Summary

The Countryman Sets Forth Again is a wonderful compilation of articles covering a range of eclectic rural and countryside subjects. There is something for everyone to discover from the ancient language of field sports to the treasures to be found in old barns; the history of the landscape to dryland husky racing and much more.

Divided into seasonal sections and featuring more than forty-five chapters, many of the articles have appeared in The Field magazine. Here are all aspects of country life described in vivid detail, from the flora and fauna to the folklore. Descriptions of ancient customs feature alongside accounts of pigeon racing and hound trailing; and stories of exotic plant hunters from past centuries. Readers will encounter mad March hares, owls, ravens, bats, pike, eels, and the rare capercaillie. Other subjects include coppicing, ancient trees, hanging game, stoats, terriers and, that perennial British favourite, the weather. The author also takes us back to his childhood with memories of charcoal burners and of harvesting wild food.

Combining his engaging writing, expert insight and immense knowledge, Johnny Scott is a master at celebrating and chronicling the countryside. In this book he continues to convey his wisdom and affection for the magic of nature and rural life.

    Trolling Ourselves to Death -...

    Almost forty years ago, Neil Postman argued that television had brought about a fundamental transformation to democracy. By turning entertainment into our supreme ideology, television had recreated public discourse in its image and converted democracy into show business. In Trolling Ourselves to Death, Jason Hannan builds on Postman's classic thesis, arguing that we are now not so much amusing, as trolling ourselves to death. 
 
 
 
Contrary to the popular view of the troll as an exclusively anonymous online prankster, Hannan asserts that trolls have emerged from the cave, so to speak. Trolls now include politicians, performers, patriots, and protesters. What was once a mysterious phenomenon limited to the darker corners of the Internet has since gone mainstream, eroding our public culture and changing the rules of democratic politics. 
 
 
 
Synthesizing media ecology with historical materialism, Hannan explores the disturbing rise of political unreason in the form of mass trolling and sheds light on the proliferation of disinformation, conspiracy theory, "cancel culture," and digital violence. Taking inspiration from Robert Brandom's innovative reading of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Trolling Ourselves to Death makes a case for building "a spirit of trust" to curb the epidemic of mass distrust that feeds the plague of political trolling.

    Clinical pathophysiology is a vital field of study that bridges the gap between basic science and clinical practice. It focuses on understanding the mechanisms underlying disease processes and how these mechanisms manifest in the body, leading to clinical symptoms and dysfunction. The ultimate goal of pathophysiology is to enhance the understanding of disease so that healthcare providers can make informed decisions about diagnosis, treatment, and management strategies. 
At its core, pathophysiology involves studying the alterations in normal physiological processes caused by disease. These alterations can be the result of a wide range of factors, including infection, genetic mutations, environmental exposures, and lifestyle choices. By examining how diseases develop and progress, pathophysiology helps clinicians recognize patterns of dysfunction and understand the underlying biological changes that drive these patterns. 
The role of clinical pathophysiology is crucial in guiding patient care. In clinical practice, understanding the mechanisms of disease allows healthcare professionals to identify the root causes of symptoms, predict the course of diseases, and develop targeted treatment strategies. For example, a deep understanding of the pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases enables clinicians to prescribe the most effective interventions for managing conditions like heart failure or arrhythmias. Similarly, pathophysiology helps explain the progression of diseases such as diabetes or cancer, informing decisions on appropriate management and monitoring.

To achieve fossil fuel independence, few technologies are more important than batteries. Used for powering zero-emission vehicles, storing electricity from solar panels and wind turbines, and revitalizing the electric grid, batteries are essential to scaling up the renewable energy resources that help address global warming. But given the unique environmental impact of batteries—including mining, disposal, and more—does a clean energy transition risk trading one set of problems for another? 
 
 
 
In Charged, James Morton Turner unpacks the history of batteries to explore why solving "the battery problem" is critical to a clean energy transition. As climate activists focus on what a clean energy future will create the history of batteries offers a sharp reminder of what building that future will consume. With new insight on the consequences for people and communities on the front lines, Turner draws on the past for crucial lessons that will help us build a just and clean energy future, from the ground up.
