To achieve fossil fuel independence, few technologies are more
important than batteries. Used for powering zero-emission vehicles,
storing electricity from solar panels and wind turbines, and
revitalizing the electric grid, batteries are essential to scaling
up the renewable energy resources that help address global warming.
But given the unique environmental impact of batteries—including
mining, disposal, and more—does a clean energy transition risk
trading one set of problems for another? In Charged, James Morton
Turner unpacks the history of batteries to explore why solving "the
battery problem" is critical to a clean energy transition. As
climate activists focus on what a clean energy future will
create—sustainability, resiliency, and climate justice—the
history of batteries offers a sharp reminder of what building that
future will consume: lithium, graphite, nickel, and other
specialized materials. With new insight on the consequences for
people and communities on the front lines, Turner draws on the past
for crucial lessons that will help us build a just and clean energy
future, from the ground up.
Once a "lost" artisan bread, we're now eating more sourdough than
ever before. People are choosing the tastier, more natural
alternative over processed white bread, and many want to bake their
own. And for homebakers, sourdough is the true test of every
aspiring bread-maker. Fickle, delicate, every loaf is unique. And
there are a LOT of pitfalls to be avoided. It's much more than
simply a food: sourdough is a science. So who better than Dr James
Morton, baking pedant and fermentation fanatic, to explain the
basics for both the uninitiated and more experienced bakers? James
talks the home cook through everything from starters, flours and
hydration, to kneading, shaping, rising, slashing and baking,
explaining how to achieve the perfect crust and crumb. With more
than 40 sourdough recipes including basic loaves and rolls,
baguettes, bagels and buns, clear step-by-step instructions,
troubleshooting tips and explanations of what works and why, Super
Sourdough is the new, accessible handbook that bakers everywhere
have been waiting for.
This book was written with the novice percussionist in mind. No
previous musical experience is required to constructively make your
way through this self-instruction course. Basic rhythm reading
principles and fills are illustrated and discussed. Drumming
concepts are introduced progressively, so that; provided you stay
with it; you will gain a solid foundation for drumming technique
and overall musicianship.
Not long ago, Republicans could take pride in their party's
tradition of environmental leadership. In the late 1960s and early
1970s, the GOP helped to create the Environmental Protection
Agency, extend the Clean Air Act, and protect endangered species.
Today, as Republicans denounce climate change as a "hoax" and seek
to dismantle the environmental regulatory state they worked to
build, we are left to wonder: What happened? In The Republican
Reversal, James Morton Turner and Andrew C. Isenberg show that the
party's transformation began in the late 1970s, with the emergence
of a new alliance of pro-business, libertarian, and anti-federalist
voters. This coalition came about through a concerted effort by
politicians and business leaders, abetted by intellectuals and
policy experts, to link the commercial interests of big corporate
donors with states'-rights activism and Main Street regulatory
distrust. Fiscal conservatives embraced cost-benefit analysis to
counter earlier models of environmental policy making, and business
tycoons funded think tanks to denounce federal environmental
regulation as economically harmful, constitutionally suspect, and
unchristian, thereby appealing to evangelical views of man's
God-given dominion of the Earth. As Turner and Isenberg make clear,
the conservative abdication of environmental concern stands out as
one of the most profound turnabouts in modern American political
history, critical to our understanding of the GOP's modern success.
The Republican reversal on the environment is emblematic of an
unwavering faith in the market, skepticism of scientific and
technocratic elites, and belief in American exceptionalism that
have become the party's distinguishing characteristics.

London's streets have always worn a variety of influences,
reflecting the diverse crowds who live and work on them. Take a
walk down any number of historic streets and an abundance of tales
exist in the bricks and mortar, waiting to be told. The Hidden
Lives of London's Streets takes the reader on a journey through
Soho, Piccadilly, Mayfair, Knightsbridge, Chelsea, Kensington,
Fitzrovia and Clerkenwell. A street map is provided for each area,
marking out the streets and buildings in which the various
activities - some forgotten, others well-remembered - took place.
Stories include those of courtesans such as the notorious Lola
Montez and Theresa de Cornelys, who gave lavish balls at their home
in Soho Square which were little more than orgies, during which a
man playing the violin while on roller skates crashed through her
plate glass window; Casanova and his quarrel with Marianne
Charpillon after he taught a parrot to say she was a 'whore'; clubs
- great (the Gargoyle), the artistic (Muriel Belcher's Colony), and
the small (Royston Smith's club for dwarves); the police;
robberies; murder and executions; the nightclubs; cinemas and
theatres; the villains and prostitution. Beyond mere gangs and
criminality, the book will trace the social changes that have
gradually unfolded on any given street. For example the
metamorphosis of Old Compton Street as home to race gangs in the
1920s, to becoming an essentially Italian street, to being part of
the gay community.
From Denali's majestic slopes to the Great Swamp of central New
Jersey, protected wilderness areas make up nearly twenty percent of
the parks, forests, wildlife refuges, and other public lands that
cover a full fourth of the nation's territory. But wilderness is
not only a place. It is also one of the most powerful and
troublesome ideas in American environmental thought, representing
everything from sublime beauty and patriotic inspiration to a
countercultural ideal and an overextension of government authority.
The Promise of Wilderness examines how the idea of wilderness has
shaped the management of public lands since the passage of the
Wilderness Act in 1964. Wilderness preservation has engaged diverse
groups of citizens, from hunters and ranchers to wildlife
enthusiasts and hikers, as political advocates who have leveraged
the resources of local and national groups toward a common goal.
Turner demonstrates how these efforts have contributed to major
shifts in modern American environmental politics, which have
emerged not just in reaction to a new generation of environmental
concerns, such as environmental justice and climate change, but
also in response to changed debates over old conservation issues,
such as public lands management. He also shows how battles over
wilderness protection have influenced American politics more
broadly, fueling disputes over the proper role of government,
individual rights, and the interests of rural communities; giving
rise to radical environmentalism; and playing an important role in
the resurgence of the conservative movement, especially in the
American West. Watch the book trailer:

Think you know everything about the Krays? Think again. Britain's
most infamous criminals: the Kray twins. The extent of their
activities has always been uncertain. But now, it is time for the
conclusive account of their story, from their East End beginnings,
to becoming the kingpins of London's underworld. This objective
account, compiled by best-selling crime author and criminal lawyer
James Morton, cuts through the conflicting versions of their
stories and answers burning questions still being asked, 50 years
after their infamous conviction. How was the clergy involved in
evading police action? What was Charlie Kray's true position with
his brothers? Just how many did they kill? Featuring an in-depth
discussion at the supposed claims they killed up to 30, and a deep
dive into the death of champion boxer Freddie Mills, Krays: The
Final Word compiles all previous accounts and then some to find the
truth behind their legendary status. This is the Krays - all fact,
no fiction.
