  Felinology, the scientific study of cats, encompasses everything from their evolutionary history to their physiology, behavior, and conservation. As one of the most beloved and enigmatic creatures, cats have captured human interest for thousands of years. Their presence in mythology, folklore, and everyday life has made them a subject of fascination, while their unique biological and behavioral traits continue to intrigue researchers and cat enthusiasts alike. Understanding felinology not only deepens our appreciation of these remarkable animals but also plays a crucial role in improving their welfare, both in domestic settings and in the wild. 
  One of the primary reasons felinology is significant is its role in bridging the gap between domesticated and wild felines. While domestic cats (Felis catus) have lived alongside humans for millennia, they retain many of the instincts and behaviors of their wild counterparts. Studying these similarities and differences helps researchers understand how domestication has shaped modern felines and provides insight into their needs and natural tendencies. Felinology also sheds light on the relationships between different feline species, allowing scientists to trace their evolutionary paths and better comprehend the intricate links between them. 
  Beyond evolutionary studies, felinology is essential in understanding feline health and well-being. From genetic predispositions to common illnesses, scientific research into feline biology has led to advancements in veterinary medicine, improving the quality of life for both domestic and captive wild cats. Research in this field has contributed to the development of vaccines, treatments for chronic conditions, and strategies for preventing diseases that affect feline populations. Furthermore, knowledge of feline nutrition and behavior has allowed pet owners and veterinarians to optimize care, ensuring cats live healthier and longer lives.

  Beneath our feet lies one of the most complex and essential ecosystems on Earth — a living world that sustains every breath we take and every meal we eat. Yet for decades, we’ve treated soil as mere dirt: something to be dug, paved, poisoned, and forgotten. 
  In Hope in the Humus, Alex Southwick uncovers the hidden life of the ground below us and the extraordinary potential it holds to heal the planet. Travelling from regenerative farms to city gardens and ancient forests, Southwick meets the scientists, growers, and visionaries restoring vitality to the soil — and, in doing so, rebuilding the foundations of climate stability and human wellbeing. 
  Both intimate and expansive, this is a story of renewal — of how, by tending to the smallest organisms in the dark, we might rediscover a deeper relationship with the world above. 
  Gentle, wise, and ultimately uplifting, Hope in the Humus reminds us that recovery begins where life itself began: in the soil.

  Selecting the right bird and creating a comfortable living environment are crucial first steps in ensuring a happy and healthy life for your feathered companion. The process begins with understanding your own lifestyle and preferences, as this will help you choose a bird species that aligns with your needs. Birds vary widely in size, temperament, and care requirements. For example, small species like canaries and finches are low-maintenance and ideal for beginners, while parrots and cockatoos demand more attention and interaction due to their intelligence and social nature. 
  Once you’ve chosen your bird, setting up an appropriate home is the next essential step. A well-chosen cage serves as both a sanctuary and a playground for your bird, so it’s important to select one that suits its size and activity level. Smaller birds require less space but still benefit from a cage that allows for free movement, while larger species need ample room to stretch their wings and explore. The spacing between the bars should be appropriate for your bird’s size to ensure safety and prevent escapes. 
  Inside the cage, include essentials that will keep your bird comfortable and stimulated. Perches of varying diameters are necessary for maintaining foot health and simulating a natural environment. Food and water dishes should be easily accessible and kept clean at all times. Additionally, toys such as swings, bells, and chewable items are vital for mental stimulation and preventing boredom. Birds are intelligent and curious creatures, so rotating toys periodically will keep them engaged.

  In the rapidly urbanizing world of the 21st century, cities have emerged as the defining habitat for human existence—complex ecosystems where built environments, natural systems, social dynamics, and human health are inextricably intertwined. As urban populations continue to expand globally, the relationship between metropolitan environments and human wellbeing has become one of the most critical frontiers in our collective pursuit of sustainable, equitable development. This comprehensive exploration delves into the multifaceted domains of Urban Environmental Studies, Urban Health, and City Livability—examining how the physical, social, and ecological dimensions of urban spaces fundamentally shape population health outcomes, quality of life, and environmental sustainability. 
  The narrative of urban environmental health transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries; it encompasses the intricate connections between urban design, ecological systems, public health infrastructure, and social determinants that collectively define the healthfulness of city living. By examining the complex interplay between environmental exposures, built environment characteristics, healthcare access, and community resilience, this book illuminates how cities can function either as amplifiers of health inequities or as platforms for promoting wellbeing across diverse populations. Readers will journey through the multidimensional landscapes where urban health manifests—from the microscale of indoor air quality and neighborhood walkability to the macroscale of urban heat islands and metropolitan food systems—while exploring innovative approaches that cities worldwide are adopting to create more livable, healthy, and environmentally sustainable urban futures.
