Useless knowledge about birds: A fascinating insight into the mysterious world of feathered friends

Birds. They are ubiquitous, from the boldest birds of prey majestically dominating the sky to the humblest sparrows chirping in our gardens. But how well do we really know them? "Useless knowledge about birds" opens our eyes to a world full of curiosities, secrets and amazing stories that nature has in store for us.

In this book, we take you on a journey of discovery far beyond what you could ever have imagined. For example, did you know that the woodpecker protects its brain from concussions by a remarkable shock-absorber system while hammering full force against tree trunks? Or that the jay hides up to 5,000 acorns in different places and remembers where it hid them all?

Immerse yourself in the colorful activity of birds disguising themselves as other animals, or learn about the amazing symbiosis between birds and other animals. Did you know that there are birds that adapt perfectly to their environment to escape predators by pretending to be poisonous caterpillars or dangerous snakes? Or that certain bird species team up with larger animals like hippos or crocodiles to find food and protect themselves from predators?

The impressive territorial songs and dances of some birds are so complex and unique that they are often called masterpieces of nature. Be enchanted by the variety and creativity of these performances, from the brilliant choreography of the bird of paradise to the impressive vocal repertoire of the lyrebird.

But birds are not only fascinating creatures of nature, they have also deeply shaped the cultures and histories of mankind. From ancient legends of birds as messengers of the gods to their depiction in art and music, this book shows how birds have captured the human imagination for centuries.

James I Charles I Commomwealth &...

Gilbert Abbott A'Beckett

Step right up for the most uproariously irreverent chapter of Gilbert Abbott A’Beckett’s Comic History of England—where crowns are comedy props and history’s biggest egos trip over their own dogma! 
Meet James I, the "Wisest Fool in Christendom," who preached divine right while his pet favorite, the Duke of Buckingham, turned the court into a scandalous farce. Then comes Charles I, whose stubbornness cost him his crown (and his head), thanks to a Parliament with a very sharp grievance list—and a little help from the ill-fated Earl of Stafford. 
Enter Oliver Cromwell, the Puritan party-pooper who banned Christmas, crushed Ireland, and somehow made republicanism duller than a Sunday sermon. But just when you think the chaos can’t get worse, in stumbles Richard Cromwell, his hapless son, who proved that ruling England was not a hereditary talent. Spoiler: The Republic collapses faster than a house of cards in a hurricane. 
Narrated with wicked wit by Charles Featherstone, this uproarious installment skewers the Stuarts like a royal roast—where kings are klutzes, parliaments are punchlines, and the only thing sacred is the absurdity of power.

Lillian Trasher - The Greatest...

Janet Benge, Geoff Benge

"Do you mean to say you have no food for tomorrow?" the Egyptian man sputtered. "Well, yes," Lillian replied. The man exclaimed, "How awful! Will you be able to sleep tonight?" One of the orphan girls laughed out loud and said, "Why, Mama never has any food for tomorrow, and she never loses sleep over it!" "When Lillian Trasher founded Egypt's first orphanage, others thought that a lone American woman with no means of support would surely be killed or starve to death. But Lillian - certain of God's guidance - stood by her earlier promise to Him, 'If ever I can do anything for You, just let me know - and I'll do it.' In the midst of poverty, war, and deadly epidemics, Lillian faced each day with a heart of trust, modeling the life she hoped her children would someday live in their own homes. During fifty tumultuous years, the Mother of the Nile cared for thousands of desperate children, with unwavering faith that God does indeed look after the orphans.
