Summary

'Highly readable ... Everything we need to know on this subject' Financial Times
'Fascinating' Geographical Magazine
'A must read for anyone wanting to understand the forces shaping our world' Eliza Filby
'A compelling argument for having more children' New Statesman
A population calamity is unfolding before our eyes. It started in parts of the developed world and is spreading to the four corners of the globe. There are just too few babies being born for humanity to replace itself.
Leading demographer Paul Morland argues that the consequences of this promise to be calamitous. Labour shortages, pensions crises and ballooning debt threaten to engulf us all, and sooner than we think. Unless we radically change our attitudes towards parenthood and embrace a new progressive pro-natalism, argues Morland, we face disaster.

    Energy is vital for a good standard of living, and affordable sources of power that do not cause climate change or pollution are crucial. Renewable energy is recognized as providing the answer, with countries from around the world deciding at COP28 in 2023 to aim to triple the global renewable energy capacity by 2030, for the transition away from fossil fields to be on track for net-zero emissions by 2050.This Very Short Introduction describes the main sources of renewable energy—solar PV, wind, hydropower, and biomass—their innovative technologies, and what each could deliver. It also discusses the relatively small contributions expected from tidal, wave, geothermal, and nuclear power, and from carbon capture and storage. Electrification of buildings, industry, and transport for net-zero will roughly triple the supply of electricity, and this can be met predominantly by solar PV and wind power.The learning effect has resulted in a dramatic drop in the price of wind and solar PV power in the last decade, making them the cheapest generators of electricity in most parts of the world. The Very Short Introduction ends by discussing the actions needed that include strong consistent policies, financial initiatives to take advantage of the long-term benefits of renewables, and good community involvement.

    A Comic History Of Rome - A Wry...

    Forget dusty textbooks and noble senators. The real history of Rome is a chaotic, blood-soaked circus of power-crazed maniacs, backstabbing politicians, and enough megalomaniacs in togas to outfit a farce. 
Behind the marble pillars and glittering triumphs lay a world of two-faced demagogues and ruthless ambition. Gilbert Abbott A Beckett’s legendary Comic History of Rome drags the Eternal City’s glorious past into the gloriously witty gutter where it belongs. 
This is history as the finest form of satire. Witness the original sibling rivalry between Romulus and Remus, which ended—like so much in Rome—in betrayal. From the daring escape of Cloelia from the Etruscan camp to the grim reality of the gladiatorial arena, no sacred cow is left unskewered. A Beckett’s narrative, both “compendious and correct,” guides you through the chaos with dry, avuncular wit, suggesting we take the reign of Romulus with “an entire cellar of salt.” 
Now, listen as the venerable figures of antiquity are revived in all their farcical glory: eavesdrop on the Senate’s petty squabbles, follow Hannibal’s troublesome Alpine holiday, and endure the terrible poetry and even worse governance of Emperor Nero. The original illustrations are vividly brought to life through the narrator's sharp performance, preserving the unique charm of this classic. 
So, don your metaphorical laurel wreath and ready your laughter. This audiobook invites you to experience the hilarious rise and fall of an empire—a story far richer, and funnier, than any textbook would ever dare admit.
