Sinopsis

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.

    Described by the right-wing media as "the most dangerous man in Britain" because of his uncompromising socialist views, Steve Hedley, born in Derry (Ireland), tells the story of a massacre in his hometown and other significant events that shaped his ideology.
    Steve shares his memories of the hunger strikes, the poll tax, his participation in militant antifascism and trade unionism which led him to be elected to second in command of the RMT union. He explores the limitations of trade unionism and advocates a return to class politics tied to environmental and global socialist goals. This is an exciting thought-provoking book which sparks a debate about the state of the left in Britain and the necessity of employing the power of the working class to combat catastrophic climate change and war.

    A Week on the Concord and...

    Henry David Thoreau

    In 1839, two years after graduating from Harvard, Henry David Thoreau and his older brother, John, took a boat-and-hiking trip from Concord, Massachusetts, to the White Mountains of New Hampshire. After John’s sudden death in 1842, Thoreau began to prepare a memorial account of their excursion during his stay at Walden Pond. Modern readers have come to see Thoreau’s story of the river journey as an appropriate predecessor to Walden, depicting the early years of his spiritual and artistic growth. 
    “Just as the current of the stream bears along the boat with Thoreau and his brother, so the current of ideas in his mind bears along the reader by evoking the joy and nostalgia that Thoreau feels for those lost, golden days. As Thoreau says, human life is very much like a river running always downward to the sea, and in this book we enter for a moment the flow of Thoreau’s unique existence.”—Masterplots
