  Upland - A Journey through Time...

  'Fascinating and lyrical . . . A beautifully written celebration of a lifelong passion' – Stephen Venables
  The relationship of people with hills and mountains has been complex, rich and varied – from awe and wonder to fear and loathing, from spiritual longing to peaceful acceptance.
  As he explores our high places, Ian Crofton conjures up those who have been there before: Neolithic axe-makers, mass trespassers, shepherds, quarrymen, botanists, poets and pioneering cragsmen and women among them. At the same time, he is ever attuned to the present moment – a flash of bright moss in a bog, the swoop of an eagle above a skyline, a winter sun sinking into a sea of cloud.
  Following an arc from the gentle Downs of southern England to the wild peaks of Scotland's far north, Upland combines personal experiences with a keen curiosity about the history and nature of mountain landscapes, and the people who once worked and wandered among them. The result is a meditation on the enduring yet ever-changing hills, on the transience of human experience, and on the shifts and twists of time itself.

  The Fate of the World

  Why past climate change tells us it's almost too late.  
  A warning and a rallying-cry. 
  'Read it and weep, or read it and win' Chris Packham 
  A global refugee crisis. Extreme storms. Agriculture devastated. Economic ruin. Societal collapse. These are not just possibilities but likely outcomes of our ongoing failure to stem greenhouse gas emissions — and in our lifetimes. This alarming book explains why. 
  The Fate of the World is a 4.6-billion-year history of the Earth, putting contemporary global heating in the context of geological epochs and periods to reveal what past climate change can tell us about our planet’s future. It highlights with unflinching realism how what’s happening now compares with what happened in deep time — and explains the devastating impacts that are now more likely than not. 
  Renowned expert Bill McGuire reveals that our climate already all but matches that of the last interglacial period — the Eemian — when sea levels were 6 to 9 metres higher, and that it is on track to mimic the Pliocene period, when giant camels roamed the Arctic, as soon as the 2030s. Later this century, parts of our world could be experiencing double-figure temperature rises as we continue to wind the clock back 50 million years in a couple of centuries — and without urgent preparation, our civilization is very poorly placed to survive. 
  Notwithstanding the urgency of the message, this is a hopeful book. The future will be forbidding, but every tonne of carbon we do not emit will make it less so. We can all do our bit, and we must. 
  If you read just one book on the climate crisis, make it this one. 
  FAILED TO RUN THIS ONE 
  For fans of Tim Marshall (Prisoners of Geography), David Wallace-Wells (The Uninhabitable Earth), Mark Maslin (Climate Change), Lawrence Maxwell Krauss (The Physics of Climate Change), and Mike Berners-Lee (A Climate of Truth).
