Elsewhere, of course, in Africa, but also in the West, right here. Depletion of fossil fuels and minerals, climate change, shrinking arable land, the agony of soils, scarcity of fresh water, depopulation of the oceans, overpopulation, the crisis in agriculture: these are all factors leading to hunger and its dramatic consequences. Decades of reckless expansion now leave us only a tiny strait to avoid collapse and emerge from the fossil age without irreparable damage. Hugues Stoeckel convinces us, without complacency and with many examples, of the reality of the peril, the better to show us the glimmer of hope.—ABOUT THE AUTHORHugues Stoeckel has been a militant ecologist since the 1970s (member of the Greens, Attac and Alsace Nature). A former Alsace regional councillor (1992–2004), he is a local councillor in his village in the Northern Vosges. Yves Cochet is a researcher and mathematician.

Established companies still dominate most markets, but despite massive efforts and millions of dollars, they can't seem to achieve the same kinds of foundational breakthroughs. The problem, say Tony Davila and Marc Epstein, is that the very processes and structures responsible for established companies' enduring success prevent them from developing breakthroughs. This is the innovation paradox.Using examples from both scrappy startups and long–term innovators such as IBM, 3M, Apple, and Google, Davila and Epstein explain how corporate culture, leadership style, strategy, incentives, and management systems can be structured to encourage breakthroughs. Then they bring it all together in a new model called the Startup Corporation, which combines the philosophy of the startup with the experience, resources, and network of an established company.Breakthrough innovation no longer has to be the nearly exclusive province of the new kids on the block. With Davila and Epstein's assistance, any company can develop paradigm–shifting products and services and maximize the ROI on its R&D.—AUDIOBOOK DETAILSPurchase on Google Play Books ►► https://g.co/booksYT/AQAAAEDKngHe2MLanguage: EnglishPublisher: Gildan MediaPublished on: April 1, 2025ISBN: 9781663751461Duration: 6 hr, 39 minGenres: Business & Economics / Decision-Making & Problem Solving, Business & Economics / Marketing / Research

We all know the feeling of digital exhaustion. The aimless scrolling, eyes glazing over at the screen. The feeling that no matter how many messages we respond to, how many posts we read, or how much data we sort through, we can never stay ahead of it.Digital Exhaustion shows us how we can reimagine our relationship with our digital tools.Digital transformation expert and Professor, Paul Leonardi, argues that our exhaustion comes from the “exhaustion triad;” that is, the way that our tools change how we pay attention, how we attribute behaviours and intentions to others, and how we experience our emotions.By creating new habits around our use of technologies, we can set up boundaries so they stop depleting us so quickly. Follow these eight rules to regain control of your life: Rule #1: Stop Using Half Your Tools. Rule #2: Make a Match. Rule #3: Batch and Stream. Rule #4: Wait. One Hour. One Day. One Week. Rule #5: Don’t Assume. Rule #6: Always Be Intentional. Rule #7: Learn to See Around Corners. Rule #8: Be Here, Not There. Discover the life–changing guide to using your digital devices in surprising new ways to help you beat exhaustion and find new sources of energy.‘A practical game plan for pushing back.

