<b>Listen up, folks: Bees are incredible. If you don't think so, you're wrong; but you're also in luck! Professional bee appreciator Matt Kracht is here to set the record straight with this helpful guidebook to all things bees.</b> <br/><br/>Broken into fourteen chapters that delve into various bee topics, from distinguishing between bees and not bees (very crucial), to exploring the absolute wonder that is bee behavior (they do a little dance directing their bee friends to a food source, for crying out loud!), to divulging the mind-blowing science behind honey making (just some extremely intricate and precise hexagonal honeycomb construction, no big deal), and more, Kracht paints a charming and enthusiastic picture of our favorite pollinators. <br/><br/>Kracht playfully and earnestly examines ten different kinds of bees, from the honeybee to the teddy bear bee, providing unbelievably cool facts and reasons why bees deserve a lot more credit. With lighthearted watercolor and ink drawings, humorous quips, lists, and musings, <i>OMFG, BEES! </i>will show you just how important these esteemed bee-list celebrities really are. (Hint: We can't live without them.)

Shortlisted for the 2024 Wainwright Prize for Writing on Conservation <br/><br/>'Sophie writes fantastically, chronicling the most important issues facing nature conservationists today.' <strong>Chris Packham</strong> <br/><br/>For thousands of years, humans have been the architects of the natural world. Our activities have permanently altered the environment - for good and for bad. <br/><br/>In <em>Nature's Ghosts</em>, award-winning journalist Sophie Yeo examines how the planet would have looked before humans scrubbed away its diversity: from landscapes carved out by megafauna to the primeval forests that emerged following the last Ice Age, and from the eagle-haunted skies of the Dark Ages to the flower-decked farms of more recent centuries. <br/><br/>Uncovering the stories of the people who have helped to shape the landscape, she seeks out their footprints even where it seems there are none to be found. And she explores the timeworn knowledge that can help to fix our broken relationship with the earth. <br/><br/>Along the way, Sophie encounters the environmental detectives - archaeological, cultural and ecological - reconstructing, in stunning detail, the landscapes we have lost. <br/><br/>Today, the natural world is more vulnerable than ever; the footprints of humanity heavier than they have ever been. But, as this urgent book argues, from the ghosts of the past, we may learn how to build a more wild and ancient future.

The basic thinking error with the usual methods of trying to imitate the fusion processes on the Sun and the other stars is that they consider the Sun as an ordinary ball of gas. A ball filled with hydrogen, helium and many other gases. But it is not like that. It is not gravity and temperature that are decisive.<br/> The sun and the other stars are plasma balls or plasma spheres filled with an electrically conducting plasma that swirls, creates sunspots (the sun's own "black holes"), electric currents, that circulate, flame...which causes deuterium, tritium, etc. can constantly clash and collide. And thanks to these ongoing processes also being catalysed, controlled and regulated fusion processes are created that produce the heat and light we can constantly see coming from the sun.<br/> We can imitate these processes here on Earth if we learn to control and regulate the fusion with the help of catalysts and computers!
