Jungle Spirits
Some 60 percent of all the world's species live in jungles. In this best-selling book and celebration of biodiversity, award-winning wildlife photographer Christian Ziegler and biologist Daisy Dent create a monument to jungle life - from Panama to Congo, Madagascar to Australia. With 186 colour photographs and expert texts, they show us some of the most fascinating specimens of jungle flora and fauna: tiny driver ants, nimble ocelots, bonobos, cassowaries, chameleons, colourful orchids, and carnivorous plants. A visually stunning journey through the rain forest, and an urgent reminder of how much our world depends on the preservation of tropical ecosystems.

The Value of a Whale
This book shows that beyond the fossil fuel industry, it is the lesser-known but vastly more powerful world of asset managers and shadow banking which is inhibiting our ability to pursue climate and environmental justice. Those with the influence to effect global change increasingly see commodifying nature as the only way to do so.
Public understanding of, and outcry over, the dire state of the climate and environment is greater than ever before. Parties across the political spectrum claim to be climate leaders, and overt denial is on the way out.
Yet when it comes to slowing the course of the climate and nature crises, despite a growing number of pledges, policies and summits, little ever seems to change.
Nature is being destroyed at an unprecedented rate. We remain on course for a catastrophic 3°C of warming.
What's holding us back?
In this searing and insightful critique, Adrienne Buller examines the fatal biases that have shaped the response of our governing institutions to climate and environmental breakdown, and asks: are the 'solutions' being proposed really solutions?
Tracing the intricate connections between financial power, economic injustice and ecological crisis, she exposes the myopic economism and market-centric thinking presently undermining a future where all life can flourish.
The book examines what is wrong with mainstream climate and environmental governance, from carbon pricing and offset markets to 'green growth', the commodification of nature and the growing influence of the finance industry on environmental policy. In doing so, it exposes the self-defeating logic of a response to these challenges based on creating new opportunities for profit, and a refusal to grapple with the inequalities and injustices that have created them. Both honest and optimistic, The Value of a Whale asks us - in the face of crisis - what we really value.

Záškodníci z moře
Special Boat Service (SBS) byla během druhé světové války poměrně malá jednotka britského námořnictva, jejíž početní stav nikdy nepřekročil 300 mužů. Ale to jí nebránilo působit nepříteli velké škody. Toto malé komando vedlo na středomořském bojišti a v Egejském moři, které po obsazení Řecka a Kréty ovládali Němci, neustálé válečné tažení v podobě zneklidňování protivníka. Vázalo tam nepřátelská vojska, která se tak nemohla přesunout na jiné bojiště. Ke svým cílům se SBS dostávala v noci s použitím ponorek, malých hladinových plavidel nebo kajaků. Velitelé těchto plavidel, kteří pomáhali členům útočných komand splnit jejich riskantní a tajné mise, se často sami vystavovali nebezpečí. Úspěšnost akcí SBS závisela na spolupráci vášnivě nezávislých Řeků a zejména Kréťanů. Ti všichni se zapojili do úsilí o dosažení společného cíle, kterým bylo vyhnání německých okupantů.
John Lodwick se podílel na tažení SBS ve Středozemním moři a píše o svých osobních zkušenostech se stejnou elegancí a vervou, s jakými bojovala jeho jednotka. Protože to je víc než jen příběh o pozoruhodných mužích, kteří ji tvořili, jako byl Anders Lassen („Hrozivý Dán“), který byl posmrtně vyznamenán Viktoriiným křížem, Fitzroy Maclean, Eric Newby a lord Jellicoe, jenž velel SBS po téměř dva roky a napsal k těmto vzpomínkám předmluvu. Muži SBS, silné a rozhodné individuality, společně tvořili smrtící soudržnou bojovou jednotku, která významně zasáhla do války ve Středozemním moři, a jimž kniha Johna Lodwicka skládá hold v podobně vzrušující četby. Techniky a taktiky komand typu SBS se dále zdokonalovaly a používaly se prakticky ve všech dalších válečných konfliktech. Zřejmě nejpopulárnějším následníkem těchto pionýrů záškodnického vedení boje, operujících z moře, jsou americké jednotky Navy SEAL.

