Book excerpt: Seahorses are an exceptional and fascinating fish that live in coastal areas around most of the world. Only a few years ago keeping seahorses was not widely encouraged, due mainly to the difficulty in feeding wild caught specimens as they would not readily take frozen food. The supply of live food was often unpredictable and of uncertain quality, which meant keeping seahorses alive could be very challenging. Wild caught seahorses, being more used to hunting natural live food in the wild, knew nothing about dead, frozen foods!However, more recently, keeping seahorse in an aquarium has been made easier due to widespread captive breeding which has played an enormous role in keeping seahorses at home. As many species are now more commonly raised from fry in an aquarium, they are subsequently weaned on to and then reared on frozen foods from only a few weeks old.

Book excerpt: INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • A bestselling dystopian novel that tackles surveillance, privacy and the frightening intrusions of technology in our lives—a “compulsively readable parable for the 21st century” (Vanity Fair). When Mae Holland is hired to work for the Circle, the world’s most powerful internet company, she feels she’s been given the opportunity of a lifetime. The Circle, run out of a sprawling California campus, links users’ personal emails, social media, banking, and purchasing with their universal operating system, resulting in one online identity and a new age of civility and transparency. As Mae tours the open-plan office spaces, the towering glass dining facilities, the cozy dorms for those who spend nights at work, she is thrilled with the company’s modernity and activity. There are parties that last through the night, there are famous musicians playing on the lawn, there are athletic activities and clubs and brunches, and even an aquarium of rare fish retrieved from the Marianas Trench by the CEO. Mae can’t believe her luck, her great fortune to work for the most influential company in the world—even as life beyond the campus grows distant, even as a strange encounter with a colleague leaves her shaken, even as her role at the Circle becomes increasingly public. What begins as the captivating story of one woman’s ambition and idealism soon becomes a heart-racing novel of suspense, raising questions about memory, history, privacy, democracy, and the limits of human knowledge.