Discover book recommendations personalized just for you.Get the iOS app: https://goo.gle/books-iosGet the Android app: https://goo.gle/books-android—BOOK DESCRIPTIONIt was George Orwell's early writing that helped shape his worldview and writing style. Here we focus on his works "The Spike" and "A Hanging," and his time as a police officer in Burma. Orwell's first published work was an essay titled "The Spike," which appeared in 1931. The essay is a vivid and harrowing account of his time spent in a homeless shelter in London. Orwell, who was struggling financially at the time, chose to experience a homeless shelter firsthand, and his account is an indictment of the dehumanizing conditions he encountered. In "The Spike," Orwell describes the brutal reality of life in the shelter, where men were treated like animals and forced to endure hunger, cold, and violence. "Shooting An Elephant" is too tragically eye–opening.This would later inform his political views and writing, particularly his belief in the importance of social justice and his struggle against oppression. In his essay "How the Poor Die," Orwell describes his observations of the poor and their struggle with illness and death. He portrays a society where the poor are neglected and left to suffer in silence and without dignity. This essay is another example of Orwell's commitment to social justice and his belief in the importance of empathy and compassion. In 1931, Orwell joined the Indian Imperial Police in Burma, where he served for five years. There he witnessed the brutal realities of colonialism and oppression. In his essay A Hanging," (1931), Orwell recounts the experience of attending the execution of a prisoner. Orwell describes the prisoner's final moments with empathy and his account of the execution is a moving critique of the dehumanizing effects of state–sanctioned violence.Orwell's experiences with poverty oppression and violence informed his later political and social beliefsAs read by Emmy–nominated actor Geoffrey Giuliano. With a full biography of Orwell and selected quotations.—ABOUT THE AUTHORGeorge Orwell was born Eric Arthur Blair on June 25, 1903 in Motihari in Bengal, India and later studied at Eton College for four years. He was an assistant superintendent with the Indian Imperial Police in Burma. He left that position after five years and moved to Paris, where he wrote his first two books: Burmese Days and Down and Out in Paris and London. He then moved to Spain to write but decided to join the United Workers Marxist Party Militia. After being decidedly opposed to communism, he served in the British Home Guard and with the Indian Service of the BBC during World War II. After the war, he wrote for the Observer and was literary editor for the Tribune. His best known works are Animal Farm and 1984. His other works include A Clergyman's Daughter, Keep the Aspidistra Flying, The Road to Wigan Pier, Homage to Catalonia, and Coming Up for Air. He died on January 21, 1950 at the age of 46.—AUDIOBOOK DETAILSPurchase on Google Play Books ►► https://g.co/booksYT/AQAAAEBiaEIoMMLanguage: EnglishPublisher: Author's RepublicPublished on: June 22, 2023ISBN: 9798887678467Duration: 3 hr, 54 minGenres: Fiction / Classics, Fiction / Dystopian, Fiction / General

Incredible' SUNDAY TIMES'A revelatory, moving and tender tale of hopes, fears and change' PETER FRANKOPAN Yuan Yang, the first Chinese–born British MP, tells the stories of four Chinese women striving for a better future in an unequal society. From June, who dreams of going to university rather than raising pigs, to Sam, forced into hiding as her activist peers are lifted from the streets, this is a singularly immersive portrait of a rapidly changing nation – and of the courage of those caught in the swell.—ABOUT THE AUTHORYuan Yang was born in 1990 in China, where she lived with her grandparents for four years before her parents brought her to the UK. She returned to China as an adult, posted there as a correspondent for the Financial Times; after the mass expulsion of journalists from China in 2020, she was one of the few journalists writing in English left in the country.

As the daughter of Aussie Rules legend and Hall of Famer Greg Phillips, Erin's first sporting love was Australian Rules football, but at 13 years old she was forced to give up the sport she loved because there was no further pathway for girls to play the game. Then, in 2017, Erin's lifelong dream of playing professional football finally came true when she was invited to join the inaugural AFLW competition. She was named co–captain of the Adelaide Crows and went on to win three premierships in six seasons before moving to Port Adelaide as their inaugural captain. The newly formed women's league changed the Australian sport industry forever, and Erin Phillips was the face of that change, leading by example and gaining the support of the nation throughout her impressive career. Beyond the field and court, Erin reveals the challenges she has faced from all sides, from dealing with body–image issues to discovering her sexuality, and starting a family with the love of her life.—ABOUT THE AUTHORErin Phillips is a marquee player and co–captain of the Adelaide Crows AFLW team. In the inaugural AFLW season and again in 2019, Erin remarkably led the Crows to premiership glory, won best on ground at the grand final, captained the All Australian squad, and won both the Players’ Association MVP and the league best and fairest (she missed a lot of the 2018 season due to injury). Her 2019 grand final best on ground win was particularly impressive as she was on the ground for less than three quarters of the game due to an ACL injury. Her stats show that she is not only undoubtedly the best AFLW of all times, but she also might be one of the best AFL players of all times. As the daughter of SANFL and VFL legend Greg Phillips, Australian rules football was Erin’s first sporting love, but it wasn’t her first sporting career. After being told she had to give up footy, Erin instead played basketball. She attended the AIS and played in the WNBL and WNBA, winning a number of awards and…—AUDIOBOOK DETAILSPurchase on Google Play Books ►► https://g.co/booksYT/AQAAAEAqQQ4BNMLanguage: EnglishPublisher: BolindaPublished on: October 1, 2025ISBN: 9781038036254Duration: 7 hr, 21 minGenres: Biography & Autobiography / General, Juvenile Nonfiction / Biography & Autobiography / Art, Sports & Recreation / General

