  • Where the Seals Sing: Exploring the Hidden Lives of Britain’s Grey Seals - cover

    Where the Seals Sing: Exploring...

    There are fewer grey seals in the world than endangered African elephants, but the British Isles host almost half of this global population. Every year these charismatic animals, with their expressive eyes and whiskers more sensitive than our fingertips, haul out on our shores to breed and raise their pups. 
    As graceful in the sea as they might seem clumsy on land, grey seals have visited our shores and enriched our culture for centuries. Yet we still know relatively little about these captivating animals. As Susan Richardson journeys to the crags and crevices of the coast, she explores the mysteries and mythologies of seals, learning not just how they live but also how we ought to live with them. 
    PRAISE FOR SUSAN RICHARDSON 
    ‘Cut and precise, archaic and innovative, transcendent and in-the-moment, [Richardson] sees the life of the sea as a mirror of ourselves, and vice versa: always changing, always the same … Vital, glorious and salutary’ 
    PHILIP HOARE, AUTHOR OF LEVIATHAN 
    ‘[Richardson] writes in prehensile language, capable of grasping something vast, ancient, chthonic: the Earth in must’ 
    JAY GRIFFITHS, AUTHOR OF WILD 
    ‘Richardson beautifully marries the landscape of the polar regions with their – and her own – emotional topography’ 
    SARA WHEELER 
    Susan Richardson has always been entranced by seals; they seem to have surfaced at key junctions throughout her life, comforting her as an anxious child, bringing joy as she began to spread her wings as a writer and helping her to find her way after the loss of her mother. Now she sets out to trace the rhythm of their lives, travelling the coasts clockwise from Cornwall to Norfolk, in line with the autumn pupping season. Along the way she explores the myths surrounding seals, from their shapeshifting selkie skins to the claims that they decimate fish populations, and she discovers that the greatest dangers they face come from co-existing with us. 
     Brimming with vivid descriptions of the natural world, Where the Seals Sing is a lyrical tale of memory, rescue and rehabilitation. While loss, both personal and ecological, is a recurring theme, the human–seal connection that flows through the story is stirring and uplifting. 
    In this award-winning exploration of coastal ecosystems and the relationships between humans and wildlife, Richardson delves into the world of zoology and folklore, shedding light on the often misunderstood creatures of the shorelines. Her narrative, steeped in science and social commentary, is a testament to the resilience of nature and the enduring bonds of family. 
    For fans of Chloe Dalton (Raising Hare), Thomas Halliday (Otherlands), Natalie Sanders (The Last Sunset in the West), Wyl Menmuir (The Heart of the Woods), and Samantha Harvey (The Shapeless Unease).

    The Control of Nature is John McPhee's bestselling account of places where people are locked in combat with nature. Taking us deep into these contested territories, McPhee details the strategies and tactics through which people attempt to control nature. Most striking is his depiction of the main contestants: nature in complex and awesome guises, and those attempting to wrest control from her—stubborn, sometimes foolhardy, more often ingenious, and always arresting characters.

    Somewhere between myths and hard facts you find Nome, poised also between yesterday and tomorrow. Drawing on his background in anthropology and an equal passion for history, Michael Engelhard surveys the seam that links two neighboring continents through the lens of one pivotal city. The region's legacy of millennia shines on pages enriched by this writer's recollections—from mammoths to Cold War monuments, from a spa turned orphanage, to cyclist miners and shaman hoards. Meet the explorers and adventurers, reindeer herders and hustlers, the dancers, drummers, dreamers, warriors, walrus-tusk carvers, and whalers, clergy, foragers, and photographers who shaped a place of conflicting visions as thoroughly as it shaped them.

    String Theory - Exploring the...

    String theory is one of the most profound and ambitious areas of modern physics, proposing that the fundamental building blocks of the universe are not point particles, as traditionally believed, but rather tiny, vibrating strings. These strings, though incredibly small, can exist in multiple forms, each corresponding to a different type of particle. String theory has the potential to unify the four known fundamental forces of nature—gravity, electromagnetism, the weak nuclear force, and the strong nuclear force—into a single, coherent framework. This vision of a unified theory of everything is one of the most exciting prospects in theoretical physics. 
    The roots of string theory date back to the late 1960s, when theoretical physicists began exploring the idea that the strong nuclear force, which binds quarks together in protons and neutrons, might be mediated by a one-dimensional object, a string, rather than a point-like particle. Initially, this idea was pursued primarily as a means of explaining certain aspects of quantum mechanics and particle interactions. However, as the theory evolved, it began to offer potential solutions to some of the most vexing problems in physics, including the unification of forces and the nature of gravity. 
    One of the key features of string theory is the concept of extra dimensions. In classical physics, we live in a universe of three spatial dimensions and one time dimension. However, string theory suggests that the universe may have many more dimensions, hidden from our everyday perception. These extra dimensions are compactified, meaning they are curled up so small that they are effectively invisible at macroscopic scales. The number of extra dimensions in string theory varies depending on the specific version of the theory, but the most popular form, known as superstring theory, suggests the existence of ten dimensions.
