Summary

In "Additions to the List of the Birds of Louisiana," Jr. George H. Lowery meticulously compiles and analyzes recent observations and classifications of bird species native to Louisiana. This work stands as a significant contribution to ornithological literature, blending scientific rigor with accessible prose that invites both specialists and enthusiasts. Lowery employs a systematic approach, detailing the habitat, distribution, and behavior of each species, thus enriching the understanding of avian biodiversity in the region. Set against the backdrop of increasing ecological pressures, this publication serves not only as a record but as a clarion call for conservation efforts in Louisiana's unique ecosystems. George H. Lowery Jr., a preeminent figure in American ornithology, dedicated much of his career to studying the avifauna of the southeastern United States. His extensive fieldwork and keen observational skills were influenced by his academic mentorships and a lifelong passion for avian studies. Lowery's authoritative voice stems from both his scholarly achievements and his deep-rooted connection to the natural world, which informed his critical insights into the shifting patterns of bird populations over time. This book is essential for ornithologists, conservationists, and avid bird watchers alike. It not only enhances the existing body of knowledge pertaining to Louisiana's birds but also underscores the importance of ongoing research and environmental awareness. Readers will find in Lowery's work a profound appreciation for avian life, inviting them to engage with and protect the fragile habitats that support these species.

    'It's a paradox but this was one of the most chilling books I've read this year. It's the definitive guide to where we're heading' ANTHONY HOROWITZ
    
    
    'The Earth is already in a dangerous phase of heating. Many scientists admit privately to actually being "scared" by recent weather extremes. But the public doesn't like pessimism, so we environment journalists hint at future optimism. This book provides a more steely-eyed view on how we can cope with a hothouse world.' - ROGER HARRABIN, former BBC Environment Analyst
    
    
    'This accessible and authoritative book is a must-read for anyone who still thinks it could be OK to carry on as we are for a little bit longer, or that climate chaos might not affect them or their kids too badly.' MIKE BERNERS-LEE is a professor at Lancaster University, founder of Small World Consultancy and author of There is No Planet B: A Handbook for the Make or Break Years
    
    
    'If you read just one book about the menace of climate breakdown, make it this one.' - TIM RADFORD, Climate News Network
    
    
    We inhabit a planet in peril. Our once temperate world is locked on course to become a hothouse entirely of our own making.
    
    Hothouse Earth: An Inhabitant's Guide provides a post-COP26 perspective on the climate emergency, acknowledging that it is now practically impossible to keep this side of the 1.5°C dangerous climate change guardrail. The upshot is that we can no longer dodge the arrival of disastrous, all-pervasive, climate breakdown that will come as a hammer blow to global society and economy.
    
    
    Bill McGuire, Professor of Geophysical and Climate Hazards, explains the science behind the climate crisis and for the first time presents a blunt but authentic picture of the sort of world our children will grow old in, and our grandchildren grow up in; a world that we catch only glimpses of in today's blistering heatwaves, calamitous wildfires and ruinous floods and droughts. Bleak though it is, the picture is one we must all face up to, if only to spur genuine action - even at this late stage - to stop a harrowing future becoming a truly cataclysmic one.

    From the familiar to the improbable, the gross to the endearing, The Modern Bestiary is a compendium of curious creatures. It includes both animals that have made headlines and those you’ve probably never heard of, such as skin-eating  
    caecilians, harp sponges, or zombie worms—also known as bone-eating snot flowers.  
     
    Arranged by elements, Earth, Water and Air, The Modern Bestiary contains wellknown species told from new and unexpected angles (rats that drive cars; fish that communicate by passing wind), as well as stranger and lesser-known creatures  
    (including carnivorous mice that howl at the moon, cross-dressing cuttlefish, and antechinuses—small marsupials that literally mate themselves to death). Finally, there are the ‘aliens on Earth’—the incredible, the surreal, the magical—such as  
    tardigrades, tongue-eating lice and immortal jellyfish, creatures so astonishing that they make unicorns look rather commonplace. 
     
    Written by a zoologist with a flair for storytelling, this is a fascinating celebration of the animal kingdom.
