The Noble Quest
The late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries witnessed the dawn of a golden age of science, during which time there was a dedicated drive to accurately categorise nature and explain the natural world. Enthusiastic naturalists, amateur and professional, set off to collect and classify plants and animals across the New World, and many of these finds still bear the names of those who discovered them today. In this new and updated edition, The Noble Quest profiles nine notable naturalists of the pre-Darwinian age: early naturalists William Bartram and Alexander von Humboldt; inquisitive aristocrats Charles Waterton and Prince Maximilian of Wied; professional collectors David Douglas, John Kirk Townsend and John Richardson; and the last of the field naturalists Henry Walter Bates and John Wesley Powell. All faced great adventures and hardship as they undertook their groundbreaking work and strived to quantify, categorise and rationally explain the planet’s flourishing ecosystems.

Bonded by Evolution
What if everything we thought we knew about finding and keeping love was wrong?We’re told that what men and women desire from relationship is different and at odds – he’s looking for novelty, she’s looking for commitment; he’s concerned with looks, she’s concerned with status. We’re told that we live in a hierarchy of romantic inequality, in which desirability is predetermined by a narrow set of characteristics and where some people are marriage material while others are only fit for hookups. Such ideas about attraction, love and human mating have their roots in evolutionary psychology, and over the past few decades they have permeated our culture and fuelled a narrative of human mating that inspires despair and anxiety – and, in their most extreme form, misogyny and violence.But this narrative is unscientific.The rigorous scientific truth about human attraction and relationships – and the way evolution plays out in our personal lives – is much more interesting and optimistic.Bonded by Evolution is a radical new account of attraction and romantic relationships. Informed by his work at the Attraction and Relationships Research Laboratory in California, Professor Paul Eastwick reveals how attraction is best depicted as a process of finding – and, often, creating – a compatible relationship within a small set of romantic options. And by understanding how humans have historically sought compatible partners in small networks, we can build an alternative to the dominant script, and a clearer – and brighter – picture of how attraction and relationships really work.

Burnt Mounds and the Bronze Age Exploitation of the Suffolk Claylands
This volume focuses on remains of the Beaker period to Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age (c. 2400–350 BC) from three multi-period developer-funded excavations on the clay uplands of Suffolk, within which four burnt mounds were investigated. The sites were excavated by Cotswold Archaeology (CA) and Suffolk Archaeology Community Interest Company (CIC) (now Cotswold Archaeology). At Marham Park (Fornham All Saints), overlooking the valley of the River Lark, features included a Beaker period burnt mound complex, a Beaker roundhouse, Beaker pits, an Early Bronze Age burnt mound complex, Middle Bronze Age field systems/enclosures and probable Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age land division boundaries. At Laxfield, above a tributary of the River Blyth, a burnt mound site of earlier Bronze Age date was located in the vicinity of subsequent Middle Bronze Age enclosures. At Hepworth, a fragmentary Beaker period/Early Bronze Age burnt mound site was recorded on higher land above tributaries of the River Dove.

The Shape of Things Unseen
A compelling insight into how our imagination works, based on the latest scientific research.
People often think of imagination as something used only in creative endeavours. In fact, we use imagination constantly as we reminisce, anticipate, plan, daydream, read, create imagined worlds. The truth is we live in the here and now much less than we tend to think.
Imagination isn’t the exception in our daily lives; it’s our default setting. Yet only now are we beginning to understand exactly how it works. From hallucination to sleepwalking, from REM sleep to delusions, neurologist Adam Zeman brilliantly guides us through the latest scientific studies in the world of the imagination.
He draws on research in neuroscience, the study of human origins and child development to show how the human brain is above all else a creative, imaginative organ – and that we have evolved to share what we imagine. Our brains behave in strikingly similar ways when we observe, remember, imagine or act. Imagine looking at a cube and your eye will trace the contours of the cube as if you were actually seeing it.
Yet it turns out that people differ hugely in their imaginative experience. Some people lack sensory imagery altogether – they would be unable to picture their family if asked to – but still lead fulfilling, even highly creative, lives. From how we visualise to how we understand the minds of others, from the benefits of play to mental disorders, The Shape of Things Unseen dazzles and delights.
It is an essential guide to the latest discoveries about the workings of the human mind.

