Tara Westover: Educated

Tara Westover grew up preparing for the end of the world. She was never put in school, never taken to the doctor. She did not even have a birth certificate until she was nine years old.

At sixteen, to escape her father’s radicalism and a violent older brother, Tara left home. What followed was a struggle for self-invention, a journey that gets to the heart of what an education is and what it offers: the perspective to see one’s life through new eyes, and the will to change it.

Vámos Miklós: Anya csak egy van

It's a shame that only now am I starting to realize that basically my mother must have been a nice woman. It's a shame that I'm just now starting to envy her for living so bravely, as I never dared. But it would be good to start over, all from the beginning. Miklós Vámos started writing Anya csak egy van in 1992 and was published for the first time in 1995. Then another thirty-nine times, at several publishers. After three decades, the world has changed a lot. The author revised the novel only slightly, once. We - people, Hungarians, readers - maybe more. But the main character, the manic-depressive (generally: half-crazy) mother, is exactly what countless of her fellow sufferers are like today. Intolerable and hilarious. Shy and brave. Emotionally poor and in love. While we feel sorry for her at the beginning of the book, later on we almost envy her. She touches us and makes us laugh. If we feel that it is time to call our own mother after reading the novel, we are on the right track - the author has made his point.

Antje Krause: Energiatakarékos kertészkedés - Ötletek a víz, áram és más energiaforrások tudatosabb használatához

It goes without saying that everyone in the house tries to conserve water and energy, but what about in the garden? With a couple of dry summers behind us, there is no need to argue in favor of a more conscious use of (rain) water, but there are also solutions to reduce our electricity and fuel consumption.

Gasoline lawn mower? Electric? Cordless? Or the fully mechanical, manual? Which is the winner?

The book points out what we should redesign in order to use less water and energy unnecessarily for garden maintenance in the future.

Not only the environment and the fauna of the garden will be grateful for it, but also our wallet.

Did you know, for example, that good mulching is equal to half watering?

Recognizing the simple laws of nature, last but not least we can save our own muscle power and time, and we can make our garden sustainable with little investment.
