  Finding Genius: Understanding...

  Although there are many books on sleep, THIS book was created to provide 80 unique, new, thought-provoking expert perspectives (I’m not counting myself as an expert, merely the interviewer of the 80 folks listed herein) all in one place. Another important reason for this book? To help people like you who have sleep problems. 
  Remember when you were younger and you slept like a baby? You could sleep almost anywhere. You laid your head down, closed your eyes, and the next thing you knew, it was time to wake up. You woke up and felt energized, ready for the day ahead. 
  It may have been years since you slept well, but nearly everyone I’ve known has at least one memory of a great night’s sleep. Now that you’re older, perhaps most nights you sleep well; perhaps, like most, most nights you DON’T sleep well, and if you’re lucky, one night a week you sleep better than the others – but it’s not enough to say that you’re sleeping well consistently. 
  From my personal experience in improving my sleep, creating a line of custom-tailored head, huggable and knee-to-ankle pillows, and interviewing well over 124 scientists and sleep entrepreneurs, I’ve learned that there is no one thing you can do to improve your sleep 100%. 
  The reality and the truth of sleeping well? Each tweak to how you sleep and your sleeping conditions will improve your sleep by a few percentage points. The key to sleeping optimally is incorporating multiple ways to improve your sleep. Various improvements – 5% here, 2% there – can add up to a 50% improvement, even an 80% improvement in your sleep. 
  Everyone has seven nights a week to get good sleep or poor sleep. Imagine how your life will improve when you can go from one good night of sleep a week to three, five, or even six good nights a week.

  Flint - a lithic love letter

  'A very British love-letter to the beauty of flint' Daily Telegraph
  Joanne Bourne has been in awe of flint as long as she can remember.
  It was all around her where she grew up in Kent: used for garden walls, to edge drives and weight dustbin lids, as well as to build pubs, churches, Roman villas and castles. For centuries it was the only building stone available.
  It is also magical. Made from the remains of plankton and sea sponges, it is second only in hardness to a diamond and can be used to make fire. Part of human development for three million years, it was used as a weapon to hunt and in war, and hung as protection against thunderbolts and fairies.
  In a deeply personal love letter to this extraordinary 'biogenic' rock, Bourne traces its geological, architectural and social history and invites us to roam with her in search of it on her beloved North Downs.
  Fusing science, poetry, history and a profound love of landscape, this is her heartfelt, thoroughly persuasive tribute to the stone she calls 'an art project of the great divine'.