Ha Oroszország győz - Szcenárió
Megszoktuk, hogy végül minden jól alakul. De mi van, ha most nem így lesz? Carlo Masala különösen drámai módon mutatja be, mi forog kockán.
Egy lehetséges forgatókönyv szerint 2028 márciusában az orosz csapatok elfoglalják az észt kisvárost, Narvát és a Balti-tengeren fekvő Hiiumaa-szigetet. Megkezdődik a balti államok elleni támadás. Az a tény, hogy Európa az ukrajnai háború befejezése után nem fegyverkezett fel újra, most visszaüt. Alkalmazható-e a NATO 5-ös cikkelye? Hogyan dönt a szövetség? Kockáztatják-e a nukleáris háborút?
A katonai szakértő Carlo Masala a fikció határmezsgyéjén egyensúlyozva mutatja be, hogy Oroszország Ukrajna elleni agresszív háborúja messze több, mint egy európai konfliktus – ez a jövőbeli világrendért folyó globális hatalmi harc egyik legfontosabb csatatere, kimenetelétől függ, hogy milyen normák uralják ezentúl a nemzetközi politikát. Ez a könyv sürgető felhívás, hogy Ukrajna sorsán túl lássuk azt is, nemcsak Európa jövője a tét, hanem a nemzetközi rend stabilitása is.
„Hozzászoktunk, hogy végül valahogyan minden jóra fordul. Minden hollywoodi filmben ez történik. Ez történt 1945-ben és 1989-ben is. Persze nem azonnal, az unalmas is lenne. De a végére mégiscsak. A mostani helyzet egyértelmű: demokráciánkra, Ukrajnára, az egész Nyugatra irtózatos nyomás nehezedik. A populisták egyre sikeresebbek a választásokon, az orosz csapatok előrenyomulnak, Donald Trumpot megint elnökké választották. De a végére majd csak jóra fordulnak a dolgok, ugye? Minket azért mégsem támad meg Oroszország, a demokrácia nem roppan bele, a Nyugat megőrzi az erejét, ugye?
És mi van, ha mégsem? Mi van, ha Oroszország győz?”
Mafia: A Global History
Few forces have shaped our world as powerfully – or as secretly – as mafias.
Groups such as La Cosa Nostra, the Medellín Cartel, New York’s Five Families, the Japanese yakuza and Russian vory are notorious, endlessly covered in news stories and popular media. Yet when official histories are written, their role in shaping nations, economies and societies is rarely acknowledged.
In Mafia: A Global History, Ryan Gingeras draws on more than a decade of research to uncover this suppressed underworld history. Crossing centuries and continents, he introduces legendary figures – Al Capone, Pablo Escobar, Du Yuesheng – and explores the conditions, cultures and locales that gave birth to modern mafias: Sicily, Marseille, New York, Colombia, Tokyo. As he reconstructs the rise of a gang or the life of a gangster, he also charts the expanding power of states and the increasingly international reach of trade, crime and law enforcement. After all, governments define what is a crime and who is a criminal, and their agents create the strategies used to limit or defend against their threat.
Beginning with bandits and ending with today’s ‘mafia states’ – and the alarming blurring of lines between gangsters, corporations and political leaders – this sweeping narrative traces the evolution of organised crime in response to industrialisation, globalisation and technological change. By charting the origins, consolidation and transformation of mafias, Gingeras reveals not only where contemporary gangsters come from, but how they became central to our imagination and why they are the uncredited architects of the modern world.
A Brief History of the Universe (and our place in it)
We have always looked up at the sky and wondered.
Ever since the ancient Babylonians began to track celestial objects on clay tablets, scientific inquiry has been driven by the innately human desire to understand what is out there, and where we fit in among it all.
In this spellbinding book, Dr Sarah Alam Malik takes us on a journey through the discoveries that have propelled and continually overturned our perception of the cosmos. From Aristotle’s Earth-centred worldview to the Copernican revolution and Isaac Newton unifying the terrestrial and celestial under the law of gravity, fascination about our universe has never diminished.
One of the marvels of our existence is that we can imagine worlds far beyond our own, from the fiery deaths of faraway suns to the baffling complexities of the subatomic. This capacity to share a much grander and more mysterious reality may be among the greatest privileges life has to offer. This is the story so far.
A Brief History of the Universe (and our place in it) is at once a fascinating story of discovery and a beautiful celebration of our endless curiosity.
Poet, Mystic, Widow, Wife
A spectacular, vivid, groundbreaking work of history which takes us into the minds and lives of medieval women.
What was life really like for women in the medieval period? How did they think about sex, death and God? Could they live independent lives? And how can we hear their stories? Few women had the luxury of writing down their thoughts and feelings during medieval times.
But remarkably, there are at least four extraordinary women who did. Marie de France, a poet; Julian of Norwich, a mystic and anchoress; Christine de Pizan, a widow and court writer; and Margery Kempe, a "no-good wife". In their own ways these four very different writers pushed back against the misogyny of the period.
Each broke new ground in women’s writing and left us incredible insights into the world of medieval life and politics. This mesmerizing book is an unforgettably lively and immersive journey into the everyday lives of medieval women through the stories of these four iconic women writers, some of which are retold here for general readers for the first time.
Red Dawn Over China
The history of modern China has long been portrayed as a tale of Communists fighting in the hills for freedom, gradually gaining popular support by taking land from the rich and giving it to the poor. Drawing on a wealth of archival evidence, Red Dawn Over China reveals how unlikely the Party's victory actually was, had it not been for financial and military support from the Soviet Union.
Established in 1921 under the direct guidance of Moscow, for the best part of a decade the Communist Party left a trail of destruction, besieging towns and plundering the countryside. When the Communists managed to hold territory, they reduced the villagers to a state of servitude, undermining belief in their cause as well as the local economy.
By 1936 they had the same popular appeal as an obscure religious sect. A brutal war of occupation by Japan allowed them to survive far behind enemy lines. After Soviet troops invaded Manchuria in 1945 and provided more money and munitions, the Communists at long last prevailed through a pitiless war of attrition, driven by an unflinching will to conquer at all costs.
In this riveting tale told with great narrative verve, Frank Dikotter reveals how thirteen delegates gathered in a dusty room in 1921 ended up raising the red flag over the Forbidden City in 1949, forever altering the course of history for a quarter of humanity and shaping the world as we know it today.
