'Late Poems' from William Critchley with occasional references (homages) to poets such as Auden, Baudelaire and Spender, and at least one paean to Sappho, the 'tenth muse'. Most of his subjects allude to muses in one form or another, either in or out of relationships, lost or unavailable loves as well as others. 'Love Shook My Heart Too' pays tribute to one of Sappho's most celebrated fragments of poetry; and just as she predicted (that she would be remembered in time to come), Critchley ends his poem: 'Some have forgotten you/But I have remembered you/in another time.'
This book is about the main lessons to be learnt from new approaches to soil and water conservation in sub-Saharan Africa. It presents six case studies, two each from Burkina Faso, Kenya and Mali, where soil and water conservation, based on the participation of the local people, has resulted in some success.
Over 20 years ago, concerned famersΓÇÖ groups in Kenya and Burkina Faso began to adopt new measures to conserve soil and water and to re-establish trees in their fields. Two videos, Looking after our Land and Building on Traditions, recorded the new participatory approaches for land conservation being developed at that time in various countries. More People, More Trees returns to the same communities, and some of the same people, in Kenya and Burkina Faso to document developments since the original filming. The film shows spectacular changes: most obviously more trees planted and protected by the people themselves aided and encouraged by continuing community projects. More People, More Trees thus highlights a demonstrable success story for community participation in agricultural change in Burkina Faso and Kenya. In this film, the landscapes tell their own story, but so do the local people. The accompanying book expounds upon the powerful messages in the film and describes the technologies employed by the communities, provides hard data to support their testimonies, and looks at the current challenges of soil conservation in the context of climate change.
