Sinossi

"Frozen Predators" explores the lives of apex predators like polar bears, leopard seals, and arctic foxes in Earth's coldest regions, revealing their unique adaptations and crucial roles in fragile Arctic and Antarctic ecosystems. The book emphasizes how the success of these hunters is deeply connected to stable icy environments, threatened now more than ever by climate change. Through the lens of these iconic species, it examines broader themes of adaptation, survival, and the impact of environmental shifts, highlighting the intricate balance within these ecosystems.

 
The book presents a comprehensive look at the physical and behavioral adaptations that enable these animals to thrive despite extreme conditions. For example, it discusses the insulation of polar bear fur, the diving physiology of leopard seals, and the camouflage of arctic foxes.

 
Beginning with an introduction to the Arctic and Antarctic, the book progresses to detail the hunting techniques of each predator, such as polar bears hunting on sea ice and leopard seals ambushing prey in Antarctic waters.

 
Ultimately, it discusses the conservation challenges facing these predators and what their decline could mean for the entire planet, offering potential solutions and avenues for future research.

    Gerald Diffey has spent four decades immersed in the world of food, wine and hospitality, from early days waiting tables in old English hotels to establishing two of the best places in the world to drink and eat: the award-winning Gerald’s Bar in North Carlton– Heston Blumenthal described it as ‘a proper, proper old-fashioned sort of bar’– and Gerald’s Bar in San Sebastian. 
    Beggars Belief is a collection of funny, poignant, insightful and just plain ludicrous stories from Gerald’s life in kitchens and behind bars: his formative years in the UK, memories of food and family; tales and tips from forty years of service; journeys and meals, people and places, from lunch on the side of a volcano in Sicily to dinner on a beach in East Timor; stories and recipes and drinks suggestions from North Carlton and San Sebastian; vignettes, slices of life, observations. 
    ‘Romance,’ writes Gerald in the introduction. ‘That’s what I sell. Sensual pleasures. Sights, sounds, smells, touch, taste. Cyrano de Bergerac said: “I have tried to live my whole life with panache.” If I said that, I’d sound like a twat. But you get the drift. I’m off to bone some quails.’
