It delves into the intersection of nature, biology, and life sciences to highlight the risks these trees pose to humans, animals, and the environment. The book details how seemingly harmless trees can contain potent toxins like glycosides and alkaloids, which can disrupt biological processes, leading to a range of health issues.

    ‘Absolute heaven.’ Jilly Cooper 
    A hilarious and heartfelt year following one woman and her puppy – from chaos and tears to healing and new beginnings. It’s a love story, but not as you know it.  
    Raising a puppy is simple: feed them, walk them, love them. Right? Wrong. 
    Armed with Pinterest-perfect plans and firm ideas about training, Sophia brings Dennis – a scruffy and defiant Parson terrier – into her life. But just as the puppy pads hit the floor, the rest of her world falls apart. 
    Suddenly single and quietly unravelling, Sophia finds herself solo parenting a tiny, gleeful agent of chaos who devours foam earplugs, destroys her shoes, and has an alarming taste for spiders. He’s also the only thing keeping her afloat. 
    As the months roll by in a haze of dodgy first dates, sleepless nights and meltdowns in the park, Sophia begins to make sense of it all: the grief of a life that didn’t go to plan, the weirdness of being single in your late thirties, and the surprising ways love shows up when you least expect it. 
    By the end of their first year together, Dennis hasn’t just wrecked the furniture — he’s quietly rebuilt her life. 
    For anyone who’s ever been through shattering heartbreak, this is a story of quiet resilience, unpredictable joy, and the quiet wonder of a small body curled beside you when it matters most.  
    Sophia Money-Coutts The Year of the Dog is a top pick for anyone who has experienced the pain of separation and the healing power of pets. This autobiography is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of friendship and family.

    In Travels with Plotinus, Moin Mir follows Plotinus's 1,780-year-old journey of personal discovery across India, Egypt, Italy, Greece and Turkey as he tries to understand the core concept of Plotinian thought, derived from studying the Upanishads – 'Unity and Oneness'.
    
    He uses Plotinus's philosophy to observe how the free will of intellect uses 'Unity' for good and evil. Intimate conversations with refugees escaping war, innocent boatmen drifting down the Nile, simple farmers and monks in Greece along with observations of ancient art and modern technological accomplishments inform his thoughts and writing on the concept of the oneness of humankind – its immense power to bring good and yet its vulnerability to the stealth of intellect to destroy and self-destruct.
