  The thrilling story of a pioneering conservationist working with dogs to protect wildlife from poachers 
  Conraad de Rosner is a pioneering game ranger, working with dogs to protect wildlife against poachers – both ‘bushmeat’ poachers, who use cruel snares to trap animals, and criminal syndicates killing for rhinoceros horn and capturing critically endangered pangolins, the most trafficked animal in the world. 
  Con’s life – constantly at risk from poachers, wildlife and even his own fellow rangers – has been saved on numerous occasions by his devoted canine companions. His first dog, Zingela, a Weimaraner, saved Con from near certain death at the hands of two fellow rangers; on another occasion, Zingela alerted Con to a concealed wounded buffalo, one of Africa’s most dangerous animals, about to charge. When Zingela was tragically killed, hit by a car while Con was away, the only meagre consolation was that Con had kept Landa, one of the nine puppies sired by Zingela. Landa followed in his father’s footsteps as the leader of the canine anti poaching team that is still operating today. 
  Con’s story is an epic of modern-day African wildlife conservation, filled with courage, adventure and romance.

  Iron Deficiency Fatigue and the...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. 
  You've had bloodwork done. It came back "normal." And you're still exhausted, still foggy, still reaching for a third coffee just to function at a level that used to feel automatic. There's a real, common, and routinely missed explanation for exactly this pattern — and most standard panels don't even test for it. 
   
  This book explains ferritin: the actual marker for the body's iron stores, distinct from the basic iron and hemoglobin numbers most doctors check by default. You'll learn why ferritin can sit low enough to cause real symptoms while every other number on the page still reads "normal," why this happens disproportionately to women, what the actual danger signs of iron overload look like on the opposite end, who is quietly at the highest risk without knowing it, and exactly what to ask for the next time you're in a doctor's office and not willing to be told again that everything looks fine. 
   
  Told through the real, ordinary experience of people who spent months chasing the wrong explanation before finally getting the right test, this is a practical, specific guide to a diagnosis that hides in plain sight — and to getting your actual energy back once it's found.

  On the Origin of Species

  "There is grandeur in this view of life."
  
  In 1859, Charles Darwin published a book that would forever alter the course of human thought. On the Origin of Species introduced the world to the concept of Natural Selection—the process by which populations of living organisms adapt and change. Moving away from the static view of nature, Darwin presented a world of constant, slow, and magnificent transformation.
  
  The Mechanism of Life: Through decades of meticulous observation—from the beak shapes of Galápagos finches to the breeding of domestic pigeons—Darwin laid out a compelling case for how biological diversity arises. He explains how favorable traits are preserved over generations, allowing species to fill specific niches in their environment.
  
  A Masterpiece of Scientific Logic: Despite the controversy it initially sparked, On the Origin of Species is written with remarkable clarity and humility. Darwin anticipates and addresses the potential objections of his contemporaries, grounding his revolutionary ideas in overwhelming evidence from geology, embryology, and paleontology. It remains not just a textbook of biology, but a beautifully written tribute to the interconnectedness of all living things.
  
  Explore the foundation of your own history. Purchase "On the Origin of Species" today and witness the dawn of modern biology.

  'My mother was an oak treemy dad a garage mechanicMy father was a field of wheatmy mother the Prime MinisterMy mother was an innkeeperand my father a lonely cactus…'
  Suzannah Evans' new pamphlet introduces us to Green, half human, half angry nature spirit. Green serves as a stunt double for our own rage and complicity in nature's destruction. He shows us nature's delights so we may mourn their loss more deeply.
  'In this delicious mini-biography of the mythic figure, Suzannah Evans has conjured up a Green Man – now modishly monikered 'Green' – who is witness, listener, accountant, cheerleader, of all and every aspect of nature. An inveterate listicle maker, he can't help but nag us until our attention is drawn back inexorably to the wonder of the world; it's nightmares too. Whether he is supervising extinctions, lavender farming, or picking up plastic litter on the beach, Green is unabashedly a fun, wry and playful personality to spend some time with.' Rishi Dastidar
  'Green is a contemporary secular canticle, where matter and living beings are in mischievous, polyphonic dialogue. Channelled through this beyond-human figure, it presents a decentred ecology where "Green isn't rooting for anyone" – but where we must find a way to befriend 'him', without turning him into a 'man'. Earth is lively and re-enchanted, in Green's contemporary and accessible animism. We are invited to accept the majesty of llama memes alongside the 'death drop' of species extinction. Fuck you, Green says to the wasps, stinging him all over, I still love you. A gentle, passionate, good-natured plea, for even the stickiest, ickiest, grossest creatures to be named in Green's – and humanity's – affections.' Caleb Parkin

  The Next Supercontinent -...

  You've heard of Pangea, the single landmass that broke apart some 175 million years ago to give us our current continents, but what about its predecessors, Rodinia or Columbia? These "supercontinents" from Earth's past provide evidence that land repeatedly joins and separates. While scientists debate what that next supercontinent will look like—and what to name it—they all agree: one is coming. 
   
   
   
  In this engaging work, geophysicist Ross Mitchell invites listeners to remote (and sometimes treacherous) lands for evidence of past supercontinents, delves into the phenomena that will birth the next, and presents the case for the future supercontinent of Amasia, defined by the merging of North America and Asia. Introducing listeners to plate tectonic theory through fieldwork adventures and accessible scientific descriptions, Mitchell considers flows deep in the Earth's mantle to explain Amasia's future formation and shows how this developing theory can illuminate other planetary mysteries. He then poses the inevitable question: how can humanity survive the intervening 200 million years necessary to see Amasia? 
   
   
   
  An expert on the supercontinent cycle, Mitchell offers listeners a front-row seat to a slow-motion mystery and an ongoing scientific debate.
