  Good Grief - On Loving Pets Here...

  An unexpected, poignant, and personal account of loving and losing pets, exploring the singular bonds we have with our companion animals, and how to grieve them once they’ve passed. 
  E.B. Bartels has had a lot of pets—dogs, birds, fish, tortoises. As varied a bunch as they are, they’ve taught her one universal truth: to own a pet is to love a pet, and to own a pet is also—with rare exception—to lose that pet in time. 
  But while we have codified traditions to mark the passing of our fellow humans, most cultures don’t have the same for pets. Bartels takes us from Massachusetts to Japan, from ancient Egypt to the modern era, in search of the good pet death. We meet veterinarians, archaeologists, ministers, and more, offering an idiosyncratic, inspiring array of rituals—from the traditional (scattering ashes, commissioning a portrait), to the grand (funereal processions, mausoleums), to the unexpected (taxidermy, cloning). The central lesson: there is no best practice when it comes to mourning your pet, except to care for them in death as you did in life, and find the space to participate in their end as fully as you can. 
  Punctuated by wry, bighearted accounts of Bartels’s own pets and their deaths, Good Grief is a cathartic companion through loving and losing our animal family.

  A fascinating journey into the secret life of insects, with QR codes linked to videos that bring every creature to life.
  Just as birds have yearly rhythms, so do bees, beetles, butterflies and other insects. Wildlife experts Dominic Couzens and Gail Ashton discover 52 minibeasts from around the world.
  They tell the story of what is happening week-by-week in the insect world, in our own backyards, window boxes and in hidden corners of our homes. From the daily grind of the house spider building a new web each morning, to the vast appetites of ladybirds, which can devour hundreds of aphids a day, and the glory of the Stag beetle's maiden flight. We delve into the world of the lethal Sydney funnelweb spider in Australian gardens, the migratory mission of the Monarch butterfly in America and the life of the backdoor scorpions in South Africa. In among the seasonal behaviour, the authors have woven history and folklore.
  These brilliant stories are complemented by wonderful illustrations by Lesley Buckingham that bring out the beauty of the entomological world. A QR code for each entry takes you to a video file to further explore the habits of these intriguing creatures. Revealing the true wonder of our insect neighbours, this book will appeal to all nature lovers.

  Delicate yet powerful, the Mourning Dove, scientifically known as Zenaida macroura, enchants listeners with its slender form, small head, and gracefully elongated tail. Its feathers paint a canvas of earthy hues, with brown and gray adorning its upper parts and a soothing beige gracing its underparts. In this meticulously captured binaural audio, you will find yourself transported to the Californian Woodlands, where a gentle babbling river stream weaves its melodic course through the surroundings. Harmonizing with the tranquil river, the Mourning Dove's cooing calls serenade your ears, filling the air with their unique and captivating melodies. As you listen, you may also encounter the harmonious contributions of other avian companions, such as the Acorn Woodpecker, while the gentle chorus of crickets and the occasional bullfrog's chirp enhance the symphony of nature.
