Sinossi

"Amazing Animals" presents a fascinating exploration of Earth's remarkable fauna, examining the extraordinary abilities that have evolved across species through the lens of modern scientific research. The book systematically investigates three fundamental aspects: advanced sensory capabilities, physical adaptations for extreme environments, and sophisticated social behaviors that challenge our traditional understanding of animal intelligence.

 
From the mantis shrimp's incredible twelve-channel color vision to the space-surviving abilities of tardigrades, the text reveals how various species have developed remarkable solutions to survival challenges. Through a carefully structured approach, the book progresses from examining the physiological foundations of unique animal abilities to analyzing complex adaptive mechanisms and collective behaviors. Readers discover how bats master echolocation, octopi perfect their camouflage, and elephant communities maintain sophisticated communication networks.

 
The integration of classical zoological studies with cutting-edge research, including recent breakthroughs in neuroscience and genetic analysis, sets this work apart from traditional animal biology texts. What makes this book particularly valuable is its ability to connect animal capabilities to practical applications in biomimicry and medical research while maintaining scientific rigor and accessibility. The text bridges the gap between specialized scientific literature and public understanding, making it relevant for both academic audiences and wildlife enthusiasts. By linking animal adaptations to potential technological innovations and conservation strategies, the book demonstrates how understanding these remarkable creatures could benefit human advancement while supporting species preservation efforts.

    In this deeply personal and profoundly hopeful memoir, Dr. Clarisse Djeumo Djukom invites listeners into her intimate journey of living with bipolar disorder as a Christian woman. With raw honesty and unwavering faith, she chronicles her path from the subtle early warning signs—dismissed as stress or fatigue—through the devastating extremes of manic highs and crushing depressive lows, to finding stability, purpose, and peace. 
    More than just a story of survival, this book is a comprehensive guide for anyone touched by bipolar disorder. Dr. Djukom weaves together her lived experiences with practical strategies for managing the illness, including navigating medication, therapy, and lifestyle changes. She tackles often-overlooked challenges like the financial burden of treatment, the importance of building a strong support network, and the courage required to break through stigma and shame. 
    At the heart of this narrative is the author's Christian faith—an anchor that provides strength, hope, and meaning amidst suffering. Through prayer, scripture, and spiritual reflection, she demonstrates how faith can be integrated with medical treatment to create a holistic approach to healing. 
    Whether you're living with bipolar disorder, supporting a loved one, or seeking to understand this complex condition, this audiobook offers validation, practical wisdom, and a powerful message: recovery is possible, small victories matter, and you are not alone. Dr. Djukom's journey reminds us that our struggles do not define us—they can become the foundation for resilience, self-compassion, and a life filled with purpose.

    Winner of the 2021 New Welsh Writing Awards: Rheidol Prize for Prose with a Welsh Theme or Setting
    'Vivid, quick and iridescent, Birdsplaining is an absolute kingfisher of a book' – Mike Parker
    A wren in the house foretells a death, while a tech-loving parrot aids a woman's recovery. Crows' misbehaviour suggests how the 'natural' order, ranked by men, may be challenged. A blur of bunting above an unassuming bog raises questions about how nature reserves were chosen. Should the oriole be named 'green' or golden? The flaws of field guides across decades prove that this is a feminist issue. A buzzard, scavenging a severed ewe's leg, teaches taboos about curiosity.
    Whose poo is the mammal scat uncovered in the attic, and should the swallows make their home inside yours? The nightjar's churring brings on unease at racism and privilege dividing nature lovers, past and present. The skin of a Palestine sunbird provokes concern at the colonial origins of ornithology. And when a sparrowhawk makes a move on a murmuration, the starlings show how threat – in the shape of flood, climate change or illness – may be faced down.
    Jasmine Donahaye is in pursuit of feeling 'sharply alive', understanding things on her own terms and undoing old lessons about how to behave. Here, she finally confronts fear: of violence and of the body's betrayals, daring at last, to 'get things wrong'.
    Roaming across Wales, Scotland and California, she is unapologetically focused on the uniqueness of women's experience of nature and the constraints placed upon it. Sometimes bristling, always ethical, Birdsplaining upends familiar ways of seeing the natural world.
    'Unusual, vivid… remarkably easy-to-read & enjoyable. Doesn't shy away from taking on difficult subjects… A means for personal reflection.' – BTO News [British Trust for Ornithology]
    'An erudite, bold, questing and valid collection of beautifully written essays. Whilst one eye stays focused on the injustices and cruelties of the world, the other gulps in its jewels and preciousness. Moving, stirring, and vital.' – Niall Griffiths
    'Superb… by turns moving, funny, illuminating… and… thought-provoking' – Katherine Stansfield
    'Upends familiar ways of seeing the natural world ― and in doing so, creates its own ecological niche' – Karen Lloyd, Caught by the River
    'A curiosity and passion so unapologetically alive that her words form wings' – Lotte Williams, Nation.Cymru
    'Neither human-centred nor its opposite. Although she explores human grief, violence and recovery, Donahaye also has a beautifully conveyed passion for the unromantic aspects of the environment… She bridges the very gap [in nature writing] that she identifies.' – Saskia McCracken, The Welsh Agenda
    'Whilst birds might not provide the answer to the meaning of life for Donahaye, they do have a part to play in finding meaning IN life, whether that be through personal symbolism and anecdotal encounters, or in larger questions about power and responsibility.' – Gwales.com
    'A fresh way of looking at nature writing, a deeply personal account that embraces its own subjectivity' – Zoe Kramer, Wales Arts Review
    'This is a beautiful collection where the nonhuman appears as a close neighbour… [and which] searches for hope and resilience in times of risk.' – Yvonne Reddick, New Welsh Reader

