How Cats Evolved from the Savannah to Your Sofa

**LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION 2026** 'Sublime ... A true masterpiece' DAILY TELEGRAPH, ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ 'Mind-blowing' GUARDIAN 'Wondrous. Gives us trees as we've never seen them before' ISABELLA TREE, author of Wilding The extraordinary story of the inventive and astonishing ways trees have shaped our natural world. Over hundreds of millions of years, from the prehistoric forests to those standing tall over us today, trees have evolved to sculpt the environments. They split rock, change sex, spin carbon, and manipulate bacteria, animals and even humankind to achieve their ends and shape the natural world. In The Genius of Trees, Harriet Rix takes us on a mind-expanding, globe-spanning journey into the remarkable inner lives of trees. For the first time, we see trees not as victims, but as powerful agents of change in a grand ecological narrative - as leading actors in the great drama of life on earth who have transformed our planet and offer us hope for its future. **A TELEGRAPH, COUNTRY LIFE, NEW YORKER AND CRITIC BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025** 'Exceptional ...

Bats of the World

Thousands of years ago, in a part of the world we now call ancient Mesopotamia, people began writing things down for the very first time. In Between Two Rivers, historian Dr Moudhy Al-Rashid reveals the breathtakingly intimate, raw and relatable moments they left behind, like a dog's paw prints as it accidentally stepped into fresh clay, or the adorable, messy writing of preschoolers. We brush hands with an enslaved person negotiating their freedom, an astronomer tracing the movement of the planets, and a working mother struggling with 'the juggle' in 1900 BCE. Together, these fragments illuminate not just the history of Mesopotamia, but the story of how history was made.

We have always looked up at the sky and wondered.The desire to explore and understand what lies beyond us is at the heart of scientific discovery. Ever since the ancient Babylonians tracked celestial objects on clay tablets, the search for meaning in an infinitely vast universe has been a profoundly human pursuit.In this spellbinding book, Dr Sarah Alam Malik takes us on a journey through the discoveries that shaped our perception of the cosmos. From the Earth-centred worldview of Aristotle and the Copernican revolution to Isaac Newton unifying the terrestrial and celestial under the law of gravity. Each breakthrough is a testament to humanity's determination to peek behind the curtain of our world to examine what's underneath.Our ability to imagine and seek out a much grander and more mysterious reality drives us towards an incredible future. From the fiery deaths of faraway suns to the complexities of the subatomic, this is the story of what we've found and how they continue to change us.A Brief History of the Universe (and our place in it)&nbsp;is a fascinating story of discovery and a beautiful celebration of our endless curiosity.

A Brief History of the Universe (and our place in it)

A new paradigm based on quantum probability that can model stock markets and price options—and also upends classical quantitative finance. In The Quantum Stock Market, David Orrell combines theory and new empirical findings to argue for a new approach to finance based on quantum probability. The main finding, a property called q-variance, may be unique in finance in that it was discovered as the result of a prediction, affects financial markets in general, has no tunable parameter, and has important consequences for a range of topics including the pricing of financial options. The property, which somehow eluded detection for over a century, has been verified by experts in the field. And the fact that it is incompatible with classical finance—which is perhaps why it went undetected—suggests that the field must be reinvented. The aim of this book is therefore nothing less than to initiate a paradigm shift in finance. As with any new work that challenges existing methods, the ideas have already received considerable pushback from a range of sources, including leaders in the field of finance, along with physicists skeptical of applying quantum probability outside its traditional domain. Written in an interdisciplinary style that mixes mathematical equations, data analysis, and informed comment on the field of finance, it should be read by anyone—including students, academics, and practitioners—who wants to be on the right side of a paradigm shift.

And the Road Not Taken in Finance

The Quantum Stock Market

"Astonishing...Brings to life a thriving - and rather civilized - empire" - The Telegraph "sparkles with energy, insight and passion... difficult to put down." Nicholas Morton, BBC History Magazine Control the sea, and you control everything...a gripping tale of dynastic rivalry and innovation, from the author of the classic work Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World. Genghis Khan built a formidable land empire, but he never crossed the sea. Yet by the time his grandson Kublai Khan had defeated the last vestiges of the Song empire and established the Yuan dynasty in 1279, the Mongols controlled the most powerful navy in the world. How did a nomad come to conquer China and master the sea? Based on ten years of research and a lifetime of immersion in Mongol culture and tradition, Emperor of the Seas brings this little-known story vibrantly to life. Kublai Khan is one of history's most fascinating characters. He brought Islamic mathematicians to his court, where they invented modern cartography and celestial measurement. He transformed the world's largest land mass into a unified, diverse and economically progressive empire, introducing paper money. And, after bitter early setbacks, he transformed China into an outward looking sea-faring empire. By the end of his reign, the Chinese were building and supplying remarkable ships to transport men, grain, and weapons over vast distances, of a size and dexterity that would be inconceivable in Europe for hundreds of years. Khan had come to a brilliant realization: control the sea, and you control everything. A master storyteller with an unparalleled grasp of Mongol sources, Jack Weatherford shows how Chinese naval hegemony changed the world forever - revolutionizing world commerce and transforming tastes as far away as England and France.

