  What if running in beautiful places was paradoxically contributing to the destruction of those precious environments and causing irreversible global harm to people and animals too?
   
  In We Can’t Run Away From This, ultrarunner Damian Hall examines the impact of running in our climate and ecological emergency. Packed with insights from experts, it is an enlightening read which will prompt us all to really think about our kit, food and travel, and to identify simple changes we can make to our running and wider lives. But Damian also asks if concentrating on our individual footprints (pun unintended) is really the answer.
   
  We can’t run away from this any more, and this book will give every runner ideas about how to live and exercise more sustainably.

  Your Data Their Wealth - The...

  AI did not appear from nowhere. It was built from human language, human behavior, human culture, human correction, and human life made legible to machines. 
  In Your Data, Their Wealth, James Felton Keith argues that the modern economy has been fundamentally misdescribed. We still talk as though value comes mainly from labor, capital, and innovation in their familiar forms. But the age of AI has exposed something larger: ordinary people are generating economically useful informational value every day, and firms are capturing that value under ownership terms that leave the public with little claim on the upside. 
  This is not just a book about privacy or technology. It is a book about political economy. It asks what happens when human beings become part of the productive base of intelligent systems while remaining structurally excluded from ownership of the gains. It challenges the language of the “user,” traces how law and economics helped normalize this arrangement, and argues for a new framework of claim, bargaining, and stakeholdership in the AI economy. 
  Provocative, timely, and structurally ambitious, this book insists on a simple truth: if the machine is built from us, the future cannot belong only to those who own the machine.

  Increasing irrigation efficiency has been high on the political agenda in Spain for many years. However, the overarching aim to reduce agricultural water consumption has not been met so far. To explore this phenomenon, Nora Schütze investigates processes of coordination between the water and agricultural sector in three Spanish river basins in the context of the EU Water Framework Directive implementation. From the perspective of polycentric governance, she identifies multiple mechanisms which illustrate how and why actors interact in certain ways, and thus shows why environmental aims of the Water Framework Directive remain unachieved.

  Astronomer and science writer David Whitehouse takes us on a journey through the evolving cosmos as he considers humankind's place in the universe - and how our survival depends on otherworldly perspectives.
  
  From the Earth to the depths of outer space, this inspiring book shows how human evolution has been intertwined with the workings of the cosmos from the very beginning, and what the far-distant future may hold, both for the universe and for ourselves.
  
  Given enough time, Whitehouse contends, we must communicate with intelligent aliens whose divergent perspective will transform our understanding of the universe. First contact may even come sooner than we think. We have already transmitted signals towards promising exoplanets. If, say, Gliese 581d harbours life, the return signal could reach us in 2051.
  
  Drawing the thread of human consciousness from the cave to the cosmos, the acclaimed author of Apollo 11: The Inside Story charts our future journey to the end of space and time and considers whether something of humanity could remain at the end of it all.

  Windswept: Life Nature and Deep...

  ‘Windswept is a wonderful work, prose painted in bold, bright strokes like a Scottish Colourist's canvas’ ROBERT MACFARLANE 
  ‘An instant classic of British nature-writing’ SUNDAY TELEGRAPH 
  A few years ago, Annie Worsley traded a busy life in academia to take on a small-holding or croft on the west coast of Scotland. It is a land ruled by great elemental forces – light, wind and water – that hold sway over how land forms, where the sea sits and what grows. Windswept explores what it means to live in this rugged, awe-inspiring place of unquenchable spirit and wild weather. 
  Walk with Annie as she lays quartz stones in the river to reflect the moonlight and attract salmon, as she watches otters play tag across the beach, as she is awoken by the feral bellowing of stags. Travel back in time to the epic story of how Scotland’s valleys were carved by glaciers, rivers scythed paths through mountains, how the earliest people found a way of life in the Highlands – and how she then found a home there millennia later. 
  With stunning imagery and lyrical prose, Windswept evokes a place where nature reigns supreme and humans must learn to adapt. It is her paean to a beloved place, one richer with colour, sound and life than perhaps anywhere else in the UK. 
  Annie Worsley's Windswept is a top-tier memoir that intertwines personal narratives with the history of Britain's ecosystems. Her commitment to environmental conservation and habitat protection is evident throughout, making this autobiography a must-read for those interested in European non-fiction. 
  For fans of Allyson Shaw (Ashes and Stones), Raynor Winn (Landlines), Robin Wall Kimmerer (The Democracy of Species), Chloe Dalton (Raising Hare), and Suleika Jaouad (Between Two Kingdoms).
