  An immersive history of our coasts and the people who have shaped them 
  The coast means something different to everyone. 
  It’s a place of pleasure and reckless pursuits, of fishing, fearless endeavours and a crashing, rugged beauty. The coast is, and always has been, our first line of defence and our springboard to other cultures. 
  Through the lens of 100 carefully selected objects, this treasure chest of a book delves into the myriad ways our coastlines have shaped, and been shaped by, our history, culture, and identity. From Roman lighthouses to rosary beads, knitted jumpers to Viking slave shackles, each object serves as a portal to a unique story. 
  Sally Coulthard’s engaging narrative goes far beyond the traditional seaside holiday to illuminate the coast’s role as a first line of defence, a site of trade, and a catalyst for cultural exchange. Readers will discover how the coast has influenced our beliefs, economy, and even our domestic lives. And, looking out to sea, this book will show how Britain’s story is anchored to those of our European neighbours and of faraway lands. 
  From one of Britain’s finest historians of material culture, this book vividly captures the enduring magic and significance of our shores. Whether it’s smugglers’ underpants or sailor’s hoaxes, whale vomit or pickled puffin – it all washes up on the British coast… 
  At once social and coastal, the book drifts along Britain’s shorelines and across oceans, letting seashells and other objects conjure the character of different regions and habitats. With nature and ecosystems threaded through every tale, it’s the latest non-fiction for readers who want the best of history, beautifully washed clean by salt and time. 
  For fans of Jane Cooper (The Lost Flock), James Rebanks (The Shepherd's View), Clara Parkes (A Stash of One's Own), Robert Macfarlane (Desert Solitaire), and Lee Alan Dugatkin (Mr. Jefferson and the Giant Moose).

  The Misery of Christianity - A...

  Joachim Kahl

  In this provocative and newly expanded edition, Joachim Kahl challenges the very foundations of Christianity, arguing that the religion has failed to live up to the ideals of its founder. Kahl contends that the gospel of Christ, far from being a message of love and compassion, has instead been used to justify the persecution of Jews, the suppression of women and sexuality, and a cynical indifference to social reform. 
  Now, half a century after its original publication, Kahl's searing critique is more relevant than ever. This updated translation includes previously untranslated sections from the latest German edition, delving deeper into the role of institutional religion in perpetuating inequality and injustice. Kahl also reflects on the enduring significance of his arguments in light of global events and shifting religious landscapes. 
  Prepare to have your assumptions about Christianity challenged and your mind opened to a bold new perspective. This thought-provoking work is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the complex and often troubling relationship between faith, power, and social change. 
  Joachim Kahl's compelling journey from theology to secular humanism is masterfully captured in this thought-provoking book. Born in war-torn Germany, Kahl's quest for truth led him from the pulpit to the lectern, as he grappled with the profound questions of our time. With a philosopher's insight and an activist's passion, Kahl invites readers to join him on a transformative exploration of reason, ethics, and the human condition.

  Doc Holliday didn’t begin his career as a gunslinger. The fact that he was known as “Doc” speaks to his first profession. For as sure and true as his aim might have been, his initial career path did not involve shooting bullets—it involved pulling teeth. He was a dentist by trade who ended up becoming a gambler and gunslinger by necessity. 
  Diagnosed with tuberculosis, Doc Holliday knew that he was living on borrowed time, and he lived his life accordingly. He didn’t waste one precious moment fearing what might happen to him should things not go his way. Yes, just as clearly as he knew the stakes in a card game, he knew that life was a gamble. He simply lived from one day to another, playing the hand that he was dealt as best he could. This is his life and his story in full.