How did they get there? Why did they carve the island’s colossal iconic statues – and how? What happened to the civilisation they created?These are just a few of the questions about Easter Island, or Rapa Nui, that have puzzled generations.Europeans first encountered the Islanders in the early eighteenth century, bringing back astonishing tales from one of the most remote inhabited places on Earth. They told fantastic stories of lost continents, cannibalism, giants and aliens. Thor Heyerdahl claimed that the island was discovered by pale–skinned sailors from South America, ignoring the rightful claims of the greatest explorers the world has ever known. Recently, the idea that Islanders cut down all the trees, causing mass starvation and social collapse, has been espoused by scientists, broadcasters and politicians. Now, in archaeologist Mike Pitts’s superb investigation, Island at the Edge of the World, he provides authoritative new insights into what really happened.Using the latest scientific and archaeological research, plus a huge range of historical accounts, Pitts builds a fascinating new portrait of the Islanders’ story. In particular, Pitts revives the life work of Katherine Routledge, who spent sixteen months on the island in 1914–15, surviving revolution and war, assembling a priceless but largely ignored archive of excavations and interviews – and whose legacy reveals the rapacious interference that spawned generations of false histories. Many questions still remain, but this is the most compelling and comprehensive account yet published of the extraordinary story of Easter Island.—ABOUT THE AUTHORMike Pitts is an archaeologist, journalist and author of multiple books on archaeology. He has written for The Times, Telegraph, Sunday Times, Observer and Guardian, and many magazines including New Scientist and BBC History. He edited British Archaeology magazine for twenty years and continues to conduct original archaeological research which has been published in several peer–reviewed journals.

What we have here is a truly encyclopaedic and monumental account of the ancient world' THE TIMES'A work of great confidence, empathy, learning and imagination' RORY STEWART'Bold, beautifully written and filled with insights . . . Extraordinary' PETER FRANKOPAN'One of the most fascinating and important works of global history to appear for many years' WILLIAM DALRYMPLEThe West, the story goes, was built on the ideas and values of Ancient Greece and Rome, which disappeared from Europe during the Dark Ages and were then rediscovered by the Renaissance. But what if that isn’t true?In a bold and magisterial work of immense scope, Josephine Quinn argues that the real story of the West is much bigger than this established paradigm leads us to believe. So much of our shared history has been lost, drowned out by the concept – developed in the Victorian era – of separate ‘civilisations’.Moving from the Bronze Age to the Age of Exploration, How the World Made the West reveals a new narrative: one that traces the millennia of global encounters and exchange that built what is now called the West, as societies met, tangled and sometimes grew apart. From the creation of the alphabet by Levantine workers in Egypt, who in a foreign land were prompted to write things down in their own language for the first time, to the arrival of Indian numbers in Europe via the Arab world, Quinn makes the case that understanding societies in isolation is both out–of–date and wrong. It is contact and connections, rather than solitary civilisations, that drive historical change. It is not peoples that make history – people do.—ABOUT THE AUTHORJosephine Quinn is Professor of Ancient History at the University of Cambridge, the first woman to hold this Chair. She has degrees from Oxford and the University of California, Berkeley, has taught in America, Italy and at Oxford, and co–directed the Tunisian–British archaeological excavations at Utica.

