Seventeen years later, now in her 50s, she undertakes the same journey, revisiting the same cities, edgelands, highways and motels in the footsteps of the few women writers – Simone de Beauvoir, Ethel Mannin and Irma Kurtz – who chronicled their own road trips across the US. In Greyhound, Pocock explores the overlap of place and memory, the individual against the communal, and the privatization of public space as she navigates two very different landscapes – an earlier, less atomized America, and a current one mired in inequality, as it teeters on the brink of environmental catastrophe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer focus is on the built-upon environment: the rivers of tarmac, the illuminated gas stations, the sprawling suburbs and the sites of extraction created specifically to fuel contemporary life. Combining memoir, reportage, environmental writing and literary criticism, Greyhound is a moving and immersive book that captures an America in the throes of late capitalism with all its beauty, horror and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eby Joanna Pocock French paperback with flaps, 432 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘These experiences provide fascinating material for a writer as non-judgmental as Pocock, who sees the Greyhound network as a place of “fragility”, a rare public space where “anarchic, communal, bus-wide conversations” offer a window on to an America you’d never see if you only travelled by car… [She] resists the temptation towards a conventional narrative arc, not least because this already intriguing story is complemented by an account of a 2023 trip following the same route, allowing Pocock to see how the places she travelled through 17 years prior had changed. Greyhound is a skilful intertwining of these two journeys: part travelogue, part environmental treatise, and utterly distinct…. This ambitious book asks important societal questions and is astute in its depictions of public living…. Traversing urban metropolises and desert vistas, Greyhound is an erudite study of how living among others became a dying art.’\u003cbr\u003e— Ellen Peirson-Hagger, The Observer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘Greyhound is a road trip like no other, a personal memoir interwoven with history, anthropology and landscape….

There is both darkness and brilliance here: affection and laughter brighten the pages of this fierce, accusatory, tender and unforgettable book.’ \u003cbr\u003e— Lee Langley, The Spectator\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘Reading Greyhound, I didn’t want the ride to end because, for all the difficulties Pocock encounters and the suffering she observes, there are moments of “a strange sort of transcendence on the Greyhound”….

But the book is also a beautiful meditation on the undeniable wonders of America’s natural spaces…. Despite presenting an often bleak portrait of modern living, Greyhound carries at its core a message of hope that our relationship with nature, and with each other, will improve.’\u003cbr\u003e— Tom Lathan, Times Literary Supplement\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e’It is a testament to Pocock’s subtlety and skill that Greyhound can do so much without flashing neon signs over the various points it makes. Transitioning with deceptively light grace through its many significant subjects, the book flows like scenery past a windshield. It encompasses inner journey, feminist critique, engaging travelogue, examination of literary predecessors (including Alexis de Tocqueville, Jack Kerouac and Simone de Beauvoir) and accounts of environmental depredation, from Las Vegas to a vast solar-thermal farm in California whose main success appears to be killing birds…. Lyrical and clear-eyed at once, Pocock has reinvented the road-trip genre for a new age – an age, she argues, in which we lack the will to fully confront the drastic effects of our political and economic decisions…. Her ground-level view onto this forgotten America, from her seat in the lowly yet vital public bus, enables us to see exactly what needs to be remembered.’\u003cbr\u003e— Melissa Holbrook Pierson, Washington Post\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘Greyhound is an enchanting work that stretches out freely like the roads Pocock travelled, with all the bumps included. It will appeal to readers of Rebecca Solnit, Iain Sinclair or James Agee – parts travelogue, memoir, psychogeography and reportage, it’s a book underpinned with environmental, historical and social concerns, with digressions on arts and culture stitched in along the way…. Greyhound is a fascinating odyssey of self-discovery. It’s an important personal work, but it will also have value as a social document, too, accentuated by the author’s stark black-and-white photographs of those hollowed out places she stopped in – no one appears in the photos, giving them a ghostly quality. “Travelling on a Greyhound bus, you can disappear,” writes Pocock.

On that occasion, she was “running away from loss” and marooned in the grief of bereavement. Greyhound focuses on what has happened in the intervening years. It is a work of meditative reportage threaded with “the sodden pages of my own history”….

Along the way, she asks: how can our material comfort coexist with the impoverishment of nature? How much degradation do we have to witness before we change our way of living? With an exquisite and beautifully reflective prose, Pocock explores a heart of darkness, and expresses a deep desire and need to connect with the earth.

