Rediscovering British Traction
Having enjoyed trainspotting as teenager, Nick Sanderson’s interest was reignited during the Covid-19 pandemic and armed with a new digital camera has flourished since then. Beginning with local freight in the Leeds area and then branching out further afield to popular freight hotspots such as Barnetby and Acton Bridge, here he offers a vivid pictorial celebration of British traction. The journey continues taking in a wide variety of locations across the network in England and Wales. Captured in many different liveries, a large number of classes of locomotive are illustrated from the reliable 08 shunter, through classic traction such as the Class 37s and 47s to modern locomotives such as the Class 68s and 88s, demonstrating the wide range that can still be found on the rail network today.This book offers a superb array of images that create a fascinating overview of current operations as well as documenting the author’s journey rediscovering British traction.

The book also covers the G4 Challenge vehicles and special editions, including the emergency vehicles and armoured derivatives. It also covers the US models, known as the LR3 and LR4.Including a wide range of colour photographs, this is an essential expert guide to two Discovery models that are widely regarded as some of the best SUVs in the world.
The Fullness of Time
'Fascinating and full of beauty' KATHERINE MAY, author of Wintering'Reminds us that we get to choose where we focus our attention between one dawn and the next' TRISTAN GOOLEY, author of How to Read a Tree'A quietly radical invitation to notice more, rush less and live deeper' DANIEL H. PINK, author of When'Immaculately researched and beautifully written' LARA MAIKLEM, author of MudlarkingA journey into the forgotten art of marking time through signs in the world around us – from the slow sliding of sunbeams to the wheeling of the stars. Past generations would tell time by shadows shrinking, the midday glow over a mountaintop, the crowing of the rooster in the darkness. They noticed the flowers that close at noon, sensed how the quality of light changes at dusk, and marked time at night by the motion of the stars. Today, in our clock-bound, screen-immersed world, most of us rely on machines to mark the hours. But what riches might we gain from reclaiming the forgotten art of sensing time by events in the living worl? oaming from ancient downland to city streets, The Fullness of Time is an adventure in search of those patterns that once shaped the rhythm of our days – and an invitation to discover the simple, sensory joys of truly paying attention.

Warming Up
Longlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year“There Couldn’t be a bolder, more forthright SOS for sport” The ObserverMadeleine Orr pulls the curtain back on climate change’s devastating impacts on sport, and offers a bold and optimistic way forward through an era of emergency. The world of sport has a new opponent: climate change. In recent years, a world championship marathon was held at midnight to avoid the blistering sun. Professional athletes needed oxygen tanks to play during wildfire season in California. Players collapsed and play was suspended amid the heat and bushfire smoke at the Australian Tennis open. Ski resorts in the Alps have turned into ghost towns. Golf courses are sinking into the sea. And then there’s the Qatar World Cup, among the greatest follies in sporting history, one that saw hundreds (perhaps thousands) of heat-induced deaths before a ball was even kicked. The threat climate change poses to sport is clear, but with billions of participants and fans around the world who rely on the sector for entertainment, jobs, fitness and health, this is one industry we can’t afford to lose. In this book, Madeleine Orr shows it doesn’t have to be this way. There are ways to mitigate, and perhaps counter, even the worst elements of climate change. A world-leading sport ecologist, Madeleine interviews athletes, coaches, politicians and thought-leaders to learn more about the inevitable consequences for this trillion-dollar industry. From the frontlines of climate change, Warming Up takes readers through a play-by-play of how global warming is already impacting sport, and how the sports world can fight back.
The New Eden
JC Niala grew up in the city of Nairobi - the only city with a national park in its borders. There she first encountered what life is like when a city is deeply intertwined with nature - and what happens when that relationship is in jeopardy.

Each encounter attests to the growing realisation that nature is abundant in our cities - and it is time to discover a new way of living.Combining memoir, social history, and cultural commentary, JC Niala celebrates city life and asks what we are missing by overlooking nature in the everyday - and, by doing so, offers a powerful vision of the future where we can all co-exist.

Blending natural history, folklore and memoir, Coulthard reveals twilight as a vital, liminal force: one that has inspired awe for millennia and still has the power to illuminate our daily lives.
