  • Christmas on the Farm: Wintry tales from a life spent working with animals

    01

    Wrap up warm and retreat to the wintry countryside with farmer and Countryfile presenter Adam Henson, as he recounts his Christmas memories tending to an assorted cast of animals, and celebrates the farmers who make our celebrations possible.

    Adam Henson has spent his whole life on Bemborough farm – over 50 winters and Christmases. During that time, the troughs have frozen over, snow has fallen so thickly riding shire horses out to the fields has been the only option, puppies have been found under the Christmas tree – and crises out in the world have almost brought the farm to a close…

    Christmas for a farmer takes a different shape to everyone else’s, because the animals always have to come first. So settle down – ideally by a fireside and with a cup of something hot – to hear the tales that have defined festivity for the Henson family, and the turbulent times that have ensured Christmas is now more important than ever for Adam and his loved ones.

    Heart-warming and full of Christmas spirit, Christmas on the Farm will give you a new respect for the people who work on them.

  • How Life Works: A User’s Guide to the New Biology

    01

    A cutting-edge new vision of biology that proposes to revise our concept of what life is – from Science Book Prize winner and former Nature editor Philip Ball.

    Biology is undergoing a quiet but profound transformation. Several aspects of the standard picture of how life works have been exposed as incomplete, misleading, or wrong.

    In How Life Works, Philip Ball explores the new biology, revealing life to be a far richer, more ingenious affair than we had guessed. With this knowledge come new possibilities. Today we can redesign and reconfigure living systems, tissues, and organisms. We can reprogram cells, for instance, to carry out new tasks and grow into structures not seen in the natural world. Some researchers believe that ultimately we will be able to regenerate limbs and organs, and perhaps even create new life forms that evolution has never imagined.

    Incorporating the latest research and insights, How Life Works is a sweeping journey into this new frontier of the nature of life, a realm that will reshape our understanding of life as we know it.

  • The Wuhan Cover-Up: And the Terrifying Bioweapons Arms Race (Children’s Health Defense)

    “RFK Jr. exposes the decades of lies.”–Luc Montagnier, Nobel laureate

    From the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestselling author of The Real Anthony Fauci comes an explosive exposé of the cover-up behind the true origins of COVID-19.

    “Gain-of-function” experiments are often conducted to deliberately develop highly virulent, easily transmissible pathogens for the stated purpose of developing preemptive vaccines for animal viruses before they jump to humans. More insidious is the “dual use” nature of this research, specifically directed toward bioweapons development.

    The Wuhan Cover-Up pulls back the curtain on how the US government’s increase in biosecurity spending after the 2001 terror attacks set in motion a plan to transform the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the direction of Dr. Anthony Fauci, into a de facto Defense Department agency.

    While Dr. Fauci zealously funded and pursued gain-of-function research, concern grew among some scientists and government officials about the potential for accidental or deliberate release of weaponized viruses from labs that might trigger worldwide pandemics. A moratorium was placed on this research, but true to form, Dr. Fauci found ways to continue unperturbed–outsourcing some of the most controversial experiments offshore to China and providing federal funding to Wuhan Institute of Virology’s (WIV’s) leading researchers for gain-of-function studies in partnership with the Chinese military and the Chinese Communist Party.

    Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s meticulously researched and rigorously sourced analysis leads readers on a staggering journey to learn about:

    • the key enablers and henchmen pushing for gain-of-function research
    • the economic motives behind gain-of-function research
    • successfully engineered “chimeric viruses” that can infect and kill humans
    • the coordinated effort to silence speculation of COVID-19’s laboratory genesis
    • the complicity of scientific journals to hide the origins of COVID-19
    • the role of the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China’s biowarfare/biodefense program
    • the relationships between US health, military, and intelligence bureaucracies and scientists and their Chinese counterparts
    • the roles of Bill Gates and Sir Jeremy Farrar in orchestrating a global cover-up

    The Wuhan Cover-Up unveils a global conspiracy of epic proportion and lethal consequence.

  • Better Things: Materials for Sustainable Product Design

    How often have you seen a label on a product proclaiming it to be made from ‘recycled material’, ‘bioplastic’ or similar, without it giving any details of the concrete environmental benefits? What do these terms really mean? A drive for greater transparency and demonstrable environmental benefits is happening in product design, through emerging legislation and standards, and consumer demand for more sustainable products and unambiguous marketing.

    In Better Things: Materials for Sustainable Product Design, Daniel Liden seeks to tackle the lazy ‘greenwashing’ terminology we see every day, providing a guide for product designers, manufacturers and consumers wishing to make better and more informed decisions about materials. The book comprises six chapters devoted to material categories – plastics, textiles, metals, ceramics and glass, wood and paper – and a seventh chapter covering emerging sustainable technologies.

  • The Phone Fix: The Brain-Focused Guide to Building Healthy Digital Habits and Breaking Bad Ones

    What is really happening in your brain when you use your phone, and how to harness it.

