Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This book investigates a vital and controversial question for conservation and rewilding in Britain and Ireland: could and should we learn to live with lynx, wolves and bears again We travel back in time, around the world and into the future to explore this contested topic. The author delve…s deep into the human psyche, considering not only his own mixed feelings about large carnivore reintroductions but also why people have such polarised perspectives on top predators. He brings his unique combination of expertise on snow leopards and their relationship with humans along with his experience as a farmer to illustrate the discussion. Along the way, we meet a cast of characters from across society, including farmers, rewilders and everyone in between. It becomes clear that coexisting with large carnivores is as much about sharing landscapes with each other as it is about sharing them with wildlife. The first book to tackle this subject in detail, based on more than 50 interviews from seven countries, Living with Lynx will be of relevance to anyone with an interest in the future of nature, farming and the countryside. Personal, detailed, unflinching and engaging, it adds a great deal to this rapidly evolving debate.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Wales has a diverse range of butterflies from the familiar Peacock to the elusive Large Heath, from the blisteringly quick High Brown Fritillary to the dainty Wood White, from the shimmering Silver-studded Blue to the orange glow of the Brown Hairstreak. This identification guide covers the… 44 species present in Wales, and includes explanations of their lifecycles, distribution maps highlighting where they are likely to be found and a section on rare migrants that have been encountered here and may occur again in the future. Butterflies are not just delicate insects flitting around our meadows, gardens and hedgerows; they are far more complicated than that. Their lifecycles are fascinating and in some cases it seems a wonder that they survive at all. Moreover, butterflies are key pollinators as well as excellent indicator species: when their numbers dwindle or they are absent, something is wrong a cause for concern and should be investigated. This book is ideal for people living in Wales keen to identify their local butterfly species, and for visitors interested in watching these charming insects.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Insects are often overlooked because they are small or ignored because they are deemed trivial, and many are dismissed as nuisance pests. But their numbers and diversity are mind-numbing, and under even a modest hand lens they are beautiful or bizarre.Insects dominate the centre ground of a…ll terrestrial and most aquatic ecosystems. They inform us of the conservation value of ancient woodland and chalk downland. They help monitor the purity or pollution levels of ponds, streams and rivers. And they can demonstrate the effects of climate change, acting as warning lights to alert us to the damage that humans are doing to the world. Recent insectageddon headlines are starting to make people sit up and take more notice.What better way to promote an interest in these fascinating creatures than by poetizing them This cornucopia of discordant nonsense, with some quite frankly dubious rhyming clashes, is offered up so that entomological outreach will at least benefit from their shock value. Ure-Jones, Calvin (ilustrador).

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - What does it mean to be a part ofrather than apart fromnature This book is about how we interact with wildlife and the ways in which this can make our lives richer and more fulfilling. But it also explores the conflicts and contradictions inevitable in a world that is now so completely dominated b…y our own species.Interest in wildlife and wild places, and their profound effects on human wellbeing, have increased sharply as we face up to the ongoing biodiversity extinction crisis and reassess our priorities following a global pandemic. Ian Carter, lifelong naturalist and a former bird specialist at Natural England, sets out to uncover the intricacies of the relationship between humans and nature. In a direct, down-to-earth style he explains some of the key practical, ethical and philosophical problems we must navigate as we seek to reconnect with nature.This wide-ranging and infectiously personal account does not shy away from controversial subjectssuch as how we handle invasive species, reintroductions, culling or dog ownershipand reveals in stark terms that properly addressing our connection to the natural world is an imperative, not a luxury.Short, pithy chapters make this book ideal for dipping into. Meanwhile, it builds into a compelling whole as the story moves from considering the wildlife close to home through to conflicts and, finally, the joy and sense of escape that can be had in the wildest corners of our landscapes, where there is still so much to discover.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Wolf Land traces the lives of the wolves that once called Britain and Ireland home. Beginning with the Ice Age, each chapter considers a key period in the history of wolves on these islands. Describing the landscapes they traversed, their relationship with the ever-growing human population, and th…e ways in which humans weaved wolves throughout every aspect of their cultural lives, from literature and art to religion and politics. Building on this history, Wolf Land concludes by reflecting on the parts of this story yet to be written, asking whether wolves could once again make Britain and Ireland their home. There is no better time for understanding the complex, multifaceted ecology of wolves in Britain and Ireland. Calls for widespread nature restoration and the reintroduction of apex predators necessitate a thorough understanding of the history of this animal, as well as the reasons why the species ultimately disappeared. Only by thoroughly comprehending the past can we hope to forge a future that involves wolves. Elizabeth Marshall is an expert in historical and literary research, with extensive knowledge of wolf ethology, ecology, and reintroduction. Passionate about critically examining and tracing historical sources, Elizabeth separates fact from the (ubiquitous) fiction associated with these animals. Wolf Land is a book for not only wolf lovers and natural and cultural history enthusiasts, but also for those interested in rewilding, reintroduction, and the complex yet fascinating relationship between nature and culture.