  A COSMIC CONUNDRUM—This astonishing book follows our ascendancy from just another hominin on the open African savannah to the alpha hegemon on Earth today endangering its entire future. Along the way, humans methodically outwitted their competition with phenomenal efficiency and indifference, to emerge in the modern 21st century as the linchpin of a major mass extinction of countless other lifeforms cohabiting their planet with them. The shredding of our fragile ecosphere by massive proliferation and monopolistic overconsumption of Earth’s precious resources by a single invasive species, along with the inexorable combustion of deadly fossil fuels to acquire the energy needed to sustain their profligate and lavish lifestyle, is threatening to drive H. sapiens itself into extinction within the next 300 years. This is the true story of that improbable adventure!

  Urban Land Use - Patterns...

  Urban land use plays a crucial role in shaping the physical, economic, and social landscapes of modern society. As cities continue to grow, the way land is utilized within urban areas directly impacts the quality of life for residents, the sustainability of the environment, and the functionality of the economy. Understanding urban land use is not only a matter of interest for urban planners and policymakers but also a concern for all individuals who live and work in urban spaces. 
  The development and organization of land use in cities reflect broader societal priorities and challenges. Housing, transportation, commerce, recreation, and green spaces must coexist within a finite area, often leading to complex decisions about how to allocate resources. A well-planned urban area ensures accessibility, connectivity, and economic opportunities, while poorly planned spaces may result in congestion, social inequality, and environmental degradation. 
  Urban land use is also at the center of many contemporary challenges, including population growth, climate change, and the need for sustainable development. As cities expand, urban sprawl often consumes valuable agricultural land and disrupts ecosystems. Compact, efficient urban designs that incorporate green infrastructure, mixed-use developments, and public transit systems are essential to mitigate the environmental impacts of urbanization. By prioritizing these elements, cities can address pressing issues such as air quality, carbon emissions, and biodiversity loss.

  Forgotten Forests: Twelve...

  Ancient trees, some over a thousand years old, are dotted around the British Isles, the last survivors of a lost world. Now, new scientific studies of these trees and of fossilised forests and of our oldest wooden artifacts can help us to understand the many woodlands that have disappeared from our landscapes. 
  Locked in ice for more than twenty thousand years, the lands that now make up Britain and Ireland were some of the last settled by humans. The earliest people, Mesolithic hunter-gatherers like Cheddar Man, arrived around eleven thousand years ago to find dense forests. While they lived lightly, they did introduce fire, which they used to create clearings, and this was the beginning of the reshaping of Britain’s forests. 
  When Neolithic farmers migrated to Britain from Europe some six thousand years ago, it meant a violent end to the hunter-gatherers’ way of life. It also indicated a dramatic change for the ecosystems. Forests were cleared for fields, trees and plants fed to livestock and predators hunted. A wild, forested world became one of agriculture and villages. 
  As humans learned to work bronze, then iron, they also used wood in myriad ways, building homes, then cathedrals, hand tools then furniture and early machines, boats and eventually immense ships. The forests of Britain and Ireland fuelled the burgeoning human civilisation, from the Romans, Anglo Saxons, Vikings and Normans, to the British, Scottish, Welsh and Irish peoples through to the present day. In that time our woodlands have changed beyond recognition, but clues to their story remain. Biologist and Britain’s first senior officer for Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty Jonathan Mullard retraces the history of the forgotten forests of Britain and Ireland, piecing together historical records going as far back as the written word and archaeological evidence going back far further. The result is a wealth of arcane anecdotes and the latest scientific understanding of our natural history, as well as a fascinating journey through the forests, landscapes and human history of Britain. 
  In his latest non-fiction work, Forgotten Forests, Jonathan Mullard takes us on a journey through time, exploring the habitats that once covered Britain and Ireland. His deep understanding of ecology and passion for nature shine through in this compelling narrative of human impact and ecological transformation.
