  A structural engineer examines the seven most basic building blocks of engineering that have shaped the modern world. 
   
   
   
  Some of engineering's mightiest achievements are small in scale, even hidden—and yet, without them, the complex machinery on which our modern world runs would not exist. In Nuts and Bolts, Roma Agrawal examines seven of these extraordinary elements: the nail, the wheel, the spring, the lens, the magnet, the string, and the pump. 
   
   
   
  From the physics behind both Roman nails and modern skyscrapers to rudimentary springs that inspired lithium batteries, Agrawal shows us how even the most sophisticated items are built on the foundations of these ancient and fundamental breakthroughs in engineering. Agrawal explores an array of intricate technologies—dishwashers, spacesuits, microscopes, suspension bridges, breast pumps—making surprising connections and explaining how they work. Along the way, she recounts the stories of remarkable scientists and engineers from all over the world, and reveals how engineering has fundamentally changed the way we live.

  A decade to save the planet. 
  That's the current call to arms. Targets are set, governments vow to do their bit and on a societal level we are encouraged to do ours by choosing to forego all things plastic. The question is whether this is the right decision or are we inadvertently at risk of doing more harm than good? Are there other factors in play needing equal consideration? 
  The book will follow the story of plastic, and to an extent rubber (known collectively as polymers), and all with an eye to the overarching theme of the environment. It will ask some challenging questions but also sets out to inform. It begins by building a picture. Just what exactly is a plastic, how did it gain such a dominant role in our lives? Are recent denouncements fully justified? 
  By better understanding plastics, a clearer opinion can be formed of their usefulness and their potential to alleviate serious environmental concerns.

  Hope for the future lies with a new generation of regenerative farmers. 
   
   
   
  Within a decade, nearly half of all American farmland will change hands as an older generation of farmers steps aside. In their place, a groundswell of new growers will face numerous challenges, including soil degradation, insufficient income, and investors devouring farmland at a staggering pace. These new farmers are embracing regenerative agriculture—the holistic approach to growing food that restores the soil and biodiversity—in the movement to reclaim our health and the planet's. But can their efforts help reverse an epidemic of diet-related disease, food inequality, and even climate change? 
   
   
   
  To answer that question and more, award-winning journalist Jennifer Grayson embedded herself in a groundbreaking farmer training program, then embarked on this investigative journey. The diverse array of farmers, graziers, and food activists whom she profiles here are working toward better, more sustainable foodways for all. From a one-acre market garden in Oregon to activists reviving food sovereignty in South Carolina, A Call to Farms tells the captivating story of these new agrarians finding hope and purpose in reconnecting to the land and striving to improve the future of American food.

  What if the animals around you were whispering messages meant just for you? 
  Have you ever wondered why a crow lingers on your path, why a squirrel catches your attention, or why a butterfly appears at just the right moment? What if these encounters aren't random — but quiet invitations to notice something you've been missing? 
  Querine van Grinsven is a wildlife photographer and animal science graduate who has spent her life listening to animals across six continents. In Hidden Messages of Everyday Animals, she reveals what 33 common animals may be trying to tell you — through their symbolism, their folklore, and the feelings they stir when they cross your path. 
  This is not a field guide. It's a companion for anyone who has ever felt that animals carry something deeper — a message, a mirror, or a gentle nudge toward a truth you already sense inside. 
  In this audiobook, you'll discover the symbolic and spiritual meaning of 33 everyday animals, gentle reflections and personal encounters, simple practices to help you slow down and honour the messages nature offers you every day, folklore and nature facts that bring each animal to life — from ravens and dragonflies to horses and foxes — and a bonus section on animal lookalikes so you can tell apart the messengers you meet. 
  Whether you are an animal lover, a seeker of spiritual signs, or simply someone who longs to reconnect with the quiet wisdom of the natural world, this listening experience will become your trusted companion. If you love Animal Speak by Ted Andrews or The Secret Language of Animals, you'll treasure this heartfelt addition to your life.