Studies in Education and Religion in Ancient and Pre-Modern History in the Mediterranean and Its Environs

This volume explores educational practices within the three major monotheistic religions, cultures, traditions, and languages. Through case studies, the contributors illustrate how Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions shaped educational ideals, fostered scholarly communities, and guided students through structured curricula. They examine the role of literate elites in transmitting classical knowledge and patristic authority, and how pedagogical legacies contributed to spiritual development and responded to social and religious crises. Aimed at scholars of history, religion, and humanities, students and general readers, this collection of essays offers valuable insights into the enduring and evolving nature of pedagogical values across diverse historical contexts, and features profiles of influential educators such as rabbis, church fathers, exegetes, mystics, jurists, and polymaths.

"A breath of fresh air in the genre of healing fiction. Boldly exploring the grey areas and struggles of life . . . it left me feeling hopeful that a small step in the right direction is what it takes to make things better" Shanna Tan, translator of Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop "The Blanket Cats is a triumph" Jinwoo Chong, award-winning author of FluxFlux and I Leave It Up to You Is three days with a cat enough to change your life? The troubled and anxious of Tokyo are desperate to find out. They all have their problems - and they all want to believe that a feline companion from a unique pet shop can help them find a solution. But there are rules: they must be returned after three days, and they must always sleep in their own familiar blankets. In The Blanket Cats, we meet seven such customers, including a couple struggling with infertility, a middle-aged woman on the run from the police, and two families in very different circumstances simply seeking joy. But like all their kind, the blanket cats are mysterious creatures with their own unknowable agendas, who delight in confounding expectations. And perhaps what their hosts are looking for isn't what they really need. Three days may not be enough to change your life. But it might be enough to change how you see it. "There's more to the mysterious Blanket Cats than meets the eye. Shigematsu's canny felines are adept at bringing clarity to their temporary owners and giving them a subtle nudge in another - often unexpected - direction" Cat Anderson, translator of The Chibineko Kitchen Translated from the Japanese by Jesse Kirkwood

The Blanket Cats

Why do we love who we love? Why do we stay in unfulfilling relationships, or stray from rewarding ones? Why do some couples crash and burn while others stay madly in love? In The Intimate Animal, Dr Justin Garcia - one of the world's leading experts on the science of love and sex - reveals that the answer to these questions lies in our evolution. We are biologically wired to connect with each other, yet our inner intimate animal is often at odds with the way we live now. Dr Garcia explains the multiplicity of human sexual and romantic behaviour using cutting-edge research from his team of researchers at the world-leading Kinsey Institute, including: - Why we have evolved to live and die for love - Why searching for 'the one' is futile - Why we are wired for 'social monogamy' but not necessarily 'sexual monogamy' - Why some people are more likely to cheat With practical tips on love and lust - the two biological systems often in painful conflict - The Intimate Animal is the essential, research-backed guide for anyone who wants to forge deeper, more intimate connections in these disconnected times. 'Garcia brings us back to the animal inside to remind us that even when connection, love, and desire feel elusive, it's exactly what we're wired for' Esther Perel, bestselling author of Mating in Captivity 'Fascinating and useful' The Telegraph Magazine 'A thoughtful and well-researched treatise' The Sunday Times

The Intimate Animal

Kleine und fragmentarische Historiker der Spätantike

Der Band D 6 innerhalb des Moduls "Profane Zeitgeschichtsschreibung des ausgehenden 4. und 5. Jahrhunderts" enthält eine neue Edition und die erste deutsche Übersetzung der in teils noch umfangreichen Fragmenten erhaltenen Geschichte Eunaps. Diese Geschichte bietet eine tendenziöse Darstellung der Kaisergeschichte von Claudius Gothicus bis Arcadius. Sie nimmt innerhalb der Entwicklung der spätantiken Historiographie eine zentrale Stellung ein, da spätere Autoren, insbesondere Zosimos, aus ihr geschöpft haben, und ist ein herausragendes Zeugnis, wie an der Wende vom vierten zum fünften Jahrhundert der Sieg des Christentums in den paganen intellektuellen Eliten das Bewusstsein einer generalisierten Krise auslöste. Zugleich ist sie trotz ihres fragmentarischen Zustands eines der seltenen Beispiel einer Zeitgeschichte im großen Format und im herodoteisch-thukydideischen Duktus.
