Synopsis

Dragonfly Speed explores the fascinating world of dragonflies, focusing on their exceptional flight capabilities and predatory behaviors. It examines how these aerial predators have evolved into highly efficient hunters, offering insights into aerodynamics, neurobiology, and ecological balance. One intriguing fact is that dragonflies possess nearly 360-degree vision, enabling them to spot prey from a considerable distance. The book uses a data-driven approach to present scientific findings, incorporating diagrams and illustrations for clarity. 

 
The book delves into the biomechanics of dragonfly flight, their visual and neural adaptations for hunting, and their ecological role. It reveals how their wing structure, muscle physiology, and sensory systems contribute to their remarkable speed and maneuverability. By analyzing high-speed video recordings and neurological studies, Dragonfly Speed demonstrates the link between the dragonfly's physical adaptations and hunting success. 

 
The book progresses through the basic biology of dragonflies, the mechanics of their flight, and their sensory systems, concluding with their role in ecosystems and conservation challenges.

    In June 2016 I decided to sell my house of 22 years and leave my comfort zone. Slowly the Camino de Santiago showed itself and I decided, with no rucksack or hiking experience to start...  But that’s another story, the one that led to this one.My Camino in Spain taught me to let go of everything I didn’t need, to travel light and wash my clothes in the shower, but most importantly it taught me to trust my heart and my feet, to let my journey unfold naturally, instinctively, intuitively.  In the words of the theme song from my favourite TV show, “Nobody knows where they might end up” when they follow their heart.Riding high on reaching the true destination of my Camino I raced to the airport to leave a country I had fallen in love with but which I’d had enough of (for the moment).  There were two flights out that night; Seattle or Vancouver.  Which country would I end up in next?  My heart was calling me to Seattle, the Emerald City, the home of my TV family, but it all depended on my cab driver and how fast I could run with a loaded rucksack.

    Why Nature Matters is a practical guide for restoring the bond between children and the natural world. Grounded in evidence-based practice, it provides the listener with an understanding of why a connection to nature is so vital for children and how to make that connection happen. 
     
    The book presents a holistic model of nature engagement that nurtures the wellbeing and development of our children. It introduces the Nature Connection Pyramid, which moves through four levels of nature connection, giving listeners the science of 'why' they should make connections to nature a priority, alongside the 'how', with practical exercises and activities. This framework begins by exploring the foundations of attachment, safety, and sensory connection, before considering creative exploration, meaning-making, and, finally, higher nature connections. Each chapter includes rich and diverse stories about nature connections and their impact, as well as reflections and top tips on how to bring more nature into children's lives. 
     
    This resource shows and tells why nature matters and gives ideas on how to rewild ourselves and not just the planet. It will be an essential tool for early childhood educators and teachers, nature practitioners, and occupational therapists and other allied health professionals.
