The Last Extinction
The story behind Dr. Gerta Keller’s world-shattering scientific discovery that dinosaur extinction was NOT caused by asteroid impact, but rather by volcanic eruptions on the Indian peninsula, a discovery that highlights today’s existential threat of greenhouse gasses and climate change—and one that sparked an all-out war waged by the scientific establishment. Part scientific detective story, part personal odyssey, The Last Extinction is the definitive account of a radical theory that has reshaped how we understand our planet’s past and, as we face the possibility of a sixth extinction, how we might survive its future. For decades, the dominant theory held that an asteroid impact caused the dinosaurs’ extinction. But Princeton Geologist Dr. Gerta Keller followed the evidence to the truth: Deccan volcanism, a series of massive volcanic eruptions in India, triggered a long-term climate catastrophe and Earth’s fifth mass extinction. Her findings upended the field and ignited a bitter feud in modern science—what became known as the “Dinosaur Wars.” Raised in poverty on a Swiss farm and told she could never be a scientist, Keller defied expectations, earning her PhD at Stanford and battling her way into the highest ranks of Geology, eventually becoming a Professor of Paleontology and Geology at Princeton University. Her refusal to back down in the face of ridicule, sabotage, and sexism makes her story as thrilling as her science, which offers urgent insight into today’s climate crisis: Sustained planetary upheaval—not a single cataclysmic event—can plunge the planet into an age of death.
The Team That History Forgot
While the Kansas City Chiefs are the NFL’s newest dynasty, winning three Super Bowls since 2020, most fans don’t recall the team’s earliest successful years before decades of futility. What about the underdog losers of that very first Super Bowl? When the Kansas City Chiefs played the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl I in 1967, they had only been in existence for seven seasons and were tasked with the monumental burden of representing the still-fledgling American Football League against the NFL’s team of the decade. The Chiefs won their first AFL Championship in 1962, as the Dallas Texans, when owner Lamar Hunt decided the Dallas market couldn’t support two pro football teams-it could barely support one. After just three seasons, the Texans relocated to Kansas City, where they became the Chiefs. Under future Hall-of-Famers Len Dawson, Buck Buchanan, and Johnny Robinson, they were the winningest AFL team and helped integrate pro football more than any other team in the 1960s. In The Team That History Forgot, Rick Gosselin explores the team’s struggles and triumphs in its early years, the competition created by the AFL in player signing wars, the recruitment of athletes from historically Black colleges and universities, the loss of the franchise identity with the move from Texas to Kansas City, the first Super Bowl and the humiliating loss against the Packers, and the moves the Chiefs made to recover from that loss and win Super Bowl IV, the last game before the two rival leagues finally merged in 1970. The early Chiefs set a bar for excellence that the team continues to pursue today.
Just Call Me 'Andi'
For readers of sports broadcasting tell-alls like Jay Onrait''s Anchorboy or James Duthie''s The Guy on the Left comes Andi Petrillo''s candid memoir: She explores the sexism she''s faced and the relationships she''s built, offering an underreported, crucial perspective on sports broadcasting from one of North America''s top female sportscasters. Petrillo''s story is both heartbreakingly honest and deeply insightful, providing a roadmap for future broadcasters navigating similar challenges so that female voices in sport are the norm, not the exception. When Andi Petrillo decided to pursue a career in sportscasting, a woman offering her opinion on sports was still a novelty. She was constantly being criticised, scrutinised, and sexualised, but her love for sports - and her determination to prove she deserved to be doing what she loved - propelled her into a successful and historic career. From becoming the first woman to be part of the Hockey Night in Canada in-studio broadcast, to being the first woman to host a daily sports radio talk show in Canada (Leafs Lunch on TSN), to being the first woman to win a Canadian Screen Award for Best Sports Host, she''s come to see her perseverance as inspiration for young women who now believe they too can achieve great things in sports broadcasting. Just Call Me ''Andi'' shares many of the obstacles Petrillo''s faced, as well as the incredible friendships she''s made, and the lessons she''s learned along the way. It also provides a behind-the-scenes look into the industry, explaining why editorial and broadcast decisions are often made and how the broadcasting world has evolved in the era of streaming and social media. Women have come a long way in sportscasting, but it may surprise people to learn about the pervasive sexism and the downright ridiculous requests that are still made of women that are not made of men... Petrillo''s story is both heartbreakingly honest and deeply insightful, providing a roadmap for future broadcasters navigating similar challenges so that female voices in sport are the norm, not the exception.
