Beschreibung

Masters of the Burrow: 8 Classic Books on the Study of Pocket Gophers provides an unprecedented exploration of the enigmatic pocket gopher, a creature often overlooked in the annals of zoological literature. This anthology, thoughtfully curated by some of the foremost authorities in mammalogy, traverses a landscape rich with scientific inquiry and discovery. The collection includes a range of literary styles, from meticulous field observations and taxonomic analyses to studies on ecological impacts and behavior. While each piece stands robust on its own merit, collectively, they highlight the complex interplay between these subterranean rodents and their ecosystems, offering fresh insights into the ecological significance of these industrious burrowers. The anthology assembles the pioneering works of esteemed scholars such as Phillip M. Youngman, Robert J. Russell, H. Gordon Montague, E. Raymond Hall, and Bernardo Villa Ramírez, each of whom has significantly advanced the field of mammalogy. Their combined efforts offer a profound understanding of the habits, habitats, and taxonomies of pocket gophers, spanning various geographical and environmental contexts. By capturing the zeitgeist of mid-20th-century zoological studies, this collection not only reflects the scientific endeavors of its time but also aligns with broader movements in conservation and ecological awareness. Masters of the Burrow is an invaluable resource for anyone intrigued by natural history, animal behavior, or the delicate balance within ecosystems. This anthology invites readers to unravel the intricacies of pocket gophers through a tapestry of perspectives, enriching both laypersons and scholars alike with its wealth of knowledge. Engage with the text for a comprehensive exploration that transcends mere biology, inviting a dialogue that embraces curiosity and champions the profound interrelations found in the natural world.

    There’s an entire generation of South African women who ought to read this book.’ – Sara-Jayne King, author of Killing Karoline 
      
    ‘Ougat is masterfully written – raw, unpretentious, unsettling. Shana Fife captures all the darkness from her body, psyche and life with fearless honesty and transparency.’ – Frazer Barry, award-winning theatre practitioner, writer and musician 
    By the time Shana Fife is 25 she has two kids from different fathers. To the Coloured people she grew up around, she is a jintoe, a jezebel, jas, a woman with mileage on the pussy. She is alone, she has no job and, as she is constantly reminded by her community, she is pretty much worthless and unloveable. How did she become this woman, the epitome of everything she was conditioned to strive not to be? 
    Unsettlingly honest and brutally blunt, Ougat is Shana Fife’s story of survival: of surviving the social conditioning of her Cape Flats upbringing, of surviving sexual violence and depression and of ultimately escaping a cycle of abuse. 
    A powerful, fresh and disarming new voice – Shana’s writing is like nothing you’ve read before.

    Beneath the Silence 
    One woman’s journey from pain to purpose—through heartbreak, loss, and healing. 
    For years, she lived beneath the silence—trapped in a world of fear, addiction, and broken promises. A childhood shadowed by chaos gave way to a young adulthood filled with heartache, shattered trust, and desperate struggles to survive. Every day was a battle against the darkness inside and around her. 
    But beneath that silence, something fierce and unbreakable was hope. 
    She becomes a mother, a sister, a wife, and a student—roles she never imagined for herself but embraces with courage. With every scar she carries, she finds strength. With every tear, she finds grace. Beneath the Silence is a powerful story of resilience that will touch the hearts of anyone who has ever felt lost, broken, or silenced—and remind them that healing is possible, one step at a time. 
    This memoir is a raw and honest account of the slow, messy climb from trauma to healing. It is about learning to forgive, learning to love, and learning to believe that a better life is possible—even when it feels out of reach. 
    Trinity Lease is a mother, wife, and college student who has transformed her past pain into a story of hope and healing. She believes that sharing our darkest moments can light the way for others.

    The charming and joyful follow-up book from ‘the nation’s taster in chief,’ Felicity Cloake. 
    If there’s one thing that truly unites Britain, from Aberdeen to Aberystwyth, St Ives to St Pancras, it’s an obsession with breakfast. 
    We all have an opinion on the merits of brown sauce versus ketchup on our morning bacon sarnie. In this eagerly awaited follow-up to One More Croissant for the Road, the nation’s favourite taster-in-chief Felicity Cloake sets off on a cycle trip of condimental proportions to investigate and celebrate the legendary Great British Breakfast. Travelling the length and breadth of the UK to establish once and for all what makes a perfect fry-up, she rates them on criteria from the crispness of the bacon to how long they keep her pedalling. But a woman cannot live by All Day Breakfast alone, so as well as recipes for the Savoy's Omelette Arnold Bennett and proper Scottish porridge, she lavishes her attention on the regional specialities she encounters along the way, from a desi breakfast in Birmingham to a Greggs Geordie stottie cake. This is a freewheeling gastronomical tour like no other. 
    Eaten with as much relish in The Wolseley on Piccadilly as in Glasgow’s University Cafe, Britain loves nothing more than a good breakfast. The only question is: what do you have with yours? 
    In RED SAUCE BROWN SAUCE, Felicity Cloake, the nation's favourite taster-in-chief, combines her love for cycling and cooking to present a unique travelogue. She explores the best of British breakfasts, from the Welsh desi breakfast to the Scottish stottie cake, making it a top pick for food and travel enthusiasts. 
    For fans of Stanley Tucci (What I Ate in One Year), Peter Mayle (My Twenty-Five Years in Provence), Nigella Lawson (Cook, Eat, Repeat), Max Halley (Max's Sandwich Book), and Janine Marsh (My Four Seasons in France).
