Sinopsis

"Water Ambushers" unveils the hidden world of aquatic predators, creatures that have mastered the art of stillness and camouflage to become highly effective hunters. These underwater assassins employ patience and precision, showcasing remarkable evolutionary adaptation within diverse aquatic ecosystems.

 
For example, the archerfish uses a unique water jet to strike down insects, while the alligator snapping turtle employs a tongue lure, demonstrating the varied hunting strategies among these freshwater and marine predators. The book explores predator-prey dynamics by examining specific case studies and analyzing the ecological roles of these animals. It differentiates ambush predation from other hunting styles, emphasizing the challenges and benefits of this strategy in aquatic environments.

 
By presenting a comparative analysis of various ambush predators, "Water Ambushers" identifies common themes and unique adaptations, providing a comprehensive understanding of this fascinating aspect of animal behavior. The book progresses from defining ambush predation to detailed case studies of predators like the archerfish and alligator snapping turtle, culminating in a broader discussion of evolutionary pressures and ecological consequences. This approach, combined with clear language, makes complex scientific concepts accessible to a wide audience interested in science, biology, and nature.

    In Knead to Know: A History of Baking, food historian and chef Neil Buttery takes the reader on a journey exploring the creation, evolution and cultural importance of some of our most beloved baked foods, whether they be fit for a monarch's table, or served from the bakestone of a lowly farm labourer. This book charts innovations, happy accidents and some of the most downright bizarre baked foods ever created. 
     
     
    Everything has a history, but food history is special because it tells us so much about our culture and society, from the role of bread in the birth of human civilisation to the invention of the wedding cake, the creation of the whisk, or the purpose of the fish heads in a star-gazy pie. Food history encompasses it all. 
     
     
    When we think of the evolution of something, we think every step is an improvement, an incremental elevation toward some peak of perfection. This is not always the case. Sometimes things have to become simpler, knowledge is lost and skills are forgotten. As a baker of historical foods, Neil Buttery demonstrates that forgotten recipes and traditional techniques are often worth trying out (and mentions a few that should perhaps be left in the past).
