Summary

Sharks, often portrayed as terrifying monsters, are in reality vital apex predators in marine ecosystems. Shark Science replaces these misconceptions with facts, delving into their sensory world and hunting strategies.

 
Sharks maintain biodiversity by controlling prey populations; their biology even offers insights for human medicine, such as studying their immune systems to advance disease treatment.

 
The book explores shark evolution, anatomy, and unique senses like electroreception, used for navigation and hunting. Different hunting styles, from ambush predation to cooperative hunting, are examined.

 
It also addresses the critical topic of shark conservation, focusing on threats like overfishing and habitat destruction. Shark Science aims to foster appreciation and stewardship by presenting scientific evidence and dispelling myths.

 
Starting with taxonomy and evolution, it progresses through sensory biology, behavior, and social interactions, ultimately addressing threats and conservation. The book draws from scientific literature, field research, and expert interviews to present an accurate picture of these remarkable creatures.

    Why Nature Matters is a practical guide for restoring the bond between children and the natural world. Grounded in evidence-based practice, it provides the listener with an understanding of why a connection to nature is so vital for children and how to make that connection happen. 
 
The book presents a holistic model of nature engagement that nurtures the wellbeing and development of our children. It introduces the Nature Connection Pyramid, which moves through four levels of nature connection, giving listeners the science of 'why' they should make connections to nature a priority, alongside the 'how', with practical exercises and activities. This framework begins by exploring the foundations of attachment, safety, and sensory connection, before considering creative exploration, meaning-making, and, finally, higher nature connections. Each chapter includes rich and diverse stories about nature connections and their impact, as well as reflections and top tips on how to bring more nature into children's lives. 
 
This resource shows and tells why nature matters and gives ideas on how to rewild ourselves and not just the planet. It will be an essential tool for early childhood educators and teachers, nature practitioners, and occupational therapists and other allied health professionals.