    Humans are often fearful of the day the world will be ruled by machines, but have they not already taken over? The average person spends 4-5 hours a day on their phone, about a third of the time they are awake. We self-interrupt our work and social lives, forgo sleep, procrastinate important tasks and opt for digital distraction when we’re bored or feel uncomfortable.

    NHS neurology doctor and neuroscientist Faye Begeti describes what is happening in our brain when we use our phones and why we have formed so many fixed and negative habits around them. She reflects on both deliberate choices and automatic behaviours, whilst also challenging myths around digital ‘addiction’, how dopamine actually works and the harmfulness of blue light.

    Rather than recommending a quick fix digital diet, or total abstinence – unviable for most people – The Phone Fix offers a practical guide, based on neuroscientific techniques, on building supportive digital habits. Technology is not inherently bad or frightening and by better understanding what is happening in our brains, we can replenish our willpower and improve our focus, forming a healthier relationship with our phones ­- and therefore the real people around us.

    ‘If you only read one diet or nutrition book in your life, make it this one’ Bee Wilson

    ‘A devastating, witty and scholarly destruction of the shit food we eat and why’ Adam Rutherford

    An eye-opening investigation into the science, economics, history and production of ultra-processed food.

    It’s not you, it’s the food.

  • Hunt for the Shadow Wolf: The lost history of wolves in Britain and the myths and stories that surround them

    ‘Beautifully crafted, fascinating and unbearably poignant, I totally loved this book’. Isabella Tree, author of Wilding

    ‘Gow reinvents what it means to be a guardian of the countryside’. Guardian

    Author of Bringing Back the Beaver and Britain’s favourite maverick rewilder Derek Gow embarks on an adventure to uncover the mythology, mystery and history of wolves in Britain.

    Derek Gow’s dream is that one day we will see the return of the wolf to Britain. Wolf rewilding projects have been successfully implemented across the world – so what is holding us back in the UK?

    Hunt for the Shadow Wolf is Derek’s quest to uncover the true nature of this magnificent creature. As Derek worked to reintroduce the beaver, he began to hear stories of the wolf, both real and mythical, and his fascination with it grew. He pieced together fragments of information, stories and artefacts to reveal a shadowy creature that first walked proud through these lands and then was hunted to extinction.

    What Derek came to realise was that the underlying motives behind our hatred were actually rooted in power and profit. We turned the wolf into a savage beast and saw its extirpation as a civilising mission. But the wolf endured and Derek tells of his sightings through folklore and mythology, the records of grand estates and parish churches as well as wolf heads, both real and recreated.

    With bitingly funny but also tender stories, Hunt for the Shadow Wolf makes clear why we must reconcile our relationship with this majestic animal before we can begin to bring it back to these lands.

  • Defiant: The Fourth Skyward Novel

    From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson comes the final book in an epic series about a girl who will travel beyond the stars to save the world she loves from destruction.

    Spensa made it out of the Nowhere, but what she saw in the space between the stars has changed her forever. She came face to face with the Delvers, and finally got answers to the questions she’s had about her own strange Cytonic gifts.

    The Superiority didn’t stop in it’s fight for galactic dominance while she was gone, though. Spensa’s team, Skyward Flight, was able to hold Winzik off, and even collect allies to help with the cause, but it’s only a matter of time until humanity – and the rest of the galaxy – falls.

    Defeating them will require all the knowledge Spensa gathered while in the Nowhere. But being Cytonic is more complicated than she ever could have imagined. Now, Spensa must ask herself: how far is she willing to go for victory, if it means losing herself – and her friends – in the process.

    The final book in the Skyward series will free humanity, or see it fall forever.

    “And what is your destiny, Little Bird? Who will you be?”

    Sixteen-year-old Wren Vesper is just like every other kid she knows: trying to survive high school and figure out what she wants to do with her life. But when news of her grandmother’s death reaches her, she discovers she is not like everyone else, and that question about what to do with her life may no longer be hers to answer. Wren and her mother return to Sedgwick Cove, the tiny coastal Maine town where her mother grew up, and there she learns the truth about the family she barely knows: the Vespers aren’t just a family: they’re a coven.

    Centuries ago, a bargain was struck and a powerful spell cast: As long as three Vesper witches lived in Sedgwick Cove, the town would be safe from the dark forces that threatened its borders. Wren’s mother reluctantly agrees to take her own mother’s place as the third Vesper witch, but when she disappears under mysterious circumstances, it falls to Wren to navigate the dark and winding world of witchcraft she never knew existed.

    Can Wren step into her own power before it’s too late?

    Accidental revolutionaries.

    Charlie and the others hadn’t set out to free the galaxy, but fate had other plans…and so did the ancient AI robot, Lenny, who brought them together. And brought them to Sanctuary.

    Now, a whole planet of Copperell refugees looks to Charlie for leadership and his first task as their commander is to find weapons to arm the AI-guided zoo ships that are their only military fleet. And only the Anguilar have the weapons they need.

    For once, the operation goes off without a hitch, but during the mop-up, they discover the secret of a terrible superweapon the Anguilar have spent the last ten years constructing:
    The Nova Eclipse.

