Summary

'Wild Plains Trek' offers a compelling exploration of the world's grassland ecosystems, focusing particularly on the Serengeti while drawing parallels to similar plains worldwide. The book weaves together three fundamental themes: grassland ecosystem dynamics, animal migration patterns, and critical conservation efforts, presenting a comprehensive view of these endangered landscapes through both scientific data and engaging field observations.

 
Following the natural rhythm of seasonal changes, the narrative takes readers on a journey from the challenges of the dry season through the spectacular migrations triggered by rainfall patterns. The book's unique strength lies in its ability to connect complex ecological principles with real-world conservation challenges, utilizing detailed research from satellite tracking, soil analysis, and long-term field studies.

 
Readers gain insights into the fascinating adaptations of endemic species, from specialized grasses to the diverse array of insects, birds, and mammals that call these plains home. Through accessible scientific language and information-rich visualizations, the book bridges the gap between academic research and practical conservation.

 
It addresses crucial debates in wildlife management while maintaining a balanced, evidence-based approach to both conservation successes and challenges. Whether for conservation professionals seeking current research or general readers interested in grassland ecology, the book provides valuable insights into the delicate balance of these vital ecosystems and the urgent need for their preservation.

    To Everything a Season is a beautifully crafted personal and reflective account of many years of the changing seasons, from autumn    to autumn, in and around a village on the edge of the Cambridge Fenland. It is an uplifting reflection about change: what was, what is, what will be.   
    It is about the miracle of the rich gift of life. It is also about death, loss, and the rebirth of the old into something rich and strange.   
    But it is also a book suffused with a gentle humour, with a deep love and sympathy for our fellow creatures. Charles Moseley tackles what we have done to the world of which we are not owners or masters but stewards, not only for our children but for the whole web of life on which everything depends.

    In 2008, at the height of the U.S. housing crisis, and just when novice real estate investor Mary Lehman thought things couldn't get any worse... they didn't! Instead, she parlayed her financial woes and failed investments into a fascinating adventure, fulfilling her lifelong dream to travel. 
    No stranger to difficult times, Mary grew up working long hours on her family's backbreaking mid-western fruit farm while steering clear of her irascible father, only to end up a pregnant teenage army bride with an abusive husband. Single again and with a young son, Mary returned to college believing it would make a difference. Yet, her journey to better her life continued at a slow pace until she ultimately landed a dream job in the Florida Key's hot real estate industry. There she experienced a level of success beyond anything she had ever imagined, only to watch everything she had worked so hard to build vanish practically overnight. Fighting back against the depression that threatened to consume her, she cashed out what little she had left in savings and set out on a three-month trip to Europe. 
    Cappuccino Per Favore tells the story of that uplifting, life-affirming journey. Part memoir, part travelogue, part celebration, it is, first and foremost, a love story. Not for another person but for a magical place, northern Italy's incomparable Treasure Mountain with its breathtaking vistas, challenging hiking trails, great food, and generous and hospitable people.

    In the spring of 1871, Ralph Waldo Emerson boarded a train in Concord, Massachusetts, bound for a month-and-a-half-long tour of California—an interlude that became one of the highlights of his life. On their journey across the American West, he and his companions would take in breathtaking vistas in the Rockies and along the Pacific Coast, speak with a young John Muir in the Yosemite Valley, stop off in Salt Lake City for a meeting with Brigham Young, and encounter a diversity of communities and cultures that would challenge their Yankee prejudices. 
     
     
     
    Based on original research employing newly discovered documents, The California Days of Ralph Waldo Emerson maps the public story of this group's travels onto the private story of Emerson's final years, as aphasia set in and increasingly robbed him of his words. Engaging and compelling, this travelogue makes it clear that Emerson was still capable of wonder, surprise, and friendship, debunking the presumed darkness of his last decade.

    When Derek Yu released Spelunky for free in 2008, his roguelike-inspired platformer took the indie game community by storm with its combination of classic platform mechanics, extreme difficulty, and random level generation. Four years later, Spelunky's HD remake went on to become PC Gamer's Game of the Year and earn perfect scores from Polygon and Eurogamer. But how is a "perfect" game made? 
     
      
     
    Spelunky is Boss Fight's first autobiographical book: the story of a game's creation as told by its creator. Using his own game as a vehicle, Derek Yu discusses such wide-ranging topics as randomization, challenge, indifferent game worlds, player feedback, development team dynamics, and what's required to actually finish a game. Grab some ropes, a mattock, and your favorite pug—this book is going to dig deep.
