    Dengue fever is a viral illness transmitted primarily by mosquitoes, particularly the Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus species. It is widespread in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, affecting millions of people each year. Despite significant efforts to combat the disease, dengue continues to pose a major public health threat, especially in densely populated urban areas. The virus, which is transmitted when an infected mosquito bites a person, causes symptoms that range from mild flu-like signs to severe and potentially fatal complications, including dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome. These complications can be life-threatening and often require immediate medical intervention. 
    While there is no specific antiviral treatment for dengue, medical care focuses on managing symptoms and preventing complications, especially during severe cases. The availability of a vaccine for dengue, though promising, has had mixed results and is not universally accessible or suitable for all individuals. As such, prevention remains the cornerstone of dengue control. The best ways to protect against the virus include reducing mosquito exposure, controlling mosquito populations, and implementing preventive measures such as using insect repellent, wearing protective clothing, and eliminating breeding sites for mosquitoes. 
    In recent years, there has been a growing interest in natural remedies and alternative treatments for managing dengue fever. While conventional medical treatments are essential, many individuals seek complementary approaches to support the body’s natural healing processes, enhance immunity, and alleviate symptoms. This book aims to provide an in-depth exploration of both conventional and natural strategies for preventing and treating dengue fever, with a particular focus on natural remedies for symptom relief, immune support, and overall recovery.

    What are the politics of nature? Who owns it, where is it, what role does it play in our lives? Does it need to be tamed? Are we ourselves natural? In A Darker Wilderness, a constellation of luminary writers reflect on the significance of nature in their lived experience and on the role of nature in the lives of Black folks in the United States. Each of these essays engages with a single archival object, whether directly or obliquely, exploring stories spanning hundreds of years and thousands of miles, traveling from roots to space and finding rich Blackness everywhere. 
     
     
     
    Erin Sharkey considers Benjamin Banneker's 1795 almanac, as she follows the passing of seasons in an urban garden in Buffalo. Naima Penniman reflects on a statue of Haitian revolutionary François Makandal, within her own pursuit of environmental justice. Ama Codjoe meditates on rain, hair, protest, and freedom via a photo of a woman during a civil rights demonstration in Alabama. And so on with wide-ranging contributions unearthing evidence of the ways Black people's relationship to the natural world has persevered through colonialism, slavery, violence, and structurally racist policies.

    ‘A curious-minded and subtle intervention in the politics of the countryside’ Sunday Times 
    'Galbraith spent three years investigating the truth about rural Britain and how we treat it. Uncommon Ground is the brilliant result' Daily Telegraph 
    'Very funny. Acutely observed. An attempt to look beyond the usual clichés of country life' Observer 
    “Brilliant. This book is a sort of necessary clever trespass itself, on everyone’s notions about ‘our land’.”Country Life 
    "Filled with voices from people who don’t always make the headlines in the UK land access debate."Scotsman 
    The countryside is under increasing pressure and people, the science shows, need nature. Access to the countryside is essential for our health, our happiness and our future. But does nature need us? 
    In January 2023, the largest land access demonstration since the 1930s took place on a bright wintery morning on Dartmoor. The access movement demands that the countryside be thrown open. This, they argue, would help nature by giving the public the opportunity to hold farmers and wealthy landowners to account. 
    But would it really work for Britain’s growing population to spill out across the countryside, and is access quite as restricted as we are led to believe? 
    In Uncommon Ground, Patrick Galbraith takes us on an extraordinary tour of rural Britain, from the Hebrides to Devon, and from Anglo-Saxon England to the present day. To uncover the truth and fully understand our deep connection with the land, he meets farmers, Irish Travellers, politicians, salmon poachers, and the nation's most-hated landowners, as well as activists calling for a total abolition of the right to own land. 
    In his much-celebrated style, Galbraith works hard to listen to those who often don’t get listened to. This raking survey of our fast-changing country, reveals the essence of rural Britain's soul. Uncommon Ground argues that what matters is not greater access but how we engage with the land and demands that landowners give us more opportunities to do so, while also giving endangered wildlife the right to tranquility. 
    Galbraith's Uncommon Ground is a top pick in non-fiction, offering a deep dive into the science of agriculture and the sociology of rural Britain. The book explores the delicate balance between public access and environmental protection, examining the political policies that shape our interactions with the land and the ecosystems that inhabit it. 
    For fans of John Lewis-Stempel (England), Benedict Macdonald (Cornerstones), Lee Schofield (Wild Fell), Isabella Tree (Wilding), and Derek Gow (Birds, Beasts and Bedlam).

    Our planet is an extraordinary place, teeming with life and natural wonders. Yet, beneath the beauty and stability of our world lies an inherent fragility that we must never overlook. From the forces of nature to the actions of humanity, numerous threats exist that could drastically alter the course of life on Earth. These dangers range from natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions and asteroid impacts to man-made catastrophes like nuclear war and the consequences of climate change. While these events may seem distant or improbable, they are very real and have the potential to affect us all in profound ways. 
    To fully grasp the magnitude of these threats, it is crucial to understand how they arise and their potential consequences. Many of the dangers that could lead to the end of the world are rooted in forces that have shaped our planet for millions of years. However, modern society faces new, unique risks that previous generations never imagined. Natural disasters, though unpredictable, are part of the Earth's natural cycles, while human actions—whether through pollution, warfare, or technological mismanagement—have introduced entirely new categories of risk. As technology advances and our global interconnectedness grows, the potential for widespread disaster becomes more complex and difficult to anticipate. 
    When examining the ways the world could end, it is essential to distinguish between natural and man-made catastrophes. Natural disasters, like earthquakes, tsunamis, and pandemics, have been occurring throughout Earth's history, long before humans arrived on the scene. These events have shaped ecosystems, driven evolutionary processes, and, at times, caused mass extinctions. On the other hand, man-made catastrophes, such as nuclear warfare or the unchecked expansion of artificial intelligence, are unique to modern civilization.

    By the star physicist and author of multiple #1 Sunday Times bestsellers, a major and definitive narrative work on black holes and how they can help us understand the universe.  
    At the heart of our galaxy lies a monster so deadly it can bend space, throwing vast jets of radiation millions of light years out into the cosmos. Its kind were the very first inhabitants of the universe, the black holes. 
    Today, across the universe, at the heart of every galaxy, and dotted throughout, mature black holes are creating chaos. And in a quiet part of the universe, the Swift satellite has picked up evidence of a gruesome death caused by one of these dark powers. High energy X-ray flares shooting out from deep within the Draco constellation are thought to be the dying cries of a white dwarf star being ripped apart by the intense tides of a supermassive black hole – heating it to millions of degrees as it is shredded at the event horizon. 
    They have the power to wipe out any of the universe’s other inhabitants, but no one has ever seen a black hole itself die. But 1.8 billion light years away, the LIGO instruments have recently detected something that could be the closest a black hole gets to death. Gravitational waves given off as two enormous black holes merge together. And now scientists think that these gravitational waves could be evidence of two black holes connecting to form a wormhole – a link through space and time. It seems outlandish, but today’s physicists are daring to think the unthinkable – that black holes could connect us to another universe. 
    At their very heart, black holes are also where Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity is stretched in almost unimaginable ways, revealing black holes as the key to our understanding of the fundamentals of our universe and perhaps all other universes. 
    Join Professors Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw in exploring our universe’s most mysterious inhabitants, how they are formed, why they are essential components of every galaxy, including our own, and what secrets they still hold, waiting to be discovered.
