Synopsis

Deadly Mammals explores the hidden lethal capabilities of mammals, challenging common perceptions about animal behavior and ecology. The book reveals that lethality isn't limited to well-known predators; even seemingly docile creatures like hippos are responsible for significant human fatalities. It delves into how these animals dominate their environments through a complex interplay of aggression, specialized biological traits, and ecological pressures. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for conservation, public safety, and gaining a deeper insight into the natural world.

 
The book systematically uncovers these hidden dangers, starting with a broad definition of lethality that extends beyond predation. It dedicates chapters to specific mammals, such as the wolverine and hippopotamus, analyzing their physical attributes, behaviors, and ecological roles in relation to their lethality. Each chapter examines hunting techniques, defensive strategies, and environmental impact. The analysis draws from scientific literature, field studies, and expert interviews, providing a comprehensive look at the science and biology behind these deadly mammals.

 
The book culminates by examining the broader ecological and evolutionary implications of mammalian lethality and its impact on human-animal interactions. It emphasizes the importance of minimizing conflict through conservation efforts, ensuring the survival of both humans and wildlife. By focusing on a specific selection of mammals, Deadly Mammals provides an accessible and engaging exploration of a complex subject, appealing to nature enthusiasts, wildlife aficionados, and anyone interested in the hidden dangers of the animal kingdom.

    A structural engineer examines the seven most basic building blocks of engineering that have shaped the modern world. 
     
     
     
    Some of engineering's mightiest achievements are small in scale, even hidden—and yet, without them, the complex machinery on which our modern world runs would not exist. In Nuts and Bolts, Roma Agrawal examines seven of these extraordinary elements: the nail, the wheel, the spring, the lens, the magnet, the string, and the pump. 
     
     
     
    From the physics behind both Roman nails and modern skyscrapers to rudimentary springs that inspired lithium batteries, Agrawal shows us how even the most sophisticated items are built on the foundations of these ancient and fundamental breakthroughs in engineering. Agrawal explores an array of intricate technologies—dishwashers, spacesuits, microscopes, suspension bridges, breast pumps—making surprising connections and explaining how they work. Along the way, she recounts the stories of remarkable scientists and engineers from all over the world, and reveals how engineering has fundamentally changed the way we live.

    THE US EDITION OF THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER  
    A momentous medical breakthrough —a scientifically proven program for managing and reversing Type 2 Diabetes at any stage of health. 
    The fastest growing disease in the world, Type 2 diabetes has long been regarded as an incurable, lifelong condition that becomes progressively worse over time, resulting in pain, loss of vision, amputation, and even premature death. But there is hope. 
    For more than four decades, Dr. Roy Taylor has been studying the causes of diabetes. In 2017, he had a breakthrough: he found scientific proof that Type 2 diabetes is not only reversible, but that anyone following a simple regimen can prevent and cure it. Dr. Taylor’s research shows that Type 2 diabetes is caused by too much fat in the liver and pancreas, which interferes with both organs’ normal functioning. By losing less than 1 gram of fat, the liver and organ can begin to perform as they were designed to once again—thus beginning the reversal process.  
    The most efficient way to shed fat from the liver and pancreas is to lose weight as quickly as possible. Life Without Diabetes makes it easy for people to cut back on their daily calorie intake and avoid the two big problems of dieting—hunger and choice—and lose up to 35 pounds in just eight weeks. Thanks to Dr. Taylor, we can now fundamentally change how we treat and prevent this debilitating and all-too-common disease forever.

    Winner of the 2021 New Welsh Writing Awards: Rheidol Prize for Prose with a Welsh Theme or Setting
    'Vivid, quick and iridescent, Birdsplaining is an absolute kingfisher of a book' – Mike Parker
    A wren in the house foretells a death, while a tech-loving parrot aids a woman's recovery. Crows' misbehaviour suggests how the 'natural' order, ranked by men, may be challenged. A blur of bunting above an unassuming bog raises questions about how nature reserves were chosen. Should the oriole be named 'green' or golden? The flaws of field guides across decades prove that this is a feminist issue. A buzzard, scavenging a severed ewe's leg, teaches taboos about curiosity.
    Whose poo is the mammal scat uncovered in the attic, and should the swallows make their home inside yours? The nightjar's churring brings on unease at racism and privilege dividing nature lovers, past and present. The skin of a Palestine sunbird provokes concern at the colonial origins of ornithology. And when a sparrowhawk makes a move on a murmuration, the starlings show how threat – in the shape of flood, climate change or illness – may be faced down.
    Jasmine Donahaye is in pursuit of feeling 'sharply alive', understanding things on her own terms and undoing old lessons about how to behave. Here, she finally confronts fear: of violence and of the body's betrayals, daring at last, to 'get things wrong'.
    Roaming across Wales, Scotland and California, she is unapologetically focused on the uniqueness of women's experience of nature and the constraints placed upon it. Sometimes bristling, always ethical, Birdsplaining upends familiar ways of seeing the natural world.
    'Unusual, vivid… remarkably easy-to-read & enjoyable. Doesn't shy away from taking on difficult subjects… A means for personal reflection.' – BTO News [British Trust for Ornithology]
    'An erudite, bold, questing and valid collection of beautifully written essays. Whilst one eye stays focused on the injustices and cruelties of the world, the other gulps in its jewels and preciousness. Moving, stirring, and vital.' – Niall Griffiths
    'Superb… by turns moving, funny, illuminating… and… thought-provoking' – Katherine Stansfield
    'Upends familiar ways of seeing the natural world ― and in doing so, creates its own ecological niche' – Karen Lloyd, Caught by the River
    'A curiosity and passion so unapologetically alive that her words form wings' – Lotte Williams, Nation.Cymru
    'Neither human-centred nor its opposite. Although she explores human grief, violence and recovery, Donahaye also has a beautifully conveyed passion for the unromantic aspects of the environment… She bridges the very gap [in nature writing] that she identifies.' – Saskia McCracken, The Welsh Agenda
    'Whilst birds might not provide the answer to the meaning of life for Donahaye, they do have a part to play in finding meaning IN life, whether that be through personal symbolism and anecdotal encounters, or in larger questions about power and responsibility.' – Gwales.com
    'A fresh way of looking at nature writing, a deeply personal account that embraces its own subjectivity' – Zoe Kramer, Wales Arts Review
    'This is a beautiful collection where the nonhuman appears as a close neighbour… [and which] searches for hope and resilience in times of risk.' – Yvonne Reddick, New Welsh Reader
