Essential reading＜/strong＞' ＜strong＞Marion Shoard＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞For centuries we’ve been sold a lie: that you need to own the land to care for it.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Just 1% of the population own half of England, and this tiny landowning elite like to present themselves as the rightful custodians of the countryside. They’re even paid billions of pounds of public money to be good stewards. But what happens when they just don’t care?＜/p＞ ＜p＞A small number of landowners have laid waste to some of our most treasured landscapes, leaving our forests bare, our rivers polluted, our moorlands burned, and our fenlands drained. Here Guy Shrubsole journeys all over Britain to expose the damage done to our land, and meet the communities fighting back: the river guardians, small farmers and trespassing activists restoring our lost wildlife. Full of rage and hope, this is a bold vision for our nation’s wild places, and how we can treat them with the awe and attention they deserve.＜/p＞ ＜p＞It’s time to demand better for nature. We can start by replacing the lie of the land with a profound truth: that any of us can care for the countryside, regardless of whether you own it.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
＜p＞Assertiveness is one of the most valuable skills anyone can cultivate, yet also one of the most challenging. After a lifetime of cultural conditioning toward compliance and conflict avoidance, embracing assertive communication requires transformative personal growth. It takes courage to find your voice after being silenced.＜/p＞ ＜p＞My aim in writing this book is to provide guidance and encouragement for that journey based on both professional expertise and personal experience. I spent over a decade passive and afraid to advocate for myself. People-pleasing and swallowing negative emotions took immense psychological effort - not to mention enabling others to take advantage of me.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Eventually I reached a breaking point and committed to change. Through researching assertiveness skills, practicing them even when uncomfortable, and immersing myself in personal development, I slowly transformed my communication tendencies. The more I asserted my boundaries, expressed my needs, and claimed my worth, the more empowered I felt. It significantly improved my confidence, relationships, and career.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Of course no one masters assertiveness overnight. It's a lifelong process, and I still stumble on occasion. But the overall trajectory has been transformative. My only regret is not embarking on the assertiveness journey sooner.＜/p＞ ＜p＞It is my hope this book will shorten your learning curve. The pages ahead provide actionable steps for building assertiveness tailored to your specific challenges and personality. You'll learn how to navigate difficult conversations, confront manipulative behavior, break lifelong passive habits, overcome self-doubt and much more.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
＜p＞＜strong＞A definitive account of the bright-eyed assassins of the British countryside.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Stoats, weasels, martens and polecats belong to the mustelid family, along with badgers and otters, and feral American mink, which are a recent addition to the UK countryside, following escapes and releases from fur farms.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This new volume in the New Naturalist Library focuses on the four ‘small mustelids’, all highly specialised predators, ubiquitous assassins to be marvelled at. There is a family likeness, the rather pointed snout, powerful jaws and sharp fangs and the long sinuous slender body with short legs. These small mustelids are also possessed of dense fur, which once led to their being hunted nearly to extinction. Some can kill prey larger than themselves, in some cases much larger, and they are uniquely adapted to hunt their rodent prey. They also have extraordinary lives ? some in total seclusion, some in large, related groups ? now brought into the light by one of the UK’s leading small mustelid experts.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Dr Jenny MacPherson, who managed the Pine Marten Recovery Project for England and Wales, introduces readers to Britain’s small mustelid species in delightfully rich text, covering the animals’ physiology, daily lives and distribution, as well as their significance in UK history and folklore. And she shares her experiences from the forefront of the work to conserve these amazing animals.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞A psychologist confronts our pervasive misunderstanding of anxiety and presents a powerful new framework for reimagining and reclaiming the confounding emotion as the advantage it evolved to be.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞We are taught that anxiety is dangerous and damaging, and that the solution to its pain is to eradicate it like we do any disease. Yet cutting-edge therapies, hundreds of self-help books, and a panoply of medications have failed to keep debilitating anxiety at bay.＜/p＞ ＜p＞That's because the anxiety-as-disease story is false - and it's harming us.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this radical reinterpretation, Dr Tracy Dennis-Tiwary distils the latest research in psychology and neuroscience, combined with real-world stories and personal narrative, to argue that the discomfort of anxiety is a tool, rather than something to be stamped out at all costs. Detailing the terrible cost of our misunderstanding of anxiety, while celebrating the lives of people who harness it to their advantage, FUTURE TENSE reveals how we can live and grow with anxiety.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