"The Spiritual Anarchist: Breaking the Chains of Consensual Delusion" is not just a book–it is a rebellion against the confines of conventional wisdom and a clarion call to awaken the divine spark within you. In a world where dogma reigns supreme and conformity is the norm, this groundbreaking work dares to ask the questions others are afraid to ask. Drawing from a wellspring of personal experience and profound insight, you are invited to challenge the very foundations of your beliefs and peer beyond the veil of consensus reality. As you delve into these pages, prepare to confront uncomfortable truths and challenge the mental prisons that have long held you captive. You'll discover why organized religion often falls short of true spiritual enlightenment, why academic institutions can perpetuate intellectual stagnation, and how societal expectations can stifle your innate potential. But this is not just a critique of the status quo. It is a roadmap to personal liberation and cosmic understanding. Through a blend of raw honesty, penetrating analysis, and transformative wisdom, you'll learn to – Cultivate a direct connection to universal truths that transcend religious and scientific dogma. – Identify and break free from the self–imposed limitations that keep you trapped in mediocrity. – Embrace your unique path of spiritual growth, even if it puts you at odds with society. – Tap into the source of inner wisdom that lies dormant within you. – Navigate the complex landscape of human relationships and personal growth with authenticity and purpose. Spiritual Anarchist is not for the faint of heart or those satisfied with superficial spirituality. It is for the seekers, the rebels, the visionaries who sense that there is more to existence than what meets the eye. It is for those brave enough to dance on the edge of sanity, question everything, and emerge reborn. But be warned: this book may challenge your most deeply held beliefs, provoke intense self–reflection, and catalyze profound personal transformation. For those willing to break the chains of consensual delusion and step into their full power as co–creators of reality, the rewards are immeasurable. Are you ready to become a Spiritual Anarchist?

Amongst a heady mix of royalty, rock legends and renegades, her story is one of resilience.In Someone Like Me Penny tells her full story for the first time, with a natural empathy and humour that she hopes will help others on their own life journey. She shares her wisdom from hard–earned lessons, showing that the key to navigating both storms and sunshine is staying true to you.—ABOUT THE AUTHORPenny Lancaster attended her local theatre school, enrolled on a modelling course at the London College of Fashion and went on to enjoy a successful modelling career for over 15 years, during which time she qualified as an aerobics teacher.

But how would you describe it? By the number of broken bones or stitches? By the cause – the crowning baby, the sharp knife, the straying lover? What does a 7 on a pain scale of 1 to 10 really mean? Pain is complicated. But most of the time, the way we treat pain is superficial – we seek out states of perfect painlessness by avoiding it at all costs, or suppressing it, usually with drugs. This has left us hurting all the more. Through in–depth interviews, investigation into the history of pain and original research, Ouch! paints a new picture of pain as a complex and multi–layered phenomenon. Authors Margee Kerr and Linda McRobbie Rodriguez tell the stories of sufferers and survivors, courageous kids and their brave parents, athletes and artists, people who find healing and pleasure in pain, and scientists pushing the boundaries of pain research, to challenge the notion that all pain is bad and harmful. They reveal why who defines pain matters and how history, science, and culture shape how we experience pain. Ouch! dismantles prevailing assumptions about pain and that not all pain is bad, not all pain should be avoided, and, in the right context, pain can even feel good. To build a healthier relationship with pain, we must understand how it works, how it is expressed and how we communicate and think about it. Once we understand how pain is made, we can remake it.—ABOUT THE AUTHORMargee Kerr is a sociologist who received her PhD from the University of Pittsburgh and has been teaching and conducting research since 2004. Her writing has appeared in the New York Times, Slate, Salon, and the New York Post and her first book, Scream: Chilling Adventures in the Science of Fear, was published in 2015.

