  Mahaparbat - Ek Kahani Hamare...

  The Hindi translation of The Living Mountain. 
  A new story from internationally renowned author Amitav Ghosh, Mahaparbat is a cautionary tale of how we have systematically exploited nature, leading to an environmental collapse. 
  Recounted as a dream, this is a fable about Mahaparbat, the Living Mountain; the indigenous valley dwellers who live and prosper in its shelter; the assault on the mountain for commercial benefit by the Anthropoi, humans whose sole aim is to reap the bounty of nature; and the disaster that unfolds as a result. 
  Mahaparbat is especially relevant today when we have been battling a pandemic and are facing a climate catastrophe: both of which are products of our insufficient understanding of mankind's relationship with nature, and our sustained appropriation and abuse of natural resources. This is a book of our times, for our times, and it will resonate strongly with readers of all ages.

  Uncommon Ground: Rethinking our...

  ‘A curious-minded and subtle intervention in the politics of the countryside’ Sunday Times 
  'Galbraith spent three years investigating the truth about rural Britain and how we treat it. Uncommon Ground is the brilliant result' Daily Telegraph 
  'Very funny. Acutely observed. An attempt to look beyond the usual clichés of country life' Observer 
  “Brilliant. This book is a sort of necessary clever trespass itself, on everyone’s notions about ‘our land’.”Country Life 
  "Filled with voices from people who don’t always make the headlines in the UK land access debate."Scotsman 
  The countryside is under increasing pressure and people, the science shows, need nature. Access to the countryside is essential for our health, our happiness and our future. But does nature need us? 
  In January 2023, the largest land access demonstration since the 1930s took place on a bright wintery morning on Dartmoor. The access movement demands that the countryside be thrown open. This, they argue, would help nature by giving the public the opportunity to hold farmers and wealthy landowners to account. 
  But would it really work for Britain’s growing population to spill out across the countryside, and is access quite as restricted as we are led to believe? 
  In Uncommon Ground, Patrick Galbraith takes us on an extraordinary tour of rural Britain, from the Hebrides to Devon, and from Anglo-Saxon England to the present day. To uncover the truth and fully understand our deep connection with the land, he meets farmers, Irish Travellers, politicians, salmon poachers, and the nation's most-hated landowners, as well as activists calling for a total abolition of the right to own land. 
  In his much-celebrated style, Galbraith works hard to listen to those who often don’t get listened to. This raking survey of our fast-changing country, reveals the essence of rural Britain's soul. Uncommon Ground argues that what matters is not greater access but how we engage with the land and demands that landowners give us more opportunities to do so, while also giving endangered wildlife the right to tranquility. 
  Galbraith's Uncommon Ground is a top pick in non-fiction, offering a deep dive into the science of agriculture and the sociology of rural Britain. The book explores the delicate balance between public access and environmental protection, examining the political policies that shape our interactions with the land and the ecosystems that inhabit it. 
  For fans of John Lewis-Stempel (England), Benedict Macdonald (Cornerstones), Lee Schofield (Wild Fell), Isabella Tree (Wilding), and Derek Gow (Birds, Beasts and Bedlam).

How did our understanding of human anatomy develop? What aspects of human anatomy differentiate us from other animals and define us as humans? How did the human body come to be as it is?