Recover Your Losses By The Power Of God
This book is written to quicken your mortal body, stair up your spirit, and encourage you to stand to your feet and recover all that Satan and his cohorts have stolen from you. You can’t afford to allow the Devil to retain the things he has stolen from you and continue stealing from you. There is a popular saying that; “every day is for the thief, but one day is for the owner.” I don’t know how long the enemy has been stealing from you; it is time to recover and reclaim your losses.Many people lose one thing or the other every day because Satan steals every day. As God gives us daily benefits, so Satan gives us daily problems. Unfortunately, the majority of these set of people who had lost great riches and virtues to Satan, are making little or no effort to recover their belongings from the Devil.In John 10:10 Jesus said;”The thief does not come except to steal, and kill, and destroy”Many people are conversant with this scripture, yet they ignore this divine alarm. In this scripture, Jesus informed us that Satan is a thief and he comes to steal. It is the nature of Satan to steal. If he succeeds in stealing, it becomes easier for him to kill and destroy. This menace of Satan and his cohorts have reduced the potency of the virtues which God deposited in the lives of His people, and also render the destiny of many people useless. Satan has robbed many people of their salvation, gifts, talents, marriages, jobs, businesses, properties, and even their lives.There are certain facts about a thief you should know;1) A thief comes without notification.2) A thief comes to rob you of your goods and belongings.3) A thief can do anything to get what he wants, even if it means killing someone.4) A thief is cruel and wicked.5) A thief sees stealing as a business and not an act of evil.6) A thief comes each time he noticed that something good has come into someone`s life.7) A thief is not mindful of your loss. He is mindful of his gain. Etc.These ungodly characteristics of a thief should call for your attention, and also awaken you into realizing the damages the Devil might have done in the lives of many people, and the destruction he may still cause if you slumber in sleep and merry in relaxation without praying down the mighty hand of God to put an end to these evil operations of the Devil. You must be mindful of whatever the Devil has stolen from you and quickly seek for recovery through divine intervention. In the same John 10:10 where Jesus informed us about evil plans of the Devil against us, Jesus also told us what He (Jesus) has come to do for us;”I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly”Satan came to steal, but Jesus came to recover and restore. Do you want to recover your losses? Then read this book meditatively and pray the prayers in it, and it will amaz

Embracing God in the Right Perspective with the Right Foundation of Faith in Him
Knowledge without God is not the Truth. Only Truth leads us to the meaning of life as the power of life is in God. God is the everlasting Truth. Faith without understanding of Faith is an unfinished work in Faith.
Each and everyone of us needs to discover our true identity of who we are before we could truly inherit the fullness of life as we desire to live a life filled with gifts in fullest measure of Peace, Love and Joy in our hearts now and forevermore.
The objective of this Book is not to put down any religious beliefs, teachings, laws and practices we embrace. Its intention is to discover who we are in the spiritual realm and how our identity relates to God, who is our Creator and Master of this universe, and how this Father and Child relationship gives us freedom of Peace, which is the ultimate goal in humanity with an assured destiny of eternal life in the kingdom of God.
God loves you. Jesus loves you. Amen. Each and every living soul in the history of mankind is a child of God. You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. Blood and flesh do not inherit the kingdom of God. Conquering Jerusalem is likened to men's attempts to attain divinity and righteousness with the might and knowledge of the flesh. Such repeated feats as recorded throughout the history of mankind would never bring down the kingdom of God from heaven to earth. Our Heavenly Father is a God of Peace, Love and Harmony. He is not a God of War, Hatred and Division.
Misguided beliefs and biblical misinterpretations through religious laws of men in the flesh had inflected countless and senseless innocent bloodsheds upon mankind. Walking with faith in the flesh is knowledge. Walking with faith in the spirit is truth. All men shall be born again of the Word of God which is full of truth and grace, to fully embrace God and live eternally in His divine Truth and Spirit. The Word of God is embedded in all men as each man is born with a given measure of faith in the Word of God.
I humbly express this Book as the priceless companion guide in studying the Word of God that shall bring forth healing to all souls throughout the nations on earth. All glory be unto our Father God.
This Book shall serve as good text material for interfaith dialogue. It is the preordained duty of believers in Christ to share the Gospel of Light to members of other beliefs with understanding and love.
This Book contains end times prophecy. The future middle eastern war is coming soon! The return of Chris is a certainty. Amen. Hope this Book would bring forth abundance of insightful revelations and joyful enlightenment in your heart and soul. Be very blessed within His presence of gracious embrace and enjoy reading it. In Christ and through Christ, we all live again. God bless. Jesus loves all of you. Amen!

