Synopsis

In "Farthest North," Fridtjof Nansen chronicles his groundbreaking Arctic expedition of 1893-1896, where he navigated uncharted territories in the quest for knowledge and adventure. Written in a vivid, evocative style, Nansen'Äôs narrative blends meticulous scientific observation with rich, poetic descriptions of the harsh yet awe-inspiring landscapes. The work stands as both a travelogue and a scientific treatise, capturing the challenges faced by his team amidst an unforgiving climate, while also reflecting the broader context of late 19th-century exploration, a period marked by both nationalism and a burgeoning interest in natural sciences. Nansen, a Norwegian explorer and scientist, was driven by a profound curiosity about the natural world and a desire to push the boundaries of human understanding. His background in biology and his experiences as a polar explorer shaped his approach to documenting the expedition. Nansen's work not only sought to advance geographical and scientific knowledge but also to instill a sense of wonder and appreciation for the Arctic'Äôs allure, showcasing his dual dedication to both science and narrative. "Farthest North" is an essential read for anyone intrigued by exploration, scientific inquiry, or the Arctic'Äôs rich history. Nansen's insights and experiences invite readers to contemplate the spirit of adventure and the relentless pursuit of knowledge, making this monumental work a timeless addition to the canon of exploration literature.

    The Hidden World - How Insects...

    “This audiobook tells the tales of the little things that rule our world. How they came to be here, what they do for us, and their uncertain future in a world that doesn’t care about them nearly enough. Hopefully George’s wise words can redress that balance, before it’s too late.”  Steve Backshall MBE, explorer, naturist and TV presenter 
      
    “Crawling with detail, glowing with extraordinary facts and rich with humour and personality,  George McGavin introduces us to his life-long passion - the wonderful world of insects.” Alice Roberts, biologist, TV presenter and author 
     
    If you are at all interested in life on our planet, then you need to know about insects. They are the most successful group of animals ever to have lived on Earth. Making up three quarters of all animal species, insects conquered the planet long ago. They were among the very first animals to appear on land and were the first to take to the air. Their total biomass is at least 10 times that of all humans and our livestock combined. This world is not ours alone. We are newcomers on a planet made and maintained by insects. If we are going to appreciate the massive part that insects play in the ecology of our planet we need to understand where they came from and how they became so successful. The survival of insects is key to our own survival. All Creatures Small and Great is an important and timely work to engage people with wildlife, when the world is rapidly losing its biodiversity. Featuring bonus audio content including full-length interviews and immersive binaural nature sounds for focus and relaxation. 
     
    Join Dr George McGavin on an exciting audio journey to help us understand the fascinating world of insects. Along the way we are transported from bee-filled meadows to the forest floor, following Dr McGavin as he meets national treasures Sir David Attenborough, Alison Steadman and Jane Horrocks, and a range of experts such as Professors Stephen Simpson, Helen Roy, Phil Stevenson, Karim Vahed and Erica McAlister to understand more about their passion for these incredible creatures. 
     
    Dr George McGavin is a regular TV and radio presenter for the BBC and others. He is an Honorary Research Associate at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History and a Research Associate of The Department of Zoology of Oxford University as well as a Senior Principal Research Fellow of Imperial College. George’s work has taken him from the tropical forests of Papua New Guinea to the caves of Thailand and from the jungles of Belize to the savannas of Tanzania. Dr George McGavin has several insect species named in his honour and hopes they survive him.

    Good Nature - Why Seeing...

    We all take for granted the idea that being in nature makes us feel better. But if you were a skeptic who wanted hard scientific evidence for this idea, where would you look? And how would that evidence be gathered? It wasn't until Dr. Kathy Willis was asked to contribute to an international project looking for the societal benefits we gain from plants that she stumbled across a study that radically changed the way she saw the natural world. In the study there was clear proof that patients recovering from gall bladder operations recovered more quickly if they were looking at trees. 
     
     
     
    In fact, in the last decade there has been an explosion of "proof" that incredible things happen to our bodies and our minds when our senses interact with the natural world. In Good Nature, Kathy Willis takes the listener on a journey with her to dig out all the experiments around the world that are looking for this evidence. What is remarkable about this book is how its revelations should be commonsense—schools should let children play in nature to improve their health and concentration; urban streets should have trees—and yet it reveals just how difficult it is to prove this to businesses and governments. As Kathy Willis says in her narrative, "Nature is far more than just something that is useful for our health. It is not a dispensable commodity. It is an inherent part of us."
