Synopsis

"Silent Stalkers" explores the hidden world of silent predation, revealing the evolutionary marvels that allow certain animals to hunt with near-undetectable stealth. It delves into how apex predators like owls, cats, snakes, and spiders have honed their skills through unique adaptations. One intriguing fact is how owls possess specialized feathers that disrupt airflow, minimizing noise during flight and enabling them to capture prey with incredible accuracy. The book examines both the biomechanics of their silent movement and the sensory adaptations that enhance their ability to locate unsuspecting prey.

 
The book progresses methodically, beginning with the fundamentals of acoustics and biomechanics. It unveils how animals have evolved to thrive in competitive ecosystems, showcasing natural selection in action. Each featured predator's profile includes case studies and detailed illustrations.

 
The book culminates in a discussion of the ecological implications of silent predation, exploring how these hunting strategies influence prey populations and contribute to overall ecosystem health. Its interdisciplinary approach blends cutting-edge research with accessible language, making complex concepts understandable to a broad audience interested in Nature, Biology, Science Life Sciences.

    The perfect gift book for Guinness lovers, served here.
    How did a beer from Dublin become a globally renowned symbol of Ireland?
    In 1759, Arthur Guinness left behind his family's small brewery in County Kildare to seek his fortunes in Dublin. After acquiring the ill-equipped St James' Gate brewery, he soon began to produce the Guinness stout that has become world famous.
    Rory Guinness, a direct descendant of the brewery's founder, has written the insider's guide to the world of Guinness. He surveys the family history, the unique brewing process, the brewery's distinctive industrial architecture and the beer's legendary advertising, revealing how Guinness and its people became interwoven into the fabric of Dublin life and created a brewing legacy that stretches around the world.
    This is also the story of a remarkable resurgence, because Guinness is now the bestselling beer in the UK, while Guinness Zero is reaching new markets. It is the official beer of the English Premier League, and a long-term partner of rugby's men's and women's Six Nations Championship.
    World of Guinness is a revised, expanded and redesigned edition of Rory Guinness's classic short introduction, illustrated with archival images, new photography of the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin and a selection of Guinness's witty advertisements. It is published in hardback for the first time and makes a perfect gift.

    Down East Maine is well known for its breathtaking scenery and art museums. However, much of the history in the traditional mining and fishing area of Rockland and St. George remains untold.  Hanson Gregory from Clam Cove invented the donut. Mary Brown Patten sailed a clipper around Cape Horn. Captain Albert Keller was shipwrecked on Easter Island and Effie Canning of Rockland composed the lullaby "Rock a Bye Baby." Captain Charles Holbrook of Tenants Harbor and his ship, the Hattie Dunn, fell victim to a German U-boat in the Atlantic.  Local author Jane Merrill uncovers the forgotten stories and personalities that bring this unique area's history into focus.

    'I often sit by the bank of the small river that flows through our farm in County Wicklow, fascinated by its many moods ... Getting to know a river is like reading the story of a person's life ...  from its young energetic stages in the hills to the slower-moving mature river, through to the tranquil water of lakes and finally to its resting place in the sea.'
    Richard Nairn is an ecologist who has been visiting waterways around Ireland for over half a century, fascinated by how they sustain and enrich our lives. Here he sets out on a year-long adventure to explore every stretch and tributary of the Avonmore River, which runs through Co. Wicklow. From source to sea, he immerses himself in the wildlife, archaeology, history and people connected to the river. Travelling to explore more of Ireland's rivers, lakes, wet woodlands, ponds and canals, Richard details encounters with dragonflies, crayfish, otters and great flocks of migratory waterbirds, and finds himself awestruck by the sense of a lost wilderness they convey.
    With our waterways now under serious threat, this is a love letter to Ireland's rivers and lakes, and a reminder of what we stand to lose.
    'Opens the window into a watery world. Personal yet panoramic.' Colin Stafford-Johnson, filmmaker.

    Uncover Meaning in Humanity’s Darkest Moments  
    WITH A FOREWORD BY DR. PHILIP STONE  
      
    In Beyond the Darkness: Transformative Journeys Through Dark Tourism, Dr. Chad Scott, multi-category #1 Amazon bestselling author, takes readers on a deeply personal and thought-provoking exploration of some of history’s most profound and challenging sites.  
    From the solemn corridors of Auschwitz to the shadowy depths of the Paris Catacombs and the reflective spaces of Ground Zero, Dr. Scott doesn’t just explore the physical remnants of tragedy—he uncovers their emotional and transformative potential. With vivid storytelling and personal reflections, he examines how even the world’s darkest chapters can teach us resilience, compassion, and the strength of the human spirit. Far more than a travel memoir, this is a powerful testament to how dark tourism allows us to connect with the past to find meaning in our own lives.  
    Beyond the Darkness asks questions that linger long after the journey ends:  
    What can we learn from humanity’s most difficult moments?  
    How do these places help us confront our own struggles, mortality, and capacity for growth?  
    What does it mean to bear witness to history and come away forever changed?  
    Perfect for readers of Anthony Bourdain’s adventurous spirit, Viktor Frankl’s exploration of meaning, and Sheryl Strayed’s personal vulnerability, this is for anyone drawn to powerful travel writing and meaningful history—a guide to finding hope, strength, and clarity in the shadows.

    Do you remember the best summer of your life? 
    New York City, 1945. Marjorie Jacobson and her best friend, Marty Garrett, arrive fresh from the Kappa house at the University of Iowa hoping to find summer positions as shopgirls. Turned away from the top department stores, they miraculously find jobs as pages at Tiffany & Co., becoming the first women to ever work on the sales floor—a diamond-filled day job replete with Tiffany blue shirtwaist dresses from Bonwit Teller's—and the envy of all their friends. 
    Hart takes us back to the magical time when she and Marty rubbed elbows with the rich and famous; pinched pennies to eat at the Automat; experienced nightlife at La Martinique; and danced away their weekends with dashing midshipmen. Between being dazzled by Judy Garland's honeymoon visit to Tiffany, celebrating VJ Day in Times Square, and mingling with Café society, she fell in love, learned unforgettable lessons, made important decisions that would change her future, and created the remarkable memories she now shares with all of us.
