    ‘Focuses a razor light on the plight of one of our most iconic birds. Inspirational!’ Tim Birkhead 
    Curlews are Britain’s largest wading bird, known for their evocative calls which embody wild places; they provoke a range of emotions that many have expressed in poetry, art and music. 
    A bird stands alone on the edge of a mudflat. Its silhouette is unmistakable. A plump body sits atop stilty legs. The long neck arcs into a small head, which tapers further into a long curved bill. The smooth, convex outlines of this curlew are alluring. They touch some ancestral liking we all have for shapes that are round and smooth. 
    Over the last 20 years numbers in the UK have halved; the Eurasian Curlew is one of our most endangered birds. With a quarter of the world population breeding in the UK and Ireland, this is nothing short of a disaster. The curlew is showing all the signs of being the next Great Auk. 
    In Curlew Moon, Mary Colwell takes us on a 500-mile journey on foot from the west coast of Ireland to the east coast of England, to discover what is happening to this beautiful and much-loved bird. She sets off in early spring when the birds are arriving on their breeding grounds, watches them nesting in the hills of Wales and walks through England when the young are hatching. She finishes her walk on the coast of Lincolnshire when the fledglings are trying out their wings. This is also the place many curlews will return to for the winter months. 
    This evocative book chronicles Colwell’s impressive journey, with beautiful illustrations by Jessica Holm, weaving a gentle tale of discovery interspersed with the natural history of this iconic bird that has fascinated us for millennia – and so desperately needs our help. 
    In Curlew Moon, Mary Colwell presents a compelling case for the conservation of the curlew species. The book, a best-seller in the genre of nature writing, emphasises the importance of environmental protection and the role we can play in safeguarding the future of animals. 
    For fans of Raynor Winn (Landlines), Isabella Tree (Wilding), John Lewis-Stempel (England), John Muir (John Muir ), and Derek Gow (Hunt for the Shadow Wolf).

    A Brief Manifesto on South American Identity 
    Have you ever wondered why seas around the world have names... but South America doesn't? 
    Amid forgotten maps, hushed histories and ignored identities, a disturbing question echoes through the waters of the South Atlantic. This is not just an e-book — it is an invitation to reflect on culture, memory and belonging. 
    This e-book is not intended to generalize in an attacking way, but rather to shed light on what has been hidden over the centuries — and which, in a certain way, continues to be silenced. 
    A deep analysis of the role of the sea in the formation of South American identity and integration. History, culture and politics connected by water.

    Python is one of the several multi-paradigm programming languages a lot of people prefer. It can be used for lots of purposes, interpreted and easy to understand. Python works in an amazing way as it enables its users to be able to create and use diverse programs for both complex and simple designs. This means that Python has some special plug-ins that allow one to create simple coding that could work on other platforms. As a result, with the knowledge of Python, you are sure of being able to handle different languages within the same paradigm. 
    Amazingly, when Python is used to code, it gives a fast result on the goal. Even though Python gives access to different platforms, it gives result to whatever is done instantly. In the same vein, writing of code with Python is made easy as though one is speaking in a human language. 
    Python has this multi-tasking feature that allows its users to be able to attain a single code of programming using different styles. Styles could affect the end result of a code; though it will surely be the same result with slight modifications. 
    Python is easier to learn but the focal point of syntax is readability. Because of this, there is a huge reduction in maintenance risk. Modules and packages are basic things supported by Python; these enable the reuse of codes and the program's modularity. These amazing features of Python have made it one of the leading programs that programmers will always use and recommend to others.
