  For more than fifty years, we have been waging, but not winning, the war on cancer. The astonishing news is that up to two-thirds of all cancer cases are linked to preventable environmental causes. If we can stop cancer before it begins, why don't we? 
   
   
   
  That was the question that motivated Kristina Marusic's revelatory inquiry into cancer prevention. They recognize that we will never reduce cancer rates without ridding our lives of the chemicals that increasingly trigger this deadly disease. 
   
   
   
  One scientist grew up without seeing examples of Indian-American women in the field, yet went on to make shocking discoveries about racial disparities in cancer risk. Another leader knew her calling was children's health, but realized only later in her career that kids can be harmed by invisible pollutants at their daycares. 
   
   
   
  For these individuals, the fight has become personal. And it certainly is personal for Berry, a young woman whose battle with breast cancer is woven throughout these pages. Marusic shows that, collectively, we have the power to prevent many cases like Berry's. The war on cancer is winnable—if we revolutionize the way we fight.

  David Attenborough reads J. A. Baker’s extraordinary classic of British nature writing. 
  The nation’s greatest voice, David Attenborough, reads J. A. Baker’s extraordinary classic of British nature writing, The Peregrine. 
  J. A. Baker’s classic of British nature writing was first published in 1967. Greeted with acclaim, it went on to win the Duff Cooper Prize, the pre-eminent literary prize of the time. Luminaries such as Ted Hughes, Barry Lopez and Andrew Motion have cited it as one of the most important books in twentieth-century nature writing. 
  Despite the association of peregrines with the wild, outer reaches of the British Isles, The Peregrine is set on the flat marshes of the Essex coast, where J. A. Baker spent long winters looking and writing about the visitors from the uplands – peregrines that spend the winter hunting the huge flocks of pigeons and waders that share the desolate landscape with them. 
  J. A. Baker's The Peregrine is a testament to the beauty of nature, a special observation of the animal kingdom from the perspective of birds. It's a top choice for those interested in ecotourism and birdwatching, offering a comparative study of different species in their natural habitat. 
  For fans of Barry Holstun Lopez (EMBRACE FEARLESSLY THE BURNING WORLD), Robert Macfarlane (Is a River Alive?), Werner Herzog (Of Walking In Ice), Roger Deakin (Waterlog), and Annie Ernaux (The Years).

  Rare Earth Elements & Critical...

  A 36‑lecture audio course on the materials that run the modern world—from ore bodies and brines to magnets, batteries, chips, and reactors. Each lecture focuses on one element or mineral, tracing its journey from deposit geology through beneficiation and refining to the devices it powers. 
  We make the flowsheet legible: comminution and flotation; roasting, high‑pressure acid leaching, solvent extraction, and ion exchange; separation to oxides and metals; alloying and specialty powders. See how neodymium‑iron‑boron magnets are born, why lithium hexafluorophosphate matters in electrolytes, where gallium nitride wins in power, how graphite anodes evolve with silicon, and how the uranium fuel cycle and vanadium flow batteries actually work. 
  Markets and politics are treated as engineering constraints. Learn to spot yield killers, read offtake agreements, and separate strategic scarcity from narrative. Test real substitutions—ferrites in small motors, sodium‑ion for short‑range storage, gallium nitride versus silicon carbide—and where performance cliffs block redesign. We map chokepoints beyond the mine: separation capacity, reagents, waste handling, water and energy intensity, and manufacturer qualification cycles. Then we follow the consequences—export controls and quotas, permitting and community consent, tariffs and friend‑shoring, standards and labeling rules. 
  Rigorous, narrative‑driven, and built for the intellectually ambitious, this course is an operator’s guide to the science, supply chains, and statecraft of a materials‑constrained century.

  The author of acclaimed memoirs about life on a French olive farm explores the larger history and culture of the Mediterranean delicacy. Carol Drinkwater has a passion for olive trees and the fruit they bear—“bitter berries” that are transformed into savory delights and pressed into precious oil. Already intimately familiar with the fruit thanks to her olive farm in the South of France, she decided to travel throughout the Mediterranean basin—from Marseille to Malta, Israel to Tunisia—in a quest to learn about their ancient history, their spread throughout the world, and the tastes and traditions they represent. A culinary travelogue and a celebration of a humble, healthful food that inspires devotion among so many, The Olive Route is filled with unusual characters and fascinating anecdotes from “a storyteller of great economy and deftness” (The Telegraph). “Drinkwater has a sharp eye for character, and the people who populate The Olive Route will not disappoint her fans.” —The Independent
