  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).

  Let us begin with a simple truth: sustainability is not a hustle, but a posture. 
  In Creating Eco Habits, the work of changing your behavior is not frantic or forced—but graceful, curated, and deeply intentional. 
  Rooted in the quiet power of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), this book offers a new philosophy of habit formation—one that speaks to the thoughtful soul. There are no charts. No guilt. No race toward zero-waste perfection. 
  Instead, you’ll find rituals, language, and reflections designed to gently rewire your daily choices—from how you make tea to how you buy, mend, walk, reuse, and refuse. 
  This is habit change for those who long to live with less—but better. 
  With beauty. With clarity. With care. 
  Whether you're new to sustainability or quietly evolving how you move through the world, Creating Eco Habits invites you into a lifestyle where less is not lacking— 
  it is luxury.

  Why do some societies crumble under pressure while others rise stronger? 
  What can the past teach us about surviving the shocks of the future? 
  And how can humanity adapt in the age of AI? 
  From the fall of empires to the dawn of algorithms, "Bend or Break" reveals the hidden patterns that determine whether societies endure or collapse. Boyson Sante takes readers across centuries of upheaval—wars, migrations, pandemics, financial crashes—to uncover the forces that shape resilience. At the heart of the book lies the Adaptation Equation, a framework showing how accountable institutions, trustworthy information, and shared progress make the difference between renewal and ruin.

  Companies today are moving rapidly to integrate generative AI into their products and services. But there's a great deal of hype (and misunderstanding) about the impact and promise of this technology. With this book, Chris Fregly, Antje Barth, and Shelbee Eigenbrode from AWS help CTOs, ML practitioners, application developers, business analysts, data engineers, and data scientists find practical ways to use this exciting new technology. 
   
   
   
  You'll learn the generative AI project life cycle including use case definition, model selection, model fine-tuning, retrieval-augmented generation, reinforcement learning from human feedback, and model quantization, optimization, and deployment. And you'll explore different types of models including large language models (LLMs) and multimodal models such as Stable Diffusion for generating images and Flamingo/IDEFICS for answering questions about images. 
   
   
   
  You'll also discover how to apply generative AI to your business use cases; determine which generative AI models are best suited to your task; perform prompt engineering and in-context learning; fine-tune generative AI models on your datasets with low-rank adaptation (LoRA); align generative AI models to human values with reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF); augment your model with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG); explore libraries such as LangChain and ReAct to develop agents and actions; and build generative AI applications with Amazon Bedrock.
