Green Lewisham - Our treasured open spaces

Candy Blackham

Sinossi

In Green Lewisham we are invited to explore the surprisingly numerous green spaces in the Borough of Lewisham in south east London. Rivers, trees, grassy glades and wildlife are round almost every corner, hidden between houses and alongside railway lines and all lying less than ten miles from Trafalgar Square in central London. We have a brief history behind the many calming and natural sites and the photographs tempt us to go walking every day, and at all times of the year, as the trees change from bare branches to green leaves and then the brilliant jewel-like colours of the autumn. Discover herons and egrets, swans, and many, many species of birds as well as the ever-present ring-necked parakeets. Walk along the centuries-old River Ravensbourne and its tributaries, or find stunning views of London from the hilltops. Lewisham is celebrated as the London Borough of Culture in 2022. Candy Blackham has given us a unique book which opens our eyes to appreciating and enjoying the natural, green spaces in this special year.

The Living Great Lakes -...

Jerry Dennis

If fresh water is to be treasured, the Great Lakes are the mother lode. No bodies of water can compare to them. One of them, Superior, is the largest lake on earth, and the five lakes together contain a fifth of the world's supply of standing fresh water. Their surface area of 95,000 square miles is greater than New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island combined. They are so vast that they dominate much of the geography, climate, and history of North America. In one way or another, they affect the lives of tens of millions of people.The Living Great Lakes is the most complete book ever written about the history, nature, and science of these remarkable lakes at the heart of North America. From the geological forces that formed them to the industrial atrocities that nearly destroyed them, to the greatest environmental success stories of our time, the lakes are portrayed in all their complexity. The book, however, is much more than just history. It is also the story of the lakes as told by biologists, fishermen, sailors, and others whom Jerry Dennis grew to know while traveling with them on boats and hiking with them on beaches and islands.

Long Lived Plants and Animals

Martin K. Ettington

I’ve written a number of books on longevity and immortality. But I’ve only had some partial chapters on long lived plants and animals.This is an important subject because all of this life is based on the same DNA code we have in our own bodies.If this life can live for hundreds or thousands of years then this says that it is possible for humanity to live that long also.Here I’ve researched and included lots of specimens of animal and plant life which represent the extremes of longevity for widely varying life. This book covers the plant, animal kingdoms and includes lifeforms which are essentially immortal.Also, it is just fascinating to see who the longest lived mammals are, the oldest fish, and what about trees and bushes which have been around for thousands of years.

Social Media Influencer...

Bryan Bren

Have you ever wondered how you’d be able to take your business to the next level? How about being able to reach more customers with your products/services? Would you also like to tap into the power of having a well-renowned individual assist you with your campaigns? 
If all of this sounds like it’s too good to be true, it isn’t. It’s what happens when you reach out to a “marketing influencer” and build a long-term, solid relationship with them and have them promote your services. 
What’s a marketing influencer anyway? 
A marketing influencer is someone who is somewhat famous through the online space of the internet that promotes your services/products.. Essentially, you’re targeting your marketing efforts toward a well-known person, versus a target audience. Leveraging the power of someone who is somewhat famous on the web (all while still being altruistic), can prove to be a MUCH MORE effective marketing strategy as opposed to targeting certain groups of people through blogs or social media for example.

Marine Biology - A Very Short...

Philip V. Mladenov

The oceans are our planet's most distinctive and imposing natural habitat. They cover seventy-one percent of its surface; support a remarkably diverse and exquisitely adapted array of life forms; and possess many of Earth's most significant, intriguing, and inaccessible ecosystems. In an era in which humans are significantly altering the global environment, the oceans are undergoing rapid and profound changes. The study of marine biology is thus taking on added importance and urgency as people struggle to understand and manage these changes to protect our marine ecosystems. Healthy oceans produce half of the oxygen we breathe; stabilize our climate; create ecosystems that protect our coasts from storms; provide us with abundant food; and host diverse organisms that provide us with natural products for medicine and biotechnology.In this Very Short Introduction, marine biologist Philip Mladenov provides an accessible and up-to-date overview of marine biology, offering a tour of marine life and marine processes that ranges from the unimaginably abundant microscopic organisms that drive the oceans' food web to the apex predators that we exploit for food; from polar ocean ecosystems to tropical coral reefs; and from the luxurious kelp beds of the coastal ocean to deep-ocean hydrothermal vents where life exists without the energy of the sun.
