  No need to travel halfway round the globe to spot iconic wildlife – it's right here on our doorstep in the UK and Steve Wright, keen amateur naturalist, travels from the Isle of Man to Norfolk, to the Orkneys, Northern Ireland and everywhere in-between on his various short holiday expeditions, clutching his specific wildlife wish-list for each trip.  
  The result is an inspiring and engaging diary of his personal encounters with white-tailed eagles, otters, bottlenose dolphins, fulmars, puffins, osprey, sand lizards, even red-necked wallabies. And the characters he meets on the way. He hears snipe drumming, watches a shrew in Wales, admires pilot whales off Lewis.  
  Steve's wildlife travel diaries give excellent practical tips, such as bird-hide etiquette, how to identify birds on the wing, how to consult local wildlife rangers about what might be spotted on each outing and where to find that species.  
  But most importantly his highly-readable wildlife travels are a call to others to book themselves in to pubs and small hotels the length and breadth of Britain and follow his example, for a series of fun British wildlife safaris.

  The Blue Revolution - Hunting...

  Overfishing. For the world's oceans, it's long been a worrisome problem with few answers. But as older fishing fleets retire and new technologies develop, a better, more sustainable way to farm this popular protein has emerged to profoundly shift the balance. The Blue Revolution tells the story of the recent transformation of commercial fishing: an encouraging change from maximizing volume through unrestrained wild hunting to maximizing value through controlled harvesting and farming. 
   
   
   
  Nicholas P. Sullivan presents this new way of thinking about fish, food, and oceans by profiling the people and policies transforming an aging industry into one that is "post-industrial"—fueled by "sea-foodies" and locavores interested in sustainable, traceable, quality seafood. He discusses the global challenges to preserving healthy oceans, including conservation mechanisms, the impact of climate change, and unregulated and criminal fishing in international waters. 
   
   
   
  In a fast-growing world where more people are eating more fish than ever before, The Blue Revolution brings encouraging news for conservationists and seafood lovers about the transformation of an industry historically averse to change, and it presents fresh inspiration for entrepreneurs and investors eager for new opportunities in a blue-green economy.

  You might probably have heard before about the vagus nerve, either in high school Biology, or now that the movement of awakening has become more and more popular. However, you possibly have questions regarding what it is, exactly, and what its functions are. 
  What does the Vagus Nerve do? 
  	The vagus nerve fulfills various different functions in the body:Motor: it provides innervations to most of the muscles that are found in the pharynx, larynx, and soft palate, to control their motor functions.Parasympathetic: as we mentioned, it provides innervations to muscles of the trachea, bronchi, and gastro-intestinal tract, and is in charge of regulating the rhythm of the heart and breath, reason why it has historically also been known as the pneumogastric nerve.Sensory: it provides innervation to the skin of the external acoustic meatus as well as the laryngopharynx and larynx’s internal surfaces. Still linked with its pneumogastric control, it additionally provides visceral sensation to the heart and viscera of the abdomen.Special sensory: thanks to the way it provides innervation, it also offers the sensation of taste to the root of the tongue and the epiglottis. This, however, is not the full sensation of taste that we experiment, which is actually provided to the posterior 1/3 of the tongue by the glossopharyngeal nerve.
