Synopsis

Underground Animals unveils the hidden world beneath our feet, exploring the fascinating biology of creatures adapted to subterranean ecosystems. The book examines how these animals, from burrowing owls to naked mole rats, have evolved unique sensory adaptations to navigate in darkness and specialized digging apparatuses. Understanding these subterranean habitats is crucial, as they play vital roles in soil health and nutrient cycling, contributing significantly to overall environmental stability. The book delves into the adaptation, social organization, and ecological impact of these often-overlooked animals. For example, the complex social structures of ant colonies and naked mole rat societies reveal sophisticated levels of cooperation and organization. These animals also contribute to aerating the soil and dispersing seeds, underscoring their importance in maintaining healthy ecosystems. Underground Animals progresses from an introduction to subterranean habitats to in-depth explorations of adaptation, social structures, and ecological roles, culminating in a discussion of conservation challenges and strategies. The narrative non-fiction approach makes complex concepts accessible, appealing to anyone interested in biology, nature, or environmental science. By synthesizing existing research and presenting real-world examples, the book highlights the interconnectedness of ecological systems and the need to protect these vital, yet vulnerable, subterranean environments for conservation.

Wild Waters - The Magic of...

Richard Nairn

'I often sit by the bank of the small river that flows through our farm in County Wicklow, fascinated by its many moods ... Getting to know a river is like reading the story of a person's life ...  from its young energetic stages in the hills to the slower-moving mature river, through to the tranquil water of lakes and finally to its resting place in the sea.'
Richard Nairn is an ecologist who has been visiting waterways around Ireland for over half a century, fascinated by how they sustain and enrich our lives. Here he sets out on a year-long adventure to explore every stretch and tributary of the Avonmore River, which runs through Co. Wicklow. From source to sea, he immerses himself in the wildlife, archaeology, history and people connected to the river. Travelling to explore more of Ireland's rivers, lakes, wet woodlands, ponds and canals, Richard details encounters with dragonflies, crayfish, otters and great flocks of migratory waterbirds, and finds himself awestruck by the sense of a lost wilderness they convey.
With our waterways now under serious threat, this is a love letter to Ireland's rivers and lakes, and a reminder of what we stand to lose.
'Opens the window into a watery world. Personal yet panoramic.' Colin Stafford-Johnson, filmmaker.

Vegas or Bust - A Family Man...

Johnny Kampis

Can a former semi-pro win against the best poker players in the world? 
 
 
 
In 2006, Johnny's pie-in-the-sky dreams of becoming world champion were dashed when his kings ran into aces in the World Series of Poker Main Event. But lady luck was with him when he met Amy, the woman of his dreams, who soon became his wife. 
 
 
 
Like many players, he drifted away from the game after Congress passed a law later that year that cut off funds to online poker and harkened the decline of the game. But even as Johnny returned to the working world, the itch remained. 
 
 
 
A decade later, now with two small kids in tow, Johnny convinces Amy to take a six-week family trip from their home in rural Alabama to Las Vegas, where he will risk his $10,000 bankroll in hopes of playing in the Main Event again and winning millions. Along the way, he examines how the game has changed since 2006. Although the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act was the beginning of the end of the poker boom, the game still thrives, and WSOP is Exhibit A. Johnny also muses on the outlandishness of the adult fairyland that is Vegas.
