  The story of herring is entwined in the history of commercial fishing. For over two millennia, herring has been commercially caught and its importance to the coastal peoples of Britain cannot be measured. At one point tens of thousands were involved in the catching, processing and sale of herring. They followed the shoals around the coast from Stornoway to Penzance and many towns on Britain's east coast grew rich on the backs of the 'silver darlings'.
  Fishing historian Mike Smylie looks at the effects of herring on the people who caught them, their unique ways of life, the superstitions of the fisher folk, their boats and the communities who lived for the silver darlings.
  With a wealth of illustrations, this fascinating book reveals the little-known history of the herring. And for those who've neglected the silver darlings for lesser fish such as cod and haddock, there are a number of mouth-watering recipes to try.

  Black Holes Explained for...

  The Universe Explained

  You have read the headlines about black holes and watched the documentaries, and you still could not explain one to a friend. The words are familiar — event horizon, singularity, spaghettification — but nothing quite locks into place.
  
  This is astronomy for beginners told entirely in plain English, built on comparisons you can hold in your head instead of equations you have to trust. You follow a massive star through its final minutes as gravity wins, stand at the edge of an event horizon to see why light cannot climb back out, and learn why a clock near a black hole genuinely runs slow. Then you travel to the supermassive giants anchoring galaxies, including the four-million-sun monster at the centre of our own, and hear where the honest arguments among physicists begin.
  
  By the end you understand black holes well enough to explain them at a dinner table, and the night sky feels larger than it did. Press play, and let curiosity take it from here.

  We can all agree—birds are terrible. They're stupid and won't shut up. 
   
   
   
  Featuring fifty of the absolute worst birds to fly the earth, Kracht identifies each of their most terrible qualities, details exactly why they suck, and shows you why. Including all-new, all-worst fowl, such as: the absolute waste of feathers Cruddy Turdstone (Ruddy Turnstone), the utter a-hole Blank Staring-Eyes Flycrapper (Black Paradise Flycatcher), the outright loser Dowdy Woodfucker (Downy Woodpecker), and many more! 
   
   
   
  Even the author's previous bird takedown guides are no preparation for this hilariously harrowing collection of squawking, conceited, trash-eating, and even murderous idiots. The horror. The horror . . . 
   
   
   
  LOVE BIRDS? HATE BIRDS?: For those who hate birds and for bird lovers everywhere with a sense of humor, this handbook is equal parts profane and funny, and—let's face it—true. 
   
   
   
  ENTERTAINING AND EDUCATIONAL: This uproarious guide to all things wings includes tips for bird identification, musings on the avian population and classification, and more. Plus, each entry is accompanied by facts about a bird's (annoying) call, its (dumb) migratory pattern, its (downright tacky) markings, and more.
