Summary

Power Grid Collapse explores the fragility of urban centers when faced with extended power outages, a growing concern given our increasing dependence on electricity. The book investigates the technical vulnerabilities of interconnected power grids, referencing historical blackouts like the Northeast Blackout of 1965 and the New York City blackout of 1977 to analyze societal responses and infrastructure failures. A key insight is that current emergency preparedness might be inadequate for long-term, widespread outages, highlighting the urgent need for proactive measures. 

 
The book adopts an analytical approach, drawing on data from power grid operators, historical event analyses, and urban planning research. It progresses from explaining power grid operations to examining vulnerabilities, then analyzes historical blackouts and culminates in recommendations for improving urban resilience. 

 
The central argument emphasizes infrastructure hardening and decentralized energy solutions as vital components of urban survival strategies, making this book a valuable resource for policymakers, urban planners, and anyone concerned about the resilience of modern cities.

    "Essential reading for lovers of the Great outdoors" —Roger Cox, Scotsman magazine 
 
 
 
Longlisted for the 2022 Highland Book Prize 
 
 
 
In 2019, Jenna Watt took part in the stalking of a hind on the vast Highland estate of Corrour: part of an immersive attempt to understand the ideas that lie behind 'rewilding', and what it means emotionally and physically to participate in Scotland's deer cull. Piece by piece and chapter by chapter she unravels the story of that one day spent hunting the hind, interlaced with her discovery that her ancestors were deer stalkers, game keepers, and ghillies on a Highland estate, who once took part in increasingly controversial land practices like muirburn and species persecution. 
 
 
 
This exploration leads her into the complex and often conflict-ridden world of the rewilding movement. 
 
 
 
In the process, Jenna comes to better understand the meaning of 'wildness', the shifting baselines of 'rewilding', and, in a world beset by climate change and species extinction, how to cope, both as an individual and as a society, with the concept of ecological grief.
