  All of us have things we want to change about ourselves. 
  All of us have goals and aspirations, and perfect versions of ourselves that we imagine. We all want to have better abs, better teeth, more confidence, and more money. 
  And every now and then, we get sick of just “wanting” those things and we endeavour to do something about it. That normally involves beginning a new training program, or it means investing money, or changing bank account. 
  We make a huge effort to make these changes, but we seldom end up getting the results we want. In fact, many people have completely given up on the hope that they can EVER change. 
  Why is that? 
  Normally, it’s because we approach our goals in the completely the wrong way. We are looking for drastic change. We want to see immediate results. 
  But that’s not how improvement really works.

  “A lovely balance of memoir, travelogue and olive-growing how-to . . . Some of her adventures are quite funny.” —Publishers Weekly In this memoir, the author of The Olive Farm returns to the ten-acre property for which she and her fiancé scraped together their savings to buy—just back from their wedding on a tiny Polynesian island, loaded down with luggage and a large hand-painted didgeridoo. As Carol and Michel settle in as husband and wife, they experience the glamor of southern France at dinner parties in the company of aristocrats and at the world-renowned Cannes film festival, as well as the dirt-caked, sun-baked life of farmers—especially after their gardener heads to Algiers to arrange his youngest son’s wedding. For Carol, though, what matters most is that her longtime dream of motherhood finally promises to come true—and over the course of The Olive Season, she shares the story of her hopes and fears as she anticipates another kind of growth and nurturing. Alternately entertaining and emotionally poignant, this memoir is a rich portrait of love, longing, and the constant uncertainties of the cycle of life.

  A Brief History of the...

  A Waterstones Best Book of 2024: Nature Writing 
  The untold story of rural Britain revealed through its artefacts 
  'A really lovely, fascinating book. I dived straight into this clever, joyous, celebration of nature, history, and – of course – the countryside.' Charles Spencer, author of The White Ship 
  For most of human history, we were rural folk.  
  Our daily lives were bound up with working the land, living within the rhythm of the seasons. We poured our energies into growing food, tending to animals and watching the weather. Family, friends and neighbours were often one and the same. Life revolved around the village and its key spaces and places – the church, the green, the school and the marketplace. 
  And yet rural life is oddly invisible our historical records. The daily routine of the peasant, the farmer or the craftsperson could never compete with the glamour of city life, war and royal drama. Lives went unrecorded, stories untold. 
  There is, though, one way in which we can learn about our rural past. The things we have left behind provide a connection that no document can match; physical artefacts are touchstones that breathe life into its history. From farming tools to children’s toys, domestic objects and strange curios, the everyday items of the past reveal fascinating insights into an often-forgotten way of life. Birth, death, celebration, work, crime, play, medicine, beliefs, diet and our relationship with nature can all be read from these remnants of our past. 
  From ancient artefacts to modern-day memorabilia, this startling book weaves a rich tapestry from the fragments of our rural past. 
  In her non-fiction book A Brief History of the Countryside in 100 Objects, Sally Coulthard explores the social and cultural dynamics of rural life in Europe. The book, steeped in anthropology and environmental conservation, emphasises the importance of regional studies and the protection of our environment. 
  For fans of Jane Cooper (The Lost Flock), James Rebanks (The Shepherd's View), Clara Parkes (Vanishing Fleece), Robert Macfarlane (Desert Solitaire), and Robin Wall Kimmerer (The Serviceberry).

  The concept of Infinity has been around since the ancients and it has many practical applications in mathematics like Calculus.Infinity is also important in Fractals which are a graphical algorithm which is used in many computer graphics applications today and which has infinite depth.It is also applicable to our Universe since the standard concept we are taught about the Big Bang as the beginning of the Universe may be wrong.Modern evidence is showing us contradictions which say that we live in a Universe which is steady state and might even be infinite in size. The Universe doesn’t have a creation date we can be sure of. We don’t really know if it is infinite in size but the Universe is certainly much larger and older than our best scientific instruments can measure. This book is an exploration of Infinity and new understandings of our Universe which have come to light in recent decades.
