Synopsis

'Ajay's passion for conservation and his encyclopaedic knowledge of Wicken Fen ooze out of every single page' - Iolo Williams
Tucked away in the flat lands of rural East Anglia lies Wicken Fen, so loved for its big skies and tiny creatures, boasting over 9,000 recorded species. For 125 years, this wildlife sanctuary has been cared for by the National Trust. A dedicated team look after this precious wetland of international importance, working with herds of free-roaming horses and cattle and weathering the elements to cope creatively with the dramas of a life outdoors at the cutting edge of conservation.
Wetland Diaries is a seasonal account of ranger life on Wicken Fen, saving a once widespread landscape and revealing the spectrum of emotions experienced in the process. Ajay shares the spirit and atmosphere of the Fens, offering an insight into the privileges and pressures of managing semi-wild animals in one of the country's first wetland restoration projects, creating precious breathing space for nature and people alike.

    In Plain Sight investigates the mystery of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and the secretive government operations surrounding them. The book explores high-level revelations about military encounters, covert investigations, and the evidence suggesting that UFOs are not just the stuff of conspiracy theories but a significant, unexplained phenomenon. Drawing on interviews and classified documents, it presents a compelling case for the existence of extraterrestrial encounters and the cover-ups that have obscured the truth.

    We live in a capitalist world in which supply determines demand. If you reduce supply or increase demand, society will be obliged to accept scarcity, whether genuine or perceived. On February 16, 2021, the artist Beeple sold his Everyday: The First 5000 Days for a record-breaking $69.3 million in cryptocurrency at Christie's auction house. No auction house had before authorized the sale of digital files created on blockchain technology, nor had they ever accepted cryptocurrencies as a payment option. Bitcoin shares have already climbed to over $24,000 during the Covid-19 epidemic of 2020, a 224 percent increase. Two months after Beeple's historic art auction, Bitcoin set a new high of more than $64,000 per share on April 14, 2021. As a result, everyone's attention was drawn to NFTs, new cryptocurrencies, and the blockchain.Visual artists and musicians, writers, videographers, and others in the creative industries became aware of NFTs and the benefits they could provide to the art community. While the physical world appeared to be shutting down, the digital cosmos survived, grew, and entered new paradigms. Using the Internet as a revenue source during a global pandemic was a clever, new, and modern way for artists to continue their livelihoods. Artists have been able to advertise themselves to a wider audience as the NFT industry increases and become more mainstream, even if they have a minimal history in digital arts. Well-known public figures also benefit, perhaps reducing financial chances for lesser artists. Major brand familiarity and high-profile influencers encourage transactions across large corporations. Celebrities are now not only producing limited edition NFTs but also branding their own "social money." Social currency is a type of cryptocurrency released by a brand, community, or influencer to make their fans feel important and a part of their particular fandom.This book examines the technical underpinnings of cryptocurrencies and blockchain, notably

    Elephants today live on only 15% of the land they once roamed. With each passing day, another acre of nature is destroyed by human beings, replaced by agriculture, settlement and other man-made business. With each passing day, Asia’s remaining wild elephants are squeezed onto smaller pieces of land onto which they’re expected to survive. Wildlife photographer Larry Laverty has followed the plight of the elephants for several decades, capturing the magnificence of this animal on film, while at the same time raising awareness all over the world of the danger of extinction that elephants face. For this book, Larry spent months travelling across Asia following elephants and recording extraordinary moments on his camera. The result is an amazing book of some 180 photographs, presented in landscape format, of one of Earth’s greatest creatures. It’s through his work and books that Larry hopes to give the elephants of Asia the respect they deserve… ”We are finally acknowledging a force of nature that’s been with us all along. Elephants are magnetic. But until now, we humans haven’t had the ability to see, to appreciate this fact.”

    When the tech platforms promised a future of "connection," they were lying. They said their "walled gardens" would keep us safe, but those were prison walls. 
    The platforms locked us into their systems and made us easy pickings, ripe for extaction. Twitter, Facebook and other Big Tech platforms hard to leave by design. They hold hostage the people we love, the communities that matter to us, the audiences and customers we rely on. The impossibility of staying connected to these people after you delete your account has nothing to do with technological limitations: it's a business strategy in service to commodifying your personal life and relationships. 
    We can - we must - dismantle the tech platforms. In The Internet Con, Cory Doctorow explains how to seize the means of computation, by forcing Silicon Valley to do the thing it fears most: interoperate. Interoperability will tear down the walls between technologies, allowing users leave platforms, remix their media, and reconfigure their devices without corporate permission. 
    Interoperability is the only route to the rapid and enduring annihilation of the platforms. The Internet Con is the disassembly manual we need to take back our internet.
