Unlocking the Secrets of the Deep Sea

**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 ... Changes our entire view of trees' ROBIN LANE FOX, Financial Times Gardening Columnist 'Full of wonder and revelation' SUE STUART-SMITH, author of The Well Gardened Mind 'Captivating' COUNTRY LIFE 'Profoundly inventive' INDEPENDENT 'A magisterial tour de force - destined to become a classic' BEN RAWLENCE, author of The Treeline

ONE OF NEW SCIENTIST'S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR SO FAR In How Flowers Made Our World, biologist David George Haskell redefines our understanding of flowers, casting them as powerful revolutionaries at the heart of Earth's story. 'Flowering plants as you've never seen them before ... Science writing with sensuality, sensitivity and soul.' - Cal Flyn, author of Islands of Abandonment 'Vividly written. David George Haskell shows how the most trivialized part of the natural world is among its most powerful and essential.' - Rebecca Solnit, author of Orwell's Roses 'David George Haskell's great strength as a writer is that he is open to surprise. He regards the planet as a strange and beautiful place. How Flowers Made Our World is at once closely observed, richly reported, and mind-blowing.' - Elizabeth Kolbert, author of The Sixth Extinction Far from being mere ornaments, flowers have shaped the very fabric of life on our planet. Their evolution triggered a cascade of biodiversity, transforming oceans, creating new habitats, and even altering the climate. Their beauty turned adversaries into allies, and their adaptability turned environmental upheavals into opportunities for renewal. Weaving together vivid storytelling, lyrical writing, and cutting-edge science, Haskell illuminates flowers as portals into deep time and essential players in our ecological future. He reveals how flowers built and sustained ecosystems from rainforests to prairies and have been pivotal in the evolution of species like butterflies, bees, and birds. He also uncovers their crucial role in human history, as cultural emblems, keys to scientific leaps, and evolutionary catalysts, with flowering grasses calling our ancestors to leave the trees, laying the foundation for agriculture and modern civilization. From lessons in resilience and creativity found among gardeners' favourites, such as magnolias, orchids, and roses, to rediscovering lesser-known wonders, like our uncelebrated underwater meadows that sustain life and the secrets of our most humble wildflowers, How Flowers Made Our World invites readers to see these blooms in a whole new light-as the dynamic and influential forces they truly are. 'In this dazzling book, scintillating with wonder and scholarship, Haskell shows us how flowers - so often belittled and misunderstood, have shaped ecology, and so shaped us. Flowers are tectonic, and here is a book worthy of them.' - Charles Foster, author of The Edges of the World 'Joyful ... brimming with curiosity, humour, and crystal-clear scientific delights. How Flowers Made Our World is a celebration of the inventiveness of floral life.' - Zoë Schlanger, author of The Light Eaters

The Story of Nature's Revolutionaries

How Flowers Made Our World

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Braiding Sweetgrass, an inspiring vision of how to reorient our lives around gratitude, reciprocity and community As Indigenous scientist and author of Braiding Sweetgrass Robin Wall Kimmerer harvests serviceberries alongside the birds, she considers the ethic of reciprocity that lies at the heart of the gift economy. How, she asks, can we learn from Indigenous wisdom and the plant world to reimagine what we value most? Our economy is rooted in scarcity, competition, and the hoarding of resources, and we have surrendered our values to a system that actively harms what we love. Meanwhile, the serviceberry's relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity, interconnectedness, and gratitude. The tree distributes its wealth-its abundance of sweet, juicy berries-to meet the needs of its natural community. And this distribution ensures its own survival. The Serviceberry is an antidote to the broken relationships and misguided goals of our times, and a reminder that "hoarding won't save us, all flourishing is mutual."

The science of dreams and nightmares - and their astonishing impact on our waking lives. Dreams slip away when we wake, their remnants jumbled and only half-recalled. Some leave behind surreal sensations or bursts of creativity. Others leave us shaken. But why do we dream at all? How do our bodies interface with our brains while we sleep? Why do some dreams go bad? And how can we harness our sleeping minds to improve our waking lives? Pioneering researcher in sleep medicine Dr Michelle Carr unlocks the science behind the sleeping body. Drawing on her expertise in nightmares, lucid dreaming and the cutting-edge field of dream engineering, she reveals how we can revolutionise our sleeping - and waking - health.

