Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

WILD FRANCE (Sheldrake/Aurum, pounds 9.95), edited by Douglas Botting, is the latest in a series that includes Wild Britain and Wild Spain, designed for those 'who want to get off the beaten track and discover the spirit and essential flavour of a country'.

The handsomely illustrated books offer useful information for nature lovers, with a guide to plants and animals and where they can be found.

Travellers to south-western France should look at 100 Walks in the French Pyrenees (Hodder & Stoughton, pounds 10.99) by Terry Marsh. This lists a good variety of walks, which it says are well within the capability of a regular weekend walker in Britain. Routes range from high mountain walks to riverside rambles.