Yet, this London is not where Londoners usually eat. There is another version of London that exists in its marginal spaces, where food culture flourishes in parks and allotments, in warehouses and industrial estates, along rivers and A-roads, in baths and in libraries. A city where Londoners eat, sell, produce and distribute food every day without fanfare, where its food culture weaves in and out of daily urban existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a city of rising rents, of gentrification, and displacement, this new and updated edition of London Feeds Itself, edited by the food writer and editor of Vittles, Jonathan Nunn, shows that the true centres of London food culture can be found in ever more creative uses of space, eked out by the people who make up the city. Its chapters explore the charged intersections between food and modern London’s varied urban conditions, from markets and railway arches to places of worship to community centres. 26 essays about 26 different buildings, structures and public amenities in which London’s vernacular food culture can be found, seen through the eyes of writers, architects, journalists and politicians – all accompanied by over 125 guides to some of the city’s best vernacular restaurants across all 33 London boroughs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEdited by Jonathan Nunn Expanded and updated, London Feeds Itself is the second edition of Jonathan Nunn’s exploration of London’s food vernacular culture, and Fitzcarraldo Editions’ first co-publishing project, with Open City.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContributors: Carla Montemayor, Jenny Lau, Mike Wilson, Claudia Roden, Stephen Buranyi, Rebecca May Johnson, Owen Hatherley, Aditya Chakrabortty, Yvonne Maxwell, Melek Erdal, Sameh Asami, Barclay Bram, Ciaran Thapar, Santiago Peluffo Soneyra, Virginia Hartley, Jess Fagin, Leah Cowan, Ruby Tandoh, Jeremy Corbyn, Dee Woods, Shahed Saleem, Amardeep Singh Dhillon, Zarina Muhammad, Yemisi Aribisala, Nabil Al-Kinani, Sana Badri, Nikesh Shukla. ‘I couldn’t order this fast enough!’\u003cbr\u003e— Nigella Lawson\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘[Jonathan Nunn’s] writing makes a huge tangible, day-to-day improvement to people’s lives.

A thought-provoking exploration of three plant-based drugs—opium, caffeine and mescaline—examining their cultural, historical and psychological impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf all the many things humans rely on plants for, surely the most curious is our use of them to change consciousness: to stimulate, calm, or completely alter the qualities of our mental experience. In This Is Your Mind On Plants, Michael Pollan explores three very different drugs - opium, caffeine and mescaline - and throws the fundamental strangeness of our thinking about them into sharp relief. Exploring and participating in the cultures that have grown up around these drugs, while consuming (or in the case of caffeine, trying not to consume) them, Pollan reckons with the powerful human attraction to psychoactive plants, and the equally powerful taboos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a unique blend of history, science, memoir and reportage, Pollan shines a fresh light on a subject that is all too often treated reductively. In doing so, he proves that there is much more to say about these plants than simply debating their regulation, for when we take them into our bodies and let them change our minds, we are engaging with nature in one of the most profound ways we can. This ground-breaking and singular book holds up a mirror to our fundamental human needs and aspirations, the operations of our minds and our entanglement with the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublisher:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"publisher\"\u003ePenguin Books Ltd\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eISBN:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"isbn\"\u003e9780141997339\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNumber of pages:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"numberOfPages\"\u003e288\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDimensions:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"height\"\u003e198\u003c\/span\u003e x \u003cspan itemprop=\"width\"\u003e130\u003c\/span\u003e x \u003cspan itemprop=\"depth\"\u003e17\u003c\/span\u003e mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWeight:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"weight\"\u003e214 g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLanguage:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"inLanguage\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57393188372863,"sku":null,"price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0720\/2589\/9289\/files\/ThisIsYourMindOnPlants-Opium_Caffeine_Mescaline.jpg?v=1776892537"},{"product_id":"a-world-appears-a-journey-into-consciousness","title":"A World Appears: A Journey Into Consciousness","description":"\u003cp\u003eby Michael Pollan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the best-selling author of How to Change Your Mind, a pioneering search for consciousness in the brain and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA World Appears is the story of the quest to solve the greatest mystery in nature: consciousness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow does it feel to be you with your own personal feelings, thoughts and experiences?
