Summary

Drowned Lands explores the fascinating history of submerged lands and lost civilizations, examining the geological and cultural forces behind their disappearance beneath the sea. This book delves into how geological processes, like plate tectonics and sea-level fluctuations, contribute to the submergence of landmasses and human settlements. Intriguingly, Doggerland, once a vast area connecting Britain to continental Europe, now lies beneath the North Sea, demonstrating these powerful forces at work. The book uniquely blends earth sciences, history, and mythology to understand these drowned lands.

 
It progresses from introducing the concept of submerged landscapes to investigating geological forces, examining specific lost settlements like Port Royal, Jamaica, and analyzing related myths such as Atlantis.

 
By understanding past submergences, we can gain critical insights into the dynamic relationship between humanity and the environment, offering valuable lessons for navigating our changing world and informing coastal management strategies in the face of climate change and coastal erosion.
Available since: 02/27/2025.

    Join the reverse-aging revolution!

When board-certified physician Julianna Lindsey opened her Radiant Longevity clinic at the start of the COVID pandemic, she knew she was up against a gigantic, profit-oriented "sick-care" industry run on false promises and quick fixes, and endlessly pitching its unproven interventions and persistent vices to a society hooked on feeling better now-who cared about later. Guided by a passion for her patients, equipped with the latest research, and continually validated by results in both her clients and her personal experience, Dr. Lindsey set out to fight back against generations of harmful habits and medical practices responsible for an epidemic of accelerated aging.

In Radiant Longevity: A Physician's Protocol for Living Your Best Life, Dr. Lindsey provides a holistic, option-packed approach to longevity that covers your head to your toes, with clear and specific guidance on how to slow your body's aging and feel better from the inside out. With loads of evidence-based advice culminating in The Lindsey Plan, Dr. Lindsey describes:

How to track and monitor our health on a manageable day-to-day basis (and accessible technologies we can use to help us along the way)

How to cultivate healthy sleep habits, even in the most challenging conditions

What to eat (recipes included!), what definitely not to eat, and what to eat less of to manage weight and stay thriving into the decades ahead

Misconceptions about effective exercise and how we can tailor an approach to fitness specifically to our own needs and abilities

How our mental health plays an equal role in aging, and how we can all tend to it with care-and that's just scratching the surface!

A perfect balance of instruction and motivation, this book is more than just a guide-it's a lifeline to a healthier, happier future. Join Dr. Lindsey and start your journey to feeling your best not only today, but for all the years to come!

    This is the story of an astonishing transformation as Wales entered the twenty-first century embracing a new democratic direction. The Senedd, designed by architect Richard Rogers, rose as the country’s distinctive ultramodern forum, the expression of the people’s voices and diversity.  
 
Senedd documents the rise of Cardiff as a city and place of government through to the concepts, challenges and final acheivements of the Senedd building itself, superbly photographed by Andrew Molyneux.  
 
Trevor Fishlock’s rigorously researched account provides an extensive background, highlighting not only the unique design of the building and the process of its completion but also the even greater significance of what it continues to represent for Wales. The book also includes a conversation conducted by Fishlock with the late architect Richard Rogers and firm partner Ivan Harbour on their vision for the project and its execution.

    A revelatory and wide-ranging exploration of HMS Britannic—her life at sea and on the seabed—by the owner of her wreck. 
 
 
 
Launched in 1914, two years after the ill-fated voyage of her sister ship, RMS Titanic, the Britannic was intended to be superior to her tragic twin in every way. But war intervened and in 1915 she was requisitioned as a hospital ship. Just one year later, while on her way to collect troops wounded in the Balkans campaign, she fell victim to a mine laid by a German U-boat and tragically sank in the middle of the Aegean Sea. 
 
 
 
There her wreck lay, at a depth of 400 feet, until it was discovered fifty-nine years later by legendary explorer Jacques Cousteau. In 1996 the wreck was bought by the author of this book, Simon Mills. 
 
 
 
Exploring the Britannic tells the complete story of this enigmatic ship: her construction, launch and life, her fateful last voyage, and the historical findings resulting from the exploration of the well-preserved wreck over a period of forty years. This book finally details how the mysteries surrounding the 100-year-old enigma were laid to rest, and what the future might also hold for her.

    Uncommon infections represent the frontiers of medical challenge, where diagnostic complexity, rapid progression, and severe outcomes converge to create some of the most daunting scenarios in clinical medicine. This comprehensive exploration delves into three distinct yet equally consequential infections—Meningitis, Elephantiasis (Lymphatic Filariasis), and Legionella pneumophila infection—each exemplifying the remarkable diversity of microbial pathogenesis and the profound ways in which rare infections can transform human health and lives. 
The narrative of rare and severe infections extends beyond their medical rarity; it encompasses the intricate biological mechanisms, unique transmission patterns, and complex clinical presentations that make these conditions simultaneously fascinating to researchers and devastating to patients. By examining the neurological inflammation of meningitis, the disfiguring lymphatic disruption of elephantiasis, and the respiratory assault of Legionella, this book illuminates how different pathogenic organisms exploit specific biological vulnerabilities to produce extraordinarily consequential diseases. Readers will journey through the epidemiological landscapes where these infections emerge—from the global burden of meningococcal disease to the tropical endemic regions of lymphatic filariasis and the modern built environments where Legionella thrives—while exploring the scientific advances in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention that offer hope against these formidable pathogens.
