HBO's hit series A GAME OF THRONES is based on George R R Martin's internationally bestselling series A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE, the greatest fantasy epic of the modern age. A FEAST FOR CROWS is the fourth volume in the series. <br/><br/>A Feast for Crows brings to life dark magic, intrigue and terrible bloodshed as the war-torn landscape of the Seven Kingdoms is threatened by destruction as vast as any in its violent past. The War of the Five Kings has ripped Westeros apart. The bloodthirsty, treacherous and cunning Lannisters occupy the Iron Throne, with allies as ruthless as themselves. Lord Frey was host at the Red Wedding, so called for the massacre of the guests, their screams unheard above the music of the feast. Euron Crow's Eye is as black a pirate as ever raised a sail, sworn to deliver the whole of Westeros to the ironborn. <br/><br/>No less to be feared are their enemies. The Starks of Winterfell and the Martells of Dorne seek vengeance for their dead. And the last of the Targaryens, Daenerys Stormborn, will bring fire and blood to King's Landing when her young dragons reach their terrifying maturity. The last war fought with dragons was a cataclysm powerful enough to shatter the Valyrian peninsula, now a smoking, demon-haunted ruin half drowned by the sea. <br/><br/>Against a backdrop of alchemy and murder, victory may go to the men and women possessed of the coldest steel ... and the coldest hearts.

<p>Lena Israelssons Handbok för köksträdgården utkom första gången 2000 och blev direkt oumbärlig för alla grönsaksodlare - proffs som hemmaodlare. Här är nu en helt reviderad, utökad och aktuell utgåva med nyskrivna kapitel och uppdaterade sorter, fakta och odlingsmetoder.</p><p>Till grund för den här nya utgåvan ligger nya forskarrön, men också de erfarenheter som Lena Israelsson och andra odlare gjort under senare år.</p><p>Boken ger kunskap om alla former av ekologisk odling av köksväxter, i trädgårdsland för självhushåll, i villaträdgårdarnas pallkragar, i alla slags stadsodlingar, på balkonger och uteplatser. Tiden är förbi när köksväxtodling beskrevs som en trend. Vi är nu på väg att bli en odlande nation och det finns gott om skickliga grönsaksodlare.</p><p>Praktiskt taget alla köksväxter som går att odla i Sverige presenteras: grönsaker, kryddörter och bär. Men nu beskrivs de med ännu mer faktauppgifter och med nya, heta sorttips. Det gäller även bärkapitlet, som utökats med flera spännande växter.</p><p>Boken ger ny kunskap om allt från biokol, kompostmetoden bokashi och mördarsniglar till det magiska samarbetsprojekt som pågår under jord och kallas mykorrhiza.</p><p>I kapitlet om planering har permakultur fått den plats den förtjänar med idéer till planering av alla former av nyttoodlingar.</p><p>Höst- och vinterodling har fått ett eget kapitel. Genom att välja rätt växter och metoder kan du odla dubbelt så lång tid.</p><p>Nya Handbok för köksträdgården är förhoppningsvis inte bara en handbok, utan också en inspirationsbok, en bok som väcker matlust och doftar jord.</p>
