Summary

Migrating Animals explores the incredible journeys undertaken by wildlife across the globe, revealing the biological, environmental, and evolutionary factors that drive these behaviors. Readers will discover how animals navigate vast distances, sometimes spanning continents or oceans, and the physiological adaptations that enable such feats. For example, some birds can fly thousands of miles nonstop, while whales undertake epic oceanic voyages. Understanding these migrations is crucial, as they influence species distribution, disease spread, and ecosystem health.

 
The book traces the evolution of migration study, from early observations to modern tracking technologies like satellite telemetry. It emphasizes that migration is not just a behavioral trait but a complex interaction of genetics, physiology, and environmental adaptation. Chapters progress from defining migration and exploring physiological adaptations to examining environmental drivers and the impact of human activities. This approach offers a comprehensive overview of the vulnerabilities migratory species face due to habitat loss and climate change, highlighting the urgent need for conservation.

These Isles: A People’s History...

Brian Groom

An inventive new look at the entwined histories of Britain and Ireland’s nations – and the people who have called them home.
Acclaimed author and journalist Brian Groom reveals the colourful and often-contested history of the Celts, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, Normans and others who have occupied these islands, along with their culture, languages and passions.
Packed with surprise and insight, These Isles explores the role of religion, the British Empire, international diasporas and internal migration, gender relations and war in a nuanced and entertaining narrative.
With forays into popular culture, sport, music, language, literature and art, These Isles stretches from 800,000-year-old footprints on a Norfolk beach to the changing fortunes of the early twenty-first century.

It moves with a travel narrative’s range and pace, delivering a top, latest synthesis of what has made these islands—and keeps remaking them.

Robin Ince

A unique, funny picture of Britain... A love letter to bookshops and the vagaries of public transport.' Richard Osman 
 
Why play to 12,000 people when you can play to 12? In Autumn 2021, Robin Ince's stadium tour with Professor Brian Cox was postponed due to the pandemic. Rather than do nothing, he decided instead to go on a tour of over a hundred bookshops in the UK, from Wigtown to Penzance; from Swansea to Margate. Packed with witty anecdotes and tall tales, Bibliomaniac takes the reader on a journey across Britain as Robin explores his lifelong love of bookshops and books - and also tries to find out just why he can never have enough of them.
