Watching dragonflies dart among the plants on a riverbank or at the
edge of your pond is one of the joys of summer. But do you know a
Southern Damselfly from a Variable Damselfly? Or can you tell the
difference between a Scarce Chaser and a Keeled Skimmer?
Dragonflies and damselflies - known collectively as Odonata - are
some of our most fascinating insects. Although they only live for a
short time, they have many behaviours that are easy to observe,
including captivating aerial skills that they utilise to hunt in
mid-air. RSPB ID Spotlight Dragonflies and Damselflies is a
reliable fold-out chart that presents illustrations of 42 of our
most widespread and familiar Odonata by renowned artist Richard
Lewington. - Species are grouped by family and helpfully labelled
to assist with identification - Artworks are shown side by side for
quick comparison and easy reference at home or in the field - The
reverse of the chart provides information on the habitats,
behaviour, life cycles and diets of our dragonflies and
damselflies, as well as the conservation issues they are facing and
how the RSPB and other conservation charities are working to
support them - Practical tips on how to install a wildlife pond and
make your garden more dragonfly- and damselfly-friendly are also
included The ID Spotlight charts help wildlife enthusiasts identify
and learn more about our most common species using accurate colour
illustrations and informative, accessible text.
Millions of people across the world have heard of Jesus Christ, but
how many are truly familiar with the key locations he frequented?
Following the chronology of Jesus' life and ministry, and drawing
especially on the Gospel of Luke, Peter Walker takes us from
Bethlehem to Nazareth to the desert as we follow Jesus on his final
journey from Galilee to Jerusalem. In each chapter particular
attention is given to what Jesus did in that location, and to the
authenticity of archaeological and recorded evidence of later
pilgrims and historians. Building on the success of the first
edition, this updated and expanded edition takes into account the
most recent archaeological discoveries. Richly illustrated, and
using maps, timelines, and feature boxes to highlight important
themes, this is a rich and absorbing guide that provides a unique
insight into Jesus' world - an ideal companion for travellers to
the Holy land or for scholars and pastors around the world.

American Star Mendoza is living in her dream location, Edinburgh, a
place she discovered in British novels while growing up. Employed
at a trendy city centre coffee shop, quirky, pink-haired Star
spends her days fantasising about a handsome businessman she serves
daily. He's totally out of her league but a girl can dream, right?
Fin Hunter is exhausted from striving for his father's elusive love
and approval, and of following a life path of his family's making.
When things go drastically wrong Fin decides it's time to stand on
his own two feet and follow his own dream. Star is bereft when her
handsome stranger stops coming to her coffee shop, but a chance
encounter in the most unlikely of places leaves her wondering if

fail? Previously Published as 'Star Attraction' Praise for Lisa
