Summary

Ant Superpowers explores the extraordinary abilities of ants, revealing how these tiny insects achieve incredible feats through collective behavior, specialized adaptations, and sophisticated communication. The book delves into the biomechanics behind their surprising strength, allowing them to lift objects many times their weight, and uncovers the intricacies of their chemical communication, using pheromones to govern complex social interactions. Readers will gain insights into the science of how ants construct elaborate underground nests and organize their colonies with remarkable efficiency.

 
The book progresses from an introduction to ant biology to detailed explorations of their physical capabilities, communication systems, and colony architecture. It highlights how decades of biological study have led to our current understanding, emphasizing the role of natural selection and evolutionary biology.

    Join bestselling author Kerri Andrews and ten other women as they each narrate walks that will challenge, inspire and fascinate you.
    Following on from Kerri Andrews' bestselling book Wanderers, which retold the history of walking through ten women, Women, Walking is an agenda-setting, contemporary exploration of women setting foot outdoors now, and what that means. This groundbreaking collection brings together many of the most prominent and exciting voices of the last decade across poetry, fiction, essays and journalism: Anna Fleming, Anita Sethi, Beatrice Searle, Gail Simmons, Helen Mort, Josie Giles, Kate Davis, Katharine Norbury, Linda Cracknell and Polly Atkin.
    From an evocative and moving account by Beatrice Searle on walking with her mother to Gail Simmons celebrating the low-key wonders of the incidental walks we take every day, from Linda Cracknell on her walk to the shops – when the shops are two days' walk away – and the enjoyment of the changing landscape she passes through to Kate Davis on why walking matters more when disability prevents you from doing it 'properly', this rich collection rewrites the notion that walking is always vigorous, enjoyable and universal. Instead, it confirms the importance of every kind of walking as a political and creative act of belonging. Moving and radical, Women, Walking challenges our notions of what walking is, and who it is for – and encourages us all to get outside, know our surroundings and find our voice.

    A transporting anthology of ancient Greek and Roman travel writings that capture the thrill of exploration and discovery—from Europe to the Holy Land and Egypt to IndiaAt long last, a travel guide to the ancient world for the modern tourist—written by the ancients themselves. How to Travel gathers classic texts from Greek and Roman writers to explore what today’s readers can learn from ancient encounters with unfamiliar peoples, places, and customs.The Greek historian Herodotus (ca. 484–425 BCE) is one of the most famous travelers of antiquity. His Histories, which chronicle his and others’ encounters with foreign peoples and places, have fascinated readers for millennia, and have much to teach about the secrets of good travel. In How to Travel, Herodotus and Tacitus take us on tours of Central Asia, Egypt, and Germania, while pilgrims like Pausanias and the Christian nun Egeria guide us through Greece and the Holy Land. Readers are whisked away to India to experience the ways of forest-dwelling sages and to the far reaches of Africa. And as if Earth weren’t enough, the satirist Lucian takes us to the Moon. But this whirlwind tour of antiquity is more than a pleasure cruise. Seneca cautions travelers that, go as far as we may, we can never escape ourselves. Gratitude, Egeria says, is the traveler’s proper response for the privilege. And Homer reminds us that, ultimately, there’s no place like home.Featuring vivid new translations, an inviting introduction, and the original Greek and Latin texts on facing pages, How to Travel captures the thrill of exploration and discovery—and how new experiences, fresh vistas, and foreign cultures can change the traveler.
