  • Bees: Heroes of the Garden

    Amber Books Ltd Bees: Heroes of the Garden

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisBees is an outstanding collection of photographs showing these fascinating insects in their natural habitat. Honey bees, bumblebees, mining bees, dwarf bees, carpenter, leafcutter and mason bees: bees come in many different types, with more than 16,000 species worldwide. The bees we are most familiar with, bumblebees and honey bees, live in colonies and play a major role in pollinating the crops, plants and flowers around us. And bees produce honey – reputedly the food of the gods – a function of bees’ lifecycle, which humans have exploited for millennia. Many bees today are domesticated, and beekeepers collect honey, beeswax, pollen, and royal jelly from hives for human use. A typical bee produces a teaspoon of honey (about 5 grams) in her lifetime. Bees can communicate many ways through the movement of their wings and bodies – most famously, with the ‘waggle dance’, where they make figure-of- eight circles to let other bees know the direction and distance of nectar. With full captions explaining how bees live, function communally, communicate, feed and reproduce, Bees is an insightful examination in 190 outstanding colour photographs of mankind’s favourite insect.Table of ContentsIntroduction 1. Social Bees There are around 16,000 species of bees worldwide in the Anthophila clade. Some bees live and work together. This chapter covers the eusocial life cycle of queens, drones and worker bees, revealing facts about their nests and general activity. It also introduces the most famous type of bee, the honey bee (Apis), as well as bumblebees (Bombus) and stingless bees (Meliponini). 2. Solitary Bees Not all bees live and work with others; some like to lead their own lives. This chapter is a roll call of solitary bees, and includes mason bees, carpenter, bees, plasterer bees, digger bees, mining bees, orchid bees, cuckoo bees and sweat bees. 3. Bee Anatomy Bees have a hard outer shell called an exoskeleton. They have three main body parts: the head, thorax and abdomen. A pair of antennae is attached to their head and they have two pairs of wings. This section contains fascinating close-up shots of every aspect of a bee’s physiology – its eyes, mouthparts, legs, feet, wings (at rest and in flight), waist, stinger, ovipositor, hairs and antennae. 4. Behaviour There are three types of honey bees: the queen, the workers and the drones. A queen bee is the only female bee in the hive that reproduces. Worker bees are all female, and are all offspring of the queen. The males in the hive are called drones. Drones fly off to reproduce with other young queens who will start a new colony. Here we look at these roles, as well as brood care, honey production, building the honeycomb, foraging, defence and swarming. 5. Bees and Flowers Pollen and nectar collection is a vital part of the ecosystem bees operate in, and they will fly up to 2 kilometers (1.3 miles) from the nest to collect nectar and pollen from flowers. Forager bees usually live just 30 days after they begin foraging. This is because foraging is one of the most dangerous tasks. Bees also collect water for drinking and cooling the nest.

These lush, wet biospheres are home to some of the most colourful creatures on our planet. Did you know that parrots can live for 80 years or more? Or that most tropical birds are omnivores and will eat seeds, nuts, fruit and insects, while a few will eat small lizards or animals? The world’s longest parrot is the stunningly bright hyacinth macaw (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus), checking in at more than a metre from tip to tail. From the screeching red-and-green macaw to the majestic great hornbill, from the rainbow lorikeet of northern Queensland to the endangered Spix’s macaw of the Amazonian rainforest, Tropical Birds explores the fascinating lifecycles, diets and, where applicable, migratory patterns, of hundreds of species from every part of the tropical belt.

