To appreciate the wonders of the world around us, we’re often told to look up. But what if we need to look down instead? Everything that happens below ground sustains all life above it – yet we rarely think about this mysterious, dark underland. In this work, soil ecologist Frank Ashwood scratches the surface and takes us on an eye-opening safari through this precious ecosystem, from the ancient forests of New Zealand to the vast black soil deposits of the US and China. Every layer of the pedosphere is a world of its own, each more alien than the last as we travel deeper into the Earth. The ground beneath our feet hums with a staggering abundance of winding roots, interconnecting fungal networks, wriggling creatures and mind-blowing microbial life. This hidden ecosystem is the single most biodiverse habitat on the planet.

For over 10,000 years, we humans have been busy altering our environment and embracing ‘progress’, evolving seamlessly from hunter gatherers to the modern urban sophisticates we see ourselves as today. But what are the ideas and inventions that enabled humanity to become, by the early 21st century, a majority urban species for the first time? How did the essential infrastructure of modern life – the innovations that we barely even notice, but without which our world would fall apart – actually come to be? With his characteristic wit and boundless curiosity, Jonn Elledge invites us to join him on a fascinating and often surprising tour of the ideas and technologies that made modernity possible. From elevators to electric lighting, parks to pedestrian crossings, he guides us through the history of civilisation itself.

In December 1936 King Edward VIII made history when he abdicated the British throne. The orthodox story is that he gave up his crown to marry Wallis Simpson, who the establishment deemed unsuitable to become Queen. But now historian Siân Evans suggests instead that a visit that the King made, in November 1936, to the distressed areas of South Wales was the tipping point that led to the abdication. Edward VIII’s public sympathy for the unemployed, many of whom had fought alongside him in the Great War, caused him to overstep his constitutional role by drifting into politics. Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin was determined that he had to go, and he used the King’s clandestine relationship with Mrs Simpson as the means to replace him. This book explores the private motivations and public actions of the reluctant new King, month by month, from the death of his father George V, through to his abdication and the accession of his brother George

Since his marriage ended, Desmond Leaks has been stuck in rut. But living alone does have some upsides – for one, there’s no one to tell him that he’s ‘not allowed’ chocolate spread on his toast. And for Leona Lennox, a fresh start might just mean she can finally open that rescue centre for abandoned dogs she’s always dreamed of. That’s if she can learn to let people in occasionally – and accept help. Take this Desmond guy, he’s so nice that he’s offering to get his old band back together to play some fundraising gigs for the rescue centre. If only Leona could say yes, just this once. The Stray Dogs might actually be decent, right? But the band haven’t played together in years, and if they have any chance of making this work, Desmond will have to track down charismatic frontman Darcus McGuire. But how do you find someone who doesn’t want to be found?
