A Deep Dive into the World of Killer Whales

Celebrate the often maligned pests who populate our world in this cheerfully illustrated compendium of the world's most misunderstood animals. Pests and so-called nuisance animals get a bad rap, but each and every one of them serves a purpose in our ecosystem. In Pests and Other Friends, you will learn how helpful, fascinating, and hilarious these creatures can be! This book explores regions across North America, highlighting specific ecosystems and the animals that draw the ire of the people who live there. From the armadillos in the American Southwest digging holes in backyards, to the sandhill cranes across the Great Plains dining on farmers' crops, you'll learn all about these creatures' troublemaking behaviors as well as their benefits to their ecosystems. By delving into the history and diet of each species and the reasons they are considered pests, you'll never look at pigeons, skunks, or groundhogs in the same way. Mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and the only marsupial in North America, the Virginia opossum, can all be found within these pages. Hopefully, you will be able to appreciate them for what they do for us despite getting into our garbage cans, gardens, and attics.

Pests and so-called nuisance animals get a bad rap... …but each and every one of them serves a purpose in their ecosystem. Learn how helpful, intelligent, and fascinating these creatures can be in this lushly illustrated exploration of North American wildlife. Armadillos dig holes in backyards, but did you know that &nbsp;they also consume many troublesome species like fire ants, yellowjackets, and cockroaches? Or that prairie dog burrows provide other animals with much needed shelter? From the deserts of the Southwest to the city streets of the East Coast, Pests &amp; Other Friends celebrates the unique ways in which these underappreciated animals benefit their individual environments. Halsey Berryman’s beautifully detailed, whimsical &nbsp;artwork captures the distinctive traits of these regularly slandered critters, ensuring you’ll never look at &nbsp;pigeons, skunks, or alligators the same way again.

Discover the True Nature of the Most Maligned Animals

Pests & Other Friends

“One of the greatest thinkers of our age" (The Guardian) presents a new way of living—one modeled on nature’s design instead of capitalism's—for fans of Guns, Germs, and Steel and Doughnut Economics It has often been said that it is easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of capitalism—and yet that is what the historical moment urgently calls for.&nbsp;As climate chaos, inequality, and social fragmentation intensify, humanity faces an imminent choice: continue with a system built on extraction and endless growth, or reimagine civilization itself.&nbsp;Incremental policy improvements are no longer enough—we need a deep transformation of our current civilization to continue to survive.&nbsp;&nbsp; In Ecocivilization, leading thinker Jeremy Lent offers that reimagination, grounded in proven design principles of ecosystems and in humankind's evolved inclination toward justice, mutuality, and dignity. What unfolds is a robust framework incorporating Lent’s own expertise, and the lived experiences of those on the ground already putting ecological civilization’s core tenets into practice—justice, mutuality, diversity, and symbiosis.&nbsp; From the global economy to universal housing and income, from infrastructure to agriculture, every major aspect of our society could be redesigned to work together as a coherent whole, setting the conditions for all people to flourish. Ecocivilization shows how this future on a regenerated Earth is not only desirable, but entirely feasible.

How Coca-Cola makes Americans sick—and makes sure we don’t know it. If we knew that Coca-Cola was among the deadliest products in our diet, would we continue drinking it in such great quantities? The Coca-Cola Company has gone to extraordinary lengths to make sure we don’t find out, as this damning exposé makes patently clear. Marshaling the findings of extensive research and deep investigative reporting, Murray Carpenter describes in Sweet and Deadly the damage Coke does to America’s health—and the remarkable campaign of disinformation conducted by the company to keep consumers in the dark.

A renowned engineer and lifelong birder reveals the marvel of how birds work—from the tips of their beaks to the sheen of their tailfeathers. With over 150 full-color illustrations, a unique gift book for everyone from the avid birder to the bird beginner. Consider feathers: They define birds’ wings, enabling flight. They insulate against cold. They repel water. They even control sound. And how feathers work is just one aspect of the wonders of birds explained by pathbreaking researcher and birder Lorna Gibson in Birds Up Close. Feathers, bones, bills, eggs, flight: all come in for scrutiny in this engaging book. What produces the iridescence of plumage? How does the internal structure of a bird’s bones make them lightweight? How do different birds use their bills and tongues—from woodpeckers penetrating the holes they drill to hummingbirds imbibing nectar, to sandpipers needling the sand, and to phalaropes drawing water droplets containing plankton into their mouths without sucking (no lips!)? Drawing on her expertise and personal experience in both engineering and ornithology, the author explores the hidden microscopic structures and engineering principles that keep birds aloft and alive—how an egg is formed, how a bird generates lift; how raptors soar and glide, albatrosses fly thousands of miles, hummingbirds hover, puffins and penguins “fly” underwater. She also considers the longer view of birds in their habitats and natural history. Her up-close look at avian mysteries provides a perspective like no other for the expert ornithologist and curious observer alike.

