Humans


Humans - who are we? Physically, Homo sapiens is unremarkable in the animal world - a hairless ape. But somehow, in combination, our characteristics make us remarkable. With our dexterity and brain power, we discovered ways of finding food and beating the elements not only in our home on the African savanna, but in every habitat from jungle to Arctic waste. Humans tells the story of our evolution with beautiful illustrations of our seemingly ordinary anatomy alongside colourful, mind-expanding graphics of what we have achieved with it. This book is: shaped and guided by broadcaster and expert in anatomy and archaeology, Professor Alice Roberts written by an international team of experts in many fields of human evolution, including archaeology, palaeontology, anthropology, and cognitive science built from chapters about the evolution of different parts of the body, giving an instant, familiar way in to the topic This thought-provoking book presents the latest advances in understanding human evolution, challenging old myths and baked-in misconceptions - all through the lens of the human body. Each chapter tackles a different body part, showing how it has evolved and the role it has played. The story of hands, for instance, begins with the first animals with limbs, which clambered onto land 375 million years ago, but goes on to show how humans use the unique precision and power in their grasping digits - and their ability to teach one another skills - to create ever-more sophisticated technology. Visually vibrant and rich, this book features not only beautiful illustrations, but also photos of prehistoric art, tools, jewellery, and recreations of all of these made by experimental archaeologists. Humans asks intriguing universal questions about our origins and nature. When did we invent clothes? Did we always form pair bonds? How did prehistoric people cross the ocean? Are we the only animals to become self-aware? Find out who we are, where we come from, and perhaps - where we're going.

Psychology of Luck: Korean Secrets for Attracting Wealth and Success


Praised as a book that 'brings you luck the moment you open it', this book contains lessons on how to understand - and use - the psychology of luck. Why are successful people so obsessed with luck? Because they want to draw things of value to them. The average person will experience at least a couple of lucky breaks in their lives, but life's successes and failures are dependent on how well you recognize the signs of such luck. Born into a family with a gift of intuitive foresight and raised in Korean traditions of numerology, astrology and shamanism, Min Ji Yoo has developed deep insights into how people attract luck, money and the things they value to themselves. In The Psychology of Luck, Min Ji Yoo focuses on how successful people harness their luck to attract success - and how we can too. Drawing on her years working with celebrities, business tycoons, politicians, and everyday people, Ji Yoo explains that the capacity to take advantage of lucky opportunities determines one's success. In this book, she reveals the surprising truths that you can enrich your life in many ways, simply by changing your attitude and psychological approach to luck. Each chapter offers life lessons about luck and abundance - as well as approaches that quiet those anxieties that weigh us down. From 'live according to your instincts' to 'the more grace you give, the less pain you receive', Min Ji Yoo demonstrates that self-knowledge, worldly wisdom and luck are essential to becoming rich - whether measured in money, love, health or spiritual terms.

Natures Echo


Nature wants to heal, and we can help. When Earth's ecosystems fall out of harmony, the damage can spiral out of control. But what if we could help nature to regain its balance? As a leading ecologist, Professor Thomas Crowther studies not just how species work in isolation, but how complex ecosystems regulate themselves. When nature's cycles are allowed to build momentum, each species can create the conditions to allow others to thrive. From the birth of galaxies to the creation of life, the greatest transformations in our universe have been driven by quiet, self-reinforcing processes known as feedback loops. Drawing on cutting-edge ecological science, gripping personal narrative and initiatives already happening around the world, Nature's Echo shows how natural feedback loops have astonishing power to rebound, even with minor intervention. If we can only realize how integral we are to this highly interconnected natural world, we will re-discover the path to a better future.

Servus


'The most important book you'll ever read about ancient Rome.' - Rebecca Wragg Sykes, author of KINDRED 'Forget white marble statues and philosophical debates: Emma Southon takes you on a journey through the hell of ancient slavery that defined the classical world as few other things - a true masterwork of historical enquiry. - Gabriel Zuchtriegel, Director General of Pompeii The 'electrifying' untold story of slavery in the Roman Empire by the author of A Fatal Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. We associate the Romans with majesty and greatness: we marvel at their straight roads and innovative underfloor heating, at the dominance of their army and navy, at the grandeur of their palaces and temples. But the Romans were also enslavers. They built an empire on the backs of millions of people snatched from their homes in the aftermath of war, kidnapped from the streets, sold into slavery as punishment or, simply, born enslaved. Servus takes us into the invisible spaces of the Roman world, where millions of enslaved lives were unwillingly dedicated to the perpetuation of the empire that owned them. From the fields of wheat required to give every Roman their daily bread, to the actors and gladiators who provided their circuses, and the miners who kept Rome a city of gold and marble, enslaved people were the bedrock of the Roman Empire. These enslaved people were ubiquitous, but silenced. Through the fragments they left behind, historian Emma Southon traces the pain and tragedy of their lives alongside the love stories, lifelong friendships, small victories and hard-won freedoms. Servus tells the truth about the Roman empire and the unseen lives that made it so dominant. ---'A much-needed corrective to centuries of obfuscations and misunderstandings. Servus is a challenging read yet a simultaneously sensitive and even entertaining one, striking that peculiar balance that . . . only Emma can fully achieve.' Jane Draycott, author of FULVIA'Electrifying, rousing and flowing with passion, this deeply researched book zips along in a way that defies expectation. What a skill Southon has for maintaining an energetic yet empathetic tone while bringing such dark realities to light.' - Daisy Dunn, author of THE MISSING THREAD

Goodbye, ISIS


Why did more than 15,000 people from the former Soviet bloc join ISIS - nearly a third of the group's foreign fighter? n Goodbye, ISIS: What Remains is Future, award-winning journalist Katerina Sergatskova investigates one of the most underexplored chapters of global terrorism. Drawing on years of reporting across Georgia, Turkey, Iraq, and Ukraine, she traces the personal stories of ISIS recruits, their families, and even those falsely accused of affiliation. Through vivid interviews and groundbreaking reporting, Sergatskova reveals how post-Soviet fighters shaped ISIS, how the movement spread into the Caucasus, and why Ukraine has become an unexpected landing place for some of its veterans. Alongside this narrative, she connects today’s extremist networks to earlier figures like Dzhokhar Dudayev and Shamil Basayev, showing how past conflicts laid the groundwork for ISIS’s reach. Both deeply human and geopolitically urgent, Goodbye, ISIS challenges assumptions about terrorism, migration, and security in the post-Soviet world — and why understanding it matters for global stability.

US Heavy Tanks of World War II


Through World War II the US Army worked on projects for new heavy tanks, which are charted in this illustrated study of the M6 and the never-built T14, T28, and Pershing-derived designs. In this book, world-renowned armour expert Steven J. Zaloga examines the US Army's efforts to field a heavy tank in World War II. The first design was the M6, which never saw combat use despite being type classified. The heavy T14 assault tank, earmarked for the British under Lend-Lease, was also developed, while the M4A3E2 assault tank went into production as a stopgap for the 1944 campaign in France. The most outrageous US tank project of the war was the T28/T95 superheavy tank, which was so large that it required four sets of suspension bogies instead of the usual two. The M26 Pershing medium tank program also spawned a number of heavy tank projects, such as the T29, T30 and T34, which are also examined. Although production of these was envisioned in 1945–46, the end of the war put an end to any possibility of serial manufacture. Nevertheless, these tanks were heavily influenced by World War II lessons and their development and technical features are examined. Illustrated with rarely seen archive photos and meticulously illustrated new profiles of the key designs, this book traces the US Army’s efforts to develop heavy tanks comparable to the German Tigers, and the reasons why such monstrous machines were never required.
