The Healing Power of Trees The definitive guide to forest bathing Olga Terebenina, Gary Evans and The Forest Bathing Institute Leaping Hare Press 9781836000068 August 7, 2025 £20.00 • Hardcover • 224 Pages 18.9 cm Wdth | 24.6 cm Lgth

Forest Bathing is more than just a walk in the woods. It is the practice of mindfully reconnecting with nature using the five senses, and there is a huge and growing body of evidence attesting to its many health benefits, which include reducing blood pressure, lowering stress, improving cardiovascular and metabolic health, and increasing anti-cancer protein production.

The Forest Bathing Institute, supported by patron Dame Judy Dench, has been championing this practice for several years. Now, for the first time, its founders share their 'Forest Bathing +' method in this lush and definitive guide.

Endlessly informative and with beautiful photographs, The Healing Power of Trees not only helps you plan your next forest bathing trip, it also brings some of the benefits of communing with nature into your own home.

The Forest Bathing Institute (TFBI) was founded by Gary Evans and Olga Terebenina, who set out to advance the Japanese practice of Forest Bathing in the UK, and started a programme of research dedicated to replicating the original physiological research carried out in Japan. TFBI has now grown to over 50 guides across the UK and established links with over 20 universities. The Institute, alongside its patron Judi Dench, also works hard to raise awareness of the effectiveness of Forest Bathing+.

With The Folklore of Birds you can discover the fascinating folklore behind nature’s most intriguing animals.

At once familiar and unknowable, birds have for centuries provided a rich source of speculation and myth-making. From the Catholic belief that barnacle geese were actually fish (and could therefore be eaten on the Sabbath) to the Ancient Greek tale of Ceyx and Halcyone who were transformed into kingfishers after death as reward for their fidelity, our feathered friends have given rise to an astonishingly rich body of myth, legend and superstition.

With its interesting titbits and curious facts coupled with breathtakingly beautiful illustrations, The Folklore of Birds is charming, quirky gift for the birdwatcher in your life.

Alison Davies lives in Nottingham and runs workshops at universities throughout the UK showing academics, students and early years practitioners how stories and narratives can be used as tools for teaching, healing and learning. She has a keen interest in folklore, health and wellbeing and the esoteric and is the author of Tales Behind the Tarot and Goddess Stories (Leaping Hare Press).

It encompasses the surveilling of corrupt police officers, serving as head of a murder squad on Operation Trident, and investigating acts of terrorism in his final years of public service.

Turmoil is a powerful first-hand account of what it's like to serve on the biggest police force in the UK, revealing uncomfortable truths about modern policing and the enduring racism across the Met.

Determined to make every second count, he began a courageous journey that would lead him to the unlikeliest of places: the icy, unforgiving waters of the Isle of Skye. Guided by Matt Rhodes, The Viking of Skye, Rich discovered that the biting cold, the relentless waves, and the untamed currents of cold water swimming were more than just physical challenges: they were a metaphor for the unpredictability of life itself.

Through the pages of this moving memoir, you will find inspiration to confront your own challenges, a renewed appreciation for the beauty of the natural world, and a profound belief in the resilience of the human heart and the transformative power of courage.

Memoir and Narrative Non-Fiction

All Roads Lead to Rome Why we think about the Roman Empire daily

Rhiannon Garth Jones Aurum 9781836002956 June 5, 2025 £18.99 • Hardcover • 336 Pages 21.6 cm H | 15.3 cm W | 749.8 g Wt

Rome isn't just a city—it's an idea, a symbol of identity, power, and legitimacy that has influenced the world for over 1,500 years.

Look around, and you’ll find echoes of Rome everywhere—in our art, architecture, languages, laws, politics, and even in cultural phenomena as diverse as "Star Wars," Silicon Valley's stoicism, and the rise of the counterculture Goths. Rome’s influence is so pervasive that in 2023, one of the year’s biggest internet trends posed the question: “Do you think about the Roman Empire daily?”

But it's not just the ancient Rome we think about; it's the countless reinterpretations of what Rome represents. From being reinterpreted and repackaged throughout history to shaping the ongoing identity crises in the USA, UK, and EU, and the "clash of civilizations" between the West and Russia, and the West and Islam, Rome's relevance remains unchallenged.

This book delves into Rome's enduring legacy, divided into three themes: religion, empire, and culture. It explores Rome's history, rule, and the ever-changing interpretations that have kept Rome significant across centuries. By understanding Rome, we can better understand our world today.

Rhiannon Garth Jones is an historian who works with both material culture and textual sources, with a PhD on the Muslim visual language of power and relationship with Rome during the “Golden Age” of Islam. Since her undergraduate degree in Classics, Rhiannon's research has traced the impact of ancient Rome on cultures, empires, and religions around the Mediterranean and beyond.

Ivy Press 9780711298484 March 6, 2025 £30.00 • Hardcover • 240 Pages 24.8 cm Wdth | 30.5 cm Lgth

This is a unique and compelling history guide to some of the classic grand prix tracks, paired with vintage images from the same viewpoint today to show how dramatically Formula One has changed – and not just the circuits, but all aspects of the sport.

In the 1950s, all that prevented cars from entering Monaco Harbour were some straw bales, there was no pitlane, and races weren’t stopped for burning cars. This book includes historic aspects of F1 – such as Montjuïc Park, the site of the former Barcelona Grand Prix, illustrates what can happen when the tech gets out of control, with two cataclysmic failures of the high aerofoil wings over the bumpy surface, dumping Graham Hill and Jochen Rindt into the barriers at the same spot.

Then & now match-ups of well-known current circuits, such as Monaco, Spa, Zandvoort, Imola, and Silverstonealong with famous tracks that are currently ‘race fit’ but off the calendar, such as Hockenheim and Nurburgring, as well as circuits that will never run an F1 race again and have been swallowed up by nature, such as Rouen and Reim.

Ewan McKenzie is a writer and former F1 journalist and editor. He has worked as an F1 website producer and contributed to a variety of motoring magazines including a spell as deputy editor of F1 Racing magazine.
