  Echoes From the Deep - The...

  On May 1, 1915, the majestic RMS Lusitania departed from New York, bound for Liverpool, navigating through the escalating tensions of a war-torn Europe. Just six days later, the Cunard liner met a tragic fate, sinking into the depths of the Atlantic after being struck by a German torpedo. The catastrophe claimed the lives of over a thousand passengers, sending shockwaves across the world and profoundly influencing the American stance on World War I. 
  At the heart of this investigation lies a provocative thesis: the tragic loss of life on the Lusitania was not merely a consequence of wartime hostilities but was exacerbated by decisions and actions that could have been averted. Through detailed analysis, the book questions the accountability of the captain and crew, challenging readers to reconsider the extent to which their actions — or inactions — contributed to the disaster. 
  But this story is not confined to the ill-fated ship alone. "Echoes From the Deep" also examines the broader ramifications of the Lusitania's sinking on American public opinion. The tragedy stirred a powerful emotional response, turning the tide of sentiment and drawing the United States closer to joining the global conflict.  
  Blending historical rigor with compelling storytelling, "Echoes From the Deep" explores tragedy, responsibility, and the complex interplay between individual actions and larger historical forces. This book is essential for history enthusiasts, maritime scholars, and anyone intrigued by the profound impact of the Lusitania disaster on the American war effort.

  The Parting of the Sea - How...

  “[Sivertsen] has done an exceptional job of digging into the wide variety of fields relevant to understanding the Exodus. A superb and stunning book.” ―Paul and Elizabeth Barber, authors of When They Severed Earth from Sky 
   
  For more than four decades, biblical experts have tried to place the story of Exodus into historical context—without success. What could explain the Nile turning to blood, insects swarming the land, and the sky falling to darkness? Integrating biblical accounts with substantive archaeological evidence, The Parting of the Sea looks at how natural phenomena shaped the stories of Exodus, the Sojourn in the Wilderness, and the Israelite conquest of Canaan. Barbara Sivertsen demonstrates that the Exodus was in fact two separate exoduses both triggered by volcanic eruptions—and provides scientific explanations for the ten plagues and the parting of the Red Sea. Over time, Israelite oral tradition combined these events into the Exodus narrative known today. 
   
  Skillfully unifying textual and archaeological records with details of ancient geological events, Sivertsen shows how the first exodus followed a 1628 B.C.E Minoan eruption that produced all but one of the first nine plagues. The second exodus followed an eruption of a volcano off the Aegean island of Yali almost two centuries later, creating the tenth plague of darkness and a series of tsunamis that “parted the sea” and drowned the pursuing Egyptian army. Sivertsen’s brilliant account explains inconsistencies in the biblical story, fits chronologically with the conquest of Jericho, and confirms that the Israelites were in Canaan before the end of the sixteenth century B.C.E. 
   
  In examining oral traditions and how these practices absorb and process geological details through storytelling, The Parting of the Sea reveals how powerful historical narratives are transformed into myth.

  Feral Borough

  Set in the urban pastoral of an East London postcode, Feral Borough asks what it means to call a place home, and how best to share that home with its non-human inhabitants. Meryl Pugh reimagines the wild as 'feral', recording the fauna and flora of Leytonstone in prose as incisive as it is lyrical. Here, on the edge of the city, red kite and parakeets thrive alongside bluebell and yarrow, a muntjac deer is glimpsed in the undergrowth, and an escaped boa constrictor appears on the High Road. In this subtle, captivating book – part herbarium, part bestiary and part memoir – Pugh explores the effects of loss, and lockdown, on human well-being, conjuring the local urban environment as a site for healing and connection.
  'A subtle, heartfelt and affecting book about home, the city and the self -- Pugh reminds us that nowhere, however urban, is without nature; that wherever we go, the intricate web of life continues to shape and change us.' Rebecca Tamás
