Ants
Ants are found everywhere from garden to mountaintop. They are at their most diverse in the tropics, but that does not make the 61 species of our part of the world any less fascinating or significant. As social insects, ants have fascinating life histories. Ecologically, they are highly important and influential. From tiny guest ants living in the nests of bigger species to gigantic wood ant mounds with hundreds of thousands of workers, there is a lifetime of possibility for study.This second edition of Ants covers the general biology and ecology of species occurring in Britain and Ireland, including the Channel Islands. The book presents photographs and descriptions of workers for all 61 species on the regional list, together with distribution maps. There is also an account of some of the exotic species that may turn up in heated buildings. The extensively illustrated keys deal with workers, queens and males of all the species. These have been specially written and are the first comprehensive keys since those of the first edition 30 years ago. There are also quick-check keys to workers and nests, as well as a detailed list of kit suppliers and an extensive reference list.Ants are among the most familiar of insects and can form a crucial part of their ecosystem, having an impact far greater than their small individual size would lead us to expect. This book is for anyone wanting to learn more about these endlessly interesting insects, by reading and by applying some of the methods discussed to make new discoveries.

The Little Book of Irish Football
Did You Know? On 6 February 1961, Danny Blanchflower became the first, and only, person to refuse to appear as the subject of This is Your Life when he turned down Eamonn Andrews live on BBC TV. From 1882 until 1931, international teams representing the Irish Football Association wore sky blue jerseys rather than green ones. In February 1963, when football grounds in England were unplayable due to the ‘big freeze’, Manchester United played three of their games in Ireland. The Little Book of Irish Football is a compendium of fascinating, obscure and entertaining stories about the Beautiful Game on the Emerald Isle. It brings to life some of the long-lost tales about how the game grew and thrived across the island. It also explores the division of football in Ireland and the famous players and teams that have stolen the headlines over the decades. The various chapters bring to life the highs and lows of Irish football, telling tales of glory and strife amid adversity.A reliable and quirky guide, this little reference book can be dipped into time and again to reveal something new about the fascinating history of association football in Ireland, as well as the many characters and fans who have brought the game the life over the decades.
The Courage of Birds
A recommended "bird-related book to give this season" by The Washington PostFrom our own backyards to the rim of the Arctic ice, countless birds have adapted to meet the challenges of the winter season. This is their remarkable story, told by award-winning birder and acclaimed writer Pete Dunne, accompanied by illustrations from renowned artist and birder David Sibley.Despite the seasonal life-sapping cold, birds have evolved strategies that meet winter?s vicissitudes head on, driven by the imperative to make it to spring and pass down their genes to the next generation. The drama of winter and the resilience and adaptability of birds witnessed in the harsher months of the calendar is both fascinating and astonishing.In The Courage of Birds, Pete Dunne?winner of the American Birding Association?s Roger Tory Peterson Award for lifetime achievement in promoting the cause of birding?chronicles the behavior of the birds of North America. He expertly explores widespread adaptations, such as feathers that protect against the cold, and unpacks the unique migration patterns and survival strategies of individual species. Dunne also addresses the impact of changing climatic conditions on avian longevity and recounts personal anecdotes that soar with a naturalist?s gimlet eye.Filled with unforgettable facts, wit, and moving observations on the natural world, Dunne?s book is for everyone; from the serious birder who tracks migration patterns, to the casual birder who logs daily reports on eBird, to the backyard observer who throws a handful of seed out for the Northern Cardinals and wonders how the birds magically appear in the garden when temperatures begin to fall.Praise for Pete Dunne?Dunne?s prose is lyrical, sensitive, and full of feeling.??Ted Floyd, editor, Birding ?Pete is arguably North America?s best and best-known birder?and he?s also a terrific writer.??Scott Shalaway, author and former syndicated nature columnistPraise for David Sibley?There are 47 million birdwatchers. But there is only one David Sibley. . . . He is a boon to both the birding world and the art world.??The National Audubon Society?[His] exacting artwork and wide-ranging expertise bring observed behaviors vividly to life.??Birdwatching
Minimal Motoring
From about 1910 to the mid-1920s, the cyclecar was a popular means of transport. Cheap, simply engineered, often crude, it was really just a motorcycle engine with a lightweight chassis and body. It created, however, a new market of people who could afford a motor car; being a car owner was no longer the preserve of the well-to-do.The simplicity of the cars meant that they could easily be built in small quantities, which led to a growth in the number of motor manufacturers. Some of these manufacturers even survive to this day, including probably the most famous British marque – Morgan.Despite the cyclecar being an international phenomenon, with makers in France, the UK, the US and Germany, most had disappeared by the ’30s, killed off by the introduction of real cars at low prices. It was France that would keep the cyclecar interest alive over the following decades, producing small cars like the Mochet throughout the Second World War.Minimal Motoring is a selective history of both the cyclecar and microcar, featuring marques such as Reliant, Citroën and even Messerschmitt, all accompanied by period photographs, advertisements and artwork.