This book offers a paradigm-shifting exploration of lawmaking for the complex interactions between Earth systems and outer space. Drawing on complex systems science, posthuman approaches, and plural ontologies, the author proposes a reimagining of law and governance for the cosmic age. Through the "cosmolegal" perspective, this study embraces the inherent uncertainties and complexities of Earth-space interactions. From Arctic methane craters to orbital debris, the book weaves together scientific insights, landscape architecture, legal theory, and doctrine to address pressing environmental challenges that span Earth and beyond.While legal scholarship has increasingly engaged with Earth System Science, it typically treats outer space as distinct from Earth's environment. However, Earth's existence and complex systems are fundamentally intertwined with and emerge from outer space. This book argues that a legal framework for Earth's systems needs to include outer space.At its core, the book advocates for a "complexification" of law, calling for greater epistemic humility in legal thought and practice. Thoughtful and provocative, this work invites readers to reconsider fundamental assumptions about law, nature, and agency beyond the human in an era of planetary change. The cosmolegal approach aims to shift legal imagination and understanding, positioning human law as just one of many actors within the cosmos.This original work will appeal to scholars of legal theory and environmental law, as well as those interested in posthumanism, ecology, and materialism.

We know that we must change ourselves and the world if we want to survive. So why do we cling to old habits and false certainties instead of embracing change now? In New Beginnings, Stefan Klein delves into the most pressing problems facing our world - from the climate crisis to the rapid development of artificial intelligence - and investigates why individuals and societies often resist necessary changes, despite knowing the risks of inaction. Blending scientific insights with vivid storytelling, Klein unpacks the psychological and social forces that keep us stuck, and identifies what he calls the 'seven illusions about progress' that hinder our ability to adapt. Central to his analysis is the idea that transformation is not only necessary but also achievable, provided we understand the mechanisms of change and embrace a mindset that values adaptability. New Beginnings stands out for its ability to make complex global challenges comprehensible and relatable. With his trademark clarity and optimism, Klein inspires belief that necessary change is not only possible but accessible for a sustainable future.

Vom Ursprung zur ersten Zelle - eine neue Theorie zur Entstehung des Lebens
 Eine der größten Fragen der Wissenschaft könnte bald beantwortet werden: Wie und unter welchen Bedingungen entstand das Leben auf der Erde? Plausible Szenarien für die ersten Schritte zum Leben lassen sich nur beschreiben, wenn Entstehungsort und Bedingungen ausreichend bekannt sind. Aus geologischer Sicht boten wassergefüllte Spalten in der frühen kontinentalen Erdkruste ideale Voraussetzungen.
Der Erstautor nimmt die Leser mit auf seine persönliche Reise zur Antwort auf die vielleicht größte Frage der Biologie. Er zeigt, wie die Puzzleteile der Lebensentwicklung zusammenpassen, und berichtet von seinen Erfahrungen in diesem komplexen Forschungsfeld. Während die ersten sieben Kapitel der&nbsp;2. Auflage überarbeitet wurden, ist das achte Kapitel vollständig neu. Es verknüpft bekannte Fakten logisch und zeigt einen möglichen Weg zur Speicherung genetischer Information in einer ersten Zelle.
Kapitel 9 und 10 ergänzen Beiträge von Christian Mayer. Er eröffnet eine grundlegende Diskussion über die Definition „Was ist Leben?“, indem er die Beziehung von Ordnung und Komplexität in den Fokus rückt.
 Die Autoren Ulrich C. Schreiber (i.R.) war Professor für Geologie an der Universität Duisburg-Essen. Seine Schwerpunkte in klassischer Geologie, Vulkanologie und Tektonik verband er früh mit ökologischen Fragestellungen bis hin zur tiefen Biosphäre.
Christian Mayer ist offiziell im Ruhestand, forscht aber weiterhin als Professor für Physikalische Chemie an der Universität Duisburg-Essen. Seine Schwerpunkte sind selbstorganisierende molekulare Prozesse und präbiotische Chemie.

