I loved this! An entertaining page-turner about climate change (among other things) that manages to be non-preachy and non-hysterical.

Type: Book
Class Number: 595.799
Content type: Bibliography
Publisher: Anima
Physical or Electronic: Physical
ISBN: 9781788545815
Note: Did you know, as bees get older they become more forgetful? Or that the bee hive is a masterclass is matriarchal living? Ever wondered just how fast a bee can fly? Or just how much honey a bee can make in its little life? Is it really true that, if bees go extinct, civilisation could only last four years? Bees and humans are inseparable. We rely on them not only to pollinate our planet but to sweeten our lives with the fruits of their labours. Honey, royal jelly, beeswax - these golden, hardworking insects have transformed our lives with their quiet diligence, giving us sugary pleasure, illumination and beauty treatments for thousands of years. In this book, bestselling author Sally Coulthard takes the reader on a fascinating flight through the history, science, folklore, behaviour, and cultural significance of the bee.

The bird way, a new look at how birds talk, work, play, parent, and think
Book:The bird way, a new look at how birds talk, work, play, parent, and think:2020 Book
The bird way, a new look at how birds talk, work, play, parent, and think
Author: Ackerman, Jennifer
Year: 2020
Language: English
Type: Book
Class Number: 598.15
Content type: Bibliography
Publisher: Corsair
Physical or Electronic: Physical
ISBN: 9781472152909
Note: Originally published: U.S.: Penguin Press 'There is the mammal way and there is the bird way.' This is one scientist's pithy distinction between mammal brains and bird brains: two ways to make a highly intelligent mind. But lately, scientists have taken a new look at bird behaviours they've previously dismissed as anomalies. What they're finding is upending the traditional view of how birds live, how they communicate, forage, court, survive. They're also revealing the remarkable intelligence underlying these activities, abilities we once considered uniquely our own - deception, manipulation, kidnapping, infanticide, but also, ingenious communication between species, collaboration, altruism and play. Drawing on personal observations, the latest science, and her bird-related travel around the world, Ackerman shows there is clearly no single bird way of being. In every respect, in plumage, form, song, flight, lifestyle, niche, and behaviour, birds vary.
