Summary

Ever wonder how Earth has survived this long? It's dodged comets, asteroids, and cosmic chaos for billions of years. In Earth's Enduring Legacy, we explore the surprising science behind our planet's incredible resilience.
 
 
 
This book is a cosmic biography. It's a deep dive into the solar system's history. We look at the forces that have shaped Earth.  Think Jupiter's gravitational pull.  The icy Oort Cloud. Even the Moon plays a part. We explore the asteroid belt and its dangers. We uncover the mysteries of the "Late Heavy Bombardment."  We ask if Earth is truly unique.  And we examine the role of chaos and dark matter.
 
 
 
Most books focus on the threats themselves.  Earth's Enduring Legacy goes further. It reveals the intricate safeguards woven into the fabric of the cosmos. We uncover the unexpected ways our solar system protects Earth.  We examine the delicate balance of gravity, the role of space weather, and even the potential for Earth's biosphere to play a part in its own defense. This book offers a new perspective on our planet's survival, one that emphasizes resilience and the interconnectedness of cosmic forces.

  • Forgotten Forests: Twelve Thousand Years of British and Irish Woodlands - cover

    Forgotten Forests: Twelve...

    Ancient trees, some over a thousand years old, are dotted around the British Isles, the last survivors of a lost world. Now, new scientific studies of these trees and of fossilised forests and of our oldest wooden artifacts can help us to understand the many woodlands that have disappeared from our landscapes. 
    Locked in ice for more than twenty thousand years, the lands that now make up Britain and Ireland were some of the last settled by humans. The earliest people, Mesolithic hunter-gatherers like Cheddar Man, arrived around eleven thousand years ago to find dense forests. While they lived lightly, they did introduce fire, which they used to create clearings, and this was the beginning of the reshaping of Britain’s forests. 
    When Neolithic farmers migrated to Britain from Europe some six thousand years ago, it meant a violent end to the hunter-gatherers’ way of life. It also indicated a dramatic change for the ecosystems. Forests were cleared for fields, trees and plants fed to livestock and predators hunted. A wild, forested world became one of agriculture and villages. 
    As humans learned to work bronze, then iron, they also used wood in myriad ways, building homes, then cathedrals, hand tools then furniture and early machines, boats and eventually immense ships. The forests of Britain and Ireland fuelled the burgeoning human civilisation, from the Romans, Anglo Saxons, Vikings and Normans, to the British, Scottish, Welsh and Irish peoples through to the present day. In that time our woodlands have changed beyond recognition, but clues to their story remain. Biologist and Britain’s first senior officer for Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty Jonathan Mullard retraces the history of the forgotten forests of Britain and Ireland, piecing together historical records going as far back as the written word and archaeological evidence going back far further. The result is a wealth of arcane anecdotes and the latest scientific understanding of our natural history, as well as a fascinating journey through the forests, landscapes and human history of Britain. 
    In his latest non-fiction work, Forgotten Forests, Jonathan Mullard takes us on a journey through time, exploring the habitats that once covered Britain and Ireland. His deep understanding of ecology and passion for nature shine through in this compelling narrative of human impact and ecological transformation. 
    For fans of Robert Macfarlane (Is a River Alive?), and Rough Guides (The Rough Guide to Morocco).

    The information in this ebook on various aspects of using the Internet to your advantage is organised into 20 chapters of about 500-600 words each. 
    I hope that it will interest those who are hoping to make money on line. In fact, the number of people trying to make (some extra) money online has skyrocketed over the last ten or twelve years, but especially since the Covid-19 lockdowns. 
    Not everything can be blamed on Covid-19 though. Britain, for example, has suffered twelve years of ‘austerity’ brought in by a government that seems no longer to care about the electorate. First they blamed the banking crisis; then the influx of foreign labour; then Covid; and now Brexit and the war in the Ukraine. No doubt you have heard similar excuses where you live. Anyway, the result has been exorbitant inflation and a reduction in wages, and that has led to enterprising people trying improve their situation by working online. This book is for you. I hope that it helps.

    Brilliant, witty, perceptive essays about fly-fishing, the natural world, and life in general by the acknowledged master of fishing writers. 
     
     
     
    "Once an angler has become serious about the sport (and 'serious' is the word that's used), he'll never again have enough tackle or enough time to use it. And his nonangling friends and family may never again entirely recognize him, either." In other words, he (or she) will have entered Gierach territory. 
     
     
     
    Whether debating bamboo versus graphite rods, describing the pleasure of fishing in pocket waters or during a spring snow in the mountains, or recounting a trip in pursuit of the "fascinatingly ugly" longnose gar, Gierach understands that fly-fishing is more than a sport. It's a way of life in which patience is (mostly) rewarded, the rhythms of the natural world are appreciated, and the search for the perfect rod or ideal stream is never ending. It is not a life without risks, for as Gierach warns: "This perspective on things can change you irreparably. If it comes to you early enough in life, it can save you from ever becoming what they call 'normal.'" Even Brook Trout Get the Blues will convince you that "normal" is greatly overrated.

    A restorative and resonant memoir of a year in the life of an aging shepherd 
    		 
    For 50 years, Barbara McLean has tended a flock of Border Leicester sheep on her small Ontario farm, Lambsquarters. In Shepherd’s Sight she shares the crises, pleasures, and challenges of farm life over the course of a year. Now in her 70s, McLean faces a new problem: how much longer she can continue with the physically taxing work that is her central source of meaning and satisfaction.  
    		 
    Through her unsentimental gaze, we witness the highs and heartbreaks of delivering and rearing lambs, the shearing and spinning of wool, the wildlife in the woods (and occasionally in the house), and the garden produce moving from seed to harvest to table. Even after half a century on this land, McLean is still making fresh observations, and she shares them in evocative, elegant prose. As she moves through the calendar year, she also reflects on years past, offering a long view on climate, stewardship, and agriculture. 
    		 
    With its vivid description and absorbing storytelling, Shepherd’s Sight offers an unforgettable glimpse of a life lived on the land.
