in stadiums and across magazine pages. In Sneaker Wars, journalist Barbara Smit reveals the dramatic, character-driven story of these two powerhouses. Started in their mother's laundry room in Germany, Adi and Rudi Dassler's shoe business was an instant success. But a vicious feud soon pulled them apart: by the end of World War II, the brothers split the company, dividing their family and hometown. Adidas and Puma then revolutionized the world of sport, their rivalry introducing behind-the-scenes deals and multimillion-dollar contracts. A page-turning narrative, Sneaker Wars is a riveting blend of family drama, business, sports, and history. "What does David Beckham's superstardom have to do with a pair of warring Bavarian brothers in the early 1900s? More than you think, according to this compelling book." -- Time Magazine.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Our chances of survival are being destroyed by overconsumption. In The End of More, Josephine Smit and Norman Pagett explore the history that has brought us to this point, and give us a glimpse of the devastating consequences of our actions. Energy has become more than the driving force of modern humanity; it is now the capital by which we live. Over the past 250 years we have used that capital to supply the food that allowed the exponential growth of populations, which in turn drove the increasing complexity of our global infrastructure. This has become our normality. As a result we enjoy a level of prosperity unique in our history, but we are living on capital, not income, and that is dwindling rapidly. That capital is hydrocarbon fuel, oil coal and gas, supplemented by metals, which we form by heat into the artifacts we need for survival. Our existence depends on combining and recombining those elements into a seemingly infinite range of products that now supports our infrastructure and market economy. We have unleashed the explosive forces of nature, and most of the world's population have deluded themselves that those forces will be available forever. We are locked into a system that demands constant, fuel burning growth, while we deny that our heat processes are destroying the planet we live on. But that delusion of infinity is now driving us into a wall of finite resources, while global population numbers continue to climb. Since the Industrial Revolution and the universal use of hydrocarbon fuels, our numbers have increased seven fold in 250 years. It is that pressure of numbers that is causing us to rip the Earth apart in search of sustenance, because we know no other way. The End of More drives home the reality that we are not facing a political, economic or technological crisis, but a crisis of survival. Prosperity cannot be voted into office. It is beyond our comprehension that we live in what is little more than a global Ponzi scheme, because our brains are not developed beyond that of the stone age hunter-gatherer. We are conditioned to survive at all costs, the brutality of ceaseless conflict shows that our civilisation is a very thin veneer. It may be that the Earth has recognised a plague species, and is using climate forces to get rid of us.