Coastal Seas
A beautifully illustrated exploration of the habitats, communities and species hidden just below the British seashore.The shoreline around the British Isles provides tantalising, twice-daily glimpses of the wonders in our seas, but reveals very little of the lives of the dazzlingly colourful fish, exotic-looking corals and thousands more creatures that are just out of sight. Marine biologists and lifelong divers Frances Dipper and Paul Naylor draw on their personal stories to build a vivid picture of the ocean on our doorstep – what lives there, why it’s important and what’s happening to it.Coastal Seas provides a window into the immensely varied and picturesque habitats beneath the waves, from kelp forests and reefs to seagrass meadows and the open water, as well as the fascinating behaviour and intricate relationships of the fish, cephalopods, invertebrates and other residents within them. The book explores the unique opportunities and challenges that come with living underwater (How do you stay afloat without being swept away? How do you find food and a mate if rooted to the spot?) and reflects on the state of our seas, and what we must do to conserve them.Illustrated with around 300 colour photographs, this latest addition to the British Wildlife Collection is a vibrant celebration of the richness and importance of our marine life.‘Easily the best book on the wonders to be found in Britain’s coastal seas.’ – Prof Callum Roberts

Mamba & Mambacita Forever
A beautiful and moving testament to the enduring life of Kobe Bryant and the Mamba Mentality.When Kobe and Gianna Bryant died, tragically and unexpectedly, in 2020, the world mourned with a wholehearted ferocity. In perhaps the largest and most intense outpouring of public art the world has ever seen, murals went up on seemingly every available wall in Los Angeles and around the globe. The paintings were both professional and amateur, some public and some private, many of them colossal. All of them expressed love and respect for Kobe and Gianna Bryant as athletes, as a father and daughter, as heroes who will not be forgotten.In Mamba & Mambacita Forever, Vanessa Bryant brings together the images and stories of more than a hundred murals honoring her husband and daughter. Taken together, what emerges is the story of a man who became even more than he himself could have imagined, an avatar of determination, discipline, and competitiveness. He was also a worldwide icon, one of the greatest athletes of our time, a man committed to his family and to fatherhood. Kobe was a figure of transformation and hope.Mamba & Mambacita Forever ensures that the legacy of Kobe and Gianna Bryant will live on even after the most monumental murals themselves have all crumbled.

40 Motoring Heroes
> How did an English pub inspire a legendary road safety feature?> Which F1 driver had to wear leg braces as a young boy in hospital, yet started his own winning team?> What prompted a young woman from Alabama to invent the windscreen wiper?> Who was the “bloody fool” from Yorkshire who master-minded the VW Beetle’s rise from the ashes of the Second World War?40 Motoring Heroes offers a fact-filled, illustrated insight into motoring history, not only for petrol heads and motoring enthusiasts, but anyone with a passion for fascinating people. The little-known men and women featured include inventors, innovators, engineers, financiers, and others at the sharp end of automotive and social history. Their stories shine a light on ingenuity, determination, fights against prejudice, and even bravery, self-sacrifice and destitution. Of course, being a motoring hero does not equate with sainthood or even likeability; a fair number of the book’s subjects demonstrated unpleasant human qualities but we acknowledge their professional achievements. Not all made fortunes out of their ideas, but their ideas added to the wealth of our enjoyment of motoring. Compelling, intriguing and full of surprise, the must-read biographies in 40 Motoring Heroes showcase the struggles, adversity and perseverance of these motoring marvels.

