This Second Edition of Plankton is a fully updated introduction to the biology, ecology and identification of plankton and their use in monitoring water quality. It includes expanded, illustrated descriptions of all major groups of freshwater, coastal and marine phytoplankton and zooplankton and a new chapter on teaching science using plankton. Best practice methods for plankton sampling and monitoring programs are presented using case studies, along with explanations of how to analyse and interpret sampling data. Healthy waterways and oceans are essential for our increasingly urbanised world. Yet monitoring water quality in aquatic environments is a challenge, as it varies from hour to hour due to stormwater and currents. Being at the base of the aquatic food web and present in huge numbers, plankton are strongly influenced by changes in environment and provide an indication of water quality integrated over days and weeks. Plankton are the aquatic version of a canary in a coal mine. They are also vital for our existence, providing not only food for fish, seabirds, seals and sharks, but producing oxygen, cycling nutrients, processing pollutants, and removing carbon dioxide from our atmosphere. This new edition: <ul>
<li>contains a new chapter on Plankton in the Classroom</li> <li>has greatly expanded coverage of coastal and marine phytoplankton</li> <li>explains the role of plankton in aquatic ecosystems and its usefulness as a water quality indicator</li> <li>updates and details best practice in methodology for plankton sampling and monitoring programs</li> <li>brings together widely-scattered information on freshwater and coastal phytoplankton and zooplankton and provides a list of up-to-date references.</li>
</ul>
 Plankton is an invaluable reference for teachers and students, environmental managers, ecologists, estuary and catchment management committees, and coastal engineers.

On the Edge of Empire: The Taos Hacienda of Los Martinez

Pulitzer Prize-nominee David J Weber, whose "The Spanish Frontier in North America" marked a new era of scholarship about Spain in North America, narrows his focus here to the period 1804-1827 in Taos, New Mexico, and the life of a Spanish Colonial manor house. The Martinez Hacienda, whose twenty-one rooms have been fully restored by the Kit Carson Historic Museums, stands today as the finest remaining example of a great house of the late Spanish Colonial/Mexican periods. Protected by the walls of this fortified hacienda, we are given to understand in broad outline this extraordinary place in time and the stunning political, economic, cultural, and social changes that the patriarch Severino Martinez and his family experienced there. In the hands of the masterfully well-storied historian, this house and its inhabitants come vividly to life.

The special relationship between the heavens above and the earth below has always fascinated mankind since the beginning of time. The Zodiac especially has inspired writers, artists and philosophers for countless centuries. Similarly with healing, the herbs of the Earth have always provided safe and effective treatments for all that has afflicted Mankind. Through this book the presents the 12 beautiful ‘Healing Herbs of the Zodiac’ individuals can discover their own special connection between the herbs of the Earth that can sustain them and the Zodiac above that can provide a portal to the greater mysteries of existence. The 'Healing Herbs of the Zodiac' was originally written and illustrated by artist Anthony Richardson 4 decades ago. Inspired by the miraculous cure that the late, great herbalist/astrologer, Samuel H. Weir, brought about for his mother, Richardson asked Samuel Weir to teach him the foundations of herbs and astrology. As part of his learning Richardson discovered the specific healing herbs that were closest in their nature to the 12 Signs of the Zodiac. Inspired by this, Richardson created 12 beautiful pen &amp; ink designs that he called the ‘Healing Herbs of the Zodiac’. These designs were published as a limited edition set of greetings cards &amp; hand-colored prints, which were extremely successful at the time. However, with the eventual passing of his wise mentor, Richardson withdrew the artwork from the world, with the result that the designs collected dust on his studio shelf for some significant amount of time. Now, through the convenience of the digital age some 40 years later, the 'Healing Herbs of the Zodiac' designs have been released again. Through this unique book individuals can read the wisdom and enjoy the beauty of all 12 designs. In making the designs available once more it is hoped that each of the 12 'Healing Herbs of the Zodiac' text and images will provide viewers with that special connection to a wider existence – above and below - that Richardson discovered all those decades before.

The amazing true story of a Czech airman and his Alsatian puppy who braved the dangers of World War Two together.\n“a delightful story” The New York Times\nPerfect for readers of Will Chesney, Damien Lewis and Robert Weintraub.\nOn February 12, 1940, Jan Bozdech and his fellow crew were shot down above no-man’s-land between the Maginot and Siegfried defence lines in northern France.\nThey made their way to a deserted farmhouse and it was here that Jan first met a four-month old orphaned puppy who would stay by his side for the rest of the war.\nIn their journey across Europe, Jan and his dog, named Antis, would never waver in their mutual loyalty and devotion. After the fall of France they would flee to Britain and join the RAF, flying numerous bombing missions over occupied Europe and Nazi Germany while evading enemy flak and fighter planes.\nFor Antis’ services during the conflict he received the Dickin Medal, commonly known as the animal VC, from the People's Dispensary for Sick Animals for bravery during the Second World War.\nOne Man and His Dog is the remarkable story of Jan and Antis’ dramatic adventures amid the perils of war. It is without doubt one of the greatest dog stories of all time.\n“stirring war-time story” The Sphere\n“A straight story … The puppy acquires legendary status as he travels with the man through fighting missions during the war and through post war dangers to a life of safety in England.” Kirkus Reviews

The eye-opening account of the forgotten and tumultuous Eastern Front in World War Two.\nPerfect for fans of first-person memoirs from the Second World War.\nBy 1944 Byelorussia had been brutally occupied by Nazi Germany for three years, but now the Red Army were coming. The nation was torn apart as violence erupted between the ruthless Communist partisans and the equally menacing Nazi forces.\nSixteen year old Sasha Nioman’s brother was carried off and forced to join the local partisans, leaving his family at the mercy of Nazi reprisals. To stop this from occurring Sasha was given little option but to join the German Army with the 34th Battalion Field Police — a force of anti-partisan legionaries of mixed nationalities commanded by Wehrmacht officers.\nNo Place To Lay My Head charts Sasha’s terrifying ordeal through the Second World War as he was forced to fight for an occupying force he hated. This book provides an eyewitness account into the brutal atrocities committed by both Nazi and Soviet forces on the Eastern Front, including the massacre of six hundred defenceless men by the Russian army, of which Sasha was one of only a handful of survivors.\nThis was not the end of Sasha’s war, however. He was sent to the Western Front to stem the Allied advance but his officer’s fled in the face of the American onslaught and he gave himself up. It was only now that he was able to fight against the Nazis, initially joining the Free Polish Army before serving in Italy as a member of the British Forces.\nAnthony Richardson charts Sasha’s unique journey through the Second World War in exquisite detail. After the war Sasha moved to Britain and through a number of interviews he gave his remarkable story to the author. It should be essential reading for anyone interested in an eyewitness account into a much-overlooked front of this brutal war.\n‘It has the stamp of authenticity and is a most valuable and timely addition to the literature on guerrilla war.’ Otto Heilbrunn
