Poles Apart: Exploring Antarctica
Covered in vast expanses of ice and snow, and battered by gale-force winds, Antarctica is one of Earth''s most isolated and hostile habitats. And yet many amazing animals and plants thrive in these extreme conditions.This book explores Antarctica, showing the plants and animals that survive here in the long dark winters and acute cold. Learn about ice floes and pack ice so heavy and hard they can tear a ship''s hull and read about the amazing Antarctic fish who have anti-freeze in their blood. See the stunning Southern lights rippling across the sky in glowing greens and yellows and find out what sparkling diamond dust is.Because so few humans can live in such cold conditions, this means the region is mostly unspoilt, providing a great environment for scientific research. This book looks at the work that happens in Antarctica as well as exploring some of the problems that affect the region, such as climate change and toxic pollution.Oliver Averill''s atmospheric illustrations provide a visual guide to one of our planet''s extraordinary polar regions. Perfect for children aged 7+

The Danger to be Sane
"An ebullient examination of madness, mortality, suicide... Montero finds that ‘deviance’ is often just a more truthful account of normal human behavior." —Chris KrausA dazzling journey into the eccentric, troubled, and luminous minds that shaped literature. In this bold, personal, and deeply researched blend of memoir, essay, literary analysis, psychological reflection, and intellectual sleuth story, Montero draws on psychology, neuroscience, creative literature, and the testimonies and biographies of authors and artists to weave a fascinating narrative on the connection between creativity and mental instability. With intelligence, generosity, and narrative élan, Montero brings to life figures such as Franz Kafka, Virginia Woolf, Emily Dickinson, Sylvia Plath, Marcel Proust, Joseph Conrad, and Doris Lessing, painting a fresco of the ways in which the brain works, its quirks and dark corners. She breaks down the forces that influence creativity and miraculously reassembles them before the reader’s eyes over three hundred gripping pages. Like a masterfully plotted detective story, each clue leads readers one step closer to new definitions of both the creative act and of what is and is not “normal.” Blending intimate memoir with wide-ranging cultural history, The Danger to Be Sane is a moving and inspirational homage to minds and lives that are outside of the mean. ’Twas a Divine Insanity— The Danger to be Sane From Emily Dickinson, Poem 593

Natalie Davis's brave and candid memoir chronicles the transformation of her traditional monogamous marriage into a vibrant polyamorous lifestyle. When her husband suggests they have sex with strangers, Natalie is incredulous. Yet, in the aftermath of his infidelity and while battling the voice in her head urging her to leave him, she agrees to try non-monogamy.

Fearing for her livelihood and community standing, Natalie must keep her new lifestyle secret. She navigates complex relationships, including increasing clashes with her boyfriend's wife (her "metamour"), confronting a therapist who claims polyamory is abusive, and debating what to tell her family and friends. Along the way, she discovers her own bold sexuality, experiences the thrill of young lovers, finds empathy from her husband's experienced poly girlfriend, and learns to weather heartbreak and find bliss.Saying Yes offers an unvarnished look into Natalie's world, as she explores excitement, intimacy, and connection in unexpected places, including a few stairwells.

Footprints
The most important Swiss poet of the nineteenth century, Conrad Ferdinand Meyer is regarded as a crucial figure in the transition of German-language poetry from the Romanticism of Heine, Novalis and Eichendorff to the Symbolism of Rilke and Stefan George.In poems that took years and sometimes decades to reach a final version, he worked within a limited set of themes and images – high mountains, gloomy lakes, sinister boats, nocturnal ghosts, reflected clouds, dark woods, golden sunsets, lightning, harvesting, lost lovers – to present his own symbolic world with a vividness and intensity that few poets can match. In these sensitive and accurate versions by acclaimed translator Anthony Mortimer, Meyer’s achievement is available to anglophone readers for the first time.

The Age Code
What if the food you eat could rewind your biological clock? 'Clear and compelling' Chris van Tulleken 'Really interesting and insightful' Joe Wicks 'Fascinating' Tim Spector From the rising incidence of cancer in the under-50s to increased infertility rates, there are signs everywhere that growing numbers of us are ageing too quickly. Why? Many believe there’s one major culprit: our diet. Ageing reflects a fragile balance in our cells between damage and repair. Sugar, excess calories and gut inflammation are all common sources of damage, but if we instead fuel our body with valuable micronutrients, we can lower our disease risk and age markedly slower. Until recently this process was impossible to measure, but with new breakthroughs we can even assess the age of individual organs, giving rise to a new science of food that might save us. Join Dr David Cox as he meets the experts attempting to understand what’s accelerating our biological clocks and what we can do about it. Along the way you’ll learn everything from why we become more acidic as we age, to why omega-3s are one of the most powerful anti-ageing supplements, to the simple adjustments to your cooking that will help you age better. The Age Code urgently pinpoints why our eating habits must change and what we can all do to live longer and healthier lives.
