Synopsis

Traditional Ice Fishing explores the remarkable ingenuity of Indigenous Arctic communities and their sophisticated techniques for surviving in one of Earth's harshest environments. The book highlights how deep environmental knowledge and sustainable harvesting practices allowed these communities to thrive for millennia. It offers a detailed look at the evolution of ice fishing, revealing how traditional methods were not merely about survival but also reflected a profound understanding of Arctic ecology. For example, the design of handmade fishing tools, crafted from natural materials, demonstrates an intimate knowledge of fish behavior and ice conditions.

 
The book examines the historical context, tool designs, and ecological knowledge that underpin these sustainable practices. Beginning with foundational concepts like Arctic ecology and Indigenous knowledge systems, the narrative progresses through case studies of different groups and their unique fishing methods. The study emphasizes the complex interplay between culture, environment, and technology, challenging simplistic views of survival and offering insights into sustainable resource management relevant to contemporary challenges.

 
Ultimately, Traditional Ice Fishing demonstrates that these ancestral techniques offer valuable lessons for modern fisheries management and sustainable technology. By focusing on ingenuity and adaptability, the book provides a balanced view of traditional knowledge and scientific understanding, appealing to readers interested in history, nature, and Arctic studies.

    Set in the urban pastoral of an East London postcode, Feral Borough asks what it means to call a place home, and how best to share that home with its non-human inhabitants. Meryl Pugh reimagines the wild as 'feral', recording the fauna and flora of Leytonstone in prose as incisive as it is lyrical. Here, on the edge of the city, red kite and parakeets thrive alongside bluebell and yarrow, a muntjac deer is glimpsed in the undergrowth, and an escaped boa constrictor appears on the High Road. In this subtle, captivating book – part herbarium, part bestiary and part memoir – Pugh explores the effects of loss, and lockdown, on human well-being, conjuring the local urban environment as a site for healing and connection.
    'A subtle, heartfelt and affecting book about home, the city and the self -- Pugh reminds us that nowhere, however urban, is without nature; that wherever we go, the intricate web of life continues to shape and change us.' Rebecca Tamás

    "Shadow Dancing" is illuminating and transformative, with a passionate plea to shift from the conventional medical model to a more nuanced, trauma-aware, and integrated methodology. 
    Drawing from his rich experiences as a nurse in addiction treatment centres in the Netherlands and the UK, Paul du Buf champions the importance of a holistic understanding of addiction, exploring the complex interplay between trauma and addiction and articulating the significant steps required for services to transition successfully into becoming trauma-aware. 
    "Shadow Dancing" urges the inclusion of aspects of the Polyvagal model, Integral theory, and Internal Family Systems model into addiction treatments, adding depth to its narrative. This work is the culmination of Paul du Buf's years of knowledge and skill, amalgamated into a compelling blueprint for the future of addiction treatment. Number of pages: 110.

    Opossums in the wild don't make it to the age of three; our pet cats can live for a decade and a half; cicadas live for seventeen years. Whales, however, can live for two centuries and tubeworms for several millennia. Meanwhile, human life expectancy tops out around the mid-eighties, with some outliers living past 100 or even 110. Is there anything humans can learn from the exceptional longevity of some animals in the wild? In Methusaleh's Zoo, Steven Austad tells the stories of some extraordinary animals, considering why, for example, animal species that fly live longer than earthbound species and why animals found in the ocean live longest of all. 
     
     
     
    Austad—the leading authority on longevity in animals—argues that the best way we will learn from these long-lived animals is by studying them in the wild. Accordingly, he proceeds habitat by habitat, examining animals that spend most of their lives in the air, comparing insects, birds, and bats; animals that live on, and under, the ground—from mole rats to elephants; and animals that live in the sea. 
     
     
     
    Humans have dramatically increased their lifespan with only a limited increase in healthspan; we're more and more prone to diseases as we grow older. By contrast, these species have successfully avoided both environmental hazards and the depredations of aging. Can we be more like them?
