Sinopse

Wildlife Threat Management provides a comprehensive guide to safely navigating encounters with large mammals in adventure zones, emphasizing proactive strategies for risk management and coexistence. This book underscores the importance of techniques like effective noise deterrents, strategic camp placement, and meticulous scent reduction in minimizing human-wildlife conflict.

 
For example, the book explores how improper scent management can inadvertently attract animals, leading to potentially dangerous situations, and how understanding animal behavior is crucial for effective deterrent use. By drawing from wildlife biology, conservation, and risk management, the book advocates for a shift from reactive, often lethal, methods to preventative measures that protect both people and animals.

 
It presents information in an accessible style, suitable for park rangers, wildlife guides, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone venturing into wildlife habitats. Examining psychological factors influencing human-animal interactions, the book systematically builds across chapters on noise deterrents, camp placement, and scent reduction protocols, offering practical applications in diverse environments.

What a Bee Knows - Exploring the...

Stephen Buchmann

For many of us, the buzzing of a bee elicits panic. But the next time you hear that low droning sound, look closer: the bee has navigated to this particular spot for a reason using a fascinating set of tools. She may be using her sensitive olfactory organs, which provide a 3D scent map of her surroundings. She may be following visual landmarks or instructions relayed by a hive-mate. She may even be tracking electrostatic traces left on flowers by other bees. What a Bee Knows: Exploring the Thoughts, Memories, and Personalities of Bees invites us to follow bees' mysterious paths and experience their alien world. 
 
 
 
Although their brains are incredibly small—just one million neurons compared to humans' one hundred billion—bees have remarkable abilities to navigate, learn, communicate, and remember. In What a Bee Knows, entomologist Stephen Buchmann explores a bee's way of seeing the world and introduces the scientists who make the journey possible. We travel into the field and to the laboratories of noted bee biologists who have spent their careers digging into the questions most of us never thought to ask (for example: Do bees dream? And if so, why?). With each discovery, Buchmann's insatiable curiosity and sense of wonder is infectious.

Be More Sausage: Lifelong...

Matt Whyman

A love letter to the small but mighty dachshund or, as it’s more affectionally known, the Sausage Dog.
This book – almost as adorable as its namesake – proves that sausage dogs are not just sweet, soft and a little bit silly to look at. They can be an example to us all.
Despite having the odds stacked against it, this little pooch can turn any situation to its advantage. It’s the underdog that always comes out on top, displaying remarkable resilience, tenacity and bravery at every turn.
Sausage dogs may be only ankle high, but they will stop at nothing to live life to the fullest, teaching us humans some valuable life lessons along the way. They don’t care that they look more like a wind-up toy than a fierce guard dog, or that their bark is much louder than their bite.
Being more sausage is about breaking free from restraints, overcoming physical and emotional shortcomings, and chewing up the social conventions that conspire to hold us back. This is our chance to unleash that inner dachshund, live long and prosper!
Whyman's Be More Sausage is a delightful exploration of the world of pets, particularly focusing on the humorous and resilient nature of the dachshund breed. Through engaging narratives and stunning photography, the book captures the essence of these animals, encouraging readers to embrace their own inner sausage.
For fans of Matt Haig (The Comfort Book), Damian Hall (We Can't Run Away From This), Anna Mcnuff (Barefoot Britain), Dean Karnazes (Ultramarathon Man), and Richard Askwith (Unbreakable).
