A fascinating journey into the secret life of insects, with QR
codes to video and audio to bring the creatures to life. Just as
birds have yearly rhythms, so do insects, bees, beetles and
butterflies. Wildlife experts Dominic Couzens and Gail Ashton
discover 52 minibeasts from around the world, every week of the
year. They tell the story of what is happening week-by-week in the
insect world, in our own backyards and just outside our patio
doors. From the daily grind of the house spider building a new web
each morning, to the vast appetites of ladybirds, which can devour
hundreds of aphids a day, and the glory of the Stag beetle's maiden
flight. We delve into the world of the lethal Sydney funnelweb
spider in Australian gardens, the migratory mission of the Monarch
butterfly in America and the life of the backdoor scorpions in
South Africa. In amongst the seasonal behaviour, the authors have
woven history and folkloric tales – from Cardinal Wolsey's fear
of spiders to how flies can solve murders. These brilliant stories
are complemented by wonderful, commissioned illustrations that
bring out the beauty of the entomological world. A QR code for each
entry takes you to a video or audio file to further explore the
habits of these intriguing creatures. A book for any nature lover
to reveal the true wonder of our insect neighbours.

‘Bex and Laura really have pieced together the parachute we all
need to help us land safely after falling into the world of loss
and fertility struggles.’ Elle Wright, author of A Bump In The
Road A practical and emotional self-help guide for anyone affected
by miscarriage and pregnancy loss, from the co-hosts of the
successful podcast, The Worst Girl Gang Ever. Following pregnancy
loss, it can feel like you’ve forgotten how to speak and need to
learn a new language. You can tell your story to a room full of
people but if no-one speaks this new language, they won’t
understand. They will try but ultimately, they won’t fully grasp
what you are saying. This is us. This is our new language. It is a
language built from pain, and it is a language we need to teach
others. Welcome to our gang. We are so, so sorry that you’ve
found yourself here. It’s the gang you’d never chose to join
but it is also a community chock-a-block full of kind, supportive,
warrior women just like you. We are here to tell you that you are
entitled to grieve, and that your grief is not disproportionate to
your loss. We are here to open up the dialogue around miscarriage,
so we don’t perpetuate the shame, judgement and isolation so many
of us feel following pregnancy loss. We are here to equip you with
knowledge, tools and guidance to support and help you in whatever
way you need. Let’s get talking. Let’s get sharing. Let’s
start empowering and supporting one another. No more shame, no more
taboo, no more silence.
A Wall Street Journal bestseller World-renowned researcher and New
York Times bestselling author Marcus Buckingham helps us discover
where we're at our best-both at work and in life. You've long been
told to "Do what you love." Sounds simple, but the real challenge
is how to do this in a world not set up to help you. Most of us
actually don't know the real truth of what we love-what engages us
and makes us thrive-and our workplaces, jobs, schools, even our
parents, are focused instead on making us conform. Sadly, no person
or system is dedicated to discovering the crucial intersection
between what you love to do and how you contribute it to others. In
this eye-opening, uplifting book, Buckingham shows you how to break
free from this conformity-how to decode your own loves, turn them
into their most powerful expression, and do the same for those you
lead and those you love. How can you use love to reveal your unique
gifts? How can you pinpoint what makes you stand out from anyone
else? How can you choose roles in which you'll excel? Love and Work
unlocks answers to these questions and others, so you can: Choose
the right role on the team. Describe yourself compellingly in job
interviews. Mold your existing role so that it calls upon the very
best of you. Position yourself as a leader in such a way that your
followers quickly come to trust in you. Make lasting change for
your team, your company, your family, or your students. Love, the
most powerful of human emotions, the source of all creativity,
collaboration, insight, and excellence, has been systematically
drained from our lives-our work, teams, and classrooms. It's time
we brought love back in. Love and Work shows you how.
