  The lie of the land: that Britain’s landowners care for the countryside. 
  Our landowning elite are paid billions of taxpayer pounds to be good stewards. But these same landowners have carelessly trampled over our best-loved landscapes, leaving the rivers polluted, fenlands drained, and moorlands burned. 
  Guy Shrubsole has travelled across Britain to expose the lie and meet the communities fighting back to restore our lost landscapes. This is a bold, shared vision for our nation’s wild places, and how we can treat them with the awe and care they deserve.

  Delusional Disorder: Delusion...

  What is a delusion—and when does a fixed false belief become a disorder in its own right? Delusion Illness to Delusional Schizophrenia, Exploring Types and Characteristics offers the first comprehensive, integrative guide to delusional disorder, one of psychiatry’s most misunderstood conditions. Blending clinical expertise with lived experience, the book explores the full spectrum of delusion illness—from circumscribed paranoid beliefs to the overlap with delusional schizophrenia—and provides a clinical tour of the types of delusions that define this complex diagnosis.
   
  Drawing on best‑selling memoirs, pioneering research, and decades of clinical wisdom, this volume traces the history of diagnostic boundaries, from Kraepelin’s paranoia to today’s dimensional models. It details the characteristics of delusional disorder, including the non‑bizarre criterion, preserved functioning, and islands of insight, and offers practical guidance on pharmacotherapy, cognitive‑behavioral therapy, family intervention, and forensic considerations.
   
  Centering the voices of individuals like Elyn Saks and Esmé Weijun Wang, the book illuminates the terror, isolation, and hard‑won recovery of living with fixed false beliefs. It addresses families, cultural humility, and the ethical complexities of involuntary treatment—always returning to the person behind the delusion.
   
  For clinicians, trainees, families, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding, this book delivers rigorous science with deep humanity. Delusional disorder is real. But the person who holds it is always more.

  The Human Place in Nature -...

  John Schooneveldt

  This book explores a new approach to understanding the evolution of mind and consciousness by examining the perceptual abilities of animals and the way they experience their world. It offers a science-based, bottom-up approach to our own conscious worldview by seeing it through the eyes of others. Human ecologist John Schooneveldt emphasizes the role of context in evolution and the way animals internalize and engage with the contextual properties of their world that are meaningful for them. The core argument is that a context, which is subjective and comprised of the perceptual capacities, offers new insights into the evolution of mind. Rather than seeing biological evolution in terms of the emergence of mindless forms and cultural evolution as the emergence of disembodied minds, the book seeks to integrate these two perspectives through the rigorous mapping of contexts. 
   
  Key FeaturesReveals an understanding of animal mindsFormulates a hypothesis for the evolution of consciousnessIncludes a discussion of the origin of technological innovationProvides a rationale for the ecology of mindProposes a theory of the evolution of languageOutlines the science of experience and how it influences choiceExplains the role of context and choice with respect, especially to human ecology

  Free Speech and Turbulent...

  Michael J. Glennon

  A vast censorship regime has smothered America's digital marketplace of ideas, squelching free speech on vital policy issues. Its supporters regard its benefits as morally and politically beyond question. They contend it's carried out by private social media platforms, not governmental authorities. 
   
   
   
  In Free Speech and Turbulent Freedom, Michael J. Glennon offers a timely and incisive response. The censors are short-sighted, he argues. Quibbling over outdated distinctions misses the real threat—which is the fusion of public and private power into a modern-day cartel able to overleap longstanding constitutional safeguards. American democracy, he argues, rests on a decentralized marketplace of ideas independent of the government. In crisp, trenchant terms, Glennon shows how concrete practical concerns justify protecting admittedly harmful online speech—even speech that advocates violence or embraces hatred or apparent falsehood. 
   
   
   
  To safely self-correct, democracy requires open channels of political communication. Glennon calls on the courts to unblock those channels—to measure such speech against enduring First Amendment precepts rather than pliable international norms—and to protect the speech interests not merely of the government and Big Tech, but of all participants in the marketplace of ideas.
