Sinossi

"Killer Bees" explores the fascinating yet alarming story of Africanized honey bees, a hybrid species known for their heightened aggression and potent stings. Originating from an accidental release in Brazil, these bees rapidly spread across the Americas, presenting unique challenges for both humans and native bee populations. The book examines the biological and genetic factors driving their behavior, revealing how evolutionary pressures and resource availability contribute to their robust colony defense strategies. This exploration begins with an introduction to honey bee biology before detailing the history and expansion of Africanized honey bees.

 
Major sections analyze their aggressive behavior, supported by research on venom composition and colony defense. The book goes on to discuss practical management techniques for beekeepers and the general public while also considering the long-term implications of their presence on biodiversity and human societies. What sets this book apart is its balanced perspective, acknowledging the risks while highlighting the ecological role and potential benefits of these bees.

 
It's an accessible resource for students, researchers, beekeepers, and anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics of these controversial insects, offering valuable insights into their biology, ecology, and management.

    As a child in the foothills of the Himalayas, Priyanka Kumar was entranced by forest-like orchards of diverse and luscious fruit—especially apples. These biodiverse orchards seemed worlds away from the cardboard apples that lined supermarket shelves. Yet on a small patch of woods near her home in Santa Fe, Kumar discovered a wild apple tree—and the seeds of an odyssey were planted. In The Light Between Apple Trees, Kumar takes us on a dazzling and transformative journey to rediscover apples, unearthing a rich and complex history while illuminating how we can reimagine our relationship with nature.Apples are popular, but in our everyday lives we rarely encounter more than a handful of varieties: of the sixteen thousand apple varieties once celebrated in America, scarcely a fifth remain accessible. Kumar reveals the richness of a hidden world. She brilliantly weaves together science and childhood memories with the apple's storied history, from its roots in Kazakhstan to Spanish orchards in the Southwest and Thomas Jefferson's beloved Monticello fruitery.The Light Between Apple Trees is a lyric odyssey that will forever change how you look at an "apple a day." Kumar shows how—if we follow untamed paths—the tang and texture of an apple can lead us back to the wild.

    The charming sequel to the bestselling The Unlikely Voyage of Jack de Crow. 
     
     
    When A.J. 'Sandy' Mackinnon sailed a tiny dinghy through twelve countries from North Wales to the Black Sea, he survived pirates, the English Channel, international incidents and all the disasters, big and small, that can befall a little boat on a long voyage. Those adventures became his beloved bestseller The Unlikely Voyage of Jack de Crow. 
     
    Decades later, that trip is a happy memory and Sandy is firmly back on land – until a message from a stranger presents an opportunity too good to refuse. Sandy picks up where his first voyage left off, sailing and rowing single-handedly around the coast from Romania to Venice. From Istanbul to Ithaca, Mount Olympus to the ruins of Troy, he finds himself immersed in the legends of antiquity, plays chicken with mercurial border police, and is saved more than once by the kindness of strangers.  
     
    He recounts it all with his unbreakable enthusiasm and self-deprecating humour, taking the reader on a hilarious and unforgettable adventure.
