Bob the Robin
The story of an incredible friendship between one man and a wild robin, and a beautiful celebration of Britain’s favorite bird"When a robin appears, a loved one is near" In 2019, Tony Putman was working as a gardener in Edenbridge, Kent, when he noticed a bold robin sitting on a branch of an old plum tree. The robin glanced in his direction as he approached, but he didn't move, so Tony grabbed his camera and took a photo. This would be the first of hundreds of photos that Tony would take of Bob the robin - and the start of an extraordinary friendship that would last for years. As Tony shared his pictures on his social media account, Putman and Robin, he witnessed an outpouring the love - not just for Bob, but for robins everywhere, who populate our gardens with song and movement even on the direst winter days. In this book, Tony shares his touching journey with Bob, and tells the story of our unwavering affection for these magnificent creatures. This is an informative book about the life of a robin, as well as a beautiful love letter to these spirited and lively birds - who offer us a connection with nature, a moment of contact and a great source of comfort and joy.

Prečo sa včelám potia nohy a počúvajú kolenom
Včely medonosné sa všeobecne tešia širokej obľube – či už u včelárov či nevčelárov, vedcov i laikov, malých alebo veľkých. A niet sa čomu diviť, veď včely majú v rukáve celý rad neuveriteľných superschopností: učia sa jedna od druhej, premýšľajú, snívajú, plánujú, počítajú, ba dokonca vraj dokážu rozlíšiť jednotlivé výtvarné štýly alebo rozpoznávať ľudské tváre…
A ako by to samo o sebe nestačilo, k tomu všetkému sú vraj navyšenajpracovitejšie zo všetkých opeľovačov! A vedci ďalej neúnavne odhaľujú ďalšie a ďalšie čriepky z ich zázračných schopností medonosných. Jeden z popredných výskumníkov včiel, profesor Jürgen Tautz, niektoré z týchto fascinujúcich faktov zhrnul v tejto knihe – zaujímavosti a fascinujúce čriepky, ktoré vás udivia, pobavia i ohromia.
From Out of the Smokies
Knoxville native Charlie Tombras may be best known for founding nationally recognized advertising firm the Tombras Group, but in his moving memoir, From out of the Smokies: Stories of Fly Fishing and Life, he chronicles his personal journey, letting business take a backseat. Born and raised in the Smokies, Tombras grew up exploring mountains and streams, fostering an appreciation for nature and fly fishing that would follow him through a tour of duty in Vietnam and into adulthood. With a relatable, often humorous storytelling style, Tombras recollects adventures spanning eight decades and the resulting lessons of friendship, loss, and love that he learned along the way. Emphasizing the value of hard work and perseverance, Tombras thoughtfully examines his lifelong love of fly fishing and leaves no stone unturned as he takes readers from childhood to adulthood with impressively vivid memories and captivating prose. From exhilarating tales of white water canoeing in Northern Labrador to grief-stricken seasons of loss, Tombras’s memoir explores a vast array of spirit and adventure that provides a nuanced portrait of a successful man—in business and in life. Through his sporting adventures and other personal experiences, Tombras continues to learn how to weather storms in whatever shape they may take and how to grow in the face of adversity. Much like Tombras’s beloved rivers, From Out of the Smokies will inspire readers to accept and marvel at forces beyond our control.
Hen Party
An illustrated compendium of common and rare breed chickens by the Sunday Times bestselling gardener
It is my hope that this book will help you discover, or reconfirm, which chicken breeds are your favourites and encourage you to keep them yourself, or at least to remember them.
Spotlighting more than fifty breeds of chicken, from the classy Ancona to the lavishly laced Wyandotte, Arthur Parkinson shares everything you need to know about each breed’s attributes, behaviour, quirks and qualities alongside gorgeous illustrations of his ‘ladies’. Later in the book he offers detailed advice that will equip you with the practical skills to look after hens in your own garden, whether the most common breeds or the most perilously rare – for as Arthur notes, if we don’t celebrate all hens great and small, the lesser-known varieties may well disappear.
Joyful and inspiring, Hen Party is a riotous, clucking poultry show of a book for anyone dreaming of the good life.

