  Before the podcast and the smartphone, there was the cassette tape and the Walkman — two devices that, although not considered much today, were revolutionary. They were recordable, rewritable, spliceable, compact, and mobile. For the first time, they allowed you to move through the world and listen to a voice speaking only to you. These cassette tapes brought us together, pulled us apart, and forever changed how we say those three simple words, ‘I love you.’ In five episodes from around the world, Mixtape explores the impact the cassette had and continues to have today.

  The island of Britain has over 10,000 miles of coastline, steeped in history and constantly shifting, changing, adapting and providing. The Restless Coast is a moving and beautiful account of a journey around it, during which the author travels its length to discover its challenges and opportunities, and to talk to the people trying to protect it.
  
  
  At once delightful travelogue and passionate defence, The Restless Coast shines a powerful spotlight into the thin line that surrounds us, and defines our status as islanders. Overarching the journey is the extraordinary natural history of the coastline, together with the story of how man has imprinted himself on its very geology and shape for countless centuries. Into the account, Roger Morgan-Grenville threads the modern challenges that the shoreline faces, and the people who are trying to protect it. At once informative, angry and funny, The Restless Coast is a very personal love letter to our island edge.

  CEO-Led Sales outlines The Right Model to revolutionise your sales process and dramatically improve your confidence in the predictability of your sales numbers. This has to start from the top with you, the CEO. 
  As the CEO of a sales organisation, how many times have you said to yourself: 
  "thank god our customers are buying because we're not selling" 
  "we had ten-times pipeline coverage, but we still missed our number?" 
  Or ... heard from your sales leads the following: 
  "the person who was going to sign off on our deal has gone on leave" 
  "this is a strategic deal - we must discount to win" 
  "they decided to do nothing?" 
  If these lines sound familiar, then your sales team is stuck in the past. They are struggling to keep pace 
  with the market and will continue to stumble into the future. That's not to say you won't make your 
  numbers on occasion, but you can be guaranteed your company won't be the clear leader in its market. 
  This creates distrust with your sales team and that uneasy feeling of not being sure you will meet your 
  targets. 
  Is there a better way? 
  After twenty years as a senior IT sales leader addressing this problem and demonstrating measurable 
  success across multiple organisations, Andrew Phillips knows there is. 
  CEO-Led Sales outlines The Right Model to revolutionise your sales process and dramatically improve 
  your confidence in the predictability of your sales numbers. This has to start from the top with you, the 
  CEO. 
  The process is a multi-year investment to transform your sales organisation. It's challenging, but the 
  results are consistent and the revenue reliable. Andrew Phillips invites you to take the next step and 
  discover the benefits of CEO-Led Sales.

  Strata - Stories from Deep Time

  Laura Poppick

  The epic stories of our planet's 4.54-billion-year history are written in strata―ages-old remnants of ancient seafloors, desert dunes, and riverbeds striping landscapes around the world. In this brilliantly original debut work, science writer Laura Poppick decodes strata to lead us on a journey through four global transformations that made our lives on Earth possible: the first accumulations of oxygen in the atmosphere; the deep freezes of "Snowball Earth"; the rise of mud on land and accompanying proliferation of plants; and the dinosaurs' reign on a hothouse planet 
  Poppick introduces us to the researchers who have devoted their careers to understanding the events of deep time. She travels to sites as various as a Minnesotan iron mine that runs half a mile deep and a corner of the Australian Outback where glacial deposits date from the coldest times on Earth. Ultimately, she demonstrates that the planet's oceans, continents, atmosphere, life, and ice have always conspired to bring stability to Earth, even if we are only just beginning to understand how these different facets interact. 
  A work in the tradition of John McPhee, Strata allows us to observe how the planet has responded to past periods of environmental upheaval, and shows how Earth's ancient narratives could hold lessons for our present and future.
