The tropical forest of Panama's Barro Colorado Island is a luxuriant community of plants and animals, pulsating with life and offering an astonishing view of nature's myriad processes. What does the forest look like? How do the activities of the forest's plants and animals create a community? In A Magic Web, photographer Christian Ziegler and evolutionary biologist Egbert Giles Leigh, Jr., invite readers to enter the marvelous world of Barro Colorado Island. This book is a unique combination of spectacular photography and clear, authoritative text written by an active scientist who has spent half a lifetime trying to understand the tropical forest. Luscious photographs of the forest reveal the wonderful diversity of its inhabitants and show many of the activities that give it its character and lend structure to its community. Drawing on decades of work on Barro Colorado Island, Egbert Leigh explains how the forest works: how plants and animals compete with but also depend on each other; how the solitary lives of cats contrast with the intricately organized lives of armies of ants; the variety of ways plants struggle for a place in the sun; and how these plants attract animals to pollenate their flowers. Finally, the book shows the importance of tropical forests to the people living near them, why they matter to the world at large, what we can learn from them, and how they differ from temperate-zone forests. Full of stunning full-color photographs accompanied by clear and accessible text, A Magic Web is a must for anyone planning to visit a tropical forest and for all those who wish they could.

A novel set in the Downs of southern England where a picturesque village, far from modernity, has declined into obscurity. The lives of several residents, some poor, some affluent, but all with aspirations, are portrayed. They have love and the dilemmas it poses, ambitions thwarted by poverty, and the psychological disturbance of self-repression. But they also have the determination to stumble onward in hope of fulfilling their dreams.The main characters are a young couple longing for marriage, one afflicted by a damaged childhood, her fiance of small resources unable to rent or buy; an affluent young couple finding that love has its travails and does not run smooth; a middle aged couple finding fulfilment in village activities centred on the church; another who resolve their own failings by solving the problems of others. But also a widower's obsession to seek revenge for the death of his wife and child.Numerous other characters include the village historian who plays a key role in safeguarding the village amenities, a young couple who benefit from his investigations, and the older residents who bring their wisdom to the resolution of turmoil and tribulation thereby also contributing to village renewal.The fundamental decency and good sense of the residents ensures the continuance of peace and harmony as if a veil of comfort and security had descended over the village.

Rebecca is a young girl about to celebrate her seventh birthday. One night, after seeing a shooting star, she makes a wish, hoping that magical fairies would attend her party. Quite surprisingly, one of them does; but when Rebecca’s mischievous and misbehaving friend Michael cruelly crushes a butterfly, it turns out to be the Supreme Fairy Queen Samantha. Suddenly Rebecca and Michael, along with their friends Fredericka and Zeb, are transported into a magical land where time stands still. There they have many adventures and enlist the help of some native bush animals to try and teach Michael a lesson about being so cruel to harmless creatures. Michael refuses to see the errors of his ways and is made to stand trial for inflicting such damage on the Fairy Queen, whose job it is to maintain balance in the universe. Eventually Michael meets the Wonambee, a strange and mystical snake who shows him the errors of his ways. Now that Michael has finally repented, the children must set out to somehow heal the Fairy Queen and find their way back to their own world.

The P-47 Thunderbolt, affectionately nicknamed the 'Jug', was one of the most famous fighter aircraft of World War II. Used as both a high-altitude escort fighter and a low-level fighter-bomber, it quickly gained a reputation for being tough and resilient. Many different air forces operated this plane, and it sported a wide range of camouflage schemes, finishes and markings, including stunning nose art. Modellers have been well served with Thunderbolt kits over the years, right up to the latest highly accurate releases. This book takes a step-by-step approach to modelling a wide variety of P-47 types in 1/48-scale, from 'Razorbacks' in USAAF colours to RAF T-bolts in the Far East. It provides expert advice on conversions (including a Bubbletop to a P-47M), adding aftermarket items, detailing, and ways to achieve top quality weathering and finishes.

Walking the streets of Moscow, indistinguishable from the rest of its population, are the Others. Possessors of supernatural powers and capable of entering the Twilight, a shadowy world that exists in parallel to our own, each owes allegiance either to the Dark or the Light. Night Watch Agent Anton Gorodetsky's holiday is abruptly shortened when an urgent call from Gesar - his boss and Night Watch head - forces him to return to work. Gesar has received an anonymous note, stating that an Other has revealed the full truth about their kind to a human, and intends to convert the human in an Other. The note has also been sent to the Day Watch, and to the Inquisition - but only the very highest-level Others know the addresses. So the Inquisition orders the cooperation of Night and Day Watch in an effort to unmask the culprit...

An exploration of the magic of plants, which exists far deeper than the green and nourishing existence we experience above ground. Through the lenses of animism, folk magic, herbal medicine, plant lore, land connections, and rituals aligned with tides of nature, The Green Arte explores the magic of plants. Hidden below, in dark and mysterious depths, are the roots of these beings, which connect to something primordial, raw, wild and complex; this is the mystery which Josh Williams explores in his second book. Within these pages, Josh introduces readers to the plant spirits, allowing us to work with them, in spiritual ways, to create magic and medicine. The Green Arte will act as a workbook, for the engaged reader - from herbalists and ritualists, to anyone wanting to deepen their relationship with the natural world - to grow their own work in the wonderful and magical bounty that nature and the plants have to offer.
