Sinopsis

Ancient Beasts explores the fascinating intersection of paleontology, mythology, and folklore, arguing that ancient myths may be rooted in the discovery of prehistoric creatures' fossilized remains. The book unveils how early humans, lacking modern scientific understanding, creatively interpreted these findings, incorporating "ancient beasts" into their cultural narratives. For example, legends of giants across various cultures might stem from the discovery of giant fossilized bones. The book investigates the science behind paleontology, including fossilization and dating techniques. It also examines global mythological traditions, identifying recurring motifs of monstrous beings. Structured in three parts, Ancient Beasts progresses from introducing basic concepts to analyzing case studies and drawing broader conclusions about the relationship between prehistoric life and human imagination. Discover how discoveries of fossils influenced the origins of mythology and our enduring fascination with the unknown.

    An immersive, entertaining journey into the hidden life of the koala, revealing what life is really like up in the trees 
    Despite their iconic status and celebrity, koalas remain something of a mystery. Often affectionate in captivity, they seek out human assistance when in need of water or care yet can also be fierce and belligerent. They are beloved worldwide and feature in popular children’s stories, but are also plagued by sexually transmitted diseases and maligned for a lack of intelligence. Their diet consists solely of leaves that are full of toxins. In some states they are threatened with extinction, while in others they are dying from overpopulation. 
     
    Fuelled by her biologist’s background and deep curiosity, Danielle Clode delves into the world of koalas to discover what’s behind the sweet face on thousands of postcards. From their megafaunal ancestors to the disastrous effects of colonisation, from remarkable conservation success in the 1920s to the devastating bushfires of 2019–2020, Clode tells the story of koalas and their complex relationship with humans. Sharing the latest scientific insights and myth-busting facts, all woven through Clode’s award-winning storytelling, Koala takes readers up into the trees to reveal the truth about this extraordinary animal and what must be done to ensure its survival. 
     
    ‘The tree-dwelling koala is one of Australia's most iconic species, yet it is threatened by habitat loss. Danielle Clode, a natural storyteller, has written an insightful book that deepens our understanding of this fascinating animal and highlights the urgency of its survival.’ —PETER WOHLLEBEN, author of The Hidden Life of Trees

    Insects - A Very Short Introduction

    To date, more than a million insect species have been described, with probably at least another 5-8 million species waiting in the wings for a name. Insects are a fascinatingly diverse and beautiful spectrum of animals. They range in size from the tiny parasitic wasp, measuring a mere 139µm, to the aptly named Titan beetle, which can reach lengths of up to 17cm. They can be found on all continents of the world, from the Sahara Desert to the frozen wastes of Antarctica. While no insects live beneath the waves, the intrepid sea skaters skim the surface of some of the world's oceans. 
     
     
     
    This Very Short Introduction explores the extraordinary world of insects. It analyses insect evolution, taxonomy, and development, and describes their behavior, their life styles, and the interactions they have with other insects and other animals. As Simon Leather shows, insects are the bedrock on which human civilization rests; without them we would almost certainly not exist. Although they can be seen as pests of our crops plants, they are also invaluable for pollinating our flowering plants and are an invaluable link in all land ecosystems. As they face challenges from climate change and pesticides it has never been more important to understand these oft-dismissed creatures.

    The Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, and the yeti have long held a fascination for people the world over. Debates about their actual existence or what they might really be have continued for decades, if not centuries. Known also as cryptids, they have spawned a body of research known as cryptozoology. This entertaining book looks at the evidence of these mysterious monsters and others and explores what they might really be (if they exist at all), why they have been represented as they have, and the development of cryptozoology and how it has collected data to discover more about these unknown creatures.
