Synopsis

"Mammoth Graveyards" explores the mysteries held within concentrated deposits of mammoth remains, offering insights into the Late Pleistocene extinction event. These graveyards, found across continents, are not random bone accumulations, but rather snapshots of past ecological conditions. The book uniquely focuses on taphonomy, the study of how these fossil sites formed, to accurately reconstruct past environments and the lives of mammoths.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the geographic distribution and geological context of mammoth graveyards. It then evaluates major extinction theories like climate change and human hunting, using paleontological data such as radiocarbon dating and fossil analysis, derived from the graveyards themselves. A key argument is that rigorous scientific analysis of these sites reveals the complex interplay of factors contributing to megafaunal extinctions, highlighting the need to consider multiple interacting elements rather than a single cause.

 
These findings inform current discussions about biodiversity loss and potential future extinctions.

Peach Street to Lobster Lane:...

Felicity Cloake

'A glorious freewheel through the culinary quirks and delights of the USA – an unmissable treat!' – Tim Spector 
When the nation’s ‘taster-in-chief’ Felicity Cloake announced her dream to cycle across America, the reactions were… mixed: “You’ll get squashed,” warned a Californian colleague. “You’ll be murdered,” added her mum. Friends panicked: “But… what will you eat?” 
Determined to prove there’s more to American food than the cartoonish glamour of burgers and doughnuts (though she tries those too), Felicity embarks on the ultimate coast-to-coast adventure, tackling highways, byways and pieways by bike in an unforgettable election year. While the news cycle spins with outrage, what she discovers on the ground is far richer: a wildly varied place of warm hospitality, local pride and unforgettable flavours — from crawfish stew to sauerkraut balls, Memphis barbecue to Mission burritos, Italian beef to Tex-Mex gyoza, she dives into iconic dishes and the stories behind them. 
Drawn to the scale, energy and contrasts of a country as complex as its cuisine, Felicity takes us along for the ride — mile by mile, meal by meal — finding a nation that’s welcoming, generous and full of heart where it counts: around the table. 
Felicity Cloake, in her latest non-fiction masterpiece, PEACH STREET TO LOBSTER LANE, takes us on a culinary journey across America, exploring regional cuisines and cultural narratives through her unique lens. Her travelogues, filled with the best of American cooking, are a testament to her adventurous spirit and love for recreation. 
For fans of Stanley Tucci (What I Ate in One Year), Peter Mayle (My Twenty-Five Years in Provence), Nigella Lawson (Cook, Eat, Repeat), Max Halley (Max's Sandwich Book), and Janine Marsh (My Four Seasons in France).

The Turning Tide

Jon Gower

An immersive history of a pivotal stretch of water
‘Fascinating, spellbinding, erudite and great fun.’ Roddy Doyle
‘Remarkable. Lively … Gower writes beautifully [and] the book is profoundly popular.’ Times Literary Supplement
The Turning Tide is a hymn to a sea passage of world-historical importance. Combining social and cultural history, nature-writing, travelogue and politics, Welshman Jon Gower charts a sea which has carried both Vikings and saints; invasion forces, royals and rebels; writers, musicians and fishermen.
The divided but interconnected waters of the Irish Sea – from the narrow North Channel through St George’s Channel to where the Celtic sea opens out into the wide Atlantic – have a turbulent history to match the violence of its storms. Jon Gower is a sympathetic and interested pilot, taking the reader to the great shipyards of Belfast and through the mass exodus of the starving during the Irish Famine in coffin boats bound for America. He follows the migrations of working men and women looking for work in England and tells the tales of more casual travellers: sometimes seasick, often homesick too.
The Irish Sea is also a place with an abundant natural history. The rarest sea bird in Europe visits its coasts in summer while the rarest goose wings in during winter.
The Turning Tide navigates waters teeming with life, filled with seals and salt-tanged stories and surveyed by seabirds. Lyrically written and fizzing with curiosity, this is a remarkable and far-reaching book.
The latest work from award-winning author Jon Gower, The Turning Tide, is a short-listed masterpiece that delves into the geography of Ireland and Britain. This prize-winning book is a testament to his winning storytelling, making it a top pick for readers.
For fans of Mark Rees (The Little Book of Welsh Culture), Stephen Rule (Welsh and I), Alice Roberts (The Little Book of Humanism), Darren Chetty (The Good Immigrant), and Neil Oliver (The Story of the World in 100 Moments).

How To Remain Humble: When...

Benjamin Edwards

You are holding a practical guide to humility written for people who prefer their modesty to be effective, repeatable, and difficult to dispute in meetings. 
In How to Remain Humble, Benjamin Edwards lays out a step by step system for appearing grounded while quietly becoming unavoidable. You will learn how to speak less and be quoted more, how to “share” credit in a way that returns with interest, how to apologize with the precision of a locksmith, and how to ask questions that feel supportive right up until the room changes direction. 
This is not a book about shrinking yourself. That would be irresponsible. This is about making other people feel strangely safe while you keep winning, then acting pleasantly surprised when they thank you for it. By the end, you will not merely seem humble. You will be the kind of humble that gets invited back, deferred to, and described as “shockingly down to earth” by people who cannot quite explain what just happened. 
Read it quickly. Apply it casually. Deny everything naturally.
