<p><b>An awestruck love letter to one of the most spectacular places on earth, from the author of international bestseller <i>The Eight Mountains</i></b><br/><br/>Paolo Cognetti marked his 40th birthday with a journey he had always wanted to make: to Dolpo, a remote Himalayan region where Nepal meets Tibet. He took with him two friends, a notebook, mules and guides, and a well-worn copy of <i>The Snow Leopard</i>. Written in 1978, Matthiessen's classic was also turning forty, and Cognetti set out to walk in the footsteps of the great adventurer.<br/><br/><i>Without Ever Reaching the Summit </i>combines travel journal, secular pilgrimage, literary homage and sublime mountain writing in a short book for readers of Macfarlane, Rebanks and Cognetti's own bestseller,<i> The Eight Mountains</i>. An investigation into the author's physical limits, an ancient mountain culture, and the magnificence of nature, it is an awestruck love letter to one of the most spectacular places on earth.</p>

Living On Earth Bok
The eagerly anticipated conclusion to Peter Godfrey-Smith's three-part exploration of the origins of intelligence on Earth, which began with the bestselling Other Minds in 2018 and continued with Metazoa in 2020.<br/>Peter Godfrey-Smith, the scuba-diving philosopher, examined the evolution of sentience in Other Minds. In Metazoa he asked how that consciousness shaped and was shaped by animal bodies. Now, in Living on Earth, he takes that line of questioning a step further, asking, how has life shaped and been shaped by our planet?<br/><br/>He explores the last living stromatolite fields, examples of how cyanobacteria from the sea first began colonising the land and belching oxygen into the atmosphere as they photosynthesised the sun's light. Oxygen meant life, and so began a riotous tangle of coevolution between plants and new animals. And then, in our own evolutionary line, an initially unremarkable mammal changed in new ways, forming societies and technologies. This led eventually to change to the atmosphere itself, as carbon that was buried and transformed to oil was deliberately burned with life-derived oxygen, to power the elaborate world of humanity.<br/><br/>Humans belong to the infinitely complex system that is the Earth, and our minds are products of that system, but they are also an acting force within it. We are creatures of Earth, and we hold Earth's future in our hands.

Lost Wonders Bok
<p>Many scientists believe that we are currently living through the Earth's sixth mass extinction, with species disappearing at a rate not seen for tens of millions of years - a trend that will only accelerate as climate change and other pressures intensify. What does it mean to live in such a time? And what exactly do we lose when a species goes extinct?<br/><br/>In <i>Lost Wonders</i> author and journalist Tom Lathan tells the stories of ten species that have lived, died out and been declared extinct since the turn of the twenty-first century. In a series of fascinating encounters with subjects that are now nowhere to be found on Earth - from giant tortoises to minuscule snails the size of sesame seeds, from ocean-hopping trees to fish that wag their tails like puppies - Lathan brings these lost wonders briefly back to life and gives us a tantalising glimpse of what we have lost within our own lifetime.<br/><br/>Drawing on the personal recollections of the people who studied these species, as well as those who tried but ultimately failed to save them, <i>Lost Wonders</i> is an intimate portrait of the species that have only recently vanished from our world and an urgent warning to hold on all the more tightly to those now slipping from our grasp.</p>

The Ultimate Guide To The Constellations And Planets Bok
This is a highly practical guide to identifying the constellations and the stars that comprise them. Geoffrey Cornelius, astronomy expert and teacher, brings star-watching vividly to life by conveying the rich symbolic significance that the heavens assumed in many cultures, from the Babylonians to the ancient Greeks. Master star navigation by building your knowledge rather than relying on technology. "Signpost charts" make finding stars easy. Assuming no prior knowledge of astronomy, the book concentrates on features that can be made out with the naked eye or binoculars. All 88 Major and Minor Constellations, and the planets, included. Along with beautiful 4-colour illustrations of each, and the myths and legends behind hundreds of individual stars, lose yourself in the magic of the night sky. Plan your year around the unmissable celestial moments with the "full-sky maps" that show which constellations are viewable and where, every month. Whether you're a budding astronomer looking to deepen your understanding, or an astrologer hoping to learn more about the ancient myths that were formed in the sky, you'll find everything you need in this comprehensive introduction.

Wild Walking Bok
<b>Disconnect from the distractions of daily life and reconnect with nature with <i>Wild Walking</i>, an enticing and comprehensive introduction to forest bathing-or <i>Shinrin-yoku</i>, in Japan.</b><br/><br/>Full sensory immersion in the beauty and wonder of nature and trees can produce <b>mental, emotional, and physical health benefits</b>. Research has shown that forest bathing lowers blood pressure, pulse rate, and cortisol levels; improves mood; and may even boost our immunity to cancer and other diseases.<br/><br/><i>Wild Walking</i> invites you to experience the benefits of this healing practice for yourself. Learn the<b> history and background </b>of forest bathing, followed by <b>detailed instructions for establishing a forest bathing practice </b>in your own adopted "wild home," encompassed in three steps:<br/><br/>1. Disengagement from your daily routine<br/>2. Deep breathing and nature connection through a series of quiet activities or "invitations"<br/>3. Transitioning back to your daily life<br/><br/>This restorative activity <b>can be enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities</b>: children, teenagers, and even senior citizens with limited mobility and people recovering from illness and surgery. And you don't need to travel to the Japanese alps to experience the benefits of forest bathing. <b>All you need is a small patch of untouched (or lightly touched) nature</b> to adopt as your "wild home."<br/><br/>Within, find <b>practical tips and inspiration for forest bathing through the seasons</b>: in the winter, when the leafless trees open up new vistas; in the spring, when you can hear the melodious serenade of song birds as they nest in the newly formed green canopy; in the summer, watching the butterflies nectaring on wildflowers; and in the autumn, when you can catch glimpses of hurried squirrels storing food for the winter.<br/><br/><i>Wild Walking</i> introduces a variety of activities that can be enhanced with forest bathing elements, such as mindfulness practices, exercise, art and writing, and outdoor celebrations. Learn, too, how surrendering to the mysteries of nature can <b>provide guidance through difficult times</b>.<br/><br/>As you find nourishment in nature, you will instinctively begin to wonder<b> how you can preserve and protect this healing resource</b>. This guide includes suggestions for tending to your "wild home."<br/><br/>Illustrated throughout with <b>enchanting artwork</b> and stunning <b>nature photography</b>, <i>Wild Walking </i>is the perfect guide to enhancing your life with the wondrous world of nature.
