When you’re excited and passionate about life—then it follows there are meaningful things to do, and they spill forth without effort. When grief, thinking errors, or the fallacy of fairness are let go, then you move freely into the next idea or activity or interaction. Feeling like you have Nothing to Do is a place you don't need to stay.

I'm thrilled to have won the @BritishEcolSoc 2026 Book of the Year Award with my debut nonfiction book The World Beneath our Feet! This award is given to the book that has had/ or is expected to have the greatest influence on the science of ecology in any two-year period.
I'm absolutely buzzing, particularly since the book has only been out for a month in the UK and releases in the US in two days!
Quoting the BES press release:
"The World Beneath Our Feet takes readers on a journey, from freshly fallen plant litter, down through the topsoil, and finally into the permanently dark, undisturbed underworld of the subsoil. Along the way we meet some of the world’s strangest inhabitants and learn about the important roles they play in supporting us and the natural world, from nutrient cycling to agriculture and carbon storage.
Hefin Jones, a BES Marsh Ecology Book of the Year judge said: ‘Frank Ashwood’s The World Beneath Our Feet is an engaging and accessible exploration of soil biodiversity and its importance to ecosystems and human society. Its major strength is in Ashwood’s ability to communicate complex ecological processes through vivid descriptions of the largely unseen organisms that sustain soils.’
Ken Thompson, another BES Marsh Ecology Book of the Year judge, said: ‘There are jaw-dropping facts on every page and throughout the book, Ashwood’s narrative is greatly enlivened by his personal encounters with soil life. These adventures lend his text an immediacy and excitement that makes for an entertaining read.’"
Why not pick yourself up a copy of the book, and see what all the fuss is about!

When Maps Become the World by Rasmus Gronfeldt Winther, 2020
Map making and, ultimately, map thinking is ubiquitous across literature, cosmology, mathematics, psychology, and genetics. We partition, summarize, organize, and clarify our world via spatialized representations. Our maps and, more generally, our representations seduce and persuade; they build and destroy. They are the ultimate record of empires and of our evolving comprehension of our world

The Hidden Lives of Tudor Women by Elizabeth Norton
Historian Elizabeth Norton explores the life cycle of the Tudor woman, from childhood to old age, through the diverging examples of women such as Elizabeth Tudor, Henry VIII's sister; Cecily Burbage, Elizabeth's wet nurse; Mary Howard, widowed but influential at court; Elizabeth Boleyn, mother of a controversial queen; and Elizabeth Barton, a peasant girl who would be lauded as a prophetess.
