A wild collection of stories that feature the wolf as protagonist, trickster or agent of change. This charismatic creature has always retained a cross-cultural fascination and has shape-shifted itself throughout the ages as persecutor from the shadows, as wily and wise ally on the trail, and now as a totem of hope for the rewilding movement. Wolves have been hunted to extinction in many countries, clung on in isolated populations near human communities, and thrived in remote wildernesses. Theirs is a story of adaptation and survival one that is not yet finished. Once common across Britain, the wolf has long been maligned and persecuted yet also deeply missed. The return of the wolf in this evocative compendium of tales mirrors the growing aspiration to reintroduce this ancient species to Britains recovering wild places. The wolf has roamed through our collective imagination for centuries, weaving its way into traditional narratives from around the world. Known as a shapeshifter, it has appeared in folklore as both hero and trickster, persecutor and protector and today, as a totem of hope for the rewilding movement. Storyteller and outdoorsman Chris Salisbury keeps the spirit of this legendary creature alive in an unforgettable collection of wolfish tales to tell out loud. What a wonderful book. Wolves through a prism of love, understanding and fascination. Derek Gow, author and ecologist Autorid: Chris Salisbury, Bill Plotkin
The raid on the secret rocket research establishment at Peenemünde on the Baltic coast in August 1943 has gone down in history as one of the most successful and remarkable of the war. The site was virtually obliterated, and the Germans forced to move rocket production and development elsewhere. But it came at a terrible cost. More than 40 bombers and 215 RAF aircrew failed to return. After the war, the bodies of many of those who were killed were recovered by the Missing Research and Enquiry Service (MRES) and buried in Commonwealth war graves. But not all. A series of mishaps and miscommunication led the MRES to search in the wrong place. Funds to continue the search dried up. And with the site falling into Russian hands, and access to British and US search parties severely restricted, the search ultimately had to be called off, and the remaining men commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial as having no known grave. But some of the missing men are still there, waiting to be found.With a foreword from Peenemünde raid veteran pilot George Dunn DFC L d'H, and illustrated with a wealth of previously unpublished photographs, Sean Feast and Mike McLeod tell the story of the forgotten graves of Peenemünde, the search to discover the truth about their final resting place, and the chance that their bodies may yet be discovered and returned.

The story of Herbert Martin Massey CBE, DSO, MC, from his flying days in the First World War to life as a prisoner-of-war in the Second World War, and Senior British Officer at the time of the famous Great Escape from Stalag Luft III. Herbert Martin Massey was by any measure, a remarkable man. He was wounded three times in three separate conflicts, the first of which, in the First World War, almost killed him. Brought down in flames by one of Germanys great aces, Werner Voss, he somehow recovered from his horrific, life-threatening injuries to continue his flying career in the Royal Air Force, only to be nearly killed once more in the Palestine Emergency of 1936, when his life was saved by the thin metal of his cigarette case. Then, at the age of 44 and having risen through the ranks to Group Captain, he was shot down over Holland on the second of the Thousand Bomber Raids in June 1942.Massey was taken prisoner by the Germans and sent to Stalag Luft III at Sagan. Here, he was to excel as the Senior British Officer, vigorously defending the rights of his fellow prisoners of war, the men now under his command. Respected and admired by his comrades and captors alike, fate handed to him the decision to authorize the Great Escape, the famous breakout from Sagan in March 1944.Too badly wounded to join the escape himself, Martin Massey was the man to whom the Germans first broke the news of the execution of fifty of those who had been recaptured. Repatriated to Britain because of his wounds shortly afterwards, it was Massey who brought home the details of the murders which began the process of bringing the perpetrators to justice post-war.Decorated for his gallantry and leadership six times, men like Martin Massey come along only rarely. This book, using previously unseen documents and photographs, tells his story. Autorid: Andrew White

Copenhagen is a mysterious city where strange and sinister things often happen. Menacing and at times darkly humorous there are echoes of Roald Dahl and Daphne du Maurier in these stories, many of which have been specially commissioned for BBC Radio 4. From the commuter who bitterly regrets falling asleep on a late-night train in Last Train to Helsingør, to the mushroom hunter prepared to kill to guard her secret in The Chanterelles of Østvig. Here, the land of hygge becomes one of twilight and shadows, as canny antique dealers and property sharks get their comeuppance at the hands of old ladies in Conning Mrs Vinterberg, and ghosts go off-script in The Wailing Girl. Deliciously dark and chilling, this is Nordic Noir at its finest. Autorid: Heidi Amsinck

The trafficking of membrane proteins between cellular compartments is regulated by their cytoplasmic signal sequences that are recognised by adaptor proteins. Adaptor proteins recruit membrane proteins into vesicles that traffic to a specific target organelle. The cation-dependent mannose 6-phosphate receptor (CD-MPR) is a membrane receptor that transports newly synthesised lysosomal enzymes from the trans-Golgi network to the lysosome and is continuously recycled. This work focused on two sorting signals that regulate the intracellular trafficking of the CD-MPR at different cellular locations. Palmitoylation is a post-translational modification that prevents missorting of the CD-MPR to lysosomes. GGA1 and AP-1 adaptor proteins bind to the cytoplasmic tail of the CD-MPR at a signal that overlaps with a phosphorylation site. This dissertation reveals novel aspects of these sorting signals and CD-MPR trafficking.
"Timely, necessary, and hopeful." The Anxious Leader offers a transformative perspective on managing anxiety within leadership roles. Through engaging narratives and practical insights, this book explores the often overlooked but crucial relationship between anxiety and effective leadership. It emphasises how understanding and embracing anxiety can enhance decision-making, foster resilience, and improve team dynamics. Drawing from systems-psychodynamic theory and real-world experiences, it provides tools to navigate the complexities of modern organisational life. Ideal for leaders seeking to thrive in volatile and unpredictable environments, this book redefines anxiety as a powerful asset rather than a hindrance, concluding with a psycho-spiritual twist. "If you're ready to look beneath the surface - if you want to lead with more courage, clarity, and care, especially when the stakes are high - you couldn't be in better hands."

A book of text and image, My Birth interweaves photographs of the artist Carmen Winant’s mother giving birth to her three children with found images of other, anonymous women undergoing the same bodily experience. As the pictorial narrative progresses, from labour through delivery, the women’s postures increasingly blend into one another, creating a collective body that strains and releases in unison.In addition to the photographic sequence, My Birth includes an original text by the artist exploring the shared, yet solitary, ownership of the experience of birth. A facsimile of Winant’s own journal, this book asks: What if birth, long shrouded and parodied by popular culture, was made visible? What if a comfortable and dynamic language existed to describe it? What if, in picturing the process so many times over and insisting on its very subjectivity, we understood childbirth, and its representation, to be a political act?The first edition of this publication coincided with Winant’s on-site installation at the Museum of Modern Art’s 'Being: New Photography 2018’, with both projects conceived of together directly following the birth of the artist’s first child and while she was pregnant with her second.This new edition coincides with the release of the complementary book The Last Safe Abortion.
