  When you read about what I got up to you’re going to say I got what I deserved. You’re right—I totally agree. Many of you won't like me no doubt and that’s ok—I understand, I really do. I’m not all bad though.I left the Isle of Skye in the early eighties to begin my nursing course in Edinburgh and it's fair to say I embraced the Capitals temptations with arms wide open. When I moved into a shared flat I met Bill, a musician, and got involved with his band Low Down, you know, helping them out, doing a bit of driving and humping gear about - it was great fun. Low Down were truly phenomenal. Man, I totally loved their music. We took drugs, I mean, I took drugs. Nothing heavy, just recreational-like.I met a lot of girls who I didn’t treat right and I’m not proud of my behaviour—honest. Nursing is a female-dominated profession and male nurses were thin on the ground. The opportunities for getting up to mischief were many. I worked hard and played harder.A lot of stuff I regret now. Especially what I did to Lisa – and others. Anyway, it couldn’t last, could it? The way I was living – something had to give.And it did.

  'To harness the ether for those who dwell upon the earth is one of the loveliest services that the modern age can render to humanity-Upward Radio!' 
  -Sarojini Naidu's note in the AIR visitors' book 
  'Neelesh Kulkarni and Vikrant Pande have written an immensely readable tribute to this venerable institution.' 
  -Padma Bhushan Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, musician, inventor and an acclaimed player of the Mohan Veena 
  'In this age of social media, the internet and television, if Neelesh Kulkarni and Vikrant Pande have penned a book on the influence and contribution of radio, I would rate it a brave effort. Somebody had to do it-and Neelesh and Vikrant have done it with rare authenticity.' 
  -Padma Shri Sushil Doshi, journalist, author and sports commentator 
  'This is an important book and a fascinating read. Kudos to Vikrant Pande and Neelesh Kulkarni for factually and meticulously chronicling the story of India's most-loved radio service-from the Mahatma speaking into the microphone to an AIR app today for the young.' 
  -Vasanthi Hariprakash, award-winning radio show host, journalist and entrepreneur 
   
  For decades, All India Radio or Akashvani, India's national broadcaster, has been 'the sound of India'. Be it Jawaharlal Nehru's iconic 'Tryst with Destiny' speech, shows such as Binaca Geetmala, cricket matches, movies or, more recently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Mann ki Baat, AIR has been and continues to be the primary source for programmes on news, entertainment and knowledge for many Indians. But there are innumerable fascinating stories associated with the radio channel itself.  
  For instance, did you know that Rabindranath Tagore dedicated a poem to AIR called 'Akashvani', which was adopted as the Hindi name? Or that an AIR producer was one of the first civilians to be let inside the Golden Temple after Operation Blue Star? Or that noted Pakistani ghazal singer Ghulam Ali used to make his disciples listen to AIR's Urdu service to understand correct Urdu pronunciation? 
  These and many other such tales make up Akashvani: All India Radio ki ek shatabdi ki kahaniyan. With anecdotes from producers, broadcasters, radio jockeys and listeners, this book is a must-read to understand AIR's pivotal role in the average Indian's life.

  A cinematic journey into the unclassified pages of The Adam and Eve Story by Chan Thomas — the only officially released material traced to CIA archives. Originally published as a much longer manuscript believed to exceed 200 pages, only 57 sanitized and partially redacted pages were officially released to the public. This presentation focuses exclusively on those verified declassified pages, including references to sections and material that remain withheld, censored, or missing from public release. 
  While disputed “full copies” continue to circulate online, their authenticity remains unverified. Exploring theories of ancient cataclysms, pole shifts, lost civilizations, and humanity’s forgotten past, this immersive narration brings the controversial text to life through atmospheric storytelling and cinematic visual art inspired by the unclassified material itself.

  A Garden Bird Year

  Britain’s gardens are a vast, living landscape and the home to hundreds of species of birds. Learn to pay attention to these visitors to your own garden or local park and you’ll have a front-row seat to the unfolding drama that is the garden bird’s year. 
  As dawn breaks across your back garden, if you were paying attention, you would notice that the robin and the blackbird are always the first birds to arrive. These ground hunters have large eyes, so don’t mind the dim light of the early morning. And that’s just the beginning of what you can learn watching your own back garden. Ornithologist Mike Toms has spent a year avidly observing his own garden, and the result is a comprehensive picture of the lives of garden birds. 
  From the crowded yet quiet January garden populated by migratory fieldfares and bramblings, to the riotous gardens of spring, filled with songbirds competing for mates, the garden ecosystem changes throughout the year. Learn to spot these changes, to greet the arrival of the swifts in May and the new crop of fledgling goldfinches and blackbirds in June, and you’ll find a new world opening up to you. 
  A Garden Bird’s Year is the perfect introduction to this world. Supremely readable, it explains biology and behaviour to paint a picture of the lives of common bird species, while also offering practical information for watching and feeding the birds in your own backyard. Toms details birds’ preferences for particular plants, seeds and feeders, so you can learn to attract different species to your own garden. He also charts fascinating recent adaptations – urban birds sleep later than their rural counterparts, probably because cities are on average a few degrees warmer, and they sing either earlier or later, to avoid competing with local traffic; and the balance of migratory birds to Britain is being affected by the world’s changing climate. Many species of garden birds are threatened, but there is much that each one of us can do to support them, to attract them, and to help them thrive through the year. 
  A Garden Bird Year is a must-read for anyone interested in ornithology, birdwatching, and nature. Mike Toms, a top expert in the field, provides a comprehensive guide to the life sciences of birds, and offers practical advice on how to attract and support them in your garden. 
  For fans of Dan Rouse (How to Attract Birds to Your Garden), Andy Swash (Hummingbirds), Stephen Rutt (The Eternal Season), Megan Mccubbin (An Atlas of Endangered Species), and Paul D. Brock (Britain's Insects).
