  An immersive history of our coasts and the people who have shaped them 
  The coast means something different to everyone. 
  It’s a place of pleasure and reckless pursuits, of fishing, fearless endeavours and a crashing, rugged beauty. The coast is, and always has been, our first line of defence and our springboard to other cultures. 
  Through the lens of 100 carefully selected objects, this treasure chest of a book delves into the myriad ways our coastlines have shaped, and been shaped by, our history, culture, and identity. From Roman lighthouses to rosary beads, knitted jumpers to Viking slave shackles, each object serves as a portal to a unique story. 
  Sally Coulthard’s engaging narrative goes far beyond the traditional seaside holiday to illuminate the coast’s role as a first line of defence, a site of trade, and a catalyst for cultural exchange. Readers will discover how the coast has influenced our beliefs, economy, and even our domestic lives. And, looking out to sea, this book will show how Britain’s story is anchored to those of our European neighbours and of faraway lands. 
  From one of Britain’s finest historians of material culture, this book vividly captures the enduring magic and significance of our shores. Whether it’s smugglers’ underpants or sailor’s hoaxes, whale vomit or pickled puffin – it all washes up on the British coast… 
  At once social and coastal, the book drifts along Britain’s shorelines and across oceans, letting seashells and other objects conjure the character of different regions and habitats. With nature and ecosystems threaded through every tale, it’s the latest non-fiction for readers who want the best of history, beautifully washed clean by salt and time. 
  For fans of Jane Cooper (The Lost Flock), James Rebanks (The Shepherd's View), Clara Parkes (Vanishing Fleece), Robert Macfarlane (Desert Solitaire), and Robin Wall Kimmerer (The Serviceberry).

  In “Sleep”, Carlos H. Schenck, M.D., a leading sleep expert with over 40 years experience, presents a probing exploration of sleep, an activity that occupies over 200,000 hours of our lives. This timeless book delves into the intricate processes of sleep and the peculiar dysfunctions that can emerge, ranging from common issues like insomnia and sleep apnea to the more mysterious and extreme disorders known as “parasomnias”. These include dream enactment, sleep related eating disorder, sexsomnia, night terrors, and sleep violence, which surprisingly affect millions. 
  What distinguishes Dr. Schenck's work is his focus on the forefront of sleep science, particularly in identifying and treating parasomnias. He reveals their connection to more typical sleep problems and the implications for their treatment. The book is enriched with startling real-life examples from Dr. Schenck's extensive clinical practice, such as a woman who discovers chocolate wrappers in her bed upon waking or a man who, in his sleep, mistakenly perceives his wife as a threat. These narratives, drawn directly from patient experiences, illustrate the often terrifying and dangerous aspects of these disorders, offering hope and solutions to those affected and their families. 
  Significantly, each chapter of the book encompasses a wide range of sleep disorders, enriched with personal stories reported by Dr. Schenck's patients. These accounts provide an intimate first-person perspective on living with these conditions, making the book a uniquely relevant and comprehensive guide for anyone suffering from sleep disorders. By combining engaging patient narratives with the latest in medical research, "Sleep" serves as an essential resource for understanding and navigating the complex world of sleep disorders, shedding light on one of our most enigmatic medical puzzles.

  Catching cancer early remains the single best way to combat a disease that is the second-leading killer in both the US and worldwide. But the vast majority of resources in the fight against cancer are devoted to relatively ineffective late-stage treatments. Early Detection examines this important anomaly in an accessible and expertly researched survey.In a co-authorship that brings together the passion and urgency of someone touched deeply by the experience of cancer with the knowledge of a skilled science writer, Ratner and Bonislawski narrate compelling case studies across a range of screening programs and different forms of cancer. They look at the science underpinning early detection and discuss the organizational and social challenges of widespread screening, a dimension that has been shown to be especially important in the COVID-19 pandemic. And they call for the government and the medical establishment to provide resources for expanding screening, especially in economically disadvantaged communities that have traditionally been underserved.
