  Red Leviathan - The Secret...

  The Soviet Union killed over six hundred thousand whales in the twentieth century, many of them illegally and secretly. That catch helped bring many whale species to near extinction by the 1970s, and the impacts of this loss of life still ripple through today’s oceans. In this new account, based on formerly secret Soviet archives and interviews with ex-whalers, environmental historian Ryan Tucker Jones offers a complete history of the role the Soviet Union played in the whales' destruction. 
   
   
   
  As other countries—especially the United States, Great Britain, Japan, and Norway—expanded their pursuit of whales to all corners of the globe, Stalin determined that the Soviet Union needed to join the hunt. Cold War intrigue encouraged this destruction, but, as Jones shows, there is a more complex history behind this tragic Soviet experiment. Jones compellingly describes the ultimate scientific irony: today's cetacean studies benefited from Soviet whaling, as Russian scientists on whaling vessels made key breakthroughs in understanding whale natural history and behavior. 
   
   
   
  Red Leviathan reveals how the Soviet public began turning against their country's whaling industry, working in parallel with Western environmental organizations like Greenpeace to help end industrial whaling—not long before the world's whales might have disappeared altogether.

  Willpower is not the answer. Design is everything.
   
  If you or someone you love has tried to quit drinking, gambling, scrolling, or using—only to relapse again and again—you know the shame of being told to “just try harder.” But the real problem isn't your willpower. It's your brain.
   
  Addiction and Recovery Rewired integrates the latest neuroscience, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and relapse prevention engineering into a step‑by‑step program that works for both substance addictions (alcohol, opioids, cannabis) and behavioral addictions (gambling, pornography, gaming, social media, shopping).
   
  You will discover:
   
  Why your prefrontal cortex—the brain's CEO—gets hijacked and how to rebuild it.
   
  The 15‑minute craving wave and how to surf it instead of fighting it.
   
  A 2‑Minute Interruption Protocol to break the ritual of use before it starts.
   
  How to design your home, phone, and daily routines so sobriety becomes the path of least resistance.
   
  A week‑by‑week neurochemical roadmap for the first 90 days—and what to expect when anhedonia (the inability to feel pleasure) lasts longer.
   
  Family dynamics: how to stop enabling, set a Non‑Negotiable Contract, and repair trust.
   
  Why community is medicine and how to find your recovery tribe—whether in 12‑step, SMART Recovery, or online.
   
  No more white‑knuckling. No more shame. Just a science‑based, compassionate path to a life you don't want to escape.
   
  You don't quit an addiction. You replace it with a life worth staying sober for.

  Read by the author, Tim Smedley.The Times Book of the Year pickA gripping, thought-provoking and ultimately optimistic investigation into the world’s next great climate crisis – the scarcity of water.‘Smart, sobering, and scholarly. ’ – Steve Brusatte, author of The Rise and Fall of DinosaursWater scarcity is the next big climate crisis. Water stress – not just scarcity, but also quality issues caused by pollution – is already driving the first waves of climate refugees. Rivers are drying out before they meet the oceans and ancient lakes are disappearing. It’s increasingly clear that human mismanagement of water is dangerously unsustainable, for both ecological and human survival. And yet in recent years some key countries have been quietly and very successfully addressing water stress.How are Singapore and Israel, for example – both severely water-stressed countries – not in the same predicament as Chennai or California?In The Last Drop, award-winning environmental journalist Tim Smedley meets experts, victims, activists and pioneers to find out how we can mend the water table that our survival depends upon. He offers a fascinating, universally relevant account of the environmental and human factors that have led us to this point, and suggests practical ways to address the crisis, before it’s too late.'You will never see the water you use in the same way again' – Helen Czerski, BBC broadcaster