Eine der größten Fragen der Wissenschaft steht vielleicht in naher Zukunft vor der Aufklärung.Wie und in welchem Umfeld ist das Leben auf der Erde entstanden?Plausible Szenarien für die ersten Schritte auf dem Weg zum Leben können nur dann ausreichend beschrieben werden, wenn der Umgebungsraum bekannt ist, in dem die Entwicklungen stattgefunden haben. Aus geologischer Sicht boten beste Voraussetzungen für die Entstehung der ersten Zellen tief reichende, wassergefüllte Spalten der frühen kontinentalen Erdkruste, die auch heute noch alle Anforderungen für eine komplexe organische Chemie erfüllen.
 Der Erstautor nimmt seine Leser mit auf seine ganz persönliche Reise hin zur Antwort auf die vielleicht größte Frage der Biologie. So erklärt er nicht nur, wie die einzelnen Puzzleteile der Entwicklung des Lebens zusammenpassen, sondern berichtet über seine persönlichen Erfahrungen in diesem schwierigen Forschungsfeld. Während die ersten sieben Kapitel in der 
 2. Auflage 
 nur überarbeitet wurden, ist das achte Kapitel vollständig neu konzipiert. Hierin wird in einer logischen Verknüpfung der bislang bekannten Fakten unter Berücksichtigung heutiger biochemischer Zusammenhänge ein Weg aufgezeigt, der zur Speicherung genetischer Informationen in einer ersten Zelle geführt haben kann.
 Mit Kap. 9 und 10 sind zwei zusätzliche Beiträge von Christian Mayer ergänzt. Hierin eröffnet er eine grundlegende Diskussion über die Definition "Was ist Leben", indem er die Beziehung von Ordnung und Komplexität in den Mittelpunkt stellt. Darüber hinaus beschreibt er die Bedeutung periodisch auftretender Einflüsse auf die gesamte Entwicklung des Lebens.&nbsp;

Das Geheimnis um die erste Zelle

A NEW SCIENTIST PICK FOR 2026 'Won't just shift your perspective but rather catapult it into another dimension' GAIA VINCE What if the present moment - the 'now' we all inhabit - isn't just a tick of the clock? We feel that the present is everything; all we can know. Yet physics finds no universal 'now'. To explore what a moment really is, In Search of Now draws on state-of-the-art discoveries in neuroscience, psychology, cosmology and quantum physics, revealing a dynamic, creative process in which we all play a part. Jo Marchant shows how we each carve out our lived experience - sensations and emotions, actions and decisions - through our interactions with the world. Far from being an illusion or a mere slice of time, she argues that this evolving, interconnected tapestry is the source of our lives and selves, and perhaps even reality itself. Join Jo to explore the secrets of how our lives really unfold - and rediscover the creative power of 'now'. 'Illuminating . . . will change the way you think' CLAUDIA HAMMOND 'Fascinating' Mail on Sunday

'Eric Schlosser changed the way we ate' Guardian 'Irresistible . . . frighteningly convincing . . . channelling the spirits of Upton Sinclair and Rachel Carson' San Francisco Chronicle This landmark work of reportage exposed how a handful of fast-food giants came to dominate America and remake the world in their image: eroding wages, damaging consumers' health and wrecking the environment. From talking to workers at meatpacking plants with shocking safety records to revealing the tactics used to target ever-younger customers, Eric Schlosser's blend of humane storytelling and meticulous research encouraged millions to question the industrial food system, and to rethink the way they eat.

Brainjacking takes us on a journey through advertising and marketing's attempts to understand and influence our thoughts and desires, from the earliest billboards to the technologies of the future. To discover how science intersects with our desires and decisions, the book pulls together three strands that have a huge impact on our lives: advertising, how much privacy we can and should have in the new electronic world, and how to draw the line between information and influence. With Brian Clegg as your guide, this is a book that will help you unpick the insidious world of brainjacking. Expertly pulling together different strands on disparate topics including AI, Big Data, subliminal advertising and more, this essential investigation shows how new and old technology and science can be combined to influence human behaviour and beliefs.
