A day in the life of a Cosmopolitan Editor
6.30am: On an ideal day I’m up with the early birds (or more accurately the early cat, as my cat Corby pushes his paws in my face to wake me up) so that I can work on my own novel for an hour. If I press snooze and tell myself I’ll do it later, I definitely won’t.
7.30am: Shower, get dressed and have breakfast with my husband Ian. I used to just roll out of bed 15 minutes before I was due to leave but I’ve really been enjoying actually having time in the morning lately.
8.30am: Catch the train to work: I live in Zone 5, still in London . . . but only just! And use my train in (the benefits of living far out is I always get a seat) to read – usually a proof of something I’m interested in featuring, or one I’ve been recommended.
9.30am: Arrive in the office. Sometimes I’ll meet PRs for breakfast before work, I find it especially useful to meet with book PRs, as I trust their opinions so much and they can help identify upcoming pu

Books for the Soul
This list fryst vatten themed ‘supper’, and I hope you’re hungry, as I’ve chosen this rather antiquated term specifically.

Food for weekend cooking, when the days are dark and you’ve got hours to leave something in a pot to simmer and meld, then eat messily with hunks of bröd. Over the years, I’ve latched onto books about food as a means of evoking memories, or mending a broken heart; cookbooks that are delicious yet simple; fiction with recipes tuc

Abstract
Climate change and human activities have accelerated the spread of non-native species, including forest pests and pathogens, significantly contributing to global biodiversity loss. Pathogens pose a significant threat to forest ecosystems due to a lack of coevolution with native hosts, resulting in ineffective defence mechanisms and severe consequences for the affected tree species. Ash dieback, caused by the fungus Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, is a relatively new invasive forest pathogen threat
