    A Waterstones Best Book of 2024: Nature Writing 
    The untold story of rural Britain revealed through its artefacts 
    'A really lovely, fascinating book. I dived straight into this clever, joyous, celebration of nature, history, and – of course – the countryside.' Charles Spencer, author of The White Ship 
    For most of human history, we were rural folk.  
    Our daily lives were bound up with working the land, living within the rhythm of the seasons. We poured our energies into growing food, tending to animals and watching the weather. Family, friends and neighbours were often one and the same. Life revolved around the village and its key spaces and places – the church, the green, the school and the marketplace. 
    And yet rural life is oddly invisible our historical records. The daily routine of the peasant, the farmer or the craftsperson could never compete with the glamour of city life, war and royal drama. Lives went unrecorded, stories untold. 
    There is, though, one way in which we can learn about our rural past. The things we have left behind provide a connection that no document can match; physical artefacts are touchstones that breathe life into its history. From farming tools to children’s toys, domestic objects and strange curios, the everyday items of the past reveal fascinating insights into an often-forgotten way of life. Birth, death, celebration, work, crime, play, medicine, beliefs, diet and our relationship with nature can all be read from these remnants of our past. 
    From ancient artefacts to modern-day memorabilia, this startling book weaves a rich tapestry from the fragments of our rural past. 
    In her non-fiction book A Brief History of the Countryside in 100 Objects, Sally Coulthard explores the social and cultural dynamics of rural life in Europe. The book, steeped in anthropology and environmental conservation, emphasises the importance of regional studies and the protection of our environment. 
    For fans of Jane Cooper (The Lost Flock), Charles King (Every Valley), Lee Alan Dugatkin (Mr. Jefferson and the Giant Moose), James Rebanks (The Shepherd's View), and Clara Parkes (Vanishing Fleece).

    A groundbreaking scientific exploration of fatherhood that explains the biology of caregiving and redefines what it means to be a “good dad”Over the last decade, researchers have discovered that having a child profoundly transforms our brains, hormones, and sense of self. Most studies have (understandably) focused on mothers. Until recently, the transition to fatherhood has been overlooked.Now, in Dad Brain, University of Southern California Professor Darby Saxbe draws on her field-leading research on families to revolutionize our understanding of fatherhood. As Dr. Saxbe explains, across both animal and human societies, fathering behaviors vary widely. Male birds and fish are exemplary dads (Nemo’s father was no outlier; clownfish dads are particularly devoted), but involved fathers are rare among mammals. Human fatherhood is considered “facultative,” an optional but very useful adaptation. That’s where nonbiological factors such as love, obligation, culture, religion, and complex reproductive strategies come in, influencing the ways fathers respond to the needs of their children.In Dad Brain, Dr. Saxbe takes readers on a fatherhood world tour, from hunter-gatherers in the Congo to contemporary suburban dads, and into her lab at USC, where she investigates how caregiving alters men’s biology—including their brain architecture and hormone levels. Ultimately, she offers powerful evidence that great dads are made, not born. When men devote time and care to their children, their physiology adapts to set them up for success—and they can discover a richer and more connected life.In the tradition of bestselling books such as Hunt, Gather, Parent and The Anxious Generation, Dad Brain blends science, culture, and personal narrative to offer an illuminating, research-based understanding of fatherhood that will become a must-read for all parents.
