“The Owl and the Nightingale,” one of the earliest literary works in Middle English, is a lively, anonymous comic poem about two birds who embark on a war of words in a wood, with a nearby poet reporting their argument in rhyming couplets, line by line and blow by blow.
In this engaging and energetic verse translation, Simon Armitage captures the verve and humor of this dramatic tale with all the cut and thrust of the original.
The geological processes that underlie all life on Earth can seem intimidatingly vast, ancient, and sometimes even alien.
Our planet’s dynamics have fascinated humans for millennia, yet only recently have we developed a clear picture of how they work.
This book presents the discoveries and critical scientific advances that inform our understanding of Earth’s origins and the forces driving geological change.
Each chapter tells a key piece of the story, focusing on a major aspect of geology that shapes how we experience our world.
