A practical guide to what we have lost in the modern world, why we have lost it & how easily it is to rediscover. Harmony is a blueprint for a more balanced, sustainable world that the human race must create to survive. For more than 30 years His Royal Highness Prince Charles The Prince of Wales has been at the forefront of a growing ecological movement. Originally treated with scepticism, many of his ideas are now widely accepted & gaining increasing impact & influence. His work has sought to meet a huge range of modern challenges, from urbanisation to deforestation. In every case, however, the philosophy that is the foundation of his work has always been the same, but has always been unspoken, until now. For the first time, Prince Charles, with the help of his two leading advisors, has brought together his vast knowledge & experience to set out this philosophy
- a philosophy that is as robust as it is practical. In Harmony, Prince Charles looks at different aspects of our modern world to demonstrate how many of the challenges seen in areas as diverse as architecture, farming & medicine can be traced to how we have abandoned a classical sense of balance & proportion. From the rice farms of India to America`s corn belt, Harmony spans the globe, dissecting the specific practices of modern life that have put us at odds with the world & showing how this imbalance manifests itself throughout our lives. Harmony shows how the imbalance that has emerged is at heart of a crisis which now threatens our very civilisation. It tells the story of how our disconnection from Nature has contributed to the greatest crisis in the history of mankind & how seeking balance in our actions will return us to a more considered, secure, comfortable & cleaner world. Drawing on his own practical experience, Prince Charles charts how changes to how we look at the world could lead us toward a better future. He describes how knowledge & perspectives now largely lost could help us meet very modern challenges, including in the built environment, engineering, medicine & farming.

- MAP TITLES: the grids shown on our website serve both the civilian & the military 1:50, 000 topographic series. Although the areas covered by maps in both series are identical (apart from some border or coastal sheets), occasionally map titles differ – only one title is shown on the grid, usually the military one. In Galicia, the Basque country & in the Catalan speaking areas the tendency now is to use local place names rather than the often better known Castilian ones. Where possible, both versions are included in our titles. Map titles listed on our website are based on information received by us at the time of publication, but sometimes maps arrive showing a completely different title! As long as the map number is as ordered, the correct map has been supplied.

Reissued with a new foreword to mark the centenary of Harold Wilson`s birth, Ben Pimlott`s classic biography combines scholarship & observation to illuminate the life & career of one of Britain`s most controversial post-war statesmen. Harold Wilson is one of the most enigmatic personalities of recent British history. He held office as Prime Minister for longer than any other Labour leader, & longer than any other premier in peacetime apart from Mrs Thatcher. His success at winning General Elections
- four in all
- has so far not been matched. His grasp of economic policy was better than that of any other Prime Minister, & he enjoyed a high reputation among foreign leaders. Yet, in retrospect, he seems a master tactician rather than a strategist
- & he is regarded today with more curiosity than respect, when he is not treated with contempt.
