Join scientist Dr Rosa Vasquez Espinoza as she uncovers one of the most unexplored regions on the planet. Dr Rosa is no stranger to the Amazon. Growing up with the rainforest as her back garden, she learnt the lessons of the rainforest from her grandmother, a native healer in natural medicine. She went on to pursue a classical education in science, gaining a PhD in the US, but has always been pulled back to the heart of the Amazon. As a leading biologist in her field, Rosa continues to explore the region through a unique blend of scientific inquiry and ancient insight. In this debut, you'll learn about Dr Rosa's journeys in the Amazon: her treacherous encounters with a boiling river, her conservation work with stingless bees, her experience of taking ayahuasca as a natural psychedelic - and all the amazing biodiversity of the rainforest. At the heart of Rosa's expedition is her passion to combine science with the indigenous knowledge of the Amazon. She shares her experience of learning from the indigenous communities that she visits, and shows what they have to teach us - stretching beyond the realm scientific knowledge. Here Rosa learns the most important lessons in how to reconnect to the natural world - and, in turn, will teach us to do the same. In this book, Rosa celebrates the richness of Amazonian culture, the wonders of biodiversity, and the enduring spiritual connections between humanity and the natural world.

Rok štěněte
Jaké to je být štěnětem? Na to se snaží přijít autorka bestselleru Uvnitř psa Alexandra Horowitzová. Strávila rok pečlivým sledováním každodenní existence svého štěněte a zamýšlí se nad jeho projevy ve světle současných vědeckých poznatků o raném vývoji psa.
Jen málokdo zná svého psa už od prvního dne jeho života. Stvoření, které se stane nedílnou součástí naší rodiny, naším stálým společníkem a nejlepším přítelem, se narodí bez nás, do vlastní rodiny. Jeho rozhodující raný vývoj, přerod štěněte v psa, jde obvykle zcela mimo nás. Psí badatelka Alexandra Horowitzová se to pokusila změnit se svým novým štěnětem. V knize Rok štěněte mapuje vývoj fenky Quiddity (Quid) od jejího příchodu na svět až po první narozeniny.
Horowitzová nejprve pozoruje první týdny Quiddity s její psí mámou a deseti sourozenci. Poté, co štěně přejde do domácnosti tří lidí, dvou velkých psů a ostražité kočky, sleduje autorka každý jeho další týden v novém prostředí. Dokumentuje sociální a kognitivní vývojová stadia, která spousta lidí v životě štěněte přehlédne, pokud se věnují pouze trénování správných návyků a žádoucího chování. Výcvik chování psa, když se na něj příliš soustředíme, snadno zahltí první měsíce psího života v nové rodině, a většinou nám potom uniká onen zásadní vývoj, v němž se štěně stává samo sebou, v období odpovídajícímu kojeneckému věku, dětství, rané pubertě a dospívání.
Kniha Rok štěněte je nepostradatelná pro každého, kdo prochází frustrujícím, zábavným a jednoznačně báječným prvním rokem psího života.

The Physics of Birds and Birding
Birding has become one of the world’s most popular pastimes for good reason. The vibrant colors, aerial finesse, and vocal talents of birds draw us to nature, stimulate our admiration and pique our curiosity. We cannot help but have questions as we encounter these elegant creatures. How do iridescent feathers seemingly glow? What must a hummingbird do to hover? How does a tiny animal produce all that music? By what means do some birds sense Earth’s magnetic field and use it for navigation? Why is it that peering through a few pieces of glass can make a distant bird seem so close? Such enquiry brings us to the realm of physics. The Physics of Birds and Birding sets out to blaze the best possible trail through this landscape. It steers clear complex technical specialization, while avoiding overused paths that lead to unsatisfying, facile explanations. It is a guide not just to the fascinating science of birds and birding, but to the deeper connections that tie all of nature together. Birders and naturalists from all backgrounds will find much of interest here – both in terms of mysteries they’ve long wondered about, as well as some surprising linkages among what is seemingly unrelated. This unique and remarkable book is an invitation to appreciate what you might not have been seeing all along.

Baseball's First Superstar
If there was a first face of baseball, it was arguably Christopher “Christy” Mathewson. At the opening of the twentieth century, baseball was considered an undignified game played by ruffians for gamblers’ benefit. Mathewson changed all that. When he signed with the Giants in 1900, his contract stated he wouldn’t pitch on Sundays, and he was known for his honesty, integrity, and good looks. In his first fourteen seasons, as a pitcher for the Giants, Mathewson never won fewer than twenty games in a season, and he almost single-handedly won the 1905 World Series. In 1918, though age thirty-eight and exempt from military service, he enlisted for World War I, where he exposed himself to nearly lethal amounts of mustard gas as he taught soldiers how to put on gas masks. When he returned home, he was diagnosed with lung problems and tuberculosis, which led to his untimely death at the age of forty-five. After Mathewson’s death, his eulogies were many, but it was impossible to catch the essence of his life in a single newspaper column. Jane Mathewson, his widow, was determined to provide the reading public with a more intimate portrait of her husband and approached prominent sportswriter Bozeman Bulger, who had known Mathewson for twenty years. Bulger wrote a series of articles titled “The Life Story of Christy Mathewson.” His portraits about the player were amplified by original accounts from Jane, and several unpublished chapters from Mathewson himself, which had been discovered among his papers. These combined accounts allow readers to hear from Mathewson and those who knew him best. A superstar long before that term was coined, Mathewson became an icon of sportsmanship. He was posthumously elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame at its first induction ceremony in 1936. In Baseball’s First Superstar Alan D. Gaff brings Mathewson to life through Mathewson’s own writings and those of others, largely lost to history until now.
