  Wild Isles: The book of the BBC...

  This beautifully illustrated overview of the wildlife of the British Isles showcases the diversity of our plant and animal life. 
  Wild Isles is a celebration of the wildlife found on a relatively modest collection of islands positioned at a latitude so northerly to be unattractive to many animals and plants. Despite these unpromising foundations, the islands of Britain and Ireland, together with more than 6,000 lesser islets that make up our archipelago, contain some of the most diverse, beautiful and wildlife-rich landscapes and seas on our planet. 
  This book will explore the fascinating relationships within and between species who make their home on our beautiful isles. 
  Each chapter focuses on a particular kind of wild space. Britain and Ireland are dominated by a wide variety of grasslands from lowland water meadows to upland moors, and we will see how these human-shaped, semi-natural landscapes thrum with insect, bird and mammal life. Life requires water to flourish, and streams and rivers carry freshwater through our landscape, creating unique ecosystems and interrelations within and beside these waters, which are revealed in a third section. While Britain and Ireland’s woodlands are comparatively thin on the ground compared with most of continental Europe, we will see some of the forests and trees that remain are unusually ancient and, great repositories of life. Finally, of course, we are surrounded by sea, and our position on the continental shelf before it plunges into the depths of the Atlantic Ocean gives rise to an often overlooked plenty of marine life. A glorious richness divided into five breathtaking sections. 
  In Wild Isles, the latest Sunday Times bestselling book by Patrick Barkham, the beauty and diversity of nature in the British Isles are brought to life. Through stunning photography and engaging narrative, Barkham explores the various habitats and the intricate ecology that defines them. 
  For fans of Martin Stevens (Sensory Ecology, Behaviour, and Evolution), Jonnie Hughes (Earthshot), Josh Young (Expedition Deep Ocean), Matt Kaplan (The Science of Monsters), and Nigel Henbest (Philip's Stargazing 2024 Month-by-Month Guide to the Night Sky Britain & Ireland).

  A Fascinating Journey Through...

  Time is a fascinating subject and one which affects our lives in many ways.  
  This book covers a lot of aspects of the subject. 
  First, how did measurements of time like seconds, minutes, hours, and years develop? 
  Next, what is the history of timekeeping mechanisms from ancient water clocks, to mechanical mechanisms, atomic clocks, and much more. 
  Lastly, what are some of the stranger aspects or anomalies of time such as premonitions, how time and space work, and possible time travel stories. 
  And philosophical questions like: Does the future already exist? 
  I wanted this book to be a comprehensive volume on time and so included lots of different stories and understandings about time which indicate we may not fully understand it yet.

  Rivers, canals, and many glorious waterways are championed and admired at every opportunity. Sadly, not so the humble ditch, yet they are the all-important capillaries supplying the veins of our far more visual watercourses. 
  In no way a dry riverbed of hard facts, A Year in a Ditch is informative and a source of knowledge to anyone interested in exploring the delights and habitat created by ditches, many of which are absolutely vital to the success of some of the rarest flora and fauna. Whilst discussing the role of the ditch past, present, and future, it also flows full of relevant quirky notes and detail; old wives tales, quotations, and snippets of poetry. Within these minutes can be found something to fascinate and interest those involved in countryside management, the naturalist, environmentalist, rural explorer, aspiring country dweller—anyone, in fact, who would like to know more about the oft-neglected thousands of miles of ditches that wend their way unobtrusively through the British countryside.

  Mahaparbat - Ek Kahani Hamare...

  Amitav Ghosh, Naved Akbar

  The Hindi translation of The Living Mountain. 
  A new story from internationally renowned author Amitav Ghosh, Mahaparbat is a cautionary tale of how we have systematically exploited nature, leading to an environmental collapse. 
  Recounted as a dream, this is a fable about Mahaparbat, the Living Mountain; the indigenous valley dwellers who live and prosper in its shelter; the assault on the mountain for commercial benefit by the Anthropoi, humans whose sole aim is to reap the bounty of nature; and the disaster that unfolds as a result. 
  Mahaparbat is especially relevant today when we have been battling a pandemic and are facing a climate catastrophe: both of which are products of our insufficient understanding of mankind's relationship with nature, and our sustained appropriation and abuse of natural resources. This is a book of our times, for our times, and it will resonate strongly with readers of all ages.
