  'Utterly brilliant - engaging, thrilling, disturbing, revelatory, explosive' GEORGE MONBIOT'This extraordinary book, written with startling honesty and vulnerability, traces Charlie's remarkable journey from deep despair to resistance, reconnection and remedy. If you are ready to channel grief within into action in the world, read on.' KATE RAWORTH, author of Doughnut Economics: Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st-Century Economist'Spinning Out is a salve, weaving together the intricacies of madness underscored by the backdrop of a changing climate. It's an essential and insightful resource in the fight for climate justice.' TORI TSUI, author of It's Not Just You'Heart-rendingly, heart-stoppingly glorious' MANDA SCOTT, author of bestselling Boudica seriesHumanity is driving the earth mad. Now, the earth is driving us mad in return. Charlie Hertzog Young became a climate activist in his early teens. His journey led him onto airport runways and into the halls of power, but also to a serious mental health breakdown. He had to rebuild himself physically and psychologically, before focusing his efforts on collective mental recovery in response to a planet in crisis.Spinning Out explores how climate chaos and the failure of those in power to tackle it are causing an inevitable mental health crisis across the globe. The relationship between the climate and our emotional wellbeing goes far deeper than eco-anxiety. It goes to he roots of our civilisation - its principles, its practices and its false solutions.With testimony from dozens of activists, organisers and researchers across every habitable continent, Spinning Out is a celebration (of other ways to be) and a manual for anyone who wants to fight for a better world, while avoiding burnout and despair.Wedding the needs of the earth with the needs of the human mind, Spinning Out offers a powerful, collective vision for change.

  Flint - a lithic love letter

  'A very British love-letter to the beauty of flint' Daily Telegraph
  Joanne Bourne has been in awe of flint as long as she can remember.
  It was all around her where she grew up in Kent: used for garden walls, to edge drives and weight dustbin lids, as well as to build pubs, churches, Roman villas and castles. For centuries it was the only building stone available.
  It is also magical. Made from the remains of plankton and sea sponges, it is second only in hardness to a diamond and can be used to make fire. Part of human development for three million years, it was used as a weapon to hunt and in war, and hung as protection against thunderbolts and fairies.
  In a deeply personal love letter to this extraordinary 'biogenic' rock, Bourne traces its geological, architectural and social history and invites us to roam with her in search of it on her beloved North Downs.
  Fusing science, poetry, history and a profound love of landscape, this is her heartfelt, thoroughly persuasive tribute to the stone she calls 'an art project of the great divine'.

  Parasitology - How These Tiny...

  Parasites are among the most successful and adaptable organisms on Earth, yet they often go unnoticed. From microscopic protozoa to large intestinal worms, these creatures have evolved remarkable strategies to exploit their hosts for survival. They infiltrate nearly every ecosystem, from the deepest oceans to the highest mountains, shaping the health, behavior, and evolution of countless species, including humans. Despite their negative reputation, parasites play an integral role in maintaining ecological balance, influencing biodiversity, and even driving evolutionary changes. 
  One of the most astonishing aspects of parasites is their sheer ubiquity. They infect nearly every living organism, from plants and insects to birds and mammals. Some parasites, like malaria-causing Plasmodium, have coexisted with humans for thousands of years, evolving alongside us in an ongoing battle for survival. Others, such as the toxoplasmosis-causing Toxoplasma gondii, subtly manipulate the behavior of their hosts to improve their chances of transmission. The ability of parasites to adapt to new environments and hosts makes them a fascinating subject of study, particularly as climate change and globalization increase their spread. 
  While parasites are often viewed as destructive, their influence extends far beyond causing disease. Many parasites regulate host populations, preventing overgrowth and maintaining ecological stability. Some even shape the behaviors of their hosts in ways that benefit entire ecosystems.
