  A story of love, marriage, and flowers from beloved writer and gardening enthusiast Alysia Li Ying Sawchyn It begins with an ending. Six months before they were to be married, Alysia Li Ying Sawchyn’s fiancée broke off their engagement, leaving her stunned and reeling. Looking for stability — and health insurance — she married a friend instead. Then, while sharing a home and tending to a garden together, the marriage of convenience turned into a marriage of love. In science, art, and mythology, we cannot help but to see flowers as metaphors for the fleeting nature of youth, vitality, and love. While it’s easy to casually admire something beautiful, it requires a closer look to appreciate the effort that produces that beauty. In I Have This Thing For Flowers, Sawchyn does just that, likening the many flowers she has grown in her garden to a range of relationships and activities from motherhood to ex-boyfriends to Greek mythology.  Cataloguing all of the great romances of her life like an herbarium of flowers preserved from the garden, Sawchyn examines the kinds of love that can't be explained.

  Is a zebra black with white stripes or white with black stripes? And why do flamingos stand on one leg while bats hang upside down? Did you know that a chameleon’s tongue can shoot out at five times the acceleration of a fighter jet? 
  In The Buck That Buries its Poo, naturalist Quinton Coetzee answers these and many other intriguing wildlife questions. He also dispels countless myths and elucidates some of the legends that surround 
  creatures in the South African bush we thought we knew all about. For example, bats do not get tangled in people’s hair (because they are far too adept at flying) and elephants are not afraid of mice (but they do fear bees!). 
  Other tall tales you might hear around the campfire are that lions roll in animal dung, entrails or carcasses to disguise their scent, and that rhinos have a predilection for stamping out fires. What is true, though, is that hyenas are more closely related to cats than to dogs. This handy guide is based on Coetzee’s own research and that of others, and his experience gleaned over decades living close to nature and wildlife. It seeks to unravel the mysteries of nature in Africa – from mammals and birds to arthropods and plants – with fascinating information and fun trivia. It is a book that will enlighten and entertain. 
  PS: Zebras are black with white stripes!

  The Veiled Universe - Exploring...

  Dark matter is one of the most elusive and mysterious components of the universe. Though it cannot be directly observed through traditional means such as light, it is believed to make up about 27% of the universe's total mass and energy content. This strange substance does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, making it invisible to our telescopes and detectors. Its existence is inferred primarily through its gravitational effects on visible matter, such as galaxies and galaxy clusters. Without dark matter, the movement of galaxies would not make sense based on the gravitational pull of visible matter alone. 
  The concept of dark matter was first proposed in the early 20th century. In 1933, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky observed that the galaxies within the Coma galaxy cluster were moving faster than expected based on the visible matter alone. He suggested that there must be some unseen mass, which he called “dark matter,” providing the additional gravitational pull needed to keep the galaxies from flying apart. Since then, astronomers have found similar evidence in other galaxy clusters, and the hypothesis of dark matter has become a cornerstone of modern cosmology. 
  Despite the compelling evidence for dark matter, its exact nature remains unknown. Various theories have been proposed, with the most widely accepted one suggesting that dark matter consists of weakly interacting massive particles, or WIMPs. These hypothetical particles would interact through gravity and possibly the weak nuclear force, but not through electromagnetic forces, which would explain why they do not emit light. However, despite decades of searching, no direct detection of WIMPs has been made. This has led to the consideration of alternative explanations, such as axions, sterile neutrinos, and other exotic particles.
