Sinossi

Wave Cut explores the captivating world of wave-cut platforms, those intriguing coastal landforms that act as records of Earth's history. The book delves into the geological processes shaping these platforms, emphasizing the interplay between coastal erosion, sea-level changes, and the underlying geology. By studying these features, scientists gain insights into past sea levels and rates of coastal erosion, critical for understanding shoreline evolution. One intriguing aspect covered is how different rock types respond to wave action, influencing the platform's development.

 
The book begins by establishing a foundation in coastal geomorphology and wave dynamics, explaining how waves, armed with sediment, relentlessly erode coastlines. It then progresses through the key factors involved in platform formation, including wave action, sea-level fluctuations, and geological context.

 
Wave Cut differentiates itself by integrating field observations, laboratory experiments, and numerical modeling to provide a comprehensive understanding. The book's focus on wave-cut platforms offers valuable insights for coastal management and hazard assessment, providing a valuable resource for students, researchers, and policymakers alike.

Charles II - George II - Tea...

Gilbert Abbott À Beckett

Charles Featherstone gleefully narrates the uproarious finale of A’Beckett’s Comic History, skewering Britain’s glorious descent into chaos after Queen Anne. Witness thick-accented German kings fumbling through English, ministers auctioning the nation’s dignity, and England drowning in get-rich-quick scams – all while crinolines expanded and sense evaporated. 
meet George I, shuffling mistresses in and out of palace cupboards while dodging Jacobite assassins; his son George II, shrieking battlefield commands in mangled English (and reportedly dropping his trousers for "luck" mid-cavalry charge); and Britain’s "first" Prime Minister, Robert Walpole, who perfected bribery as statecraft with the immortal quip: "Every man has his price... and mine is remarkably low!" 
Witness the South Sea Bubble—a frenzy of greed that saw nobles and cobblers alike betting fortunes on "vapor and paperwork" until the economy imploded (though London’s wig-makers somehow thrived). Hold your breath as Bonnie Prince Charlie’s tartan-clad Jacobite rebels storm south in the ’45 Rising, only to collapse into farce when the prince reportedly fled a dessert fork "quivering in his pudding." And marvel at Britain’s global gambles: empires built on naval mutinies over rancid limes, colonial cash-grabs, and taxes on everything from windows to gin—all while Germanic kings gazed wistfully toward Saxony. 
Perfect for fans of Blackadder the Third and The Perfect for fans of Blackadder the Third and the screwball intrigue of The Favourite, this riotous finale proves Britain’s "Enlightenment" was really enlightened self-interest—a stumble toward greatness paved with blunders, bribes, and enough powdered wigs to choke a horse.

Whiskey Master Class - The...

Lew Bryson, Bill Lumsden

Over the past three decades, Lew Bryson has been one of the most influential voices in whiskey. In Whiskey Master Class, Lew shares everything he's learned on his journey through the worlds of bourbon, Scotch, rye, Japanese whiskey, and more (yes, there are tasty Canadian and Irish whiskeys!). In this book, you'll find: 
 
 
 
● An overview of the different types of whiskeys, including the rules and identities of each. He also includes information on craft whiskeys, which tend to be more creative and freewheeling than the styles made by traditional producers. 
 
 
 
● Exploration of the key whiskey ingredients, with a close look at the flavor contributions of malt, peat, corn, rye, wheat—even water matters. 
 
 
 
● Distillation for non-distillers and the beauty of barrels: Whiskey is both an art and a science, and what's in the glass is affected by things like pot stills vs. column stills, barrel char, and of course, time. 
 
  
 
● Numerous interviews with master distillers, still makers, and other artisans at the top of their field. 
 
 
 
● Tasting notes throughout so you can identify the whiskeys you might want to try next. 
 
 
 
You'll want to do the homework with whiskey as the subject!

Not For All the Tea in China

Chris Burrows

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
I was born in 1947 to a mother from Barnsley and a father from Essex. I have three great loves in my life: Barnsley FC, Yorkshire County Cricket Club and my wonderful wife. My wife is my rock; Yorkshire CCC are my summertime passion; the Super Reds break my heart year after year - but I wouldn't swap them for any other team in the world. I have tried to look at the world of business through the gaze of a mixture of reality, humour and, on occasions, sheer disbelief. Every word and every event documented is the absolute truth. If you enjoy reading this book half as much as I enjoyed writing it, then I will have achieved more than I could ever have hoped for.