    The narratives in this book are of journeys made in three wildernesses—on a coastal island, in a Western mountain range, and on the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. The four men portrayed here have different relationships to their environment, and they encounter each other on mountain trails, in forests and rapids, sometimes with reserve, sometimes with friendliness, sometimes fighting hard across a philosophical divide.

    THE TORONTO STAR'S  "30 BOOKS WE CAN'T WAIT TO READ THIS SPRING"The updated edition of a Toronto favourite meanders around some of the city’s unique neighborhoods and considers what makes a city walkableWhat is the 'Toronto look'? Glass skyscrapers rise beside Victorian homes, and Brutalist apartment buildings often mark the edge of leafy ravines, creating a city of contrasts whose architectural look can only be defined by telling the story of how it came together and how it works, today, as an imperfect machine.Shawn Micallef has been examining Toronto’s streetscapes for decades. His psychogeographic reportages situate Toronto's buildings and streets in living, breathing detail, and tell us about the people who use them; the ways, intended or otherwise, that they are being used; and how they are evolving. 
    Stroll celebrates Toronto's details – some subtle, others grand – at the speed of walking and, in so doing, helps us to better get to know its many neighbourhoods, taking us from well-known spots like the CN Tower and Pearson Airport to the overlooked corners of Scarborough and all the way to the end of the Leslie Street Spit in Lake Ontario 
    "Shawn Micallef offers an alternative perspective on the shape of neighbourhoods with an updated edition of Stroll, which originally appeared fifteen years ago. His 'psychogeographic walking tours' take us through what he calls the Middle, Westish, Northish, Eastish, and Eastest areas of Toronto, showing us the known and sometimes obscure buildings and features that define Canada’s largest city." – Pamela Divinsky, Literary Review of Canada 
    "Shawn Micallef is the unofficial mayor of Toronto, the genial ambassador the city needs and deserves. As he strolls Toronto’s broad avenues and its little streets, he finds hidden pockets of delight – and weirdness, too. Join him and fall in love with the city again." – Liz Renzetti, author of Bury the Lead 
    "When I moved to Toronto in 2011, Stroll was the first book I added to my library and course reading lists. My students and I get lost in the PATH, sneak into lobbies, and visit the archives with this book as our guide. Micallef’s friendly voice invites us to slow down and notice not just a few landmark buildings but the city’s built fabric as a whole. This updated version offers our collective memory a much-needed affectionate yet critical view of recent changes to the city." – Erica Allen-Kim, Author of Building Little Saigon 
    "Stroll is a delightful and eccentric guidebook, full of clever writing, amusing stories and charming maps that will make you want to strap on your walking shoes and head into the streets of Toronto." – Carol Off, Author/Broadcaster"Shawn Micallef looks at the city in a way we all should more often – he sees it as a living book that is alive with stories just waiting to be told to the attentive observer. In Stroll, he gives us an introduction to just how interesting and surprisingly dramatic those stories are, and how exciting our city is when we hear them." – David Crombie, former mayor of Toronto"A smart and intimate guide to the city that makes you feel like an insider from start to finish." – Douglas CouplandThis new edition updates things in the city that have changed and includes several new walks.
