Synopsis

"Animal Builders" explores the fascinating world of animal architecture, revealing how creatures great and small engineer their environments. From the intricate dams of beavers, which reshape entire ecosystems, to the towering nests of termites with their sophisticated climate control, the book highlights nature's ingenuity.

 
One intriguing insight is how these animal constructions influence water flow, soil composition, and biodiversity, far beyond providing mere shelter. The book challenges our understanding of intelligence by showcasing how instinct and adaptation drive these complex projects.

 
By examining diverse habitats and construction techniques, "Animal Builders" argues that these behaviors reflect a deep understanding of environmental principles. The book progresses from defining key concepts like ecosystem engineering to detailing the construction methods of specific animal groups like beavers, termites, and birds. These examples demonstrate the remarkable problem-solving abilities present in all forms of life.

 
This exploration emphasizes how animal constructions are integral components of ecosystems, providing inspiration for innovative and sustainable designs through biomimicry. By drawing on scientific research and comparative analyses, the book offers a unique perspective on the interplay between organisms and their environment. Readers will gain a new appreciation for the ecological significance and ingenuity of these often-overlooked architects.

    In Travels with Plotinus, Moin Mir follows Plotinus's 1,780-year-old journey of personal discovery across India, Egypt, Italy, Greece and Turkey as he tries to understand the core concept of Plotinian thought, derived from studying the Upanishads – 'Unity and Oneness'.
    
    He uses Plotinus's philosophy to observe how the free will of intellect uses 'Unity' for good and evil. Intimate conversations with refugees escaping war, innocent boatmen drifting down the Nile, simple farmers and monks in Greece along with observations of ancient art and modern technological accomplishments inform his thoughts and writing on the concept of the oneness of humankind – its immense power to bring good and yet its vulnerability to the stealth of intellect to destroy and self-destruct.

    Travel the Bruce Trail in day hikes with Loops & Lattes author Nicola Ross 
    		 
    Best known for her detailed Loops & Lattes hiking guides, Nicola Ross has inspired tens of thousands of people to lace up their boots and explore Ontario’s trails. In 40 Days & 40 Hikes, this adventurer, author, and environmentalist sets herself a new challenge: to hike the Bruce Trail from Niagara to Tobermory in her own creative way. In 40 cleverly crafted day-loops, Ross covers over 900 kilometers mostly following Canada’s longest marked trail, taking you with her on an insightful journey to the Niagara Escarpment’s remarkable sights.
    		 
    As Ross walks, she reveals stories of the trail’s flora and fauna, geology and history. The Bruce Trail becomes the central character as she ponders her role in protecting the fragile corner of the planet that, she contends, is entwined in her DNA. Despite long days on the trail, encounters with bears, ticks, and a deadly derecho, her passion for her beloved Niagara Escarpment mounts as she explores Ontario’s “ribbon of wilderness.”
    		 
    Perfect for hikers, non-hikers, and anyone who loves an adventure, 40 Days & 40 Hikes is both a captivating travelogue and a useful companion for those who Ross will undoubtedly inspire to follow in her footsteps.
