    Between the pull of the tides and the drift of the clock lies the rhythm of a traveler’s life. 
    In Tides and Timezones, acclaimed travel writer Reece Davis explores how constant movement changes not only where we are — but who we become. From sleepless nights beneath foreign skies to quiet dawns spent in transit, Davis reflects on how time stretches and bends across continents, and how memory anchors us when everything else is in motion. 
    Through poignant stories, vivid landscapes, and moments of stillness amid the rush, Davis examines what it means to carry fragments of the world within us — and how, over time, travel becomes less about escape and more about return. 
    Elegant, meditative, and profoundly human, Tides and Timezones is a love letter to the fleeting, timeless art of wandering.

    What effect do the places where we live or work have on us? Historian Roberta Rio, who researches the history of buildings, apartments and properties for her clients, regularly comes across astonishing and recurrent patterns.
    
    In this book she reveals what the Etruscans, the Romans and Cathedral architects all knew about the effects of places, what we ourselves should know and how we can find it out.
    
    Rio offers us a refreshingly down-to-earth summary of the findings of her research, and makes it practicable for our own personal use.
    
    How do we know if a place is good or bad for us? Which place is good to rest and which to work in? Why are there places where relationships flourish and others where they are more likely to break up?

    Ichthyology is the branch of zoology dedicated to the study of fish, encompassing their biology, classification, evolution, and ecological roles. Fish, as one of the most diverse and widespread vertebrate groups, inhabit nearly every aquatic environment on Earth, from the deepest ocean trenches to high-altitude freshwater streams. Ichthyology provides essential insights into the anatomy, physiology, behavior, and adaptation of fish, making it a critical field for understanding aquatic ecosystems and their conservation. 
    The scope of ichthyology extends beyond mere classification, delving into the intricate relationships fish share with their environment and other organisms. Researchers in this field examine the evolutionary history of fish, tracing their origins from primitive jawless species to the highly specialized forms seen today. With over 34,000 known species, fish display an incredible range of adaptations, including bioluminescence, electrolocation, and unique reproductive strategies. By studying these adaptations, ichthyologists gain a deeper appreciation for the complexity of aquatic life and the factors driving evolutionary change. 
    Ichthyology is also crucial for understanding the ecological balance of aquatic systems. Fish play key roles in food chains, acting as both predators and prey, regulating populations of other aquatic organisms, and contributing to nutrient cycling. Their interactions with their habitats can indicate the overall health of ecosystems, making them valuable bioindicators. Studying fish populations and their responses to environmental changes helps scientists predict and mitigate the effects of climate change, pollution, and habitat destruction.