Have a Good Trip
From a much-loved expert and popular science writer comes this straight-from-the-trenches report on how and why folks from all walks of life are using magic mushrooms to enhance their lives.Interest in psychedelic mushrooms has never been greater ? or the science less definitive. Popular science writer and amateur mycologist Eugenia Bone reports on the state of psychedelics today, from microdosing to heroic trips, illustrating how ?citizen science? and anecdotal accounts of the mushrooms? benefits are leading the new wave of scientific inquiry into psilocybin. With her signature blend of first-person narrative and scientific rigor, Bone breaks down just how the complicated cocktail of psychoactive compounds is thought to interact with our brain chemistry. She explains how mindset and setting can impact a trip ? whether therapeutic, spiritual/mystical, or simply pleasure seeking ? and vividly evokes the personalities and protocols that populate the tripping scene, from the renegade ??Noccers? of Washington who merrily disperse magic mushroom spores around Seattle, to the indigenous curanderas who conduct traditional ceremonies in remote Mexican villages. Throughout she shares her journey through the world of mushrooms, cultivating her own stash, grappling with personal challenges, and offering the insights she gleaned from her experiences. For both seasoned trippers and the merely mushroom curious, Have a Good Trip offers a balanced, entertaining, and provocative look at this rapidly evolving cultural phenomenon.
Preserved Tramcars in Britain
The earliest tramcars were horse-drawn and originated during the Victorian era, a large portion of them eventually being replaced with electric vehicles (which themselves were phased out or replaced by trolleybuses). A number of these tramcars have been restored and preserved and continue to be run by museums all around the world, with a fairly significant number based in Britain. Several tramcar bodies were sold to farmers and other individuals when the systems they were running on closed down. These bodies were used for a variety of purposes – chicken houses, lambing pens and houses/holiday homes. A large number have since been recovered and restored and in many cases have been returned to their original condition and are running once again on heritage sites.Royston Morris’ vibrant images feature those tramcars that have been preserved (in one form or another) and can be seen across the country.
Steam Around the East Midlands in the 1960s
The 1960s saw the final hurrah of steam on the railways – the final period of steam-powered locomotives dominating the main line. This meant that a colourful array of traffic could be found across the length and breadth of Great Britain, and an army of enthusiasts both young and old dutifully recorded the nation’s rail scene. Here, in the first of a new series of book celebrating the steam of 1960s Britain, Keith W. Platt looks back at the wide range of traffic that could be found all around the railways of the East Midlands.Packed with previously unpublished images, this is a book that will delight anybody with memories of steam around the East Midlands or an enthusiasm for the area’s railways or history.

Ipswich Town
In 1960, Ipswich Town FC under manager Alf Ramsey started their season in the Second Division. At the end of the 1960-61 season Ipswich were promoted as champions immediately and went on to win the First Division in their first year in the top division. Ipswich Town had embarked on the most extraordinary two decades in its history. Alf Ramsey left soon after to become England manager and after a few years in the doldrums, the appointment of Bobby Robson as manager in 1969 inaugurated another period of greatness for the club. In 1973-4 Ipswich finished fourth in the league and reached and over the next eight years were to win the FA Cup, finishing only once below sixth in the league, and win the UEFA Cup. Throughout this era the club were guided by the local Cobbold family’s chairmanship. In 1982 Bobby Robson departed, to become England manager, and although the club has had some successes since then, nothing at Portman Road has rivalled the glory days of Ipswich Town from 1960 to 1982 - an era fondly remembered by fans of the club.
Airbus A350
The Airbus A350 is a two-engine, long-range, wide-body airliner, which was launched in 2006, partly in response to Boeing’s development of the 787 Dreamliner. It is available in three variants: A350-900, A350-900ULR and A350-1000. Over 70 per cent of the airframe is constructed from composite materials of carbon, titanium and aluminium alloys leading to a light structure which, when combined with the latest generation Rolls-Royce XWB turbofans, has resulted in an aircraft with 25 per cent lower operating costs and a significant reduction in fuel burn and carbon-dioxide emissions. The A350-900 first flew in June 2013 and entered service less than two years later. The stretched A350-1000 made its maiden flight in November 2016 and began commercial flights in February 2018. The A350 provides airlines with flexibility and versatility in the range/payload combinations that it offers and by September 2013, almost 1,000 aircraft had been ordered. In celebration of the aircraft’s tenth anniversary in commercial service, Nigel Richardson describes the evolution, design and development of the A350 through to its entry into service with several major airlines and how it may further evolve in the future with high-quality illustrations and technical information.
