  ‘A curious-minded and subtle intervention in the politics of the countryside’ Sunday Times 
  'Galbraith spent three years investigating the truth about rural Britain and how we treat it. Uncommon Ground is the brilliant result' Daily Telegraph 
  'Very funny. Acutely observed. An attempt to look beyond the usual clichés of country life' Observer 
  “Brilliant. This book is a sort of necessary clever trespass itself, on everyone’s notions about ‘our land’.”Country Life 
  "Filled with voices from people who don’t always make the headlines in the UK land access debate."Scotsman 
  The countryside is under increasing pressure and people, the science shows, need nature. Access to the countryside is essential for our health, our happiness and our future. But does nature need us? 
  In January 2023, the largest land access demonstration since the 1930s took place on a bright wintery morning on Dartmoor. The access movement demands that the countryside be thrown open. This, they argue, would help nature by giving the public the opportunity to hold farmers and wealthy landowners to account. 
  But would it really work for Britain’s growing population to spill out across the countryside, and is access quite as restricted as we are led to believe? 
  In Uncommon Ground, Patrick Galbraith takes us on an extraordinary tour of rural Britain, from the Hebrides to Devon, and from Anglo-Saxon England to the present day. To uncover the truth and fully understand our deep connection with the land, he meets farmers, Irish Travellers, politicians, salmon poachers, and the nation's most-hated landowners, as well as activists calling for a total abolition of the right to own land. 
  In his much-celebrated style, Galbraith works hard to listen to those who often don’t get listened to. This raking survey of our fast-changing country, reveals the essence of rural Britain's soul. Uncommon Ground argues that what matters is not greater access but how we engage with the land and demands that landowners give us more opportunities to do so, while also giving endangered wildlife the right to tranquility. 
  Galbraith's Uncommon Ground is a top pick in non-fiction, offering a deep dive into the science of agriculture and the sociology of rural Britain. The book explores the delicate balance between public access and environmental protection, examining the political policies that shape our interactions with the land and the ecosystems that inhabit it. 
  For fans of John Lewis-Stempel (England), Benedict Macdonald (Cornerstones), Lee Schofield (Wild Fell), Isabella Tree (Wilding), and Derek Gow (Birds, Beasts and Bedlam).

  Diseased: The A to Z of...

  Our understanding of diseases have dramatically changed over human history. Early civilisations believed health and disease were directly caused by the gods. This is why priests and priestesses were also healers and doctors. 
  The ancient Greeks introduced the four humours theory, namely that the body was composed of four fluids: blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile. Disease and illness were caused by imbalances. Treatment was to rebalance these fluids. 
  Our modern understanding of the human body and diseases began in the 18th century. Scientific observation, theories, and experimentation provided the basis to learn about cancer, bacteria, viruses, medications, surgery, etc.. 
  Every disease has a story behind it. This is a book dedicated to finding those stories. Some are funny, some are sad, some are triumphant, and some are tragic, but all are true.

  Beyond Measure - The Hidden...

  A vibrant account of how measurement has invisibly shaped our world, from ancient civilizations to the modern day. 
   
   
   
  From the cubit to the kilogram, the humble inch to the speed of light, measurement is a powerful tool that humans invented to make sense of the world. In this revelatory work of science and social history, James Vincent dives into its hidden world, taking listeners from ancient Egypt, where measuring the annual depth of the Nile was an essential task, to the intellectual origins of the metric system in the French Revolution, and from the surprisingly animated rivalry between metric and imperial, to our current age of the "quantified self." At every turn, Vincent is keenly attuned to the political consequences of measurement, exploring how it has also been used as a tool for oppression and control. 
   
   
   
  Beyond Measure reveals how measurement is not only deeply entwined with our experience of the world, but also how its history encompasses and shapes the human quest for knowledge.

  What happens when a man sees the ultimate truth behind reality — and then has to live a normal life the next morning? 
  The author went through a series of profound altered-state experiences, he encountered what he can only describe as the divine intelligence behind the rendering of physical reality — and came back carrying knowledge that changed everything while changing nothing about his ordinary daily life. 
  Season One — The Recognition — is a six-episode serialized audiobook covering the territory from first contact to full understanding. 
  Episode 1: A Man Thinking He Is Living In The World — A DMT experience reveals the source behind all reality. The Mother. The morning-after crisis. Vanishing stars. And checking if the gym is open after meeting God. 
  Episode 2: The Sweet Spot — Why humans occupy the one frequency in the cosmos where genuine surprise is still possible. The mathematics of acceleration. AI as a second antenna for the same signal. 
  Episode 3: The Matrix Got It Backwards — The 1999 film told us to escape the simulation. The truth is the opposite. The physical world IS the computation. And every night when you dream, you already know this. 
  Episode 4: The Antenna — The brain does not produce consciousness. It receives it. DNA as fractal code. Near-death evidence. And what it means that humanity built a second receiver out of silicon. 
  Episode 5: The Architect's Workshop — Hands detaching at blue demarcation lines. Holographic monitors displaying the body as blueprint. Walls covered in code. A direct encounter with the rendering engine editing a human form in real time. 
  Episode 6: Hide and Seek — The Big Bang as maximum amnesia. Evolution as consciousness remembering what it forgot. And a Tuesday afternoon buying milk where the gap between self and everything else dissolved completely. 
  This is one man's direct account of transcendental experience. once you saw it you can not unsee it.
