  We are always looking for ways to reconnect with nature. The benefits of spending time outdoors include engaging our senses and experiencing the landscape at a deeper level – but it's not so easy to rewild and run free when we have chores and responsibilities. That's where Nature's Blessings can help. Kirsten Riddle will help you shift your perspective, engage with the environment and learn more about the natural world. She looks at a range of aspects of nature, from trees to rivers, sunlight to storms, butterflies to otters, and highlights ideas and positive lessons associated with each one. Arranged by the four elements, there are overall themes throughout the book: Earth is about grounding and balance; Air is about inspiration and freedom; Fire is connected to confidence and passion; Water concerns healing and self-expression. Each entry includes a daily intention, associated folklore, practical exercises to try and a closing meditation. With tips and suggestions on how you can connect with nature and the intentions at different stages during your day, you will soon be able to welcome all the blessings of nature into your life.

Now wehave a choice to make: re-find our place among them, or succumb to the power of nature. This easy-to-read popular science book tells the untold story of why wildlife conservation is our greatest chance to rebuild a habitable Earth. Take a journey through some of our planet's most spectacular wildlife events and learn how the world works, the origin of life and our place in nature.

  For any sailor, in a yacht or motorboat, the passage from one place to another is relatively easy, particularly with modern navigation equipment. What can be more of a challenge (and a potential source of anxiety for skipper and crew) is the start and end of a passage – how to leave and arrive safely, particularly if it's a cramped marina or crowded anchorage. In Illustrated Seamanship, Ivar Dedekam takes you through the techniques required to achieve a safe departure and arrival. Starting with the fundamentals of ropework he then moves on to manoeuvring, berthing, making fast and then leaving. All types of berthing are covered from coming alongside, stern to, bow to, between finger pontoons and using piles and buoys. There is advice about dealing with different wind and current directions as well as using springs. Ivar then turns to anchoring and offers guidance on setting and weighing anchor in many different circumstances: under sail and under power, using one or two anchors and coping with changes in wind and tide while anchored. You probably won't experience all the scenarios that Ivar so carefully describes, but you will certainly come across quite a few. Knowing what to do when a new situation comes up could be invaluable, increasing your confidence and leading to greater enjoyment and use of your boat. With over 500 diagrams, this slim volume is a perfect reminder of frequently used techniques and could be your get-out-of-jail card when a new circumstance arises. This new edition has an improved layout and the eBook's functionality has been improved significantly.

  Mystical Matter - Unlocking the...

  The universe we see is only a small fraction of what actually exists. All the stars, planets, galaxies, and nebulae make up less than five percent of the total mass and energy in the cosmos. The rest remains invisible, undetectable by traditional telescopes, and yet it shapes the structure and evolution of everything. Scientists refer to this unseen majority as dark matter and dark energy — mysterious ingredients that hold the key to understanding the true nature of the universe. 
  The mystery began when astronomers started noticing something strange in the way galaxies moved. Based on the visible matter alone, galaxies should not hold together. They rotate so fast that stars on the outer edges should fly off into space. But they don’t. Something must be providing the extra gravity needed to keep them in place. This unseen substance is what scientists call dark matter. It does not emit light, reflect it, or interact with electromagnetic radiation in any detectable way. Yet its gravitational effects are undeniable. 
  In the 1930s, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky was one of the first to point out this discrepancy. He observed clusters of galaxies and found that there wasn’t enough visible mass to account for the gravitational forces at work. He proposed the existence of “dunkle Materie,” or dark matter, to explain the missing mass. His ideas were largely ignored at the time, but decades later, further evidence confirmed his observations. Today, dark matter is widely accepted as a fundamental part of the universe, even though we still don’t know what it’s made of.
