We live in the Golden Age of space exploration. Humanity's achievements include the continued operation of the International Space Station, rapid advancements in reusable rockets, and soon, a return to the Moon. Within our lifetime, we might have human outposts on the lunar surface and flags flying on the plains of Mars. These strides are not just about reaching new frontiers. They have profound implications for life on Earth. The data from climate satellites overhead, innovative materials and recycling systems designed for space habitats, and emerging space-based energy solutions are essential to addressing Earth's conservation challenges. Space enables the understanding of Earth as much as Earth enables the exploration of space. This bright tomorrow is not assured, however. Space junk, international conflicts and fiscal calamities loom as threats to all that might be accomplished. For the human adventure to continue beyond the Earth's atmosphere, the time is now to reconsider the nature of sustainability.

Exploring the racially white 'others' whom Shakespeare illustrates in characters like Hamlet, Antony and the Macbeths - figures who are never quite 'white enough' - this urgent, compelling work shows how such racial categorisation begets anti-Blackness and sustains white supremacy.

Winston Churchill noted that the submarine war in the Atlantic was the only campaign of World War II that truly frightened him. If the lifeline to North America had been severed, Britain would not have survived, and crucial events like the buildup of US and Commonwealth forces, D-Day landings, and victory in Western Europe would have been impossible. This battle, which lasted from the war's onset to Germany's final surrender, was the longest and one of the hardest-fought campaigns. The book explores the ships, technology, and tactics used by the Allies, starting with lessons learned from World War I and detailing inter-war technological advancements and training. As the war unfolded, the balance of power shifted between U-boats and escorts, with new weapons and sensors introduced rapidly. For the defending navies, the key challenge was to enhance capabilities while maintaining simplicity and speed in construction. The author examines the designs of sloops, frigates, corvettes, and destroyer escorts, assessing their effectiveness and cost-efficiency in anti-submarine warfare. Drawing from a lifetime of warship design experience, the author's insights in this new softcover edition will intrigue enthusiasts and provide valuable knowledge for naval historians.