Italienische Reise - Band 1
Karlsbad bis auf den Brenner
Den 3. September 1786.
Früh drei Uhr stahl ich mich aus Karlsbad, weil man mich sonst nicht fortgelassen hätte. Die Gesellschaft, die den achtundzwanzigsten August, meinen Geburtstag, auf eine sehr freundliche Weise feiern mochte, erwarb sich wohl dadurch ein Recht, mich festzuhalten; allein hier war nicht länger zu säumen. Ich warf mich ganz allein, nur einen Mantelsack und Dachsranzen aufpackend, in eine Postchaise und gelangte halb acht Uhr nach Zwota, an einem schönen stillen Nebelmorgen. Die obern Wolken streifig und wollig, die untern schwer. Mir schienen das gute Anzeichen. Ich hoffte, nach einem so schlimmen Sommer einen guten Herbst zu genießen. Um zwölf in Eger, bei heißem Sonnenschein; und nun erinnerte ich mich, daß dieser Ort dieselbe Polhöhe habe wie meine Vaterstadt, und ich freute mich, wieder einmal bei klarem Himmel unter dem funfzigsten Grade zu Mittag zu essen.

What Really Happened in Wuhan: a Virus Like No Other, Countless Infections, Millions of Deaths
Walkley Award-winning journalist, Sharri Markson is the Investigations Editor at The Australian and host of prime-time show Sharri on Sky News Australia.
The origins of Covid-19 are shrouded in mystery. Scientists and government officials insisted, for a year and a half, that the virus had a natural origin, ridiculing anyone who dared contradict this view. Tech giants swept the internet, censoring and silencing debate in the most extreme fashion. Yet it is undeniable that a secretive facility in Wuhan was immersed in genetically manipulating bat-coronaviruses in perilous experiments. And as soon as the news of an outbreak in Wuhan leaked, the Chinese military took control and gagged all laboratory insiders.
Part-thriller, part-expose, What Really Happened in Wuhan is a ground-breaking investigation from leading journalist Sharri Markson into the origins of Covid-19, the cover-ups, the conspiracies and the classified research. It features never-before-seen primary documents exposing China's concealment of the virus, fresh interviews with whistleblower doctors in Wuhan and crucial eyewitness accounts that dismantle what we thought we knew about when the outbreak hit.
With unprecedented access to Washington insiders, Markson takes you inside the White House, with senior Trump lieutenants revealing first-hand accounts of fiery Oval Office clashes and new stories of compromised government advisors and censored scientists.
Bravely reported and chillingly laid out, Markson brings to light the stories of the pandemic from the people on the ground: the scientists and national security officials who raised uncomfortable truths and were labelled conspiracy theorists, until government agencies began to suspect they might have been right all along. These brave individuals persisted through bruising battles and played a crucial role in investigating the origins of Covid-19 to finally, in this book, bring us closer to the truth of what really happened in Wuhan.

Human Origins
Where did we come from? Where are we going?
Homo sapiens is the most successful, the most widespread and the most influential species ever to walk the Earth. In the blink of an evolutionary eye we have spread around the globe, taken control of Earth's biological and mineral resources, transformed the environment, discovered the secrets of the universe and travelled into space.
Yet just 7 million years ago, we were just another species of great ape making a quiet living in the forests of East Africa. We do not know exactly what this ancestor was like, but it was no more likely than a chimpanzee or gorilla to sail across the ocean, write a symphony, invent a steam engine or ponder the meaning of existence. How did we get from there to here?
Human Origins recounts the most astonishing evolutionary tale ever told. Discover how our ancestors made the first tentative steps towards becoming human, how we lost our fur but gained language, fire and tools, how we strode out of Africa, invented farming and cities and ultimately created modern civilisation - perhaps the only one of its kind in the universe. Meet your long-lost ancestors, the other humans who once shared the planet with us, and learn where the story might end.

The Tale of Toxic Positivity
The author of the hit parody The Panda, the Cat and the Dreadfully Teddy draws on the simple, idyllic world of Beatrix Potter to shed light on some of the most pertinent issues of our time.
Beatrix, a refined and gentle lady, decides to relocate to the countryside to escape the chaotic city and exorbitant house prices of London, in search of a simpler, more holistic life. Looking forward to painting cute rural animals and writing stories about their charming ways, she desires nothing more than to surround herself with nature and to practice mindfulness and kindness. But after months spent in isolation during ‘hibernation’, all the local wildlife emerge grumpy, sweary and having forgotten all their social skills – Jemima Puddleduck has even been cancelled. Will Beatrix’s new small garden and spare room make all this aggro worth it?