＜p＞‘Focuses a razor light on the plight of one of our most iconic birds. Inspirational!’ Tim Birkhead＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Curlews are Britain’s largest wading bird, known for their evocative calls which embody wild places; they provoke a range of emotions that many have expressed in poetry, art and music.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞A bird stands alone on the edge of a mudflat. Its silhouette is unmistakable. A plump body sits atop stilty legs. The long neck arcs into a small head, which tapers further into a long curved bill. The smooth, convex outlines of this curlew are alluring. They touch some ancestral liking we all have for shapes that are round and smooth.＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Over the last 20 years numbers in the UK have halved; the Eurasian Curlew is one of our most endangered birds. With a quarter of the world population breeding in the UK and Ireland, this is nothing short of a disaster. The curlew is showing all the signs of being the next Great Auk.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞Curlew Moon＜/em＞, Mary Colwell takes us on a 500-mile journey on foot from the west coast of Ireland to the east coast of England, to discover what is happening to this beautiful and much-loved bird. She sets off in early spring when the birds are arriving on their breeding grounds, watches them nesting in the hills of Wales and walks through England when the young are hatching. She finishes her walk on the coast of Lincolnshire when the fledglings are trying out their wings. This is also the place many curlews will return to for the winter months.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This evocative book chronicles Colwell’s impressive journey, with beautiful illustrations by Jessica Holm, weaving a gentle tale of discovery interspersed with the natural history of this iconic bird that has fascinated us for millennia ? and so desperately needs our help.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
＜p＞How do British pavements remain free of dog mess? Why are paths not littered with cigarette butts or roads not lined with abandoned cars? What does the decline of the public lavatory say about us and is the national reputation for queuing still deserved today?＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Orderly Britain＜/em＞ takes a topical look at modern society, examining how it is governed and how it organises itself. It considers the rules of daily life, where they come from and why they exist. It asks whether citizens are generally compliant and uncomplaining or rebellious and defiant. This quirky social history takes a close look at shifting customs and practices, people's expectations of each other and how rule-makers seek to shape everyone's lives - even when ignoring some of those rules themselves.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Taking the reader on a journey that covers a range of topics - dog mess, smoking, drinking, parking, queuing, toilets - ＜em＞Orderly Britain＜/em＞ examines the rapidly changing patterns of everyday life, from post-war to present day, and concludes with an extended look at the unparalleled shifts in social routines that resulted from the global COVID-19 pandemic. Asking whether it is the proliferation of rules and regulations in the UK or something else that keeps people in line, authors Tim Newburn and Andrew Ward offer a unique insight into what creates orderly Britons.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Through twelve staggeringly compelling and beautifully crafted linked case studies, neurologist Pria Anand explores the myriad ways our brains both hide and reveal the world and ourselves from us. Taking inspiration from the legendary work of Oliver Sacks, Dr. Anand introduces us to some of her patients, exploring the fascinating continuum of neurological disorder she's treated and researched, from a fatal insomnia that curses a family over generations to an attack of encephalitis that convinces an overachieving perfect student that she's channeling the voice of the Holy Spirit. With a timely intervention on the existing canon of writing about the brain, Dr. Anand centres the experiences of women with neurologic illnesses, which are so often marginalized, and invites us to consider the vulnerability, complexity and power of our body's most mysterious organ.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Interwoven with these gripping stories, Dr. Anand chronicles her own experiences of stress, physicality, and exhaustion that pushed her brain to its limits throughout her journey from resident to doctor, as she navigated pregnancy, childbirth, and early motherhood along the way. This personal anchoring invites us to consider that, as Dr. Anand eloquently puts it, "there is a continuity between brains in extremis and the peculiarities of human brains even in the absence of disease, that neurologic symptoms are metonymic for the human experience in a way that extends far beyond the confines of particular rare diseases, and that the experience of neurologic disease-the mythologies it inspires, the fallacies it impels-is universal."＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY ＜em＞THE ECONOMIST, OBSERVER, NEW SCIENTIST, BBC FOCUS, INDEPENDENT＜/em＞ AND ＜em＞WASHINGTON POST＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞'A rollicking tour of the wildest physics. . . Like an animated discussion with your favourite quirky and brilliant professor' Leah Crane, ＜em＞New Scientist＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞'Weird science, explained beautifully' - John Scalzi＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞We know the universe had a beginning. But what happens at the end of the story?＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞With lively wit and wry humour, astrophysicist Katie Mack takes us on a mind-bending tour through each of the cosmos' possible finales: the Big Crunch, Heat Death, Vacuum Decay, the Big Rip and the Bounce. Guiding us through major concepts in quantum mechanics, cosmology, string theory and much more, she describes how small tweaks to our incomplete understanding of reality can result in starkly different futures. Our universe could collapse in upon itself, or rip itself apart, or even - in the next five minutes - succumb to an inescapable expanding bubble of doom.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This captivating story of cosmic escapism examines a mesmerizing yet unfamiliar physics landscape while sharing the excitement a leading astrophysicist feels when thinking about the universe and our place in it. Amid stellar explosions and bouncing universes, Mack shows that even though we puny humans have no chance of changing how it all ends, we can at least begin to understand it.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞The End of Everything＜/em＞ is a wildly fun, surprisingly upbeat ride to the farthest reaches of all that we know.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
＜p＞As a boy, Richard Kerridge loved to encounter wild creatures and catch them for his back-garden zoo. In a country without many large animals, newts caught his attention first of all, as the nearest he could get to the African wildlife he watched on television. There were Smooth Newts, mottled like the fighter planes in the comics he read, and the longed-for Great Crested Newt, with its huge golden eye.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The gardens of Richard and his reptile-crazed friends filled up with old bath tubs containing lizards, toads, Marsh Frogs, newts, Grass Snakes and, once, an Adder. Besides capturing them, he wanted to understand them. What might it ＜em＞be＜/em＞ like to be cold blooded, to sleep through the winter, to shed your skin and taste wafting chemicals on your tongue? Richard has continued to ask these questions during a lifetime of fascinated study.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Part natural-history guide to these animals, part passionate nature writing, and part personal story, ＜em＞Cold Blood＜/em＞ is an original and perceptive memoir about our relationship with nature. Through close observation, it shows how even the suburbs can seem wild when we get close to these thrilling, weird and uncanny animals.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
＜p＞How did the human brain evolve? Why did it evolve as it did? What is man’s place in evolution? In the final decades of the nineteenth century, these questions began to occupy scientists. With Darwin’s theory of evolution now accepted, modern neuroscience began.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Headhunters＜/em＞ traces the intellectual journey of four men who met at Cambridge in the 1890s and whose lives interlinked for the next three decades ? William Rivers, Grafton Elliot Smith, Charles Myers and William McDougall. It follows their voyages of discovery, taking the reader from anthropological field studies in Melanesia and archaeological excavations in Egypt to the psychiatric wards of the First World War. Their work ranged across fields that today carry a variety of labels ? neurology, psychology, psychiatry, zoology ? but which for these men formed part of the same enquiry: the search for a science of the mind.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A narrative-driven work of intellectual history and a compelling biographical study, ＜em＞Headhunters＜/em＞ explores the big ideas about the brain, the nervous system and man’s place in history. In the process the book reveals how science actually works ? the passions, the irrational flashes, the moments of insight; the big ideas that work ? and the big ideas that turn out to be wrong. Acclaimed historian Ben Shephard takes the reader on an extraordinary intellectual journey ? and arrives at some very modern destinations.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
＜p＞In our century, the subject of time has become an area of serious inquiry for science. Theories that contain time as a simple quantity form the basis of our understanding of many scientific disciplines, yet the debate rages on: why does there seem to be a direction to time, an arrow of time pointing from past to future?＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this authoritative and accessible ＜em＞Sunday Times＜/em＞ bestseller, physical chemist Dr Peter Coveney and award-winning science journalist Dr Roger Highfield demonstrate that the common sense view of time agrees with the most advanced scientific theory. Time does in fact move like an arrow, shooting forward into what is genuinely unknown, leaving the past immutably behind. The authors make their case by exploring three centuries of science, offering bold reinterpretations of Newton’s mechanics, Einstein’s special and general theories of relativity, quantum mechanics, and advancing the insights of chaos theory. In their voyage through science the authors link apparently irreconcilable subjects, from Einstein’s obsession with causality to chaos theory, from Marvell’s winged chariot to that Monday morning feeling.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Finally, drawing together the various interpretations of time, they describe a novel way to give it a sense of direction. And they call for a new fundamental theory to take account of the Arrow of Time.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Foreword by Ilya Prigogine, Nobel laureate.＜/em＞＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
