  The Curious History of the Heart...

  For much of recorded history, people considered the heart to be the most important organ in the body. In cultures around the world, the heart—not the brain—was believed to be the location of intelligence, memory, emotion, and the soul. Over time, views on the purpose of the heart have transformed. Modern medicine and science dismissed what was once the king of the organs as a mere blood pump subservient to the brain, yet the heart remains a potent symbol of love and health and an important part of our cultural iconography. 
   
   
   
  This book traces the evolution of our understanding of the heart from the dawn of civilization to the present. Vincent M. Figueredo—an accomplished cardiologist and expert on the history of the human heart—explores the role and significance of the heart in art, culture, religion, philosophy, and science across time and place. He examines how the heart really works, its many meanings in our emotional and daily lives, and what cutting-edge science is teaching us about this remarkable organ. Figueredo considers the science of heart disease, recent advancements in heart therapies, and what the future may hold. He highlights the emerging field of neurocardiology, which has found evidence of a "heart-brain connection" in mental and physical health, suggesting that ancient views hold more truth than moderns suspect.

  Uncommon Ground: Rethinking our...

  ‘A curious-minded and subtle intervention in the politics of the countryside’ Sunday Times 
  'Galbraith spent three years investigating the truth about rural Britain and how we treat it. Uncommon Ground is the brilliant result' Daily Telegraph 
  'Very funny. Acutely observed. An attempt to look beyond the usual clichés of country life' Observer 
  “Brilliant. This book is a sort of necessary clever trespass itself, on everyone’s notions about ‘our land’.”Country Life 
  "Filled with voices from people who don’t always make the headlines in the UK land access debate."Scotsman 
  The countryside is under increasing pressure and people, the science shows, need nature. Access to the countryside is essential for our health, our happiness and our future. But does nature need us? 
  In January 2023, the largest land access demonstration since the 1930s took place on a bright wintery morning on Dartmoor. The access movement demands that the countryside be thrown open. This, they argue, would help nature by giving the public the opportunity to hold farmers and wealthy landowners to account. 
  But would it really work for Britain’s growing population to spill out across the countryside, and is access quite as restricted as we are led to believe? 
  In Uncommon Ground, Patrick Galbraith takes us on an extraordinary tour of rural Britain, from the Hebrides to Devon, and from Anglo-Saxon England to the present day. To uncover the truth and fully understand our deep connection with the land, he meets farmers, Irish Travellers, politicians, salmon poachers, and the nation's most-hated landowners, as well as activists calling for a total abolition of the right to own land. 
  In his much-celebrated style, Galbraith works hard to listen to those who often don’t get listened to. This raking survey of our fast-changing country, reveals the essence of rural Britain's soul. Uncommon Ground argues that what matters is not greater access but how we engage with the land and demands that landowners give us more opportunities to do so, while also giving endangered wildlife the right to tranquility. 
  Galbraith's Uncommon Ground is a top pick in non-fiction, offering a deep dive into the science of agriculture and the sociology of rural Britain. The book explores the delicate balance between public access and environmental protection, examining the political policies that shape our interactions with the land and the ecosystems that inhabit it. 
  For fans of John Lewis-Stempel (England), Benedict Macdonald (Cornerstones), Lee Schofield (Wild Fell), Isabella Tree (Wilding), and Derek Gow (Birds, Beasts and Bedlam).
