Summary

Terror from Below uncovers the hidden world of aquatic predators that use ambush tactics, attacking unsuspecting prey from beneath. It explores a diverse range of predators in both freshwater and marine ecosystems, highlighting their unique evolutionary adaptations like specialized sensory organs and camouflage. 

 
The book emphasizes how crucial predation from below is in shaping aquatic communities, influencing prey behavior and distribution, and challenging traditional views of aquatic food webs. The book delves into the physics of underwater hunting, considering water movement and the limitations of sight. Specific examples, such as the alligator snapping turtle and anglerfish, showcase unique hunting behaviors.

 
The book progresses from fundamental principles to specific case studies, ultimately discussing the ecological implications and effects on conservation efforts. By focusing on the "below" perspective of predation, the book presents a novel approach and a fresh viewpoint. It connects biomechanics, sensory biology, and evolutionary ecology to enrich the discussion and demonstrate the multifaceted nature of predation.

 
The book uses scientific literature, field studies, original observations, and underwater video footage analysis to provide a unique perspective of these fascinating creatures in their natural environment.

Masters of Space

Walter Kellogg Towers

This is the story of talking at a distance, of sending messages through space. It is the story of great men—Morse, Thomson, Bell, Marconi, and others—and how, with the aid of men like Field, Vail, Catty, Pupin, the scientist, and others in both the technical and commercial fields, they succeeded in flashing both messages and speech around the world, with wires and without wires. It is the story of how the thought of the world has been linked together by those modern wonders of science and of industry—the telegraph, the submarine cable, the telephone, the wireless telegraph, and, most recently, the wireless telephone.

Future Wild - Nature Restoration...

Richard Nairn

Ireland has little left of its original natural habitats. Many species, like the curlew, are under pressure due to intensive practices such as farming, forestry and fisheries and some are threatened with extinction. But given a little help from us, nature has the innate capacity to restore itself.


Nature restoration is the positive management of the environment for the benefit of wildlife and people. It looks to the future, by steering natural habitats and wildlife in a better and more sustainable direction.


In Future Wild: Nature Restoration in Ireland, Richard Nairn explores numerous active restoration projects around Ireland which show how natural habitats and native species can be restored sustainably for the benefit of everyone. From individual landowners and voluntary organisations to state bodies such as Bord na Móna, he meets the people who are dedicated to nature restoration.


By turns shocking, hopeful and finally positive, Future Wild shows that the damage we have done to nature can also be undone by us, and that, with nature restoration, we can create a richer and more diverse environment for generations to come.