An Inconvenience of Penguins
'An epic quest - in which the journey is at least as entertaining as the end result' - Stephen Moss, author of Ten Birds That Changed the World'Humorous, touching and refreshingly unsentimental' - Colin Thubron, author of Shadow of the Silk Road'Highly entertaining and gloriously obsessional' - Philip Hoare, author of Leviathan'A wise, rude, hilarious and oddly moving account' - Ed Caesar, author of The Moth and the Mountain~ ~ ~The problem started, as problems often do, with a penguin. From Kings and Emperors to Macaronis and Rockhoppers, penguins are one of the most immediately recognisable animals on Earth. Yet for all that familiarity, what do we really know about them? An Inconvenience of Penguins follows award-winning travel writer Jamie Lafferty as he visits all eighteen species in a bid to understand the birds and their extraordinarily varied habitats a little better. On voyages to some of the planet's most inaccessible and challenging landscapes, he recounts the history of our unique relationship with the world's most popular bird, telling not only the stories of the penguins, but also the people and places around them. From getting stranded in the Galapagos and marching through African guano fields to leading photography groups in the Antarctic and taking psychedelics on the Falklands, this is a birding quest like no other. Along the way, Lafferty relives the experiences of early polar explorers, for whom penguins were perplexing mysteries, welcome companions and even occasional meals, and meets the modern penguin lovers trying to save their fragile environments. Featuring cameos from a wide cast of characters including Ernest Shackleton, Charles Darwin and Sir Francis Drake, as well as beautiful photographs of each penguin species, An Inconvenience of Penguins is part love-letter to and part biography of these remarkable creatures.
John Henry Gurney
JohnHenry Gurney: A Passion for Birdsdetails the life of JohnHenry Gurney (1819-1890) who became a successful banker when still young. Hiswealth enabled him to indulge his passion for collecting natural historyspecimens, especially birds. A major supporter of the fledgling Norfolk andNorwich Museum, in 1853 he announced his intention to collect a series of everyspecies of bird of prey in the world, and to donate and display them in themuseum. Unfortunately, devastating events in his private and professional lifethreatened to derail his efforts. Nevertheless, he persisted in hisspecimen-collecting and ornithological studies and became a world-renownedexpert on birds of prey and the birds of southern Africa. Gurney named nearly30 bird species new to science and had several species named after him. He madesignificant and long-lasting contributions to bird identification and knowledgeof the distribution of many species. But why did he choose to collect and studybirds of prey in particular; how closely did he approach his goal and how muchdid it cost him? This book attempts to answer these questions. Published in association with the British Ornithologists' Club.
The Social Lives of Birds
''A tour-de-force survey of how birds live their lives - with all the drama, surprise, humour, sadness and amazement of any human soap-opera'' - Stephen Moss, author of Ten Birds That Changed the World''Utterly fascinating . . . Strassmann is the perfect guide to this world: an author as much fascinated by the science and research as she is motivated by the sheer joy and wonder of the birds themselves'' - James Macdonald Lockhart, author of RaptorIn The Social Lives of Birds, evolutionary biologist Joan Strassmann examines what it means for birds of a feather to flock together. Some birds sleep together. Some join the foraging groups of other species. Some are only social during the breeding season, forming nesting colonies in trees, cliffs, and sandbanks. Some are altruistic, helping to rear young that are not their own. Some males perform mating dances together.Strassmann explains how flocks provide safety in numbers, roosts offer warmth and shelter, and colonies allow for protected breeding. But group behavior is not without its costs-including increased competition, infidelities, tick infestations, and more. Strassmann exposes the conflicts birds face and the many ways in which they resolve these conflicts. With stories of birds from around the world-from broad-winged hawks that migrate south together in the fall, tree swallows that roost together in the thousands, and tropical anis that nest in communes-The Social Lives of Birds explores the different kinds of bird groups and what to look for when watching them. Above all, it reveals that solitary life, it seems, is not for the birds.''Delightful and informative'' - Lee Dugatkin, author of How to Tame a Fox (and Build a Dog)

Kniha Kočičí zen je protkána příběhy a fakty o kočkách, Japonsku a zenové filozofii.
Co se můžeme naučit od koček, těchto filozofických šelem?

Kočky jsou nedílnou součástí života v Japonsku: od folklóru po módu, zanechaly v kultuře významné otisky svých tlapek.
Carla Francis zahrnuje do diskuse japonské milovníky koček a vyzývá k zamyšlení a „všímavému mňoukání“ o životě prostřednictvím hesel složených z japonských slov od A do Z.
Kočky nejsou zatížené starostmi jako lidé, žijí v záviděníhodné vnitřní rovnováze. Můžeme jí dosáhnout i my?

Highland Cow & the Horse of the Woods
Appalled by the catastrophic decline of the capercaillie – once a common and widespread bird in Scotland – Roy Dennis has come up with solutions. The numbers of capers in Scotland’s pine forests have tumbled from 20,000 in the 1960s to about 400 today. The bird is facing extinction and without major conservation recovery could die out again, as it did in the early 19th century.Roy Dennis has known the caper since 1960 and writes about how to save this beautiful ‘great turkey-like bird’. The story – illustrated throughout by magnificent colour photographs – concerns its old pine forest habitat and how the capercaillie’s living space has become dysfunctional. The key to recovery is to mimic the original ancient ox, the great aurochs, which had a profound beneficial impact on the ecology of the woodlands. It was eliminated by humans millennia ago, but its place was taken by Neolithic cattle arriving here after a long migration from the Middle East, where they had been domesticated from local aurochs 10,000 years ago. It was a major step in human evolution.Those early cattle morphed into the Highland cow, which is the closest relative of its ancient ancestor. These cattle, herded by the people living in Scotland, were part of the woodland scene right through until the middle of the last century. Roy explains why they are the key to recovery – the cattle would restore the ecosystem, creating path networks, increasing biodiversity and invertebrate populations to the benefit of capercaillies but also for the whole of wild nature.The life of the capercaillie is dealt with in detail, as is the history and present situation of Highland cattle – the most recognisable cow in the world and a favourite with everyone. The contrast with commercial cattle is explained, as is how to get the maximum benefit for the capercaillie, including greatly increasing the Scots pine woodlands. This is a book by an expert, written for everyone.
