Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - We seem, today, to be living the embodiment of the Chinese curse, 'May you live in interesting times.' We continually read of seemingly unstoppable and accelerating climate change, the continued concentration of wealth and power into fewer and fewer hands, a shift towards right-wing politics, a growing number of armed conflicts, and the rise of AI and robotics.Where will this lead us in 50 years In 500 years These are the themes of the science fiction book, Guardian, which, across 104,000 words, weaves together two stories: one from the near future of the late 21st century and the other from the 25th. In the post apocalypse 25th century, we follow the story of Nadya, a young woman who discovers a journal that raises disturbing questions about her society's supposed freedom from The Guardian, a dominating AI entity. Her island community believes they have escaped its control, but the journal suggests otherwise. In particular, she learns that the reproductive constraints she thought were natural are, in fact, recent and artificial. To unravel the mystery and ensure their continued freedom, Nadya must confront The Guardian.In the 21st century, we follow the journal entries of Harry as he and his family live through the final throes of a society long dominated by a few ultra-wealthy tech billionaires. As these billionaires seek ever greater control over the rest of humanity, and as the world grapples with increasing climate instability, the masses begin to fight back. How will humanity avoid total self destruction.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In 'Aldar, a Puffin's Tale', readers embark on a gripping journey through the life of Aldar, an Atlantic Puffin, as he navigates the challenges of the natural world and confronts the profound impact of human activities on his species.The tale of this one puffin is interspersed with a wealth of information on the natural history of puffins and their place in the world of seabirds. Together they make for an informative, emotional, tear-jerking, heartstopping read. Illustrated throughout with original artworks and the author's own stunning photographs the book is highly readable and will grace any library of animal natural history and fiction.To begin this animal adventure we eavesdrop on the daring leap of the fledgling Aldar from the cliffs of Flamborough. He leaps into the air with the waves crashing onto the jagged rocks below him but this is also a leap into the unknown, setting the stage for a life fraught with peril and resilience. As Aldar matures, he weathers the North Sea's fury, faces hunger and is hunted, trapped, battered by winter storms and more. He has his first encounter with the entity which he will revisit several times at critical moments in his life.Returning to his birthplace he will meet the love of his life only to face tragic loss and further trials.'Aldar, a Puffin's Tale' weaves fiction and factual information seamlessly, offering readers a unique and emotionally resonant exploration of puffin life and the pressing need for environmental conservation.Weaving through the story of Aldar the book contains details of the natural history of puffins. It begins with a detailed description of the birds, in both breeding and non breeding colours, along with their place in our culture and environment. Further chapters cover puffin flight, migrations of both juveniles and adults, courtship and breeding behaviour as well as nesting and chick rearing. Finally several chapters look at threats to puffins both natural and man made or induced. These include kleptoparasitism, predation, human hunting, pollution and, of course, climate change.This unique combination of fiction and natural history makes 'Aldar, a Puffin's Tale' a remarkable contribution to the lexicon of ornithological natural history.
