Download or read book Natural History Museum Book of Animal Records written by Mark Carwardine and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From an award-winning zoology writer and the experts at the National History Museum in London comes 256 pages packed with thousands of fascinating facts, animal records and stunning photographs. Here are the achievers from all animal groups: mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes and invertebrates. These achievements are not only the familiar ones like highest, fastest, best sense of smell and most colourful, but the unusual, like man-eating, most vegetarian, least toes. Most bizarre defence, highest g-force and strangest ribs. In fact, almost all the records are extraordinary, like midwife bats, the many blood-eating species in all animal orders and the only primate with echolocation (the aye-aye). Many others dispel myths about animals, like centipedes having the most legs, not millipedes. The mammals, amphibians, reptiles and invertebrates are organized by animal order, family and species. Birds are organized by category. The records relate to many characteristics, for example, for Camelidae (camels and llamas) the facts include their domestication, the altitude at which they live, the largest and the smallest, and how the various species have adapted to their habitat. Exceptionality is within each category rather than the entire Animal Kingdom, so in mammals, the largest bat is the flying bat but the largest of all mammals is the elephant, and the largest of all animals is the blue whale. AUTHOR: Zoologist Mark Carwardine is an award-winning writer, widely published photographer and TV and radio presenter. 240 colour photos

Download or read book The Moth Snowstorm written by Michael McCarthy and published by John Murray. This book was released on 2015-05-21 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A great, rhapsodic, urgent book full of joy, grief, rage and love . . . A must-read' Helen Macdonald, author of H is for Hawk Nature has many gifts for us, but perhaps the greatest of them all is joy; the intense delight we can take in the natural world, in its beauty, in the wonder it can offer us, in the peace it can provide - feelings stemming ultimately from our own unbreakable links to nature, which mean that we cannot be fully human if we are separate from it. In The Moth Snowstorm Michael McCarthy, one of Britain's leading writers on the environment, proposes this joy as a defence of a natural world which is ever more threatened, and which, he argues, is inadequately served by the two defences put forward hitherto: sustainable development and the recognition of ecosystem services. Drawing on a wealth of memorable experiences from a lifetime of watching and thinking about wildlife and natural landscapes, The Moth Snowstorm not only presents a new way of looking at the world around us, but effortlessly blends with it a remarkable and moving memoir of childhood trauma from which love of the natural world emerged. It is a powerful, timely, and wholly original book which comes at a time when nature has never needed it more.