Fishing Boats Around Scotland: The Colour Album
When fishing boats were numerous, Scotland was a wonderful place to see them. Even in later days, it?s still possible to see a hint of what used to be. It was often marvelous fun taking pictures around the harbors, though the Scottish weather could make it challenging. Peter Drummond accepted the challenge with much gusto and enthusiasm and was rewarded with days when the sun shone, the air was clear, and the boats were almost lining up to have their pictures taken. So here they are, the very best of them, in beautiful color, former side trawlers and ring net boats; crabbers, beamers, scallopers, seiners, trawlers, and purse seiners. This stunning album celebrates all the variety of Scottish fishing vessels, looking back over the great days of the past.

Animal Tool Behavior
This revised and updated edition of the landmark publication reveals the current state of knowledge regarding animal tool behavior. When originally published in 1980, Animal Tool Behavior was the first volume to catalog and analyze the complete literature on tool use and manufacture in non-human animals. Benjamin B. Beck showed how animals—from insects to primates—employed different types of tools to solve numerous problems. This work inspired and energized legions of researchers to study the use of tools by a wide variety of species. This new edition reveals the current state of knowledge regarding animal tool behavior, updated and revised with 300 additional references that have been published since the second edition. Through a comprehensive synthesis of studies produced through 2023, Robert W. Shumaker, Kristina R. Walkup, and Benjamin B. Beck define tool use, discuss the modes of tool use that have emerged in the scientific literature, examine all forms of tool manufacture, and address common myths about non-human tool use. Specific examples involving invertebrates, birds, fish, and mammals describe the differing levels of sophistication of tool use exhibited by animals. This volume provides a thorough framework for understanding animal tool use and manufacture.

Určujeme ptáky podle chování
Tato nádherně ilustrovaná příručka vám pomůže určovat ptáky nejen podle tělesných určovacích znaků, ale i podle toho, jak létají, sbírají a loví potravu či jak se sdružují do hejn. Zvážení různých projevů chování ptáků totiž často usnadní určit i ty druhy, které vypadají podobně.
• Zahrnuje ptáky Evropy.
• Pro snadnější orientaci je řazena
podle čeledí.
• Obsahuje více než 1000 originálních barevných ilu-
strací, které ptáky zobrazují tak, jak je v přírodě
skutečně uvidíte.
• U každé čeledi je uvedeno rozšíření jejích zástupců
a přehled stanovišť, která obývají.
Kniha vám pomůže určit ptáky žijící v Česku i v celé Evropě. Takových knih je ale na trhu mnoho – tak proč další? Určujeme ptáky podle chování se od ostatních „terénních příruček“ (knih o determinaci určených k používání venku, v terénu) v jednom velmi důležitém ohledu liší. Nevěnuje se problematice různých šatů a vzorů opeření, ale soustřeďuje se na tvar těla, chování a ekologii. Tento přístup ponechává dostatek prostoru pro zdůraznění detailů životního stylu, které mohou v jiných knihách chybět, a přesto jsou při určování a poznávání ptáků užitečné. Protože vynechává mnohé z toho, čím jsou ostatní určovací příručky zahlceny (a co bývá donekonečna opisováno z jedné knížky do druhé), může se zaměřit pouze na ty aspekty tvaru těla a chování, které by jinak mohly být přehlédnuty.
Jistě si také všimnete, že styl této knížky je poněkud odlišný. Určujeme ptáky podle chování je mnohem názornější než jiné terénní příručky – ilustrace zaplňují každou stránku a jsou opatřeny jen stručnými popisky. Nenajdete tu žádný souvislý text ani mapky rozšíření. Nezmiňujeme se ani o hlasech, které ptáci vydávají. Informace jsme skutečně omezili, abychom se soustředili na to, o čem se domníváme, že je jinde popsáno jen zřídka.
The Formula
F1 is now the fastest growing sport in the world; the full story of its unbelievable rise is a riveting saga only hinted at by the likes of Drive to Survive. In this book - the first, definitive account of how F1 came to achieve total global fandom - Wall Street Journal reporters Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg take us inside a world full of racing obsessives, glamorous settings, petrolheads, engineering geniuses, dashing racers and bitter rivalries.
The story of F1's world dominance is one of near-constant transformation and experimentation. This is a sport where the only way to win championships is to land a series of technical moon shots - and then do it all over again. With fast cars, big money, beautiful people, and glamorous locations from Monaco to Melbourne, The Formula tells the full, epic story of the sport. Starting in 1950s Britain, where six years of wartime engineering laid the foundations for a new type of motorcar racing; to the first global star partnership of Senna and Ecclestone; Spygate; Crashgate and its transition into an entertainment juggernaut. Bringing unique insight and access to F1's most storied teams and personalities - from Ferrari to Lewis Hamilton to Christian Horner and Daniel Ricciardo -The Formula offers a riveting portrait of the drivers, corporations, cars, rivalries, and audacious gambles that have shaped the sport for half a century.
The end result is a high-octane history of how modern F1 racing came to be - the first book to tell the story of the outrageous successes and spectacular crashes that led F1 to this extraordinary yet precarious moment. More than just a sports story, it is the tale of a commercial empire, one built in the 20th century, rendered almost obsolete in the early 21st, and re-emerged world-dominant today; a disrupter that claimed its place in the crowded sports marketplace through cash, personality, and a new understanding of what a sport needs to be in the age of wall-to-wall entertainment.
