Megan Hine is probably the type of person that you'd want with you in a crisis situation. Cool, calm and capable; this survival expert is equally at home in desert, mountain, tundra and jungle environments. She's navigated her way around some of the most inhospitable regions on the planet and survived to tell the tale. But just what is it that makes some people more capable in a survival situation than others? Physical fitness? Bushcraft skills? Experience? Whilst all of these are important, Hine argues that ''attitude'' is one of the most important factors in survival. In this book, she examines how the right mindset can mean the difference between life and death when isolated in the wilderness. [[Mind of a Survivor by Megan Hine|Full Review]]

I love visiting country houses, but you can keep the interiors and the flower gardens - what interests me is the kitchen garden: seeing one which has been restored to its former glory is a real treat, as was ''Britain's Heritage: The Country Garden'' when it landed on my desk. There was no longer any need to guess at the work that had been done: here was the history complete with glorious illustrations as well as some wonderful advertisements. ''Canary Guano. For Greenhouse and garden. Perfectly clean. May be used by a lady.'' is still making me giggle. [[The Kitchen Garden (Britain's Heritage Series) by Caroline Ikin|Full Review]]
