  Seeing Green offers comedic and straightforward entrepreneurial strategies for getting to net-zero carbon dioxide emissions. Angel Lance, a successful CEO, farmer, and self-described “pro-climate impactor,” provides a playbook for anyone who wants business success and a future on earth. Lance shares tactics―like throwing corporate retreats on her regenerative Oklahoma farm―that simultaneously benefit companies and the environment. With stories of misadventures in rural America that even nonbelievers will find inspiring, Lance busts stereotypes about the typical “environmentalist” and proves that being green doesn’t have to mean deprivation, that sustainability and profitability can go hand-in-hand. Seeing Green empowers people and companies to ride the wave of the ecological economy with productive enthusiasm.

  More Than Just a Dog:...

  'A must-read for anyone who loves dogs.' – Rory Cellan-Jones 
  This book explores what every dog owner knows – that a dog is never just a dog.  
  They are our companions, best friends, members of the family and for some the most important part of our lives. 
  Our ability to make meaningful connections with other animal species and their ability to return the favour is, perhaps, never more beautiful than the bond we have with dogs. 
  Simon Wooler, trainer to Sophie from Romania, social media’s most famous fearful canine, unlocks the heart of the special relationship we have with dogs. 
  He explores how, over millennia, they have inveigled their way into our homes and hearts and evolved to live alongside us. Demystifying the science behind dog behaviour, he explains how they learn (and why they sometimes seem immune to our efforts to train them), how they communicate and what influences the powerful bond they form with their people. 
  Perfect for dog lovers – the essential guide to loving your canine companion.  
  ‘This book is a wonderful read. Full of insights, essential as well as practical advice on dogs.’ Niall Harbison 
  Drawing on ethology, zoology and the sciences, Wooler delivers a practical, personal non-fiction guide and reference that makes animal behaviour feel understandable for everyday life with pets. With a keen eye for nature and a gift for showing the small moments that matter, he reveals how thoughtful training can transform the way animals and people communicate. 
  For fans of Patricia B. Mcconnell (The Cautious Canine-How to Help Dogs Conquer Their Fears), Kevin Behan (Your Dog Is Your Mirror), Kim Brophey (Meet Your Dog), Markus Zusak (Three Wild Dogs), and Dr Sabrina Cohen-Hatton (The Heat of the Moment).

  Shortlisted for Debut Food Book of the Year at the Fortnum and Mason Food and Drink Awards 2024Guild of Food Writers 2024 Finalist, Food Book of the Year 
  ‘A lyrical, amiable and educational celebration of what may be our greatest achievement: the chippy.’ Stuart Maconie 
  Step inside and unwrap this deliciously entertaining look at Britain’s national dish. 
  There is a corner of every town and city in Britain where the air is tangy with vinegar and the scent of frying. Following the irresistible lure, Daniel Gray ponders the magic of chippies and the delights they have sprinkled among us for the last 150 years as he investigates the social – and sociable – history of fish and chips. 
  Travelling to chippies from Dundee to Devon via South Shields, Oldham, Bradford, Bethnal Green, the Rhondda Valley and more – Daniel Gray explores our fish-and-chip nation to show how chippies have helped emancipate women, promote equality for immigrants and shape local and national identity. 
  Whether you were raised eating scraps of Wolverhampton’s orange chips, London’s ‘wallies’ or Hull’s chip spice – even if you think you know whether tea, Vimto or dandelion and burdock is the best accompaniment – this mouth-watering book is as much about who we are as what we eat. 
  In this top non-fiction, Gray takes us on a regional journey through the ethnic corners of Britain, from English chippies to Scottish fry-ups, and Welsh delights. His narratives, as crisp as the chips he describes, serve as essays on cooking, culture, and identity. 
  For fans of Adam Hochschild (Homage To Catalonia), Nige Tassell (Searching for Dexys Midnight Runners), Jon Spurling (Get It On), Giles Tremlett (The International Brigades), and Jonathan Wilson (Kick and Run).

  Outline of Science Vol 1 The (Solo)

  J. Arthur Thomson

  In The Outline of Science, Thomson gives us a window into scientific thinking as it stood in 1922 on the big, the little, and the biological. With straightforward language intended for a general audience, this book covers astronomy from the Solar System to the Milky Way, the submicroscopic makeup of matter from protons and electrons, and the evolution of simple living beings into the varied fauna of the world today. Thomson cites many examples that would have been familiar to his readers of the day and notes where scientific understanding leaves off and conjecture begins. He clearly shows how the accumulation of observation and experiment stacked up to form the body of knowledge reported in the book. For even the scientifically well-versed, there will be interesting nuggets, for investigation into how the world came to be as it was, was both wide and deep.  
   
   To a modern listener, what was not known may be as interesting as what was. With the 100-inch Mt. Wilson reflector the largest telescope in the world, the existence of galaxies outside the Milky Way was suspected but not confirmed. Neutrons, soon to become important in the field of nuclear energy and atomic bombs, were as yet unguessed-at, yet the prospect of liberating the immense energy of the atom was already a keen interest. Although the famous Michaelson-Morley experiment had already been seen as disproof of an all-pervading "ether" which facilitated the flow of energy across empty space, scientists still retained ether as a place-holder for properties they could measure but not explain - an approach very similar to the "dark matter" of modern cosmology. 
   
   Regardless of your personal sentiments on Darwin's theory of evolution, Thomson provides well-chosen examples that illustrate why this theory arose. He examines not only the fossil record but the evidences present in modern living beings that the process of evolution is by no means finished, but ongoing.  
   
   Even at that time, Thomson worried over the future of energy sources. He contemplated the exhaustion of the coal fields and indeed, the eventual exhaustion of all usable energy in the universe, foreshadowing our concept of entropy.  
   
   This book has been consistently among the "Top 100 E-Books" published by Project Gutenberg.  
  Summary by Mark F. Smith.
