Bird Lore
From bestselling author, Sally Coulthard, comes this charmingly illustrated guide to our favorite feathered friends and the myths and folklore that surround their lives. Even today, birds are hugely symbolic. From songbirds to seagulls, nightingales to morning larks, we still use the cultural language of the avian world. Doves bring peace, storks carry newborn babies. Robins mark Christmas, hens Easter. Blackbirds and thrushes herald the dawn, owls welcome in the night. Even in our modern, rational world, magpies and peacocks still invite superstitions. In her new book, Sally takes a fascinating flight through the myths, magic and meaning of birds. Covering 50 well-loved avian species from across the world, she glides through their folklore, legends and symbolism. From common sayings to strange superstitions, ancient beliefs to modern celebrations, this gloriously illustrated and international guide reveals that Bird Lore is as alive and vibrant as it ever was.
The Folklore of Birds
Did you know that it''s considered a sin to harm a robin? Or that seagulls were once thought to be the souls of dead sailors? And do you know what happens if you listen to a blackbird’s song on May Day?With The Folklore of Birds you can discover the fascinating folklore behind nature’s most intriguing animals.At once familiar and unknowable, birds have for centuries provided a rich source of speculation and myth-making. From the Catholic belief that barnacle geese were actually fish (and could therefore be eaten on the Sabbath) to the Ancient Greek tale of Ceyx and Halcyone who were transformed into kingfishers after death as reward for their fidelity, our feathered friends have given rise to an astonishingly rich body of myth, legend and superstition.With its interesting titbits and curious facts coupled with breathtakingly beautiful illustrations, The Folklore of Birds is charming, quirky gift for the birdwatcher in your life.
Nature’s Ghosts
Winner of the 2024 Richard Jefferies Award for nature writing Shortlisted for the 2024 Wainwright Prize for Writing on Conservation A Times Science Book of the Year ‘Sophie writes fantastically, chronicling the most important issues facing nature conservationists today.’ Chris Packham For thousands of years, humans have been the architects of the natural world. Our activities have permanently altered the environment – for good and for bad. In Nature’s Ghosts, award-winning journalist Sophie Yeo examines how the planet would have looked before humans scrubbed away its diversity: from landscapes carved out by megafauna to the primeval forests that emerged following the last Ice Age, and from the eagle-haunted skies of the Dark Ages to the flower-decked farms of more recent centuries. Uncovering the stories of the people who have helped to shape the landscape, she seeks out their footprints even where it seems there are none to be found. And she explores the timeworn knowledge that can help to fix our broken relationship with the earth. Along the way, Sophie encounters the environmental detectives – archaeological, cultural and ecological – reconstructing, in stunning detail, the landscapes we have lost. Today, the natural world is more vulnerable than ever; the footprints of humanity heavier than they have ever been. But, as this urgent book argues, from the ghosts of the past, we may learn how to build a more wild and ancient future.
The Ocean's Menagerie
''An enchanting book'' THE TIMES, *BOOK OF THE WEEK*''Revelatory'' WILLIAM GIBSON''Each page is full of wonder and surprise'' STEVE BRUSATTE''Magic'' TOM MUSTILLA transporting exploration of the deep sea, and how our planet’s strangest, most ancient and astonishing creatures have urgent relevance to cutting-edge science today.Hundred-year-old giant clams, coral kingdoms the size and shape of cities, and jellyfish that glow in the dark: ocean invertebrates are among the oldest and most diverse organisms on Earth, seeming to bend the rules of land-based biology. Although sometimes unseen in the deep, these incredible spineless creatures contain 600 million years of adaptation to problems of disease, energy consumption, nutrition, and defence.Marine ecologist Dr Drew Harvell takes us diving from Hawaii to the Salish Sea, from the Caribbean to Indonesia, to uncover the incredible underwater ‘superpowers’ of spineless creatures: we meet corals many times stronger than steel or concrete, sponges who create potent chemical compounds to fight off disease, and sea stars who garden the coastlines, keeping all the other nearby species in perfect balance. As our planet changes fast, the biomedical, engineering and energy innovations of these wondrous creatures hold ever more important secrets to our own survival.The Ocean’s Menagerie is a tale of biological marvels, a story of a woman’s passionate connection to an adventurous career in science and a call to arms to protect the world’s most ancient ecosystems.''A warm and wondrous book'' CARL SAFINA''Unforgettable'' NICK PYENSON''A book of marvels'' THOR HANSON

The Believer
The author of the instant fishing classic The Optimist shares new wisdom, humor, and experience in seven extraordinary fly-fishing expeditions??an engaging personal journey about finding what you need to find and keeping it in your heart? (Kirkus Reviews).In The Optimist, David Coggins tackled the techniques of fly-fishing and meditated on its virtues, recounting his triumphs and failures. Now, in The Believer, he deftly mixes travel, local cultures, further fishing challenges (some knee-buckling in their disappointment), and details his own experience as life and love crowd his time to fish. Self-consciously?and self-deprecatingly?Coggins embarks on seven far-flung fishing voyages, away from screens and social media, not answering his phone, and reveling in humanity?s undying yearning for a quest, for the rituals and rites of passage that mark transition. For Coggins, these journeys?to Norway, Scotland, Spain, Cuba, and Argentina, as well as road trips to Wyoming, Tennessee, and the Catskills?not only showcase his skill as an angler but also signal the end of his fly-fishing youth. But that doesn?t mean that Coggins will sell all his rods and hang up his hat; rather, his relationship with his fly-fishing obsession will evolve?especially if he can catch an elusive salmon or a ferociously strong tarpon or the mercurial permit. The Believer is a humble, humorous call for the journey that is as enriching as the destination, where the search for greater self-awareness leads to patience, observation, and endurance. And, since this is fly-fishing, after all, there?s always the possibility of abject failure and leaping, glorious reward. Wry, entertaining, thoughtful, and relatable, The Believer is ?a wonderful example of how well angling can weave us into the world? (Gray?s Sporting Journal) and will hook both anglers and non-anglers alike.

Farewell to Goodison
Farewell to Goodison is a celebration of an atmospheric sporting cathedral that has played a pivotal part in millions of lives. Built in 1892, Goodison Park is unique. It was the first club ground to host an FA Cup final, the first English stadium to boast four sides with two-tier stands, the first to have a three-tiered stand, the first to see programm es sold to its spectators, and the first to feature dugouts and undersoil heating. Goodison Park has also hosted World Cup matches, including a semi-final, a world title boxing bill, baseball, and played host to the visit of a reigning monarch - twice. It has starred in a Rocky movie, has played host to wedding proposals and marriages, seen landmark birthday celebrations staged there and is also a sombre shrine, the final resting place for hundreds of Evertonians. To commemorate Everton Football Club’s departure from Goodison in May 2025, this book celebrates a century of memorable Goodison moments. They are not exclusive. But they are representative of a very special place which, for 133 years, has been ‘home’.