USS Princeton (CVL–23) started life as the light cruiser Tallahassee before being converted while still under construction into a light carrier as part of the plan to ramp up the strength of US naval air power. The vessel joined the Pacific Fleet in August 1943 and was immediately put to work as the United States was assembling new ships and crews for the bitter struggle to come. Princeton played a key role in conducting multiple strikes against the Japanese bastion at Rabaul, and then joined Task Force 58/38 – the Fast Carrier Task Force – for the Central Pacific campaign, culminating in the invasion of the Philippines, where the ship was lost. David R. Leick skillfully uses first–hand accounts to examine the engagements, aircraft, tactics, command decisions and life on board during the Pacific campaign against Japan from early 1943 until Princeton’s tragic demise in October 1944. He focuses closely on the ship’s crew and embarked Naval Aviators, describing in detail the toll that prolonged combat operations took on the frontline sailor.—ABOUT THE AUTHORDavid R. Leick served in the US Marine Corps before attending California State University, Chico, where he earned a master’s degree and subsequently went into teaching. In 2005, he stepped away from the classroom to work as a security contractor in Afghanistan on the Ambassador’s Protective Detail before working more generally for the Worldwide Protective Service as a training manager.

The more 'expert' advice we hear about diet, the less clarity we have about what to eat.In Food Intelligence, award–winning health journalist, Julia Belluz, and internationally renowned nutrition and metabolism scientist, Kevin Hall, cut through the myths about nutrition to deliver a comprehensive book on food, diet, metabolism and healthy eating.Breaking food down into its constituent parts, they reveal the science behind how protein, fat, carbs and vitamins impact our bodies.

A time when the only way to see what was happening around the world was to catch the latest newsreel at the movies.Times have changed. Now we’re inundated. The news is no longer confined to a radio in the living room, or to a nightly half–hour timeslot on the television. Pundits pontificate on news networks 24 hours a day. We carry the news with us, getting instant alerts about events around the globe. Yet despite this unprecedented abundance of information, it seems increasingly difficult to know what’s true and what’s not.In Bad News, Rob Brotherton delves into the psychology of news, reviewing how the latest research can help navigate this supposedly post–truth world. Which buzzwords describe psychological reality, and which are empty sound bites? How much of this news is unprecedented, and how much is business as usual? Are we doomed to fall for fake news, or is fake news ... fake news?There has been considerable psychological research into the fundamental questions underlying this phenomenon. How do we form our beliefs, and why do we end up believing things that are wrong? How much information can we possibly process, and what is the internet doing to our attention spans? Ultimately this book answers one of the greatest questions of the age: how can we all be smarter consumers of news?—ABOUT THE AUTHORRob Brotherton is an academic psychologist and science writer who likes to walk on the weird side of psychology. His first book, Suspicious Minds: Why We Believe Conspiracy Theories, was published by Bloomsbury Sigma in 2015 and was shortlisted for a British Psychological Society Book Award and a Phi Beta Kappa Book Award. Rob completed a PhD on the psychology of conspiracy theories at Goldsmiths, University of London, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council.

It would take another two hundred years for the cause of the Great Plague of London to be confirmed: a powerful bacterium called Yersinia pestis. In those centuries, our understanding of diseases was transformed. In So Very Small, Thomas Levenson reveals how human hubris led us to overestimate our own ability and underestimate the threat that microorganisms truly pose. He journeys through some of the most significant epidemics and pandemics in history, including the recurrent outbreaks of cholera in Europe and Asia, and the1721 Boston smallpox epidemic.The turning point came in the nineteenth century with the development of germ theory: the concept that microbes can cause disease. Levenson shows how, in the years that followed, scientists made major breakthroughs in our ongoing struggle against infectious disease.

