Summary

Gatherers by Nature is a groundbreaking exploration of the significance of gathering in human history and its relevance to the modern world. Drawing on a variety of sources, including archaeological evidence, ethnographic studies, and historical accounts, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the role of gathering in shaping human societies and cultures.

From the earliest hominids to modern hunter-gatherer societies, gathering has been a fundamental part of the human experience. This book examines the technologies and techniques used by gatherers, the social organization of gathering, and the relationship between gathering and gender, family, and community. It also explores the challenges facing gathering societies in the modern world, such as habitat loss, climate change, and the encroachment of industrial society.

Gatherers by Nature is unique in its focus on the role of gathering in human history. Most studies of human subsistence have focused on hunting and agriculture, while gathering has been largely overlooked. This book fills this gap in the literature by providing a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the role of gathering in human societies.

Gatherers by Nature is essential reading for anyone interested in anthropology, archaeology, history, or the environment. It is also a valuable resource for policymakers and practitioners working to support gathering societies and promote sustainable livelihoods.

In addition to its scholarly value, Gatherers by Nature is also a beautifully written and engaging book. Author Pasquale De Marco brings the world of gathering to life through vivid descriptions and personal anecdotes. Readers will come away from this book with a new appreciation for the role of gathering in human history and its importance in the modern world.

Gatherers by Nature is a timely and important book that sheds new light on a neglected aspect of human history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the origins of human society and the challenges facing humanity today.

    A Waterstones Best History Book of the Year 
The bestselling history of the North of England as told through the lives of its inhabitants.

A work of unrivalled scale and ambition, Northerners is the defining biography of northern England. 
This authoritative new history of place and people lays out the dramatic events that created the north – waves of migration, invasions and battles, and transformative changes wrought on European culture and the global economy. In a sweeping narrative that takes us from the earliest times to the present day, the book shows that the people of the north have shaped Britain and the world in unexpected ways. 
At least six Roman emperors ruled from York. The Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Northumbria was Europe’s leading cultural and intellectual centre. Cartimandua, Queen of the Brigantes, deserves to be as famous as Boudica. Neanderthals and Vikings, Central European Jews, African-Caribbeans and South Asians, have all played their part in the making and remaking of the north. Northern writers, activists, artists and comedians are celebrated the world over, from Wordsworth, the Brontes and Gaskell to LS Lowry, Emmeline Pankhurst and Peter Kay. St Oswald and Bede shaped the spiritual and cultural landscapes of Britain and Europe, and the world was revolutionised by the inventions of Richard Arkwright and the Stephensons. The north has exported some of sport’s biggest names and defined the sound of generations, from the Beatles to Britpop. 
Northerners also shows convincingly how the past echoes down the centuries. The devastation of factory and pit closures in the 1980s, for example, recalled the trauma of William the Conqueror’s Harrying of the North. The book charts how the north-south divide has ebbed and flowed and explores the very real divisions between northerners, such as the rivalry between Lancashire and Yorkshire. 
Finally, Brian Groom explores what northernness means today and the crucial role the north can play in Britain’s future. As new forces threaten the fabric of the UK again, this landmark book could scarcely be more timely. 
This historical masterpiece by Brian Groom is a top pick for those who appreciate a deep dive into the social fabric of northern England. It's not just an autobiography of a region, but a travel through time, revealing the popular narratives and untold stories that have shaped its identity. 
For fans of Rick Broadbent (Jessica Ennis), Tom Holland (The Rest is History), Simon Jenkins (The Celts), Andy Burnham (Head North), and Ian Mortimer (Medieval Horizons).

    1975: A young Irish-American man joins an elite US Marine unit to get the most intensive military training possible—then joins the Irish Republican Army, during the days of some of the bloodiest fighting ever in the Irish-British conflict. 
 
 
 
In a powerful, brutally honest recounting of his experience, John Crawley details, first, the grueling challenges of his Marine Corps training, then how he put his hard-earned skills to use back in Ireland in service of the Provos. It is a story that will see him running guns with notorious American mobster—and secret IRA fundraiser—Whitey Bulger; running, under cover of night, from safe house to safe house in the Irish countryside, one step ahead of British troops; being captured, imprisoned, and being part of a mass escape attempt; fending off a recruitment offer from the CIA; and being one of the masterminds behind a campaign to take out London's electrical system. 
 
 
  
Along the way, Crawley is blisteringly candid about the memorable people he worked with, including behind-the-scenes portrayals of revered IRA leader Martin McGuinness, and of the psychopathic Whitey Bulger, as well as others in the Boston IRA support network. There are vivid portraits of colleagues and enemies, and Crawley is unflinching in his commentary on IRA leadership and their tactics, both military and political.

    The wartime interest in Greenland was a direct result of its vital strategic position—if you wanted to predict the weather in Europe, you had to have men in place on the vast, frozen island. The most celebrated example of Greenland's crucial contribution to Allied meteorological services is the correct weather forecast in June 1944 leading to the decision to launch the invasion of Normandy. In addition, both before and after D-Day a stream of weather reports from Greenland was essential for the Allied ability to carry out the bombing offensive against Germany. 
 
 
 
The Germans were aware of the value of Greenland from a meteorological point of view, and they repeatedly attempted to establish semi-permanent weather stations along the sparsely populated east coast of the island. This resulted in an epic cat-and-mouse game, in which US Coast Guard personnel assisted by a celebrated sledge patrol manned by Scandinavian adventurers struggled to locate and eliminate German bases before they could make any difference. It's a story seldom told, but the fact remains that Greenland was the only part of the North American continent in which German troops maintained a presence throughout almost the entirety of the war.