  • Sharks and Underwater Predators

    Amber Books Ltd Sharks and Underwater Predators

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisWith fossil records dating back 400 million years, sharks have outlived the dinosaurs and many other forms of life currently on earth – they are even older than trees. There are more than 1,000 species of sharks and rays, with new species discovered every year. Through their evolution, sharks have shaped our oceans into the rich habitats we know today. As apex predators, sharks play an important role in the ecosystem by maintaining the species below them in the food chain – helping remove the weak and sick, and keeping the ocean and fish populations healthy. Other deadly predators of the deep – such as the box jellyfish, lionfish and giant octopus – are also to be feared. Did you know the Stonefish is the most venomous fish species to swim in our oceans? Better not get too close – it has 13 dorsal fin spines that release deadly toxins when the fish gets into threatening situations. Learn about the dwarf lantern shark, which is so small it can fit in the palm of your hand; or the whale shark, which grow up to 12 metres (40ft) in length and is the largest known fish species in the oceans today; or the great white shark, the oceans’ top predator and capable of chewing up dolphins and seals with its 300 teeth. With full captions explaining the different species, behaviour and feeding habits, Sharks & Underwater Predators is a lively examination of these elemental killers in more than 180 vivid photographs.Table of ContentsContents to include:Introduction1: Galean SharksCarcharhiniformes: Hammerhead shark, tiger shark, blue shark, bull shark, blacktip reef shark, lemon shark, dusky sharkHeterodontiformes: horn shark, Galapagos bullhead sharkHexanchiformes: Frilled shark, broadnose sevengill/cow, bluntnose six gillLamniformes: great white, basking, shortfin mako, porbeagle, goblin, thresher2: Dogfish and Carpet SharksOrectolobiformes: wobbegong, zebra, epaulette, nurse, whalePristiophoriformes: bahamas sawshark and longnose sawsharkSqualiformes: cookiecutter, greenland, spined pygmy, spiny dogfishSqantiniformes: Japanese angel and pacific angel3: Rays and SkatesSkates and rays are very closely related to sharks. They're flatter in shape, which makes them well suited for life on the sea-floor. Their mouth, nostrils and gills are located on the underside of their body. While their eyes are on top.4: Other PredatorsBox jellyfish, great barracuda, lionfish, sarcastic fringhead, stonefish, Sailfish, anemones, tuna, octopus, squid, crabs, lobsters, mantis shrimps5: Marine Mammal HuntersWhales, dolphins, walrus, otters, polar bears

    Book SynopsisOften associated with spring and Easter, fluffy bunnies and rabbits are also synonymous with undeniably cute animals. You may have read the Velveteen Rabbit as a child or seen Bambi – where rabbits are portrayed as sweet, sympathetic characters. However, wild rabbits are relatively independent and territorial creatures, making them prone to aggression when they have not been domesticated as household pets. Read Rabbits and learn about the many breeds found across the world, from the Riverine rabbit, solitary and nocturnal, one of the most endangered animals in the world, to the French Angora, docile and sociable, often bred for the long hair of its coat, known as Angora wool. Discover the miniature lop, which with its cute floppy ears and button nose, rarely weighs more than three kilograms (six pounds); learn how rabbits and hares use their large, translucent ears to regulate their body temperature; and see how the black-tailed jackrabbit can run at speeds of 65 km/h (40 mph) to dodge predators in the deserts of North America. With informative, detailed captions accompanying each image explaining the origins, habitat and behaviour of these unmistakable hunters, Rabbits is a vivid pictorial guide in 130 brilliant photographs.Table of ContentsIntroduction1: RABBIT BREEDS Holland lop Netherland dwarf rabbit Angora rabbit Mini rex Teddy dwarf Dutch rabbit Miniature lop Lionhead rabbit Harlequin rabbit French Angora Silver fox rabbit Satin rabbit White Vienna rabbit Jersey Wooly Gotland rabbit Pannon white Hyplus Mellerud rabbit2: WILD RABBITS Colombian Pygmy rabbit Cottontail rabbit European rabbit Amami rabbit Sumatran striped rabbit Riverine rabbit Volcano rabbit and zacatuche Sumatran rabbit Riverine rabbits3: JACKRABBITS, HARES & PIKAS Lagomorphs – hares and pikas Currently, we recognize 80 living species of lagomorphs, placed in 2 families containing 13 genera. Native populations are found on all continents except Australia and Antarctica; they are absent from southern South America and most islands. Humans have introduced them, however, to many areas where they were originally not part of the fauna. Pikas – alpine pika, silver pika, collared pika, Gaoligong pika, Glover’s pika, Tsing- ling pika, Himilayan pika, Forrest’s pika, Ladak pika, large-eared pika, black pika, Muli pika, American pika, steppe pika, Afghan pika Hares – hispid hare, rockhares, African harsh-furred hares, snowshoe hare, arctic hare, Japanese hare, Corsican hare, European hare, Ethiopian hare, Granada hare, broom hare, Jackrabbits – black-tailed jackrabbit, white-sided jackrabbit, Tehuantepec hare, antelope hare, Cape hare, Yunnan hare, African savannah hare, Burmese hare, scrub hare, Chinese hare4: CHARACTERISTICS & BEHAVIOUR Many rabbits are very friendly, playful and sociable animals with a need to interact and play with others. They live in family groups in the wild and therefore similar behaviour in a domestic household is beneficial. When kept as pets they need frequent, regular exercise preferable outside where they can graze on grass in a garden area.5: RABBIT YOUNG Photographs of cute fluffy baby rabbits.
