War Under the Waves, first published in 1962, is a non-technical overview of the history of the military submarine. Beginning with the Turtle of the American Revolutionary War, the Hunley of the Civil War, and continuing on to famous World War One and Two submarines (such as the USS Growler and USS Harder), War Under the Waves provides a look at the crews and their subs as they engaged the enemy and helped make the submarine one of the essential tools of naval warfare.

    This audiobook includes archived recordings from interviews taken with Second World War soldiers, as well as an Introduction and Epilogue read by the author. A powerful, immersive account published for the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings and battle for Normandy, and tied into the groundbreaking BBC2 documentary series D-Day: The Unheard Tapes.D-Day was bloody, chaotic and frequently terrifying. Its outcome was far from certain. And at its epicentre were tens of thousands of young men, many seeing their first active service. It was a single day that changed millions of lives. A critical turning point of the Second World War.Using audio interviews from the archives of the Imperial War Museum and National World War II Museum, this immersive oral history describes what it was actually like to take part in the landings on 6 June 1944 and the weeks of ferocious fighting in Normandy that followed. British, American, Canadian and German veterans, as well as French civilians, speak of experiences they could never forget.Stories include the forward observer hiding alone on Omaha beach, thinking of his wife as he waits to bring down fire on the German defenders. The commando racing to Pegasus Bridge. The Typhoon pilot who is about to be shot by the SS when he is saved by a Luftwaffe officer. The injured tank driver who risks his life to save five other crews. The German soldier haunted by the fact he was forced to abandon his dying friend.In D-Day The Unheard Tapes Geraint Jones has skilfully brought the battle for Normandy to life in a vivid narrative that allows the voices of those who fought to shine through, authentic and unforgettable.

    A global exploration of the eight remaining species of bears—and the dangers they face. 
     
     
     
    Bears have always held a central place in our collective memory, from Indigenous folklore and Greek mythology to nineteenth-century fairytales and the modern toy shop. But as humans and bears come into ever-closer contact, our relationship nears a tipping point. Today, most of the eight remaining bear species are threatened with extinction. Some, such as the panda bear and the polar bear, are icons of the natural world; others, such as the spectacled bear and the sloth bear, are far less known. 
     
     
     
    In Eight Bears, journalist Gloria Dickie embarks on a globe-trotting journey to explore each bear's story, whisking listeners from the cloud forests of the Andes to the ice floes of the Arctic; from the jungles of India to the backwoods of the Rocky Mountain West. She meets with key figures on the frontlines of modern conservation efforts—the head of a rescue center for sun and moon bears freed from bile farms, a biologist known as Papa Panda, who has led China's panda-breeding efforts for almost four decades, a conservationist retraining a military radar system to detect and track polar bears near towns—to reveal the unparalleled challenges bears face as they contend with a rapidly changing climate and encroaching human populations.
