This volume takes us out into the night to discover the natural world after dark, its rarely seen spectacles and curiosities. With acclaimed nature writer John Lewis-Stempel as our guide, we spot a moonbow, an arch of white light in the heavens; we watch hares box in a star-charmed, wave-earthed ploughfield; we tip our hat to a badger as he snuffles down the path. The book shows us our human insignificance by gazing up at the cosmic sprawl of the Milky Way.
What does it mean to truly see the natural world? ‘The Nature of Seeing’ is a celebration of the art and practice of paying close attention. Whether it is the sight of moonlight across a bedroom floor, or an owl as it hunts, or waxcap fungi that erupt across the fields overnight – Mark Cocker encourages us to reclaim our innate gift for wonder and to see the living world in all its infinite detail and mystery. Through a series of diary entries describing his encounters with the natural world, he interrogates how we see and how it affects us at the most profound levels. In precise and lyrical prose, he shows us that seeing is a creative act that can both transform us and change the world we share. Revelatory and profound, ‘The Nature of Seeing’ is the culmination of a lifetime’s love affair with the simple act of looking and all that it reveals.
Across the Arctic and the boreal north, reindeer populations are dwindling as our ever developing planet grows warmer. Reindeer range is roughly half what it was in the 19th century, and populations have dropped by more than half in the past ten years alone. However, we have a conservation tool at hand for this crisis: wildlife translocation, or moving animals to more suitable habitats. In this book, Nancy Langston interweaves historical research with accounts of her fieldwork in northern Scandinavia, Iceland, North America, Mongolia, and elsewhere. She details the history of struggles faced by communities that have relied on reindeer hunting and herding and engages with the scientific debates about the need to move northern wildlife to viable habitats because of human activities. She also addresses the challenges – logistical, ethical, and societal – of moving large animals in a world with complex geopolitical boundaries.

Memory game meets mischief in this squirrel-themed treasure hunt with a gluttonous twist!

From butterflies and hummingbirds to narwhal and leopards, this work celebrates our wondrous natural world by exploring the language we use to describe it. Take elephants, for instance. African languages often focus on the power of the animal; Tswana and Tsonga refer to ‘the unstoppable one’ and Zulu ‘one crashing through’. In ancient European languages however, elephants were seen as commodities. When Homer and Hesiod wrote about ‘elephas’ in the seventh century BCE, they simply used the word for ivory. Bestselling author T.A. Barron brings together his love of the natural world and his joy in language, creating an inspiring – and often surprising – collection.
The world is more astonishing, more miraculous and more wonderful than our wildest imaginings. A pangolin’s tongue is longer than its body. It keeps it furled in a nifty pouch near the hip.A swift flies 200,000 miles in its lifetime. That’s far enough to get to the moon and back – then back to the moon. There’s a fable that storks deliver babies. In fact, the Nazis used them to air-drop propaganda. An illustrated compendium of the staggering lives of some of the world’s most endangered animals, this sumptuous, expanded and updated edition of ‘The Golden Mole’ is a chance to be awestruck and lovestruck – to fall for the likes of the wondrous pygmy hippo, the seahorse, the narwhal and, as astonishing and endangered as them all, the human.
