The Deadly Balance - Adam Hart

The predators that can hunt, kill and eat us occupy a unique place in the human psyche. In this book, Adam Hart looks at our relationship with these animals from a conservation perspective.Whether it''s lions in Africa, tigers in India or sharks in the world’s oceans, we are fascinated by – and often terrified of – predators. Animals that can hunt, kill, and eat us occupy a unique place in the human psyche, and for good reason. Predation forms a big part of our evolutionary history, but in the modern world there are many people who live alongside animals that can, and sometimes do, make them prey.In The Deadly Balance, biologist Adam Hart explores the complex relationships we have with predators, and investigates what happens when humans become prey. From big cats to army ants, via snakes, bears, wolves, crocodiles, piranhas and more, Hart busts some myths and explores the science behind such encounters. Despite their fearsome and often wildly exaggerated reputations, these animals have far more to fear from us than we do from them. By probing the latest conservation science, Hart explores how we might both conserve the world''s predators and live safely alongside them.

The Butcher, the Baker, the Candlestick-Maker - Roger Hutchinson

At the beginning of each decade for 200 years the national census has presented a self-portrait of the British Isles.The census has surveyed Britain from the Napoleonic wars to the age of the internet, through the agricultural and industrial revolutions, possession of the biggest empire on earth and the devastation of the 20th century''s two world wars.In The Butcher, the Baker, the Candlestick Maker, Roger Hutchinson looks at every census between the first in 1801 and the latest in 2011.

The Story of Christianity - Hart David Bentley

The story of Christianity is an immeasurably fascinating one. A faith that began in Roman occupied Palestine, as a small and fugitive faction within Judaism, grew, thrived and finally "conquered" the empire that had sought to exterminate it. Then, over many centuries and in many lands, it became the vital source from which new civilizations sprang. At times, its geographical range expanded mightily, at others contracted perilously. At times, the church proved heroically true to its deepest moral principles; at others, inexcusably traitorous to them.But, by the beginning of the 21st century, this faith that began in such fragility, and that became so powerful--even though its temporal power has now receded in its historic homelands--is the most widespread and diverse of all religions. Christianity is rapidly taking root in cultures very different from those in which it was born and in which it once flourished, and is assuming configurations that could not have been anticipated a century ago.In The Story of Christianity, the distinguished theologian David Bentley Hart provides a broad picture of Christian history. Presented in 50 short chapters--each focusing on a critical facet of Christian history or theology, and each amplified by timelines, quotations, and color images--his magisterial ...

Phish: The Baker's Dozen. Madison Square Garden 21 July - 6 August 2017 - Brent Waltz

On Stage: Phish - The Baker''s Dozen provides an in-depth exploration of Phish’s monumental 13-night residency at Madison Square Garden in 2017. Phish, a celebrated jam band with a dedicated following, performed 237 unique songs without any repeats across these shows, each night themed around a donut flavour (such as ‘Strawberry’ or ‘Jam-Filled’). The book reflects on the atmosphere, fan community, and musical experimentation that marked the event. By acknowledging the cultural and experiential impact of Phish''s concerts—and emphasizing the communal and improvisational nature of their music—the book discusses Phish''s commitment to their audience and the spontaneity of their live shows. Each chapter covers specific nights and songs, detailing the setlists, the fan experience, and how these performances exemplified Phish''s blend of planned setlists and improvisation. This positions The Baker’s Dozen as a culmination of the band’s ethos and creative evolution. By contextualizing Phish''s influences, such as the Grateful Dead, David Bowie and the Talking Heads, this book provides insight into how these inspirations are reflected in Phish''s performances and captures the spontaneity of their music, their loyal fan base, and the transformative nature of live performance.

The Artificial Silk Girl - Keun Irmgard, Kathie von Ankum

In 1931, a young writer named Irmgard Keun was inspired by Anita Loos''s Gentlemen Prefer Blondes to describe pre-war Berlin and the age of cinematic glamour through the eyes of a woman. The resulting novel, The Artificial Silk Girl, became an acclaimed bestseller and a masterwork of German literature, in the tradition of Christopher Isherwood''s Berlin Stories and Bertolt Brecht''s Three Penny Opera. Like Isherwood and Brecht, Keun revealed the dark underside of Berlin''s ''golden twenties'' with empathy and honesty. Unfortunately, a Nazi censorship board banned Keun''s work in 1933 and destroyed all existing copies of The Artificial Silk Girl. Only one English translation was published, in Great Britain, before the book disappeared in the chaos of the ensuing war.

The Mortal and Immortal Life of the Girl from Milan - Domenico Starnone

“Starnone uses languages the way a great painter works with colour.” —Jhumpa Lahiri“One of Italy’s most accomplished novelists.” —The Guardian Imagine a child, a daydreamer, always gazing out of the window. His grandmother, busy in the kitchen, keeps an eye on him. The child stares at a balcony on the opposite building, watching the black-haired girl as she dances her reckless dance. For a love like this, a child can push himself to extreme feats. He can turn into explorer or cabin boy, cowboy or castaway; he can fight duels to the death, or even master an unfamiliar language. His grandmother is not articulate, but does not lack imagination, and her love for the boy is immeasurable. She tells him about the entrance to the underworld, engraving indelible images in her nephew’s mind. An irresistible book, as sharp as the swords of fantasy hidden under the bed, as precious as a family jewel, in which the discovery of love and the discovery of death follow each other, marking the end of childhood.
