Spring, summer, autumn, winter: the natural world tells the same familiar story year in, year out. But how well do we really understand the seasons? The sun, moon, stars, plants, fungi, animals, water and weather all reflect seasonal changes back to us. We all notice the flowers of spring, the longer days of summer and the colours of autumn. But there’s so much more. Spring is the time of meteor showers, unique cloud shapes and secret woodland sounds. Summer is a time of sky shadows, strange silences and one-off colours. Autumn is laced with curious animal behaviour and warm water phenomena. And in winter we expect ice – but can we read the clues it holds? ‘The Hidden Seasons’ will inspire readers to go outdoors to see these signs for themselves, gifting them so many rich insights into our turning year. The seasons will never look the same again!
‘The Traveller’ spreads out before us the life and times of George Forster, who journeyed to the far reaches of the known world, and whose radical ideas about humanity, equality and freedom challenged the worldviews of 18th-century Europe. Andrea Wulf paints a picture of a man of profound curiosity and brilliance. He joined Cook’s second voyage at the age of 17, an exploration of vast contrasts from the icy world of Antarctica to tropical islands of the South Pacific. Studying the diverse nature, peoples and cultures he encountered, he came back imbued with a deep belief in the equality of races – an understanding far ahead of his time. On his return he was feted in England, France, Germany and Poland, using his fame to advocate for freedom and women’s rights and against empire, racism and slavery.
