Synopsis

Frozen Fossils explores the fascinating world of ice age megafauna preserved in permafrost, offering insights into Earth's past climate and ecosystems. These frozen remains, like woolly mammoths and woolly rhinos, provide invaluable data about the Pleistocene epoch. One intriguing fact is that some specimens are so well-preserved that their last meals are still intact, offering clues about their diets. The book highlights how studying these fossils helps us understand the impacts of climate change and predict future ecological shifts by examining the anatomical and genetic insights gleaned from these specimens. The book presents a fact-based, scientific exploration of how scientists excavate, analyze, and interpret these frozen finds using methods like radiocarbon dating and DNA sequencing. It emphasizes the interdisciplinary connections between paleontology, climatology, and genetics, showing how these fields combine to reconstruct ancient ecosystems. Frozen Fossils progresses by introducing permafrost and preservation conditions before detailing specific species and the scientific methods used to study them, avoiding sensationalism and focusing on balanced scientific evidence.

    In 1520, Albrecht Dürer, the most celebrated artist in Northern Europe, sailed to Zeeland to see a whale. A central figure of the Renaissance, no one had painted or drawn the world like him. Dürer drew hares and rhinoceroses in the way he painted saints and madonnas. The wing of a bird or the wing of an angel; a spider crab or a bursting star like the augury of a black hole, in Dürer's art, they were part of a connected world. Everything had meaning. 
     
     
     
    But now he was in crisis. He had lost his patron, the Holy Roman Emperor. He was moorless and filled with wanderlust. In the shape of the whale, he saw his final ambition. 
     
     
     
    Dürer was the first artist to truly employ the power of reproduction. He reinvented the way people looked at, and understood, art. Most startling and most modern of all, he painted himself, at every stage of his life. 
     
     
     
    But his art captured more than the physical world, he also captured states of mind. 
     
     
     
    Albert and the Whale explores the work of this remarkable man through a personal lens. Drawing on Philip's experience of the natural world, and of the elements that shape our contemporary lives, from suburbia to the wide open sea, Philip will enter Dürer's time machine.

    What you feed the soil, you 
    feed yourself! 
    In his riveting new book, Soil is Not A Dirty Word, Craig Castree shares 
    urgent insights into the symbiotic relationships between plants and the 
    microscopic worlds of bacteria and fungi that sustain them. This book will 
    transform the way you see the ground beneath your feet. 
    During his three-year dive down the rabbit hole to discover the shocking 
    truths hidden in soil, Castree discovered that our understanding of soil has 
    been fundamentally flawed for over 80 years. 
    While soil might not be the typical topic of conversation, it’s time it became 
    a priority. Modern agricultural practices promised increased productivity 
    but have instead led to diminishing returns. Our topsoil—the thin layer 
    that nourishes the planet—erodes at an alarming rate, and autoimmune 
    diseases rise as the soil microbiome becomes more disconnected from 
    plant and human microbiomes. 
    Soil is Not A Dirty Word goes beyond just sounding the alarm, it offers a 
    solution after solution to the problems most of us never knew we had with 
    soil. With a regenerative approach that revitalises the soil, reduces reliance 
    on chemical inputs, and restores its nutrient density, Castree’s strategies 
    promise to revolutionise edible gardening, farming, and growing food plants. 
    This isn’t just a manual for gardeners and farmers—this is a call to action for 
    anyone concerned about our planet’s future, our health, and the legacy we 
    leave for generations to come.
