Woman Who Brings the Rain - A...

Eluned Gramich

Winner of the 2015 New Welsh Writing Awards: WWF Cymru Prize for Writing on Nature and the Environment
Shortlisted for the 2016 Wales Book of the Year: The Open University in Wales Creative Non-Fiction Award
'Eluned Gramich has written the perfect essay - a minutely detailed yet nuanced evocation of place and personalities that is full of ecologically precise imagery and is as attentive to the Japanese language as it is to Hokkaidan landscape.' – Mark Cocker
As precise and nuanced as Japanese calligraphy, this memoir of the author's stay on the remote Hokkaido island in the far north of Japan, has at its heart the mountain, Yotei-san, the region's iconic equivalent to Mount Fuji. As much about learning a language (with connotations of 'reading' a wild landscape) as it is about nature, this dignified and nuanced work evokes what is cultured and cultivated, and yet also honours the wild; the untranslatable. With its themes of seasonal transformation, the peripheral, folklore, loneliness and learning to belong, this work takes a personal philosophical stance in relation to the centre and the periphery.
'"Eluned Gramich" is a name to hear time and again in the future. [This writing] is as good as we the jurors have ever read... short but perfectly formed... absolutely perfect.' – Justin Albert
'Quite beautiful. [The author encounters a culture that is completely alien] and she does it with a poet's eye... precisely and vitally. She reads this unfamiliarity with all her imaginative nerve-endings open: the effect is quite remarkable...' – Tony Brown
'Most rewarding is the philosophical approach... [Gramich's] embracing of... cultural multiplicity, fluidity and adaptability... suits perfectly the changing boundaries of our modern world.' – Wales Arts Review

Human Anatomy - A Comprehensive...

Ava Westwood

The human body is a remarkable and intricate system, made up of trillions of cells working in harmony to maintain life. Understanding its structure and function is essential for gaining insights into how the body operates and sustains itself. At the most basic level, the body is organized into four primary levels: cells, tissues, organs, and systems. Cells are the building blocks of life, each with specialized functions that contribute to the overall well-being of the organism. Tissues are formed from similar cells working together to perform specific functions. Organs are composed of various tissues that cooperate to carry out more complex tasks, and when organs work together in coordinated groups, they form systems that carry out essential bodily functions.
The organization of the body is designed for efficiency and survival, ensuring that all processes, from digestion to respiration, occur seamlessly. For example, the digestive system processes food and absorbs nutrients, the respiratory system ensures oxygen exchange, and the circulatory system distributes oxygen and nutrients to the cells while removing waste products. Each system is interconnected, and any disruption to one can affect the others, highlighting the importance of balance and coordination in maintaining health.
A key concept in understanding the body’s functioning is homeostasis, the body’s ability to maintain a stable internal environment despite external changes. This balance is critical to the survival of cells and, by extension, the organism as a whole. The body’s systems are continuously monitoring and adjusting to changes in temperature, pH levels, fluid balance, and other internal factors to keep everything within optimal ranges. For instance, when body temperature rises, the body sweats to cool down, and when it drops, it shivers to generate heat. Similarly, the kidneys help regulate fluid balance by adjusting urine production according to hydration levels.

This book addresses the pressing questions that non-insiders want answered, including: how does AI work (in words you don't need a PhD to understand)?; how can AI affect my job, replace me, or prevent my hire?; is AI involved in life-or-death decisions in healthcare?; could my digital accounts or home network be hacked because of my AI-based smart TV, coffeemaker, or robot vacuum?; how does AI know so much about me, what does it know, and can it be used against me?; can it manipulate people to do things they wouldn't normally?; and much more.
