The new book from the author of the Sunday Times bestseller, Millie
Marotta's Animal Kingdom. Lose yourself in the calming world of
woodland wildlife. Whether it's statuesque pines or a steamy
tropical forest, you will discover a wealth of beautiful and
intriguing creatures that dwell in the world's forests - from
foxes, fireflies and fallow deer to lemurs, leaf frogs and lady
bugs. Millie's much-loved intricate drawing style will be
irresistible for those who love to colour. Meander through a world
of towering trees, leafy canopies, exquisite blossoms and
underground burrows to meet a huge array of animals that make the
woods their home. Featuring species from across the globe, this is
a celebration of the world's forests - vibrant and teeming with
life - guaranteeing hours of relaxation and colouring fun.
It is a time of awakening. In our fields, hedgerows and woodlands,
our beaches, cities and parks, an almost imperceptible shift soon
becomes a riot of sound and colour: winter ends, and life surges
forth once more. Whether in town or country, we all share in this
natural rhythm, in the joy and anticipation of the changing year.
In prose and poetry both old and new, Spring mirrors the unfolding
of the season, inviting us to see what's around us with new eyes.
Featuring original writing by Rob Cowen, Miriam Darlington and
Stephen Moss, classic extracts from the work of George Orwell,
Clare Leighton and H. E. Bates, and fresh new voices from across
the UK, this is an original and inspiring collection of nature
writing that brings the British springtime to life in all its vivid
glory.
A thrilling face-to-face encounter with animals in their own
environment – their elaborate displays, intimate lives, and
extraordinary behaviour
Did you know that elephants give each other names, orangutans
self-medicate, and rats giggle? Animal Behaviour is full of hundreds of
stories that shed light on how animals navigate life in the wild.
Packed with vivid wildlife photography and action sequences, every
aspect of animal life and behaviour is explored and explained – from
courtship rituals and birth to hunting and death. An initial overview
of animal anatomy and physiology reveals the science and biomechanics
that underpin animal behaviour, while later chapters thematically break
down the intricacies of animal feeding, development, communication,
intelligence, learning, and other behavioural characteristics. Learn
about play through river otters, see socialization among parrots at the
riverbank, and catch prey with a fishing spider. Feature panels
throughout the book explore the biology behind these traits, introduce
case studies from the field, and highlight critical conservation issues
facing these animals.
Animal Behaviour has been created in collaboration with internationally
renowned zoologist and TV presenter Charlotte Uhlenbroek and a team of
wildlife experts to ensure up-to-date and accurate information.

The Alps have seen the march of armies, the flow of pilgrims and
Crusaders, the feats of mountaineers and the dreams of
engineers—and some 14 million people live among their peaks
today. In The Alps, Stephen O’Shea takes readers up and down
these majestic mountains, journeying through their 500-mile arc
across France, Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Germany, Austria
and Slovenia. He explores the reality behind Hannibal’s crossing;
he reveals how the Alps have influenced culture from Frankenstein
to Heidi and The Sound of Music; and he visits the spot of Sherlock
Holmes’s death scene, the bloody site of the Italians’ retreat
in the First World War and Hitler’s notorious Eagle’s Nest.
Throughout, O’Shea records his adventures with the watch makers,
salt miners, cable-car operators and yodelers who define the Alps
today.
