    It can be easy to think that we live in a daylight world – we see the flowers, hear the birds, watch butterflies then we go to bed and it all stops. Or rather, we stop paying attention. However, what goes on at night is every bit as exciting. 
    Five Nights Out takes us on a journey through Hugh’s interactions with some of our favourite nocturnal creatures including hedgehogs, bats, owls and more. Including many facts about each creature and a re-telling of some of Hugh’s own journeys trying to view them, Five Nights Out is a perfect read for any naturalist.

    This book takes readers on a thrilling journey through the hidden layers of the cosmos. In Exploring the Invisible, we peer beyond the limits of human sight into a world driven by forces we can’t touch or see—like gravity, dark matter, and the quantum fields that ripple beneath reality. 
    In Invisible Worlds, the adventure continues as we dive into the possibility of hidden dimensions, parallel universes, and strange particles that whisper secrets about how space and time truly work. Scientists are only beginning to uncover the shadowy realms that influence everything from how galaxies form to how atoms behave. 
    Finally, Space's Hidden Forces reveals the quiet rulers of the universe—dark energy expanding space at lightning speed, magnetic fields shaping stars, and neutrinos flying through us every second. These unseen powers may hold the answers to the biggest questions in science, reshaping what we think we know about existence itself.

    Whether sharing a spectacular shot from a deep-space probe, announcing a development in genetic engineering, or crafting an easy-to-reference list of cancer risk factors, science public information officers, or PIOs, serve as scientific liaisons, connecting academic, nonprofit, government, and other research organizations with the public. And as traditional media outlets cut back on their science coverage, PIOs are becoming a vital source for science news. W. Matthew Shipman’s Handbook for Science Public Information Officers covers all aspects of communication strategy and tactics for members of this growing specialty. It includes how to pitch a story, how to train researchers to navigate interviews, how to use social media effectively, and how to respond to a crisis. The handbook offers a wealth of practical advice while teaching science PIOs how to think critically about what they do and how they do it, so that they will be prepared to take advantage of any situation, rather than being overwhelmed by it. For all science communicators—whether they’re starting their careers, crossing over from journalism or the research community, or professional communicators looking to hone their PIO skills—Shipman’s Handbook for Science Public Information Officers will become their go-to reference.

    The Titanic. The Britannic. The Olympic. They are some of the most famous ships in history, but for the wrong reasons. 
     
     
     
    The Olympic Class liners were conceived as the largest, grandest ships ever to set sail. Of the three ships built, the first only lost the record for being the largest because she was beaten by the second, and they were both beaten by the third. The class was meant to secure the White Star Line's reputation as the greatest shipping company on earth. Instead, with the loss of both the Titanic and the Britannic in their first year of service, it guaranteed White Star's infamy. 
     
     
     
    This unique book tells the extraordinary story of these three extraordinary ships from the bottom up, starting with their conception and construction (and later their modification) and following their very different careers. Behind the technical details of these magnificent ships lies a tragic human story—not just of the lives lost aboard the Titanic and Britannic, but of the designers pushing the limits beyond what was actually possible, engineers unable to prepare for every twist of fate, and ship owners and crew who truly believed a ship could be unsinkable.

    Cardiology is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of heart-related conditions. As one of the most vital specialties in modern medicine, it plays a crucial role in improving life expectancy and quality of life for patients with heart diseases. The heart is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body, delivering oxygen and nutrients essential for survival. Therefore, any disruption in its function can have far-reaching consequences for an individual's health. 
    The field of cardiology has a rich history, evolving significantly over the centuries. Early understanding of the heart was rudimentary, with ancient civilizations attributing its function to the soul or emotions. It was not until the 17th century, with the groundbreaking work of William Harvey, that the concept of blood circulation was fully understood. Over time, advancements in medical technology and scientific knowledge have led to a more detailed understanding of the heart's anatomy, function, and the diseases that affect it. 
    Today, cardiology is a highly specialized field that requires expertise in various sub-disciplines, including interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, heart failure management, and pediatric cardiology. The role of a cardiologist extends beyond diagnosis and treatment to include preventative care, patient education, and collaboration with other healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive care. Cardiologists use a combination of clinical evaluations, diagnostic tests, and imaging techniques to identify and treat heart diseases such as coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, heart failure, and valvular heart diseases.
