Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, InspiringIn this Very Short Introduction Bill McGuire takes a fresh look at our sometimes perilous planet, and evaluates the causes and consequences of what used to be thought of as natural hazards through the prism of planetary heating and the continuing destabilising of our climate. Our world has always been a dangerous and deadly place, and storms, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic blasts have taken an enormous toll on lives and livelihoods throughout recorded history and before. In the past, such events were regarded first as acts of God, or gods, and later as simply a consequence of hazardous natural phenomena that are a normal part of how our planet works. In recent decades, however, this picture has changed. Relentless global heating, arising from the 2.4 trillion tonnes of carbon dioxide pumped into the atmosphere as a result of human activities, has completely altered the natural hazard landscape. There has long been a debate about whether - due to the influence of societal and economic factors - there is such a thing as a truly natural disaster. Now, the debate has moved on to whether or not the hazards that cause them can any longer be described as entirely natural. Our damaged climate has driven an explosion of extreme weather, which has become ever more apparent in recent years via the super-charging of storms, floods, heatwaves and wildfires. The fingerprints of global heating can be detected even in individual events that would have been extremely unlikely to have happened, or even been impossible, in its absence. Meanwhile earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions continue to plague communities and take lives, while even here there are links with a changing climate that have the potential to magnify their occurrence and impacts. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Clare Balding grew up in a rather unusual household. Her father a champion trainer, she shared her life with more than 100 thoroughbred racehorses, mares, foals and ponies, as well as an ever-present pack of boxers and lurchers. As a toddler she would happily ride the legendary Mill Reef and take breakfast with the Queen.She and her younger brother came very low down the pecking order. Left to their own devices, they had to learn life s toughest lessons through the animals, and through their adventures in the stables and the idyllic Hampshire Downs. From the protective Candy to the pot-bellied Valkyrie and the frisky Hattie, each horse and each dog had their own character and their own special part to play.The running family joke was that women ain t people .

This new, thoroughly updated fifth edition of Bradt s Malta remains the most detailed guide to the country. Written by the author, broadsheet destination expert and tour leader who wrote the original guide and has updated every edition since, Bradt s Malta has built a reputation as the go-to resource for getting beneath the surface of this island nation. With this guidebook in hand, discover cultural and other delights that lie beyond the island s famed beaches. The deeper you delve, the more you will uncover of the varied riches of Malta and the adjacent islands of Gozo and Comino. Malta has the highest density of historic sights of any country, the result of a unique cultural and built heritage that fuses Neolithic, Roman, medieval, Arab, Punic, French and British influences. On one day, you might visit what is arguably the world s oldest accessible stone architecture - UNESCO-listed temples that are more ancient even than Egypt s great pyramids and Britain s Stonehenge. On other days, choose between unusual Roman catacombs, medieval citadels and the baroque legacy of the Knights of St John, or the secret headquarters and underground shelters of World War II (used by General Eisenhower to command the invasion of Sicily) - or perhaps come right up to date in the vibrant capital of Valletta by admiring the new parliament building, designed by Renzo Plano, architect of London s Shard. For something different, gawp at Caravaggio s largest (and only signed) painting, visit one of Malta s 300-odd village churches, enjoy world-class diving on Gozo, or make merry in colourful parish festas, where parades and fireworks are complemented by music and food. Talking of cuisine, why not treat yourself to one of Malta s six Michelin-starred restaurants, which represent the zenith of the island s recent surge in gastronomical delights? And if you need some downtime, relax on beaches that enjoy 300 days of sun each year and take a dip in clear blue seas that are delightfully warm from June to November. Whether you class yourself as a culture vulture, history buff, foodie, church lover or diver, this new, fifth edition of Bradt s Malta has you covered.

Subtly altered how I see the world.  —Michelle Goldberg, New York Times“[Status and Culture] consistently posits theories I d never previously considered that instantly feel obvious.” —Chuck Klosterman, author of The Nineties“Why are you the way that you are? Status and Culture explains nearly everything about the things you choose to be—and how the society we live in takes shape in the process.” —B.J. Novak, writer and actorSolving the long-standing mysteries of culture—from the origin of our tastes and identities, to the perpetual cycles of fashions and fads—through a careful exploration of the fundamental human desire for statusAll humans share a need to secure their social standing, and this universal motivation structures our behavior, forms our tastes, determines how we live, and ultimately shapes who we are. We can use status, then, to explain why some things become “cool,” how stylistic innovations arise, and why there are constant changes in clothing, music, food, sports, slang, travel, hairstyles, and even dog breeds.In Status and Culture, W. David Marx weaves together the wisdom from history, psychology, sociology, anthropology, economics, philosophy, linguistics, semiotics, cultural theory, literary theory, art history, media studies, and neuroscience to demonstrate exactly how individual status seeking creates our cultural ecosystem. Marx examines three fundamental questions: Why do individuals cluster around arbitrary behaviors and take deep meaning from them? How do distinct styles, conventions, and sensibilities emerge? Why do we change behaviors over time and why do some behaviors stick around? The answers then provide new perspectives for understanding the seeming “weightlessness” of internet culture.      Status and Culture is a book that will appeal to business people, students, creators, and anyone who has ever wondered why things become popular, why their own preferences change over time, and how identity plays out in contemporary society. Readers of this book will walk away with deep and lasting knowledge of the often secret rules of how culture really works.

â ˜Deeply regret to inform you that 2/Lt C F B Hodgins 2/Wiltshire Regt is reported killed Sept 25/26. Lord Kitchener desires to express his sympathy. Secretary War Office.â ™ â “ Telegram from the War Office dated 29 September 1915This is the true and previously untold story of one manâ ™s war on the Western Front during the First World War. As a young man, still in his teens, Charles Francis Burgoyne Hodgins, known as Charlie, answered the call to â ˜do his bitâ ™ for King and Country. Like so many others, he was never to return. He was killed on 25 September 1915, on the opening day of the Battle of Loos, and is one of many thousands who now lie in cemeteries near the former battlefields of northern France. According to an officer in his battalion, he died leading his men with great gallantry, and even when wounded, tried to rise and take them on . Drawing on the many letters, photographs and telegrams Charlie sent home, along with newspaper articles, war archives and other personal accounts, historian Peter Jacobs has pieced together the final moments of Charlieâ ™s short life. This is a compelling and poignant tale of personal courage and one familyâ ™s loss. But it also tells of the tragedy and suffering experienced by a generation of men during the First World War.
