DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The Guardian's Best Science Book of 2017: the fascinating science and history of the air we breathe. It's invisible. It's ever-present. Without it, you would die in minutes. And it has an epic story to tell. In Caesar's Last Breath, New York Times bestselling author Sam Kean takes us on a journey through the periodic table, around the globe, and across time to tell the story of the air we breathe, which, it turns out, is also the story of earth and our existence on it. With every breath, you literally inhale the history of the world. On the ides of March, 44 BC, Julius Caesar died of stab wounds on the Senate floor, but the story of his last breath is still unfolding; in fact, you're probably inhaling some of it now. Of the sextillions of molecules entering or leaving your lungs at this moment, some might well bear traces of Cleopatra's perfumes, German mustard gas, particles exhaled by dinosaurs or emitted by atomic bombs, even remnants of stardust from the universe's creation. Tracing the origins and ingredients of our atmosphere, Kean reveals how the alchemy of air reshaped our continents, steered human progress, powered revolutions, and continues to influence everything we do. Along the way, we'll swim with radioactive pigs, witness the most important chemical reactions humans have discovered, and join the crowd at the Moulin Rouge for some of the crudest performance art of all time. Lively, witty, and filled with the astounding science of ordinary life, Caesar's Last Breath illuminates the science stories swirling around us every second.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Emilia wants her husband back…But are the dead best left undisturbed? 1919, London. WW1 has ended. Eighteen months ago Emilia’s journalist husband, Owen Flett, who was on assignment on the Western Front, was reported missing presumed dead. When she is drawn into attending a seance by medium Anna Ward, Emilia meets the mysterious Dr McIvor. He claims he can bring Owen back to her. Although Emilia does not accept such a thing is possible, she wants so desperately to believe it that she agrees. And then Owen returns. Surely the timing was a coincidence, and there must be a logical explanation. At first just having him back is enough, but as her joy recedes Emilia grows more and more puzzled by Owen’s behaviour. Why is he so different from the man she knew before? Could the changes be explained by his experiences during the war, or is it something more sinister? Something she can barely bring herself to believe.
