  The whale is the largest, loudest, oldest animal ever to have existed. It is improbable, amazing, and-as anyone who has seen an underwater documentary or visited the display at the American Museum of Natural Historycan attest-a powerful source of wonder and delight to millions. The Whale is an extraordinary journey into the world of this fascinating and mysterious animal.Acclaimed writer Philip Hoare visits the historic whale-hunting towns of New Bedford and Nantucket, wanders the streets of London and Liverpool in searchof Melville's whaling inspiration, and swims with sperm whales in the middle of the Atlantic. Through the course of his journey he explores the troubled history of man and whale; traces the whale's cultural history from Jonah to Moby-Dick, Pinocchio to Free Willy; and seeks to discover why these strange and beautifulanimals continue to exert such a powerful grip on our imagination.A blend of the travel and nature writing in the tradition of Jonathan Raban and John McPhee, The Whale is a gripping voyage into the heart of Hoare's obsession-and ours.

  BLEED - Destroying Myths and...

  Have you ever been told that your pain is imaginary? That feeling better just takes yoga, CBD oil, and the blood of a unicorn on a full moon? That's the reality of the more than 190 million people suffering the excruciating condition known as endometriosis. This disease affecting one in ten cis women and uncounted numbers of others is chronically overlooked, underfunded, and misunderstood—and improperly treated across the medical system. Discrimination and medical gaslighting are rife in endo care, often leaving patients worse off.Journalist Tracey Lindeman knows it all too well. Decades of suffering from endometriosis propelled the creation of BLEED—part memoir, part investigative journalism, and all scathing indictment of how the medical system fails patients. Through extensive interviews and research, BLEED tracks the modern endo experience to the origins of medicine and how the system gained its power by marginalizing women. Using an intersectional lens, BLEED dives into how the system perpetuates misogyny, racism, classism, ageism, transphobia, fatphobia, and other prejudices to this day.BLEED isn't a self-help book. It's an evidence file and an eye-opening, enraging book. It will validate those who have been gaslit, mistreated, or ignored by medicine and spur listeners to fight for nothing short of revolution.

  Beaucourt is one of the last parts of the Battle of the Somme still to be covered, until now, by the splendid Battleground Europe Series. It was also one of the last actions of the Battle of the Somme, 1916.The eventual capture of Beaucourt along with Beaumont Hamel forced the Germans to retreat to their new defensive position known as the Hindenburg Line. The Battle of Beaucourt was also known as the Gough Offensive, led by General Gough, with a large proportion of the troops involved being from the Royal Naval Division. Indeed, Beaucourt is where Bernard Freyberg of that division won his Victoria Cross.Following the usual Battleground style, readers are taken on a voyage of discovery through the village of Beaucourt and along the banks of the Ancre in the direction of Cambrai.

  Do You Feel As If The Mysteries Of The Universe Are Beyond Your Grasp? Have You Tried To Immerse Yourself In The Fascinating World Of Quantum Physics Only To Find Yourself Lost Among Complex Terminology And Abstract Concepts? Perhaps You Feel Like A Tourist In A Strange Land, Overwhelmed By The Wonders Around You But Without A Guide To Help You Understand What You Are Seeing. 
  Why Do Other Quantum Physics Books Fail To Meet Your Expectations? 
  Many Books On Quantum Physics Fail In One Critical Respect: They Take For Granted That Readers Already Have Deep Prior Knowledge. These Texts Often Focus On The Technical Details, Obviating The Fact That Most Readers First Need An Intuitive Understanding Of The Fundamental Concepts. As A Result, You Have Probably Encountered Works That Tell You About Wave-Particle Duality, Quantum Superposition, Or The Uncertainty Principle, Without First Having Established A Solid Foundation That Allows You To Assimilate These Concepts Effectively. 
  But What If The Problem Is Not That Quantum Physics Is Too Complicated, But That It Has Not Been Presented In The Right Way? That's Where This Magical And Fascinating Read Changes The Game. 
  This Book Has Been Designed With You In Mind. Instead Of Throwing You Into The Deep End Of The Quantum Ocean, It Takes You By The Hand Through A Journey Of Discovery. It Starts With The Basics Of Quantum Physics In Chapter 1, Establishing A Solid Foundation Before Introducing More Complex Ideas Such As Quantum Entanglement In Chapter 4 Or Quantum Superposition In Chapter 6. 
  It Is Not Only A Journey Of Learning, But Also Of Reflection. The Book Raises Fundamental Questions About How We Understand The World. In Chapter 16, For Example, You Can Explore The Relationship Between Quantum Physics And Consciousness, Which Will Surely Give You A New Perspective On Your Place In The Universe.

  History of Physics

  The discipline of science that shades the most light on the structure of the world and also the most advanced one is undoubtedly none other than Physics. Hence, it is much needed to have some basic ideas of not only what the up-to-date development of physics is but also how we came to think in that way and how the whole of modern physics is attached with its history. 
  In fact, the history of this science begins with Galileo, but in order to understand his work it will be well to see what was thought before his time. The ancient scholars whose ideas were mainly taken from that of Aristotle used to believe that different laws for terrestrial bodies and that of celestial bodies persisted side by side at the same time. They even believed the same holds true for living and dead matter as well. The four basic elements according to them were that of air, water, fire and earth – Among them the heaviest ones were the water and earth while air and fire were believed to be lighter.
