  The Olympic Class ships were intended to be the greatest liners to ever sail the oceans, but the Britannic sank only four years after her sister ship the Titanic. While the wreck of the Titanic is two miles below the surface and rapidly deteriorating, the Britannic is much more accessible (only 400 ft down) and remains largely intact. One of the largest passenger ships ever to have sunk, her wreck presents a unique opportunity to explore the interior of the Olympic Class liners, and examine areas which on the Titanic simply no longer exist. 
   
   
   
  Simon Mills bought the wreck of the Britannic in 1996 and has spent more time exploring it than anyone else. Inside the Britannic is the sum of decades of work covering every inch of the shipwreck as he searches for answers to century-old questions, and discovers new mysteries to solve. Simon takes a forensic approach but this book is more than just the autopsy report of a ship. 
   
   
   
  The Britannic may have been lost over a century ago, but Simon Mills's fascinating new book gives everyone unparalleled access to rediscover her.

  This emotional and inspiring collection of true stories introduces you to a pony who helps a little girl get over her fear of riding, a donkey who discovers his purpose protecting vulnerable lambs, blind horses who teach their human about courage, and even a pony who somehow figures out how to drive a golf cart.

  'A book that will persist through many generations, and rightly so' SEÁN RONAYNE
  'Holds a kaleidoscope of astonishments' DOIREANN NÍ GHRÍOFA
  'His descriptive powers, passion and raw honesty will immerse, astonish and transport you to hidden places you never even knew existed' EOGHAN DALTUN
  'An eye-opening sharing of perspective by a gifted writer, weaving together ecology, history, folklore and personal insight' ANJA MURRAY
  In January 1979 when Eoin Warner was just two years old, an oil tanker exploded in Bantry Bay, killing his father and leaving an enduring loss at the heart of his childhood. In the years that followed, he found solace beyond the garden fence, wandering the fields and hedgerows of West Cork, where nature became his teacher, refuge and guide.
  In this beautifully written nature memoir, Warner weaves memory with the wild, recalling encounters with birds, animals and landscapes that offered comfort, enchantment and meaning. From moonlit shores to dew-soaked meadows, each moment reveals how deeply our lives are intertwined with the natural world.
  This is not simply a story of loss, but of discovery, wonder and belonging. Rooted in Irish place and language, it invites us to slow down, look closer, and rediscover the quiet magic that surrounds us in nature and the healing it can bring.

  How the World Listens explores our everyday and professional interactions with sound. The book aims to uncover the human relationship with sound across the world and to reveal practical ways in which a better understanding of listening can help us in our daily lives. 
   
   
   
  This book asks how sound is perceived, expressed, and interacted with in both remarkably similar and dramatically different ways across the world. Using findings from a new scientific study, conducted exclusively for this book, we embark on a globe-trotting adventure across more than thirty countries, through exclusive interviews with more than fifty individuals from all walks of life, from acousticians and film composers to human resource managers and costumiers. 
   
   
   
  How the World Listens is essential for anyone with an interest in human relationships with sound, including but not limited to sound design and music composition professionals, teachers, and researchers.
