Rosamond Richardson has been living a green, environmentally-friendly life since 1984 and has written many books on its various aspects from vegetarian cookery and yoga to general health and well-being. In Home Hints and Tips, she brings all these subjects together, sharing her ideas and methods for living a healthier life, using natural products to avoid further contamination to our planet. From cleaning, buying appliances, recycling, child and pet care, composting and growing your own vegetables, Rosamond gives pertinent tips and suggestions to doing it in a greener way. Attractively presented with a dip in and read format, it is full of useful titbits: how to remove grease from clothes, limescale from taps, looking after linen and silk, cooking healthy food and natural remedies. Occasionally over-the-top in her efforts to be environmentally friendly, this is nevertheless an invaluable reference for today's more consciously-aware lifestyles. - Lucy Watson