    It can destroy entire worlds, lay waste to solar systems, and it’s already claimed its first victims.

    And the next target is Strada.

    The Eclipse is massive, heavily armed and always accompanied by a deadly escort of Anguilar cruisers, and even with the weapons they stole, they’d never be able to take the force on in a stand-up fight.

    Charlie and the others have no choice but to do things the sneaky way, infiltrate the Eclipse…and destroy it from within.

    Or die trying.

    Humans … pets, meat, or mates.

    That’s the first thing I see when I open my eyes, that damn sign.

    Don’t fancy myself being sold for any of the above reasons, so I’m relieved when my buyer is killed by an …

    Um.

    Hot venom and horns and a violent grin.

    What the actual f*ck is that?! Or should I say who the actual f*ck is he?

    Because he’s definitely male. Definitely big. Definitely exuding pheromones that turn me into a much less rational human being.

    Hi, I’m Eve Wakefield, twenty-five years old, professional caterer, recently abducted by aliens alongside my best friend. I’m also completely and utterly screwed. Lost on a jungle planet. Rooming in a downed spaceship with a dragon dude. Being hunted by a moth man with demon eyes and vampire teeth. Begging for help from a tentacle-tailed fox man who also happens to be … a space cowboy?

    Here’s the thing: I desperately want to go back to Earth.

    But I am not leaving this place without my bestie, Jane Baker.

    And I can’t find her or get us home without the help of three males who just so happen to be ideal romantic matches for yours truly.

    Yay.

    Three very different men. Three very different lives for me to try out. Three very powerful romances.

    And only one thing matters: finding Jane.

    Then … then I’ll worry about the messy complications of finding myself perma-mated to aliens.

    Yeah, it’s a whole thing.

    PHEROMONE – book 1 of 3 in the For the Love of Aliens trilogy. This is a why choose/reverse harem alien romance. This story takes us from a wild forest to a sentient spaceship to a cosmic star chapel to a distant water-logged planet. What I’m trying to say is: don’t get too comfortable with your surroundings.

    Zander is in an auction house for the sole purpose of getting someone to sign a contract. He doesn’t have any interest in owning a blood slave—until he lays eyes on Max. That, he must have.

    Max is there for reasons of his own, mostly desperate reasons, and he’s braced himself for a year of hell. Which doesn’t seem to be forthcoming.

    Someone needs to explain to this vampire that he’s supposed to use Max, not spoil him. Zander doesn’t seem to get it.

    Callie:
    I’m on a quest to reach my sister, to claim her from the clutches of the vampires who seized my family and end the immortal life of the prince who claimed her.

    But the path this dark slayer is taking me on is rife with danger, though the kind he weaves is fast becoming my favourite temptation.

    Familiars watch us from the shadows, and one wrong move could see the vampires stalking us in the dark. But they aren’t my only concern anymore, because the gods of old are waking, and now one of them has their sights set on us.

    No matter what fate throws our way, I will rescue my family, even if it costs me everything.

    I’m so deeply involved in Erik Belvedere’s cunning plans, and the cost is rising by the hour. I’ll do anything I can to protect my family, but this ritual only ends one way.

    A human bride for a vampire prince.

    And the game is getting more deadly. Elite vampires are showing up dead in the city, and I’m sure I’ve seen the killer before…

    If only I could act on logic, maybe this wouldn’t be so impossible. But I’m starting to crave the monster who holds me captive.

    If I can’t break free of his allure, how will I ever save myself and those I love?

    ***This is a dark, fantasy romance series by the authors of Zodiac Academy with all the enemies to lovers vibes – don’t go expecting a sweet vampire with sparkling skin and a tendency to watch you sleeping.

There’s no well-meaning vampires snacking on Bambies instead of babies, and if they get their teeth into you, you’ll be damn lucky to escape with your life and panties intact. So grab hold of your slayer blade (wooden stakes have too many splinters) and get ready to defy the gods, because this is going to be one helluva ride***

    A standalone cosy fantasy about the power of good bookshops, great friends and the unexpected choices along the way from the bestselling author of BookTok sensation Legends & Lattes.

    First loves. Second-hand books. Epic adventures.

    Viv’s career with the renowned mercenary company Rackam’s Ravens isn’t going as planned. Wounded during the hunt for a powerful necromancer, she’s packed off against her will to recuperate in the sleepy beach town of Murk – so far from the action that she worries she’ll never be able to return to it. What’s a thwarted soldier of fortune to do?

    Spending her hours at a struggling bookshop in the company of its foul-mouthed proprietor is the last thing Viv would have predicted. Even though it may be exactly what she needs. Still, adventure isn’t far away. A suspicious traveller in grey, a gnome with a chip on her shoulder, a summer fling and an improbable number of skeletons prove Murk to be more eventful than Viv could have ever expected.

    Sometimes, right things happen at the wrong time. Sometimes, what we need isn’t what we seek. And sometimes, we find ourselves in the stories we experience together . . .
