Summary

Crow Facts explores the remarkable intelligence of crows, challenging our understanding of animal cognition. These avian creatures demonstrate sophisticated tool use, as seen in New Caledonia where they craft tools from twigs, and possess a surprising ability to recognize human faces, even learning to associate specific individuals with danger or safety. The book delves into the evolutionary pressures that may have driven their cognitive development.

 
The book examines three core areas of crow intelligence: tool use and innovation, facial recognition and social intelligence, and problem-solving and cognitive flexibility. By analyzing crows' capacity to solve complex puzzles and adapt their behavior, the book highlights their cognitive flexibility. It draws from field observations, controlled lab experiments, and long-term research, offering a unique perspective on crow cognition and its adaptive advantages within their environment.

 
Structured to progress logically, Crow Facts begins with an introduction to the crow family and their global distribution, then moves into an exploration of their cognitive abilities across multiple chapters. This approach provides a comprehensive and engaging overview suitable for nature enthusiasts, biology students, and anyone curious about animal behavior and the evolution of intelligence.

    Ever wondered when board games got so good? 
 
The last forty years have seen nothing short of a revolution in the world of tabletop games. No longer synonymous with family arguments over a game of Monopoly or Trivial Pursuit, board games and the once niche hobby of tabletop gaming have moved into the mainstream over the last four decades, with modern  
classics like CATAN, Ticket to Ride and Carcassonne becoming established household names. 
 
In this informative and entertaining volume, this revolution in tabletop gaming is revealed and reviewed by one of the most knowledgeable commentators there is.  
 
James Wallis explores the evolving world of board games through the lens of the Spiel des Jahres, Germany’s prestigious Game of the Year award, looking at a host of past winners catapulted to worldwide popularity, once lauded games now sadly forgotten, and a few popular hits that somehow missed out. Alongside this, Wallis  
expertly chronicles the increasing sophistication in the design of modern board games and their ever growing variety.  
 
Everybody Wins is a book for anyone who loves games, wonders what all the fuss is about or just wants to know what to play next—the essential, hugely readable study of the modern board game.