While our European neighbours have continued to use these methods on their meat, fish and cheese for centuries, we seem to have lost the habit. But with the right guidance, anyone can preserve fresh produce, whether living on a country farm or in an urban flat – it doesn't have to take up a huge amount of space. The River Cottage ethos is all about knowing the whole story behind what you put on the table; and as Steven Lamb explains in this thorough, accessible guide, it's easy to take good–quality ingredients and turn them into something sensational. Curing & Smoking begins with a detailed breakdown of any kit you might need (from sharp knives to sausage stuffers, for the gadget–loving cook) and an explanation of the preservation process – this includes a section showing which products and cuts are most suitable for different methods of curing and smoking. The second part of the book is organised by preservation method, with an introduction to each one, and comprehensive guidance on how to do it. And for each method, there are, of course, many delicious recipes! These include chorizo Scotch eggs, salt beef, hot smoked mackerel, home–made gravadlax ... and your own dry–cured streaky bacon sizzling in the breakfast frying–pan.With an introduction by Hugh Fearnley–Whittingstall, this book is the go–to guide for anyone who wants to smoke, brine or air–dry their way to a happier kitchen.—ABOUT THE AUTHORSteven Lamb has been involved with River Cottage since the very beginning, hosting events, living at HQ as the resident smallholder, and appearing regularly in the TV series and online. Working closely with Hugh Fearnley–Whittingstall and head chef Gill Meller, he represents River Cottage in the UK and abroad.

'A work of towering importance that will undoubtedly change science and save lives, but it will also change the way you see yourself and the people around you' Chris van Tulleken, author of Ultra–Processed PeopleA ground–breaking investigation into how racism corrodes science and medicine – leading to worse treatment for everyone.What can you do when science and medicine are as biased as the society they treat? Black and Asian patients in the UK wait nearly a week longer for a cancer diagnosis and globally, people of colour are not only more likely to die while giving birth, they are also more likely to die while being born – or soon afterwards. In Systemic, science journalist Layal Liverpool unearths the shocking facts behind the health threat of racism, and when a scientific bias is this pronounced, it results in worse treatment for everyone. We are collectively more ill, medical research is held back and our potential for scientific discoveries is reduced.But there is hope for a cure – practical solutions that we can implement to heal our world. Individuals can learn to advocate for themselves and others with scientifically backed data in the face of structural prejudice. Governments can enact policies aimed at tackling systemic inequities on a national level. Drawing on years of research, interviews and cutting–edge data from across the world, Systemic is a clarion call for a healthier world for us all.'A groundbreaking, brilliantly argued book that debunks the myth that illness is the great equaliser' Siddhartha Mukherjee, Pulitzer Prize winning–author of The Emperor of All Maladies and The Song of the Cell‘Liverpool is a wonderful researcher and this shines through in her writing.

A meditation on life, love and the importance of nature' IRISH TIMESWhen they were in their twenties, Niall Williams and Christine Breen made the impulsive decision to leave New York City and move to Christine’s ancestral home in the town of Kiltumper in rural Ireland.

In 2019, with Christine in the final stages of recovery from cancer and the surrounding land threatened by the arrival of turbines, Niall and Christine decided to document a year – in words and Christine's drawings – of living in their garden and in their small corner of a rapidly changing world. Proceeding month by month through the year, this is the story of a garden in all its many splendours, and a couple who have made their life observing its wonders.—ABOUT THE AUTHORNiall Williams is the author of ten novels, including This Is Happiness, shortlisted for Best Novel in the Irish Book Awards and longlisted for the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction, and History of the Rain, longlisted for the Man Booker Prize.Christine Breen is the author of Her Name Is Rose and the co–author of four non–fiction books on country living in Ireland.They live in Kiltumper, County Clare, Ireland.—AUDIOBOOK DETAILSPurchase on Google Play Books ►► https://g.co/booksYT/AQAAAECqe0Y7_MLanguage: EnglishPublisher: Bloomsbury GB AudioPublished on: September 16, 2021ISBN: 9781526636881Duration: 9 hr, 39 minGenres: Biography & Autobiography / Personal Memoirs, Gardening / Essays & Narratives, Gardening / General, Nature / Regional, Science / Environmental Science, Social Science / Sociology / Rural
