Book Description
As factory farming continues to dominate food production, a growing movement insists that a hands-on connection to food and the land that produces it cannot be set aside. In Grown & Gathered, Matt and Lentil Purbrick present a sumptuously photographed guide to living alongside nature and returning to an ancient way of life. 365 days of notes from the authors will help you read the environment as the seasons change, and detailed guides to growing plants and raising animals will ensure that you build your farming practice on a stable foundation. True to the ancient way of life the authors seek to rediscover, Grown & Gathered also includes a chapter on the nuances of trading the goods you produce, rather than relying on monetary exchange. Finally, nearly one hundred recipes for everything from staples to full meals offer delicious ways to prepare the food you have produced from the ground up.

Book Description
Once upon a simpler time, hand-painted and hand-crafted signs brought color and vibrancy to Australian towns and cities -- advertising everything from dining rooms, milk bars, and CWA halls to Peter's ice cream, oatmeal, stout, Chinese restaurants, and Shelley's famous drinks. Now faded and slowly disappearing, they tell the story of life over two centuries, recording a distinctly Australian vernacular language. A keen photographer of the everyday, Brady Michaels has recorded an impressive array of signs from across Australia -- from the earliest ads for household goods and services, to more recent but now defunct video lending libraries and internet cafés. These beautifully composed and nostalgic images are accompanied by brief commentary by Dale Campisi, who ponders the significance of these fading and disappearing signs -- artful, kitsch, and at times hilarious -- lovingly preserved through Brady's lens.
