The Essence of Invention -...

Dr. Kieran Murphy

Meet the brilliant mavericks who invented the future of medicine and saved the lives of millions. 
The Essence of Invention tells the story of medical inventors who have laid the foundation for modern patient care, from the development of anesthesia and safe surgery to the advent of vaccines against smallpox, polio, and Covid-19, and how, through creativity and persistence, they have changed the world. 
 
The same kind of energy that drove Van Gogh or the Beatles can manifest itself in medicine as inventiveness and the creation of new medical devices. The field may feel very different from what is traditionally considered a creative industry, but the fundamental motivation and aspiration to create and the conviction and resilience needed to do so are the same. 
 
Dr. Murphy celebrates the creative energy of courageous men and women, honors their unique gifts, and explains how a culture of creativity and collaboration can and must be established around them to allow their talents to take flight.

Ancient Wonderings: Journeys...

James Canton

‘Intensely alive to the landscape; its pasts, people and creatures’ Robert Macfarlane
Take a journey into our ancient past. Explore a long-lost landscape and gradually discover the minds, beliefs and cultural practices of those souls who lived on these lands thousands of years before you.
Travelling the length and breadth of Britain, James Canton pursues his obsession with the physical traces of the ancient world: stone circles, flint arrowheads, sacred stones, gold, and a lost Roman road. He ponders the features of the natural world that occupied ancient minds: the night sky, shooting stars, the rising and setting sun. Wandering to the furthest reaches of the islands, he finds an undeciphered standing stone north of Aberdeen and follows the first footsteps on the edge of a long-lost Ice Age land in the North Sea.
As Canton walks the modern terrain, slowly understanding the ancient signs that lie within and beneath it, he weaves a gentle tale of discovery, showing how, beyond the superficial differences of life-style and culture, the ancient inhabitants of the British Isles were much closer to the present-day one than we might imagine.
This historical masterpiece by James Canton takes us on a top-tier exploration of geography and history. It's a bestseller that delves deep into the roots of our ancient past, making it a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the world we live in today.
For fans of Robert Macfarlane (Desert Solitaire), Amy Jeffs (Storyland), Matthew Green (Shadowlands), Katherine May (Enchantment), and Roger Deakin (Waterlog).

The Tale of Freddie Firefly

He was able to draw a deep breath again as they reached the field of red clover, where Peppery Polly Bumblebee settled quickly upon a clover-top and began sucking up the sweet nectar with her long tongue. For some time she worked busily without saying a word. And indeed, how could she have spoken with her tongue buried deep in the heart of a clover blossom? (From The Tale of Freddy Firefly)
