  "Essential reading for lovers of the Great outdoors" —Roger Cox, Scotsman magazine 
   
   
   
  Longlisted for the 2022 Highland Book Prize 
   
   
   
  In 2019, Jenna Watt took part in the stalking of a hind on the vast Highland estate of Corrour: part of an immersive attempt to understand the ideas that lie behind 'rewilding', and what it means emotionally and physically to participate in Scotland's deer cull. Piece by piece and chapter by chapter she unravels the story of that one day spent hunting the hind, interlaced with her discovery that her ancestors were deer stalkers, game keepers, and ghillies on a Highland estate, who once took part in increasingly controversial land practices like muirburn and species persecution. 
   
   
   
  This exploration leads her into the complex and often conflict-ridden world of the rewilding movement. 
   
   
   
  In the process, Jenna comes to better understand the meaning of 'wildness', the shifting baselines of 'rewilding', and, in a world beset by climate change and species extinction, how to cope, both as an individual and as a society, with the concept of ecological grief.

  Why this book? 
  In many ways, Haber is one of those Spanish verbs that really does not get the attention it deserves. It constantly surprises us just how misunderstood and misused it is.  
  Even though Haber often plays a secondary role in our sentence structures and one of its biggest jobs is to work as a ‘helper’ verb, you will discover that Haber, is by no means a ‘runner up’ verb!  
  Once you learn to manage and use it in a fluent and controlled manner, your Spanish will move ahead leaps and bounds. 
  About this book. 
  This book is designed to take you from the basic yet vital uses of Haber all the way through to what some might describe as the most complex Spanish sentences you can make. It includes:  
  ·        Clear and unambiguous explanations 
  ·        Step by step progress through the tenses 
  ·        Frequent tests to check your understanding 
  ·        Interesting expressions used with Haber 
  ·        The Spanish Subjunctive in all of its glory! 
  We promise you that, once you have completed all of the chapters, your understanding of Haber will find itself exactly where it needs to be!

  Complexity Thinking: Science in...

  Cornelis Pieter Pieters

  • 0

  Many scholars agree that we are currently living in post-ideological times, and that the role of religion and social ideology has become increasingly limited as a means to organise society. Some even talk of a 'post-truth' era, as truth itself has become suspect, and public debate has become infected with terms such as 'fake news' and 'alternative truths.' In fact, in many scientific areas the notions of truth, objectivity and fact are being questioned, and are often even considered instruments that aim to perpetuate relationships of power of elites. This book aims to take a position in these debates by looking at the often-implicit associations behind truth, objectivity, and fact. By taking a complexity-informed, dialectical approach, a more encompassing understanding of these concepts can be developed, that both respects the formidable achievements of science, while being sensitive to the critique that has been raised, most notably by postmodern thought.

  A History of War - From Ancient...

  A History of War explains the dark but compelling story of warfare, from its emergence in prehistoric tribal disputes, through great imperial and global wars, to present-day counterinsurgency and 'hybrid' conflicts. Two factors sit at the heart of this story: technology - including weapons, vehicle systems, vehicles and tactics. A History of War charts the rise of the army, explaining how primitive tribal war parties evolved through seasonal levies and feudal armies to professional standing armies and mass conscription forces, with formal organisational structures. 
   
  The narrative of A History of War is sewn together by the conflicts that have periodically reshaped history and created the roots of current conflict, from the crusades and two world wars to Cold War and the conflicts in the Middle East. The book provides summaries and insights into these disputes while recognising the human drama of conflict, with first-hand insight into the experience of combat.
