Produktbeschreibung
Black walnut has been felled indiscriminately for timber for everything from fine furniture to rifle stocks. But few know that it is really an extraordinary perennial oil-crop (as are most nut trees to varying degrees). The author takes you on a journey into biomass nut production. With the focus on his style of management, he examines the components of volume output and the internal rate of return to investment in a nut-based enterprise. Above all, the author suggests that the reforestation of the landscape with non-select black walnut for biomass nut production has the potential for sustainable multiple income streams for long-term partial rural livelihoods. Operator of a farm with more than 2,000 black walnut trees, the author uses his everyday interaction with his 'forest' to draw out the experiences that shape productivity, and provide ecosystem services in so doing.

Autorenporträt
After being accepted back into the services, the author held a number of different posts. Years later, he was recognised by the queen for, quote: "17 years outstanding military service, as a member of the forces, in the service of Her Majesty the Queen and the country." After working for a prominent private security company in surveillance, then technical advisor and whilst still a sergeant within the reserve forces, he went on to become an extremely successful film and TV stunt man. After winning a Hollywood World Stunt Award in 2013 for his in-flight plane-to-plane hijack jump on the Batman film, Dark Knight Rising, he has now become a very well-respected stunt coordinator and action unit director. Along with his many skills, he is an accomplished amateur racing driver, ski and skydive instructor and has represented his country in extreme sports. When not working on a movie or following his passion as an amateur racing driver, he lives between his homes in the UK and the Spanish Canary Islands, where he continues to write.
