  An immersive history of a pivotal stretch of water 
  ‘Fascinating, spellbinding, erudite and great fun.’ Roddy Doyle 
  ‘Remarkable. Lively … Gower writes beautifully [and] the book is profoundly popular.’ Times Literary Supplement 
  The Turning Tide is a hymn to a sea passage of world-historical importance. Combining social and cultural history, nature-writing, travelogue and politics, Welshman Jon Gower charts a sea which has carried both Vikings and saints; invasion forces, royals and rebels; writers, musicians and fishermen. 
  The divided but interconnected waters of the Irish Sea – from the narrow North Channel through St George’s Channel to where the Celtic sea opens out into the wide Atlantic – have a turbulent history to match the violence of its storms. Jon Gower is a sympathetic and interested pilot, taking the reader to the great shipyards of Belfast and through the mass exodus of the starving during the Irish Famine in coffin boats bound for America. He follows the migrations of working men and women looking for work in England and tells the tales of more casual travellers: sometimes seasick, often homesick too. 
  The Irish Sea is also a place with an abundant natural history. The rarest sea bird in Europe visits its coasts in summer while the rarest goose wings in during winter. 
  The Turning Tide navigates waters teeming with life, filled with seals and salt-tanged stories and surveyed by seabirds. Lyrically written and fizzing with curiosity, this is a remarkable and far-reaching book. 
  The latest work from award-winning author Jon Gower, The Turning Tide, is a short-listed masterpiece that delves into the geography of Ireland and Britain. This prize-winning book is a testament to his winning storytelling, making it a top pick for readers. 
  For fans of Robert Macfarlane (Desert Solitaire), John Lewis-Stempel (Six Weeks), Mark Rees (The Little Book of Welsh Culture), Stephen Rule (Welsh and I), and Darren Chetty (The Good Immigrant).

  Observers and Their Worlds

  Rafael Echeverría

  In this groundbreaking work, I challenge the metaphysical foundations that have shaped Western thought since ancient Greece. Following Nietzsche's call to question the interpretations of Plato and Aristotle—what I designate as the "metaphysical ontology"—I propose a radical alternative: the ontology of language.
  For centuries, we have been faithful to metaphysical assumptions that now compromise both our capacity to give meaning to our lives and the ways we relate to others. Western civilization has reached an impasse, and it is imperative that we step back and forge a new path.
  This work examines the fundamental axes of the observer and demonstrates that human beings are linguistic beings who invent themselves through language.
  I developed the concept of metaphysical ontology to distinguish the dominant Western tradition from my proposal of a non-metaphysical ontology—one that opens new possibilities for human transformation, learning, and coexistence. This is my invitation to reimagine what it means to be human.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Empire of Rum – The Unofficial Economy of Early Australia is a gripping journey through the colony’s most intoxicating secret: that rum, not coin, built Australia. 
   
  In the fledgling settlement of New South Wales, alcohol was more than a drink - it was money, power, and survival. From the notorious Rum Corps to the only successful military coup in Australian history, this audiobook brings to life the corruption, rebellion and everyday struggles that flowed through the barrels of rum. 
   
  But the story doesn’t stop in the past. Linking colonial rum trading to modern Australia, this powerful work shows how alcohol still fuels crime, family breakdown, and an overwhelmed justice system. 
   
  Part history, part social critique, Empire of Rum pulls no punches in exposing how alcohol became and remains a currency of control. 
   
  Perfect for listeners of Australian history, true crime, and social justice narratives.
