Sinopsis

"Bees and UV Vision" explores the remarkable ability of bees to see ultraviolet (UV) light, a spectrum invisible to humans, and how this influences their behavior and the evolution of flowering plants. Bees use UV vision to efficiently locate flowers, acting as visual signals that guide them to nectar and pollen sources. This book highlights how bees' unique sensory biology allows them to differentiate between flowers that appear identical to us, showcasing the intricate plant-pollinator interactions shaped by co-evolution.

 
The book explains the biophysics of UV light, the neurobiology of bee vision, and the ecological impact of UV patterns in flowers. It begins with the physics of light and insect vision, progressing to the neural processing of UV light in the bee's eye and brain. Different flower species have evolved unique UV reflectance patterns to attract bees.

 
The concluding sections discuss the broader ecological and evolutionary implications, including pollination syndromes and the potential impacts of environmental changes on bee-flower interactions.

    A life-changing year in South Korea. 
     
    Christine thought a year in South Korea would hit the pause button on her messy life. Her dad's death had left her anxious and depressed, and her career in musical theatre had reached a new low of shopping-centre kids' shows. When she found herself pulled over by the side of the road, dressed as a dinosaur and sobbing uncontrollably, it was clear something had to change. 
     
    A role with an experimental theatre company based in Seoul seemed the perfect way to put off dealing with her problems, at least for a year. But she soon found there's no running away from yourself. Travelling through South Korea, immersing herself in its culture and shifting her mindset along with the seasons, Christine discovered that sometimes the place you go to escape your life can hold the answers for how to heal it. 
     
    A heartfelt, sumptuous journey through one of the most fascinating cultures and landscapes on the planet, Five Seasons in Seoul is for armchair travellers and memoir lovers alike.

    Part field guide, part history, part ornithology primer, and altogether fun. 
     
     
     
    Fact: Pigeons are amazing, and until recently, humans adored them. We've kept them as pets, held pigeon beauty contests, raced them, used them to carry messages over battlefields, harvested their poop to fertilize our crops—and cooked them in gourmet dishes. Now, with A Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching, listeners can rediscover the wonder. Equal parts field guide and quirky history, it covers behavior: Why they coo; how they flock; how they preen, kiss, and mate (monogamously); and how they raise their young (on chunky pigeon milk). Anatomy and identification, from Birmingham Roller to the American Giant Runt to the Scandaroon. Birder issues, like what to do if you find a baby pigeon stranded in the park. And our lively shared story together, including all the things we've taught them—Ping-Pong, for example. "Rats with wings?" Think again. 
     
     
     
    Pigeons coo, peck and nest all over the world, yet most of us treat them with indifference or disdain. So Rosemary Mosco, a bird-lover, science communicator, writer, and cartoonist, is here to give the pigeon's image a makeover, and to help every town- and city-dweller get closer to nature by discovering the joys of birding through pigeon-watching.