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Otter Otter OTTER! That elusive shadow, that fleeting glimpse, that sleek and slender form disappearing beneath the surface of the water. It is one hundred years since Henry Williamson wrote Tarka the Otter, the book that first brought these captivating animals into the public consciousness. A lot… has changed for us over the last century, but is much different in the secretive life of the Otter Otters and the rivers in which they live have certainly been on a long journey, a perilous one at times. This book follows that course, a hundred years of riverine ebbs and flows. In richly poetic prose it reflects on what has happened to the Otter, as well as considering the outlook for this species today. Otters are now common across most of Britain, but is their future secure Are there hard-won lessons from the last ten decades that we still have not heeded From near extinction at the hands of hunters and pollution, to modern-day urban living, Otters have always been intricately entwined with their ecosystem and habitat. The author speaks to those involved in Otter conservation who do so much to help these remarkable and surprisingly adaptable mammals survive the challenges of our world. This book is the perfect companion for anyone with an interest in wildlife and the environment. For the Otter enthusiast, it is essential reading.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - High above the mountaintops on the Isle of Mull, a huge bird is soaring. Its all-encompassing gaze records people in its Hebridean territory far below, but they are of no interest. The eagle is about its business: concentrating on the deer and fidgety hares out grazing in the morning sun, t…he urgent push of thermals beneath its wings, a threatening weather front way out at sea, and the restless chick back in its eyrie. This is Mull in its glory. This is what the excited, watching people have travelled so far to witness. They train their binoculars and admire, perhaps envy, the eagle with its vast freedom, knowing that such a self-willed being is part of another world almost.This book guides the reader through that world. With superb illustrations and illuminating text, we are led to the wild side of Mull. Every facet of the island's natural history is considered, its diverse species and many stories past, present and future. Along the way we are reminded that wildness is not somehow separate from the human world but influenced, and shared, by nature and people together.Here is the tale of a precious and unique place, a seaborne landscape that displays an uncommon biodiversity and rare wildlife experiences, although today it also faces its greatest challenges. Most of all, this book is testimony to the power of wild places and the duty we have to learn from and protect them.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - A guide to birdwatching sites in Southern Spain: this book shows you where to go and when to visit for the best birding experience. This guide is best used alongside your field guide - it does not include information about identifying birds. Written by the author of The Birds of the Strait…of Gibraltar, this is a much-needed site guide to this major migratory passage point. It provides details of the key birdwatching sites and areas, and birdwatching tips for the region, as well as information on accommodation, planning a trip, bird species and other wildlife likely to be seen. This is a site guide, not an identification guide.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Thrips remain a mysterious group of insects because up to now they have been studied by only a few specialists. A factor limiting their appeal has been the problem of identification. Some species are genuinely difficult to separate, but others can be named fairly easily and some can even be… recognised alive in the field. The keys in this book have been designed to enable anyone with access to a good microscope to overcome the taxonomic hurdle in order to explore the unusual natural history and behaviour of thrips.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Most of us have noticed galls as bizarre and often colourful distortions of plant growth, and wondered what goes on inside them. The drama enacted within a single gall may involve many species of insects and mites. Their interrelationships are intricate and their identification has been cha…llenging. The communities of insects and mites associated with galls of certain plants, when unravelled by specialists, have proved to be of great ecological interest.This book will make galls accessible to a wider audience. It introduces the wonderfully complex communities associated with galls, and provides keys for identification of the gall former, and many other occupants, including predators and parasites. To make this task manageable the authors have concentrated on galls associated with selected plant species, and have presented a food web to illustrate the relationships among the animals associated with each type of gall. Much remains to be discovered about these and other galls and their inhabitants. For the first time, this book brings that exploration within the scope on interested naturalists and students.Galls are often abundant and readily available systems for the study of ecology. Investigations undertaken at home or in schools and universities may help to advance our knowledge of these microcosms, and of the ecological interactions that they illustrate so compactly. Askew, M. L.; Askew, R. (ilustrador).