His recurring fainting spells have worsened, and his ingrained aversion to doctors leaves his worried family scrambling to uncover the nature of his sickness. Meanwhile, Eddie secretly works on a project he calls 'Hobbstown', a place he believes will not only save him but the world.A dazzling novel of compassion and imagination, Prisoner's Dilemma explores the profound power of individual experience and the lengths to which one man will go to protect those he loves and his vision for a better world.

Prisoner's Dilemma

Beavers reshaped a Scottish landscape and public perception, transforming conservation into urgent, meaningful action. From the moment that these waters were given back their beavers, I knew that I would never wish to return to the time when they were without them . . .' In November 2021, in a major moment in Scotland's history, a family of beavers was spared a death sentence and relocated to a Perthshire farm. Their arrival at Argaty, Tom Bowser's home, paved the way for a new era in human-beaver relations. In this deeply personal account, Tom tells of his attempts to save these incredible animals, of the support and opposition received and of the unimaginable gains that beavers ultimately brought to his home. He also explores the wider themes of rewilding and nature conservation in Scotland, meeting some of the leading lights of this exciting movement, highlighting the work they do, the challenges they face and showing why ecological restoration is so important for the future of our planet.

"A bombshell new biography." —People MagazineA revelatory portrait of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., chronicling his battles with addiction and his astonishing journey from entitled scion to environmental activist to a prominent member of the president's cabinet, based on RFK Jr.’s secret journals and the author’s interviews with dozens of sources close to him.Born into one of the most storied families in American history, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was fourteen years old when his father was assassinated. He has since spent his life grappling with the weight of his family’s legacy. Like his martyred father, RFK Jr. longs to be a hero, but he has struggled with his demons. “I knew daddy was watching me, and that he loved me,” he wrote in a diary entry, “But I also felt I was disappointing him.”Those thoughts were set down in his diary when he was serving out a monthlong prison term in Puerto Rico for civil disobedience. The experience changed his life. Alone in his cell, he was forced to grapple with his personal conflicts—his addictions to drugs and women—but also to question everything that he and his family once held sacred, including their allegiance to the Democratic Party, which had sustained the Kennedy family for generations.RFK Jr. became disillusioned with many of the party’s leaders even as he committed himself to carving out a distinct identity as a public servant. He would vow to step up his environmental crusade, later establishing himself as a public health critic with controversial views on vaccines. He became a political maverick.But even now, in his seventies, and after an unexpected pivot into the national spotlight as a political and cultural figure at odds with both the Democratic Party and his family, RFK Jr. is still fighting to live up to the legacy of his father.Award-winning journalist Isabel Vincent draws on exclusive access to RFK Jr.’s personal diaries, candid interviews, and previously unreleased material, providing an unparalleled view of the life and mind of one of the most divisive individuals in America today, a deeply flawed man whose public life has often been in conflict with his private battles.

Ernst Haeckel
 (1834–1919) war ein deutscher Biologe, Naturforscher, Künstler, Philosoph und Arzt, der 
 sein Leben damit verbrachte, die Tier- und Pflanzenwelt von den höchsten Berggipfeln bis in die tiefsten Weltmeere zu erforschen
 . Als leidenschaftlicher Verfechter und Fortentwickler der Theorien Darwins verfasste er philosophische Abhandlungen, promovierte in Zoologie und prägte wissenschaftliche Begriffe, die bis in die Alltagssprache von heute vordrangen, wie Ökologie und Stammzelle.
 
 Wie der Naturforscher Alexander von Humboldt wollte Haeckel nicht nur entdecken, sondern auch erklären. Dazu fertigte er 
 Hunderte detaillierter Zeichnungen, Aquarelle und Skizzen
 seiner Forschungsergebnisse, die er im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert in mehreren Bänden veröffentlichte, unter anderem in einer Reihe meeresbiologischer Monografien sowie in seinen prachtvollen 
 Kunstformen der Natur
 , die als Zusammenfassung seines Lebenswerks betrachtet werden können.
 
 Die Drucke waren nicht nur für die Naturforschung von Bedeutung, sondern 
 beeinflussten Generationen von Künstlern und Architekten des 20. Jahrhunderts
 , vor allem die Vertreter des Jugendstils.
 
 Dieser Band zeigt alle Tafeln aus seinem berühmtesten Werk, 
 Kunstformen der Natur
 , und den meeresbiologischen Atlanten 
 Die Radiolarien, Monographie der Medusen, Die Kalkschwämme: eine Monographie
 . In einer Zeit, in der die Artenvielfalt zunehmend durch menschliches Handeln bedroht wird, ist dieses Buch nicht nur 
 ein visueller Genuss,
 sondern auch eine 
 eindringliche Erinnerung daran, wie wichtig die Vielfalt des Lebens ist.

The Art and Science of Ernst Haeckel
