The inconvenient truth is that we are causing the climate crisis with our carbon intensive lifestyles and that fixing - or even just slowing - it will affect all of us. But it can be done • In Net Zero the economist Professor Dieter Helm addresses the action we would all need to take, whether personal, local, national or global, if we really wanted to stop causing climate change • Net Zero is Professor Dieter Helm's measured, balanced view of how we stop causing climate change by adopting a net zero strategy of reducing carbon emissions and increasing carbon absorption. It is a rational look at why the past 30 years efforts has failed and why and how the next 30 years can succeed. It is a vital book for anyone who hears the clamour of Extinction Rebellion and other ecological activists, but wonders what they can actually do

Humans are the only mammals to walk on two, rather than four, legs. From an evolutionary perspective, this is an illogical development, as it slows us down. But here we are, suggesting there must have been something tremendous to gain from bipedalism • First Steps takes our ordinary, everyday walking experience and reveals how unusual and extraordinary it truly is. The seven-million-year-long journey through the origins of upright walking shows how it was in fact a gateway to many of the other attributes that make us human-from our technological skills and sociality to our thirst for exploration • DeSilva uses early human evolution to explain the instinct that propels a crawling infant to toddle onto two feet, differences between how men and women tend to walk, physical costs of upright walking, including hernias, varicose veins and backache, and the challenges of childbirth imposed by a bipedal pelvis

Divorced and struggling with deep-rooted mental health problems, Bella Mackie ended her twenties in tears. She could barely find the strength to get off the sofa, let alone piece her life back together. Until one day she did something she had never done of her own free will – she pulled on a pair of trainers and went for a run • That first attempt didn’t last very long. But to her surprise, she was back out there the next day. And the day after that. She began to set herself achievable goals – to run 5k in under 30 minutes, to walk to work every day for a week, to attempt 10 push-ups in a row. Before she knew it, her mood was lifting for the first time in years • In Jog On, Bella explains with hilarious and unfiltered honesty how she used running to battle crippling anxiety and depression, without having to sacrifice her main loves: booze, cigarettes and ice cream

In her groundbreaking debut, Anna Malaika Tubbs tells the incredible stories of three women who raised three world-changing men • Much has been written about Berdis Baldwin's son James, about Alberta King's son Martin Luther and Louise Little's son Malcolm. But virtually nothing has been said about the extraordinary women who raised them, each fighting their own battles, born into the beginning of the twentieth century and a deadly landscape of racial prejudice, Jim Crow, exploitation, unpoliced violence and open police vitriol • It was a society that would deny their sons' humanity from the beginning as it had denied theirs, but Berdis, Alberta and Louise were extraordinary women who instilled resilience, resistance and greatness in their sons

Мадагаскар - это место перемен. Являясь центром биоразнообразия и четвертым по величине островом на планете, он стал домом для впечатляющего парада животных, от гигантских нелетающих птиц и гигантских черепах на земле до проворных лемуров, прыгающих по верхушкам деревьев. Некоторые виды продолжают жить; многие исчезли в далеком или недавнем прошлом. На протяжении огромных промежутков времени леса Мадагаскара расширялись и сокращались в ответ на изменение климата, и в изменениях, произошедших за последнюю тысячу лет или около того, очевидна рука людей. Сегодня Мадагаскар - это микрокосм глобальных тенденций. То, что произойдет там в ближайшие десятилетия, возможно, подскажет пути, которые помогут переломить ситуацию с экологическим кризисом, охватившим сейчас мир

Мир Шекспира никогда не слишком сильно отличается от нашего собственного, пронизанного теми же трагедиями, теми же экзистенциальными вопросами и домашними заботами. В своей необыкновенной книге "Без ума от Шекспира. От классной комнаты до театра и отделения неотложной помощи" Джонатан Бейт объединяет "тогда" и "сейчас". Он исследует моменты своей собственной жизни – потери и испытания – и спрашивает, сможет ли он, если вы будете упорствовать с Шекспиром, предложить слово мудрости или человеческое понимание для любого времени или любого кризиса. По пути мы встречаем таких актеров, как Джуди Денч и Саймон Кэллоу, и таких писателей, как доктор Джонсон, Джон Китс, Вирджиния Вульф и Сильвия Плат, которые обращались к Шекспиру в свои мрачные времена

Bestselling author and co-director of the MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy Andrew McAfee says there's a new reason for optimism: we're past the point of "peak stuff" - from here on out, it'll take fewer resources to make things, and cost less to lead a comfortable life • This turn of events invalidates the predictions of overpopulation alarmists and those who argue we need to drastically reduce our conception of how much is enough. What has made this turnabout possible? One thing primarily: the collaboration between technology and capitalism • Capitalism's quest for higher profits is a quest for lower costs; materials and resources are expensive, and technological progress allows companies to use fewer of them even as they grow their markets
