As always, Thor Hanson delivers. People here you are reading about seeds and think, boring.
Think again…medical mysteries, real life spies killing each other with u Breslau, stealth bombers… all this and more is covered in this fascinating book

Quite a good survey of feather related facts . There is biology, fashion, art ,history and more. Suggest keeping an iPad handy to look at pics and videos of the mentioned bird as it has minimal pictures

Very interesting. An introduction to various bee species and their lifestyles
He says no honeybees, but they are mentioned here and there throughout.
After getting people interested in bees, author draws your attention to their plight, but kindly leaves you feeling you might be able to do something about it

Explores the impact that climate change is already having in some species. Ranges are changing, dietary shifts are being made, evolution is “trying “to find solutions. Of course, extinction rears its ugly head…but this is a fascinating look at how the natural world is responding , even as we drag our feet
