The Chemistry and Technology of Petroleum

A gripping journey into the twisting moral maze of the twentieth century - a journey to uncover a radioactive family secret'The best book I've read in the past year . . . A masterpiece' Financial TimesJoe Dunthorne never met his great-grandfather Siegfried: an eccentric Jewish scientist who escaped Nazi Berlin in the 1930s and snuck back under cover of night to rescue the family heirlooms. Decades later, Siegfried wrote about his adventures in a memoir so long and rambling that almost no one ever managed to read it. Decades after that, his great-grandson Joe unearthed the dusty manuscript and got a nasty surprise. Because hidden on page 1,692 of the unreadable memoir was a shocking confession . . .'A voyage into the heart of twentieth-century darkness [...] narrated with the twists and turns of a detective story' ObserverSHORTLISTED FOR WALES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2026 SHORTLISTED FOR THE TLS ACKERLEY PRIZE 2026

AS HEARD ON BBC RADIO 4 START THE WEEK 'A hymn to chemistry'. Tom Sutcliffe, BBC Radio 4 Start the Week 'Nowhere have I seen chemistry described so lucidly, comprehensively and made so fun.' Jim Al-Khalili 'This book will change how you see the world.' The Hon. Julia Gillard AC, 27th Prime Minister of Australia 'A brilliant book.' Baroness Mannigham-Buller All around us are ever-evolving strings of chain reactions, of bonds forged and broken, of connections made and unmade in less than the blink of an eye. In Chain Reaction, Professor Ijeoma Uchegbu dives into the chemistry that underpins our everyday existence. With warmth and personal anecdotes about the chemistry that has shaped her life, Uchegbu takes us on a journey exploring how our bodies are held together by weak chemical bonds, how our constituent molecules start to break up once our heart stops beating, how our food is stitched together by a careful exploitation of chemical bonds at the interface between water and oil, and exactly what the fibres in our clothes are made of. To be human is to be a walking chemical reaction, as our individual cells are all powered by careful co-ordination of chemistry. From hairdressing disasters and laundry mishaps to life-saving medicines and kitchen experiments, this eye-opening book reveals that chemical processes are all around us, defining our interactions with the world we live in. This is a story that's both universal and personal, grand and intimate, and it will change the way you see everything.

Nature wants to heal, and we can help.'Must read: Nature's Echo is the scientific basis for optimism, showing that true regeneration is within our grasp.' The Edge, U2'Earth-restoring and life-affirming with a vital message for our times. Dive in.' Kate Raworth, author of Doughnut EconomicsWhen Earth's ecosystems fall out of harmony, the damage can spiral out of control. But what if we could help nature to regain its balance?As a leading ecologist, Professor Thomas Crowther studies not just how species work in isolation, but how complex ecosystems regulate themselves. When nature's cycles are allowed to build momentum, each species can create the conditions to allow others to thrive. From the birth of galaxies to the creation of life, the greatest transformations in our universe have been driven by quiet, self-reinforcing processes known as feedback loops. Drawing on cutting-edge ecological science, gripping personal narrative and initiatives already happening around the world, Nature's Echo shows how natural feedback loops have astonishing power to rebound, even with minor intervention. If we can only realize how integral we are to this highly interconnected natural world, we will re-discover the path to a better future.'A vital, hope-filled manifesto for regenerating our planet.' HRH Princess Esmeralda of Belgium 'Crowther offers insights that are wide-ranging and compelling . . . Nature's Echo's identifies a shift in perspective' Spectator

Nature's Echo

Pathology of Wildlife and Zoo Animals, Second Edition is the much-anticipated update to the leading resource on the study of diseases in non-domestic species. The book offers comprehensive coverage of the pathology of wildlife and zoo species, including a wide scope of animals, disease types and geographic regions. Chapters include information on performing necropsies, proper techniques to meet the specialized needs of forensic cases, laboratory diagnostics, and an introduction to basic principles of comparative clinical pathology. The taxon-based chapters provide information about diseases in related groups of animals and include descriptions of gross and histologic lesions, pathogenesis and diagnostics. For each group of animals, notable, unique, gross and microscopic anatomical features are provided to further assist the reader in deciding whether differences from the domestic animal paradigm are "normal." Additional online content, which includes text, images and whole scanned glass slides of selected conditions expand the published material thus resulting in a comprehensive approach to the topic.
