  And No Birds Sang

  Turned away from the Royal Canadian Air Force for his apparent youth and frailty, Farley Mowat joined the infantry in 1940. The young second lieutenant soon earned the trust of the soldiers under his command, and was known to bend army rules to secure a stout drink, or find warm—if non-regulation—clothing. But when Mowat and his regiment engaged with elite German forces in the mountains of Sicily, the optimism of their early days as soldiers was replaced by despair. With a naturalist's eyes and ears, Mowat takes in the full dark depths of war—and his moving account of military service, and the friends he left behind, is also a plea for peace. It is one of the most searing and unforgettable World War II memoirs from any Canadian.

  The Big Teal

  ‘We will not achieve net zero in the cafes, dinner parties and wine bars of our inner cities.’ Little infuriated the forgotten people of the twenty-first century—women and younger voters, especially—more than Scott Morrison’s deluge of disparagement on the issues that mattered to them. The May 2022 election marked the great re-engagement of those ignored and patronised for too long on climate, integrity and gender equity.The electoral map has been dramatically redrawn. However, the triumph of the ‘teals’ was not entirely unexpected to those assisting their rise, such as Climate 200 founder Simon Holmes à Court. As Australia entered its lost decade on climate action, he observed that conventional advocacy had become a case of diminishing returns, and that Cathy McGowan’s election as a community independent in 2013 provided a template for direct political engagement. The result was Climate 200, a crowdfunded outfit intended to provide the money and expertise to better match the major parties and turbocharge the grassroots movement emerging in thirty-plus electorates.Despite a relentless and increasingly shrill campaign of vilification aimed at Holmes à Court and the candidates by the Liberals, assisted by their media mates, we saw the election of six new community independent MPs and one senator. It was a victory of facts over fear, priorities over prejudice. It was a blow to the unfit-for-purpose ‘majoritariat’, a rejection of the false binary choice between parties that no longer reflect the hopes and complexity of modern democratic Australia.This is the story of how a team of inspired young tech-heads and older sages used their real and virtual-world experience to help a cluster of communities get the representation they wanted.

  The Nature Book

  Tom Comitta

  Part sweeping evocation of Earth's rhythms, part literary archive, part post-human novel, The Nature Book collages descriptions of the natural world into a singular symphonic paean to the planet. 
   
   
   
  What does our nature writing say about us, and more urgently, what would it say without us? Tom Comitta investigates these questions and more in The Nature Book, a "literary supercut" that arranges writing about the natural world from three hundred works of fiction into a provocative re-envisioning of the novel. With fiction's traditional background of flora and fauna brought to the fore, people and their structures disappear, giving center stage to animals, landforms, and weather patterns—honored in their own right rather than for their ambient role in human drama. The Nature Book challenges the confines of anthropocentrism with sublime artistic vision, traversing mountains, forests, oceans, and space to shift our attention toward the magnificently complex and interconnected world around us.

  Game Theory - Understanding the...

  Brian Clegg

  Brian Clegg was always fascinated by Isaac Asimov's classic Foundation series of books, in which the future is predicted using sophisticated mathematical modelling of human psychology and behaviour.
  
  Only much later did he realise that Asimov's 'psychohistory' had a real-world equivalent: game theory.
  
  Originating in the study of probabilistic gambling games that depend on a random source - the throw of a dice or the toss of a coin - game theory soon came to be applied to human interactions: essentially, what was the best strategy to win, whatever you were doing? Its mathematical techniques have been applied, with varying degrees of wisdom, to fields such as economics, evolution, and questions such as how to win a nuclear war.
  
  Clegg delves into game theory's colourful history and significant findings, and shows what we can all learn from this oft-misunderstood field of study.

  The Most Densely Populated Place...

  Urbanization has been one of the most significant trends of the 21st century, with more than half of the world's population now living in cities. As global populations continue to grow, an increasing number of people are flocking to urban areas, resulting in the development of some of the most densely populated cities on Earth. These megacities, home to millions of individuals, represent both the wonders and the challenges of modern life. The intensity of life in such crowded spaces shapes the experiences of those who live there, from the social fabric to the environment. 
    
  This book explores the experiences of individuals living in the most crowded urban centers, where the pressure of population density influences every aspect of daily life. It aims to examine how these cities manage their growth, deal with the challenges of overcrowding, and provide a glimpse into the lives of those navigating these spaces. The urban centers featured in this book are marked not only by their size but also by the vibrancy and diversity they house. Yet, despite the potential for economic growth and cultural exchange, these cities face significant struggles related to infrastructure, health, safety, and quality of life. 
    
  The history of urban density is also a fascinating tale of human resilience and innovation. From the early days of civilization to the present, cities have been shaped by their environments, political systems, and technological advancements. As cities grow ever more populous, the boundaries of what can be managed are constantly tested, leading to new solutions, as well as failures. The story of overcrowding is not just one of increasing numbers but also of the social, economic, and environmental impacts that come with it.
