  In this book, we will explore some of the most popular and fascinating animals that people choose to keep as pets. People have spent years studying and researching the behaviour, biology, and ecology of various domestic and exotic animals, including cats, dogs, horses, spiders, snakes, and stick insects. 
  Cats and dogs have been domesticated for thousands of years and are some of the most beloved pets worldwide. They are known for their loyalty, companionship, and playful nature. Horses, on the other hand, have a long history of working alongside humans in various activities, including transportation, agriculture, and sports. 
  When it comes to exotic pets, spiders, snakes, and stick insects are some of the most intriguing animals to keep. These creatures may not be everyone`s cup of tea, but they have unique adaptations and behaviour patterns that make them fascinating to observe. Spiders, for example, have an intricate web-spinning ability that allows them to capture their prey with ease. Snakes, on the other hand, have a unique way of moving and hunting, which sets them apart from other animals. 
  Lastly, stick insects, also known as phasmids, are masters of disguise, blending seamlessly into their surroundings to avoid predators. 
  In this book, we will delve into the world of these animals, exploring their characteristics, care requirements, and any potential risks associated with keeping them as pets. Whether you are a seasoned pet owner or considering getting your first pet, this book is an excellent resource to learn more about these fascinating creatures. 
  I hope that you will find the information helpful, useful and profitable.

  ‘Fascinating … so enlightening that suddenly maths doesn’t seem so fearsome as it once did’ SIMON WINCHESTER 
  From Aristotle to Ada Lovelace: a brief history of the mathematical ideas that have forever changed the world and the everyday people and pioneers behind them. The story of our best invention yet. 
  From our ability to calculate the passing of time to the algorithms that control computers and much else in our lives, numbers are everywhere. They are so indispensable that we forget how fundamental they are to our way of life. 
  In this international bestseller, Mickaël Launay mixes history and anecdotes from around the world to reveal how mathematics became pivotal to the story of humankind. It is a journey into numbers with Launay as a guide. In museums, monuments or train stations, he uses the objects around us to explain what art can reveal about geometry, how Babylonian scholars developed one of the first complex written languages, and how ‘Arabic’ numbers were adopted from India. It All Adds Up also tells the story of how mapping the trajectory of an eclipse has helped to trace the precise day of one of the oldest battles in history, how the course of the modern-day Greenwich Meridian was established, and why negative numbers were accepted just last century. 
  This book is a vital compendium of the great men and women of mathematics from Aristotle to Ada Lovelace, which demonstrates how mathematics shaped the written word and the world. With clarity, passion and wisdom, the author unveils the unexpected and at times serendipitous ways in which big mathematical ideas were created. Supporting the belief that – just like music or literature – maths should be accessible to everyone, Launay will inspire a new fondness for the numbers that surround us and the rich stories they contain. 
  Launay's work is not just a biography of numbers, but a social commentary on how they have influenced every aspect of our lives. From science to technology, he explores the role of arithmetic in shaping our world. 
  For fans of David Spiegelhalter (The Art of Statistics), Steven H. Strogatz (Infinite Powers), Jo Boaler (Mathematical Mindsets), David Stipp (A Most Elegant Equation), and Jim Al-Khalili (The World According to Physics).

  The Egyptian pyramid is one of the most mysterious structures we have on Earth. Many times we will have wondered, seeing the pyramid of Khufu live or in the figure, how it could is been built, chi l'ha messa lì in quel luogo, e quando; ma soprattutto per quale ragione? Consisting of two million three hundred thousand stones, and weighing six millions tons, a mass of stones perfectly embedded like a laser, carried even from distant areas, and weighing eight tons each. When they were new, the pyramids could be compared to jewels, magnificent structures, which time has hardly scratched. But the most frequent question that comes to mind about them is: who built them? And were human beings able at that time to build something so huge and perfect? Or did they accept some outside help? And why was it so important to put them there? What was the purpose of putting them there? Now we will try to explain this great mystery, which shocked even Nicola Tesla, who was almost close to replicating them, creating free energy for the whol

  "Sounding appropriately David Attenborough-esque, Dugald Bruce-Lockhart narrates this in-depth look at the lives of 10 species of seabirds." — AudioFile MagazineLife itself could never have been sustainable without seabirds. As Adam Nicolson writes: "They are bringers of fertility, the deliverers of life from ocean to land."A global tragedy is unfolding. Even as we are coming to understand them, the number of seabirds on our planet is in freefall, dropping by nearly 70% in the last sixty years, a billion fewer now than there were in 1950. Of the ten birds in this audiobook, seven are in decline, at least in part of their range. Extinction stalks the ocean and there is a danger that the grand cry of the seabird colony, rolling around the bays and headlands of high latitudes, will this century become little but a memory.Seabirds have always entranced the human imagination and NYT best-selling author Adam Nicolson has been in love with them all his life: for their mastery of wind and ocean, their aerial beauty and the unmatched wildness of the coasts and islands where every summer they return to breed. The seabird’s cry comes from an elemental layer in the story of the world.Over the last couple of decades, modern science has begun to understand their epic voyages, their astonishing abilities to navigate for tens of thousands of miles on featureless seas, their ability to smell their way towards fish and home. Only the poets in the past would have thought of seabirds as creatures riding the ripples and currents of the entire planet, but that is what the scientists are seeing now today.
