The "trade secret" is that this shit is mostly ineffective. The best "restoration" practice is conservation to begin with, never having impacts in the first place. The second best "restoration" is true rewilding. The rest is just expensive landscaping.
There's a reason I mostly study beavers now--they've never sued me over a dispute about the effectiveness of their work.
Hundreds of people have died while seeking food since delivery was taken over by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation in May. But Palestinians facing extreme hunger have no choice but to take the risk
I feel quite emotional! I've just heard word from some readers that Drystone – A Life Rebuilt is officially out in the world in people's hands.
I'd love to see photos of your copies when they arrive. Tag me!
And if you get something out of it, would you leave an Amazon review after launch date?
I'd appreciate it as I'm told it makes a huge difference. And importantly, you just need an account, not to have bought it from there ;)

Listening to an old episode of Tech Won't Save us: "How Amazon is Changing the Books We Read w/ Mark McGurl" #podcast
McGurl wrote a book called "The Program Era" about Iowa and Iowa-style writing programmes which I stalled on a few months back (though it's pretty good). https://techwontsave.us/episode/89_how_amazon_is_changing_the_books_we_read_w_mark_mcgurl
Amazon has a dominant position in publishing, but what has that meant for novels? Mark McGurl explains that in the same way Amazon has reshaped how we shop, it’s altered how we approach reading and what we expect from books themselves.
In Glasgow 64 year old Sean Clerkin has been charged under the Terrorism Act for holding a placard reading "Genocide in Palestine, Time to Take Action".
He's effectively banned from the city centre until his court date.
UK courts are slowly filling with groups of these elderly, peaceful "terrorists", making a mockery of the law.

The jingle of Swiss railway is a simple tritone. But: it is different for each of the three main languages (SBB doesn’t operate where Rumantsch is spoken). The abbreviation for each language is taken as notes, with E flat standing in for S because its German name is Es which is also how you pronounce the letter s.
So, the tritone is Eâ™ B B for German SBB, C F F for French CFF, and F F Eâ™for Italian FFS.
There is a version replacing the last note with its cord, which is used for announcing major stops.
