Synopsis

Turtles Return Home explores the fascinating science behind sea turtle navigation, revealing how these creatures traverse vast oceans to return to their natal beaches. Utilizing satellite tracking and biological research, the book uncovers the complex interplay of biological and environmental factors guiding their journeys. One intriguing insight is how turtles may use the Earth's magnetic field as a compass, a sense fine-tuned over generations. The book emphasizes that understanding turtle migration is crucial for effective conservation, allowing us to protect critical habitats and migratory corridors.

 
The book progresses by first introducing sea turtle biology and then delving into their sensory world, focusing on magnetic, olfactory, and visual cues. It then analyzes tracking data to understand long-distance migration and homing behavior. A unique aspect of the book is its analysis of large-scale satellite tracking data collected over decades. It connects marine biology with ecology and oceanography, providing a holistic view.

 
Ultimately, Turtles Return Home argues that sea turtle navigation is a multi-sensory process that requires a comprehensive approach for conservation. It highlights how factors like climate change and habitat degradation disrupt natural cues, impacting their ability to navigate. By bridging scientific rigor with accessible language, the book appeals to students, researchers, and anyone interested in marine life and environmental science.

    The Honey Trap - How the Good...

    The last decade has seen an explosion of urban beekeeping in the US, Canada, and Europe, a well-intentioned response to perceived threats to the global honey bee population. Many thousands of people have taken up this seemingly environmentally friendly hobby, tending backyard and rooftop hives (or paying a company to do so) and encouraging honey bees to make honey and pollinate flowers. What could be wrong with that? 
     
     
     
    Quite a lot, in fact. In The Honey Trap, scientist and author Dana Church demonstrates that despite reports to the contrary, honey bees are nowhere near extinction. Rather, their nurturing by urban beekeepers is having far-reaching and potentially devastating consequences for the 19,999 other species of bees on the planet, with knock-on effects for plants, both cultivated and wild, and our ecosystems more generally. 
     
     
     
    With engaging storytelling and a wealth of knowledge about bees and their ways, Church unravels the complexities of human interactions with our winged friends and demonstrates how dangerously selfish our thinking can be. It's a wake-up call for humanity to embrace sustainable practices and protect these vital pollinators before it's too late.

There was no giving up on that vision, no matter how hard the road was at times.’Françoise Malby-Anthony is the owner of a game reserve in South Africa with a remarkable family of elephants whose adventures have touched hearts around the world. The herd’s feisty matriarch Frankie knows who’s in charge at Thula Thula, and it’s not Francoise. But when Frankie becomes ill, and the authorities threaten to remove or cull some of the herd if the reserve doesn’t expand, Françoise is in a race against time to save her beloved elephants . . .The joys and challenges of a life dedicated to conservation are vividly described in The Elephants of Thula Thula. The search is on to get a girlfriend for orphaned rhino Thabo – and then, as his behaviour becomes increasingly boisterous, a big brother to teach him manners. Françoise realizes a dream with the arrival of Savannah the cheetah – an endangered species not seen in the area since the 1940s – and finds herself rescuing meerkats kept as pets. But will Thula Thula survive the pandemic, an invasion from poachers and the threat from a mining company wanting access to its land?As Françoise faces her toughest years yet, she realizes once again that with their wisdom, resilience and communal bonds, the elephants have much to teach us.
