  Prehistoric Warfare: The History...

  Most scientists believe the evolution of humans has a history nearly as long as life itself. Anatomically modern humans and all other life that has existed on the planet first came about from the single-celled microorganisms that emerged approximately 4 billion years ago. Through the processes of mutation and natural selection, all forms of life developed, and this continuous lineage of life makes it difficult to say precisely when one species completely separates from another. In other words, scientists still debate when a human became a human rather than the ancestor species that came before.  
  	Among paleontologists, the question of human propensity for warfare in prehistoric eons has persisted. Primitive conflict that in time grew into a modern military phenomenon has become an increasing avenue of study. Scientists seek to ascertain whether the distant ancestral line of humans is genetically disposed toward the act of war, or whether social and geographical development have created a circumstantial environment for large-scale societal collisions.  
  	Depictions of humans pierced with arrows began to appear in the Aurignacian-Périgordian eras (30,000 years ago), and in the early Magdalenian era (17,000 years ago). A work of Mesolithic art (20,000 to 10,000 years ago) shows an explicit battle between groups of archers, and in Valencia, a group of three archers are seen surrounded by four of the similarly armed enemy in the Cova del Roure la Vella in Castellón. In the Ares del Maestrat in Alcañiz of Aragon, another work depicts warriors fleeing a group of eight archers, while a similar work at Val del Charco del Agua in Aragon shows seven archers with plumed headgear. Other examples show warriors in lines and columns with a “distinctly garbed leader at the front.” In a sense, it’s entirely reasonable to believe that the earliest people were violent and engaged in warfare the same way people did throughout more recent eras.

  This bundle invites readers to walk the marble-paved streets of Rome at its height. The first section, Imperial Rome, explores the structured yet lavish lives of Roman elites, administrators, and common citizens. It reveals how the empire maintained order across vast territories using laws, infrastructure, and an intricate bureaucracy—while projecting power through majestic architecture and imperial ceremonies. From the palaces of emperors to the hum of city forums, this part paints a vivid picture of Rome's beating heart. 
  The second section, Gladiators and Games, dives into the thrilling (and often brutal) world of Roman entertainment. Learn about the engineering marvels of the Colosseum, the blood-soaked spectacles that kept the masses distracted, and the lives of gladiators who fought for fame and freedom. This part also covers chariot racing, theatrical performances, and the philosophy behind “bread and circuses”—how entertainment functioned as both cultural glue and political strategy. 
  In the final section, The Pax Romana, readers will discover the period of unprecedented peace and prosperity that allowed art, trade, and daily life to flourish. This chapter explores how stability encouraged innovation and helped Rome become a melting pot of cultures, ideas, and wealth. Imperial Life is a journey into the grandeur, governance, and gatherings that made Rome more than a military powerhouse—it was also a cultural empire that continues to fascinate the modern world.

  Uncommon Ground: Rethinking our...

  ‘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).
