Walker doesn't just stop at illustrating the beneficial aspects of good sleep; he sheds light on the perilous path that chronic sleep deprivation can lead individuals down, impacting everything from memory retention to the immune system. 
    By amalgamating scientific research with accessible narratives, the book unravels the complex relationship between sleep and a host of other factors including diet, exercise, and mental health. It explains how sleep can dictate emotional well-being, decision-making, and even the predisposition to diseases such as Alzheimer's and cancer.

Walker provides a comprehensive overview of the latest findings in sleep science, effectively dismissing myths and misconceptions that have long surrounded this essential biological function.

    A Waterstones Best Book of 2024: Nature Writing 
    The untold story of rural Britain revealed through its artefacts 
    'A really lovely, fascinating book. I dived straight into this clever, joyous, celebration of nature, history, and – of course – the countryside.' Charles Spencer, author of The White Ship 
    For most of human history, we were rural folk.  
    Our daily lives were bound up with working the land, living within the rhythm of the seasons. We poured our energies into growing food, tending to animals and watching the weather. Family, friends and neighbours were often one and the same. Life revolved around the village and its key spaces and places – the church, the green, the school and the marketplace. 
    And yet rural life is oddly invisible our historical records. The daily routine of the peasant, the farmer or the craftsperson could never compete with the glamour of city life, war and royal drama. Lives went unrecorded, stories untold. 
    There is, though, one way in which we can learn about our rural past. The things we have left behind provide a connection that no document can match; physical artefacts are touchstones that breathe life into its history. From farming tools to children’s toys, domestic objects and strange curios, the everyday items of the past reveal fascinating insights into an often-forgotten way of life. Birth, death, celebration, work, crime, play, medicine, beliefs, diet and our relationship with nature can all be read from these remnants of our past. 
    From ancient artefacts to modern-day memorabilia, this startling book weaves a rich tapestry from the fragments of our rural past. 
    In her non-fiction book A Brief History of the Countryside in 100 Objects, Sally Coulthard explores the social and cultural dynamics of rural life in Europe. The book, steeped in anthropology and environmental conservation, emphasises the importance of regional studies and the protection of our environment. 
    For fans of Jane Cooper (The Lost Flock), Charles King (Every Valley), Lee Alan Dugatkin (Mr. Jefferson and the Giant Moose), James Rebanks (The Shepherd's View), and Clara Parkes (Vanishing Fleece).

    Reusable rockets and mass production of spacecraft and their components mean that the cost of access to and operation in space is dropping rapidly and making ever more space businesses economically viable. There are now already thousands of space start-up companies. The space economy is expected to grow to several trillion dollars over the next decades. Space technology may help solve challenges on Earth, ranging from climate change over food and energy security to quality healthcare. This book, written by renowned space investor and educator Raphael Roettgen, explains these trends, the implications for all of us, and how each and every one of us can be part of this exciting sector, whether as a pioneering entrepreneur or a space tourist. 
    Testimonials (incl. for the German and Portuguese editions)

    "Remote sensing, navigation and telecommunications are the backbone of our digital economy. Therefore, no one will be able to ignore space going forward." 
    - Frank Salzgeber, Acting Vice Governor for Space; Communications, Space & Technology Commission (CST), Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

    A prize-winning memoirist and nature writer turns to the lives of plants entangled in our human world to explore belonging, displacement, identity, and the truths of our shared future 
     
     
     
    A seed slips beyond a garden wall. A tree is planted on a precarious border. A shrub is stolen from its culture and its land. What happens when these plants leave their original homes and put down roots elsewhere? 
     
     
     
    In fourteen essays, Dispersals explores the entanglements of the plant and human worlds: from species considered invasive, like giant hogweed; to those vilified but intimate, like soy; and those like kelp, on which our futures depend. Each of the plants considered in this collection are somehow perceived as being "out of place"—weeds, samples collected through imperial science, crops introduced and transformed by our hand. Combining memoir, history, and scientific research in poetic prose, Jessica J. Lee meditates on the question of how both plants and people come to belong, why both cross borders, and how our futures are more entwined than we might imagine.
