  An addictively free-ranging survey of the massive impact that the humble and loveable sheep have had on human history.From the plains of ancient Mesopotamia to the rolling hills of medieval England to the vast sheep farms of modern-day Australia, the domesticated ungulates of the genus Ovis—sheep—have been central to the human story.Starting with our Neolithic ancestors' first forays into sheep-rearing nearly 10,000 years ago, these remarkable animals have fed us, clothed us, changed our diet and languages, helped us to win wars, decorated our homes, and financed the conquest of large swathes of the earth. Enormous fortunes and new, society-changing industries have been made from the fleeces of sheep, and cities shaped by shepherds' markets and meat trading.Sally Coulthard weaves the rich and fascinating story of sheep into a vivid and colorful tapestry, thickly threaded with engaging anecdotes and remarkable ovine facts, whose multiple strands reflect the deep penetration of these woolly animals into every aspect of human society and culture.

  The Water That Remembers is a book about fluency, not fear. 
  In this deeply personal and rigorously grounded narrative, Christopher Connolly invites listeners to stand at the shoreline of the Great Lakes and ask a simple question: What does the water carry forward—and what do we? 
  Blending environmental science, culinary tradition, public health, and family memory, Connolly explores how mercury, PFAS, and other contaminants move silently through ecosystems—and into the meals we serve the people we love. But this is not a story of alarm. It is a story of translation. 
  From early mornings on northern Michigan docks to the legacy of unintended military and corporate contamination… from sediment cores and bioaccumulation to the quiet precision of a filet knife… this audiobook traces how awareness can deepen tradition instead of destroy it. 
  Through clear storytelling and grounded science, Connolly introduces a practical framework— Check. Choose. Clean. Create. — designed to help families, anglers, chefs, and communities protect both health and heritage without abandoning the water that shaped them. 
  This is environmental literacy without panic. Stewardship without shame. Culture without denial. 
  For anyone who fishes, cooks, serves food, raises children, or cares about the future of our freshwater systems, The Water That Remembers offers something rare: 
  Clarity. 
  Because the water keeps score. 
  The question is whether we choose to listen.

  The World Wars of the 20th century caused massive upheavals all over the world. Often overlooked by history are the extraordinary true-life stories of the brave women from the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand who enlisted in the Allied forces in their thousands to serve as nurses behind the front lines, at great danger to themselves. And while men shot to kill in the North African, European, and the Pacific theaters of war, nurses served right behind them, armed with tools of healing rather than warfare. 
  These untold true stories of women heroes of WWII paint a vivid picture of life as a military nurse—from makeshift field hospitals in France to bombed-out station hospitals in Belgium to journeys fraught with danger on ambulance trains, air ambulances, and hospital ships. 
  Inside Nightingales, Bluebirds & Angels of Mercy: True Stories of the Courage and Heroism of Nurses on the Front Line in WWII, you’ll learn the true stories of nurses in the Second World War, including 
  ●      what it was like for a woman to join the armed services as a nurse and travel across the world to do her duty, 
  ●      the challenges and dangers the Allied nurses faced on the front lines, as well as the camaraderie and wartime romances they experienced, 
  ●      how these women confronted changing social norms around gender and race, 
  ●      true stories of survival at the hands of enemy forces in Japanese prisoner-of-war camps, and more. 
  The stories of these brave women are an inspiring record of duty and selflessness. If you haven’t yet met heroes such as Vivian Bullwinkel and Margot Turner, you’ll definitely want to listen to this book.

  The connected world offers the potential for radical new business insights gleaned from previously unimaginable volumes of data. But business has got bogged down in the process of collecting and storing that data; money has been wasted on data lakes in which many IT departments have drowned without being able to deliver useful insights to business leaders. Big data has new and exciting answers to offer, but business leaders must first decide what questions it would like to see answered. Data may be the new oil, but to date we have only built oil depots. This book analyses the new, Fourth Wave of business transformation, which will build the refineries that turn data into useful products. Business has started from ‘data up’ and needs to start again from ‘value down’, going back to the drivers of real business value and deciding what insights would help realize that value. Only then can we begin to interrogate data with purpose.

  The environmental crisis will not be solved by battery technology. We are looking for answers in the wrong places.
  
  
  
  Life began with the hydrogenation of CO2, and this is the process we must return to in order to heal the planet. Ground-breaking ongoing research into bacterial processes means our knowledge of bacterial processes is ever-expanding, and we can harness this new knowledge to develop a parallel carbon economy using engineered bacteria for fuel, food, and materials. This would enable rewilding on a vast scale, with the small land footprint of bacterial technologies solving the current conflict in land use between farming and fuel and materials production.
  
  
  
  In this fascinating and illuminating book, Peter Forbes shines a light on this crucial technology and offers a tantalising glimpse at what is possible. To solve the big problems, sometimes you have to think small.
