Synopsis

Fungi Hidden Networks unveils the fascinating world of underground fungal connections that form nature's most sophisticated communication system. This groundbreaking exploration reveals how mycelial networks, often called the Wood Wide Web, create intricate pathways connecting hundreds of trees across forest floors, fundamentally challenging our traditional understanding of forest ecosystems.

 
The book traces the remarkable 450-million-year evolution of fungi from single-celled organisms to become the crucial mediators of forest health we know today. Through detailed analysis of cutting-edge research, including advanced imaging technologies and molecular studies, readers discover how these fungal networks facilitate resource sharing, transmit warning signals about incoming threats, and support forest regeneration.

 
The text masterfully explains how forests function as superorganisms, with mycelial networks serving as their neural system. Structured in three comprehensive sections, the book progresses from examining the physical structure and biochemistry of mycelial networks to exploring their role in forest communication and finally investigating their influence on ecosystem resilience.

 
By integrating research from leading mycologists and ecologists, this accessible yet scientifically rigorous work bridges multiple disciplines, offering practical insights for forest management while maintaining scholarly depth. The book's evidence-based approach, enriched with real-world examples and case studies, makes complex ecological concepts accessible to both researchers and informed general readers interested in natural systems.

CEO Led Sales - The new model to...

Andrew Phillips

CEO-Led Sales outlines The Right Model to revolutionise your sales process and dramatically improve your confidence in the predictability of your sales numbers. This has to start from the top with you, the CEO.
As the CEO of a sales organisation, how many times have you said to yourself:
"thank god our customers are buying because we're not selling"
"we had ten-times pipeline coverage, but we still missed our number?"
Or ... heard from your sales leads the following:
"the person who was going to sign off on our deal has gone on leave"
"this is a strategic deal - we must discount to win"
"they decided to do nothing?"
If these lines sound familiar, then your sales team is stuck in the past. They are struggling to keep pace
with the market and will continue to stumble into the future. That's not to say you won't make your
numbers on occasion, but you can be guaranteed your company won't be the clear leader in its market.
This creates distrust with your sales team and that uneasy feeling of not being sure you will meet your
targets.
Is there a better way?
After twenty years as a senior IT sales leader addressing this problem and demonstrating measurable
success across multiple organisations, Andrew Phillips knows there is.
CEO-Led Sales outlines The Right Model to revolutionise your sales process and dramatically improve
your confidence in the predictability of your sales numbers. This has to start from the top with you, the
CEO.
The process is a multi-year investment to transform your sales organisation. It's challenging, but the
results are consistent and the revenue reliable. Andrew Phillips invites you to take the next step and
discover the benefits of CEO-Led Sales.

The Life of Birds

David Attenborough

A fully updated new edition of David Attenborough’s bestselling classic.
BIRDS. 11,000 species, the most widespread of all animals: on icebergs, in the Sahara or under the sea, at home in our gardens or flying for over a year at a time. Earthbound, we can only look and listen, enjoying their lightness, freedom and richness of plumage and song.
David Attenborough has been watching and learning all his life. His classic book, now fully updated with the latest discoveries in ornithology, is a brilliant introduction to bird behaviours around the world: what they do and why they do it. He looks at each step in birds' lives and the problems they have to solve: learning to fly; finding food; communicating; mating and caring for nests, eggs and young; migrating; facing dangers and surviving harsh conditions.
Sir David has no equal in helping others to learn and making it exciting. His curiosity and enjoyment are infectious. He shows the lifelong pleasure that birds around us offer, and how much we miss if unaware of them.
Attenborough, the Sunday Times bestselling author, delves into the science of birdwatching, offering readers a comprehensive guide to understanding the natural world. His passion for zoology and ecology is palpable, making this non-fiction book a captivating read for anyone interested in nature and its history.
For fans of David Allen Sibley (Birds of Instagram), Joshua Foer (Atlas Obscura, 2nd Edition), Steve Brusatte (The Rise and Reign of the Mammals), Martin Stevens (Sensory Ecology, Behaviour, and Evolution), and Jonnie Hughes (Earthshot).

The Lagoon - Encounters with the...

James Michael Dorsey

Once a killing ground for whalers hunting a leviathan they called the "devilfish," the San Ignacio Lagoon in Baja, Mexico, is now an environmental and spiritual sanctuary—the only place in the world where animals in their natural aquatic environment routinely seek out human contact. A nursery for the gray whale since before recorded history, the lagoon and its stories, told here by James Michael Dorsey, illuminate the magic of human connection to animals, and what those bonds teach us about ourselves and our purpose on this shared planet. 
 
 
 
Weaving two decades of San Ignacio adventures with the history of the lagoon, Dorsey vividly captures the lively people of Baja, like the mystical godfather of whale-watching, Pachico Mayoral, as well as the whales he's bonded with over the years, like Slackjaw, Patch, and Dervish. Looming over his journeys are the many dangers to the area, from the Mitsubishi Corporation's attempts to build salt works to plans for resort development on the Baja coast, to pollution and climate change, and even to the orcas who hunt the gray whales. 
 
 
 
A tale of wondrous bonds between the intelligent, spirited gray whales and the people from around the world who come to this place to touch, kiss, and play with them—The Lagoon is a testament to the importance of preserving these animals and their natural habitats.