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Morocco is a paradise for birdwatchers with its coasts, islands, wadis, plains, forests, mountains and deserts creating conditions that are often very different from those found in Europe. The richness of these habitats is clearly illustrated by the 452 species which have been recorded so f…ar. This is a very short period in the dynamics of bird communities, but a very long period in a country that has developed so quickly. The Government is encouraging development and tourism, for example in the Atlantic West Sahara, which opens up great new sites for birdwatchers. The most important, and easily accessible of these new sites have been included in this second edition, and the original 15 sites have been increased to at least 50. This book is not a field guide to species, rather it a guide to the sites of key ornithological importance in Morocco. It contains information and detailed maps to enable you plan a visit and provide guidance when you are on your trip. In addition, the book provides an overview of travel in Morocco, information about climate and habitats, when to go, and a full checklist of species.This book is a reprint of The Prion Birdwatchers' Guide to Morocco (2nd Edition, 2003, ISBN: 1871104092).

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - For centuries, botanists have been drawn to the rarest species, sometimes with dire consequences for the species' survival. In this book, Great Britain's rarest flowering plants are discussed in turn, including the stories behind their discovery, the reasons for their rarity, and the work b…eing done to save them from dying out. It is hoped that it will help to throw light on some of the species that normally gain little attention, and foster an appreciation of our most threatened plants. This guide describes 66 native species of plants that have the most narrowly restricted ranges in Great Britain. These range from continental, warmth-loving species in the south of England to those found only on the highest Scottish mountains. Each species is shown together with its habitat to allow the reader to better understand the ecological context. Other scarce plants in the same area are indicated.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Embark on an extraordinary journey into the hidden world of moss. Just like adventurers seeking the Big Five animals on an African safari, we invite you to discover the wonders of the microscopic Big Five organisms that dwell within the mosses on our roofs, walls and pavements. Let's go on…a Moss Safari!On your journey into this miniature universe, your guide will reveal the secrets of this hidden realm. Here, you'll soon encounter those microscopic Big Five: the robust moss mites, the excitable nematodes, the adaptable rotifers, the resilient tardigrades and the elusive gastrotrichs. Each of these remarkable organisms possesses astonishing adaptations to survive in this surprisingly harsh habitat. As Andrew unveils the behaviour and ecology of these little-known organisms, you'll find yourself captivated by their intriguing stories, shedding light on their significance in evolution, global ecosystems and even in medical breakthroughs. Each animal is the subject of cutting-edge scientific research and much of the science is not yet done.Whether an armchair naturalist, a student of biology or an amateur microscopist, you will be entranced by this quest and will never see moss in the same way again. Be prepared to get inspired and maybe pick up your own microscope to embark on a search to find the Big Five.

Neuware - 'thoroughly recommended' Country-side magazineThe Red Kite (Milvus milvus) one of our most elegant and impressive birds of prey has a varied and dramatic history in Britain. Having been driven perilously close to extinction, it has now made a welcome comeback, in part through one of the mos…t successful reintroduction projects ever undertaken. This beautifully illustrated book follows the birds through the ups and downs of the year, from the rigours of raising young during the warm summer months to the struggle for survival in the depths of winter.Interspersed with the monthly accounts, are chapters on the history of the Red Kite in Britain, the reintroduction programme, the threats it still faces, and its status elsewhere in Europe. Red Kite biology is explored from nest construction, egg laying and nest defence, through to juveniles leaving the nest and learning to live independently. The book concludes with an overview of Red Kite status throughout their range.With a foreword by Mark Avery.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This remarkable book offers a portrait of insects unlike any seen before. Using an original lens-based method of high-speed photography inspired by the wraparound vision of the compound eye, it presents 60 stunning images of flying insects. These unique panoramic close-ups take the study of… flight out of the laboratory and into the natural environment, offering fascinating new insights on the behavioural ecology of insect flight. As a form of animal locomotion, flight is a marvel of biological engineering, based on laws of aerodynamics virtually unknown in the world of human aircraft. But it would be wrong to think of flying insects as merely instinct-driven machines; life on the wing is challenging, and safe navigation requires a highly responsive nervous system. Moreover, insect flight is not just a mechanical process but an expression of complex and finely coordinated patterns of behaviour, including dancing displays, patrolling of breeding territories, wing waving as a form of signalling, and more. In the same way that a person's hands are not merely functional instruments, the wings of an insect, through their movements, mirror inner impulses. In lucid and engaging prose the author explains the anatomy and physiology of flight, its evolutionary advantages and drawbacks, and the distinct flight patterns shown by different groups of insects demonstrating how a central nervous system comprising fewer than a million neurons can orchestrate such a varied repertoire of manoeuvres. Looking at things from insects' point of view will help us see them not just as pests or resources to be exploited, but as vital fellow inhabitants of our planet in need of protection and conservation.
