|title=Everyday English for Grown-Ups: Getting to Grips with the Basics
|rating=4
|genre=Reference
|summary=It can seem a long time since we learned the nuts and bolts of the English language when we were at school. At the time the niceties of colons and intricacies of apostrophes weren't really that relevant to our lives and it's only when we miss out on a good job because our English isn't up to scratch or someone makes a scathing remark about our abuse of the language that we realise that we could do with an urgent and discreet brushup. Step forward ''Everyday English for Grown-ups'' - and it's aimed at native and non-native English speakers.

|author=Richard Mabey
|summary=''The Ash and The Beech'' is an updated version of Mabey’s popular ''Beechcombings'', which has been given a new foreword and afterword by the author in light of the recent issues concerning ash die-back, which currently threatens Britain’s ash population. Mabey expands on this topic by examining the history of British trees, particularly the Beech and how it has managed to survive and adapt over the centuries despite threats from war, felling, disease and storms. He raises some important and thought-provoking ideas and questions whether our constant intervention in such cases serves to do more harm than good.
