Jonathan and Angela Scott's Safari Guide to East African Animals is a great compilation of information and award winning photography.

Big Cat Diary is a television phenomenon. From its inception in 1996 it grew steadily in popularity, until it attracted audiences of up to seven million. In autumn 2008, in the BBC Natural History Unit’s most ambitious outside broadcast ever, it went live for the first time and recorded two million visitors to its website in the course of transmission.

Sets out to bring the experience and challenge back into the observation of wildlife. Scott, a past winner of the BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year award, invites readers to feel the tension and anticipation of watching, waiting and exploring Africa's vast and diverse landscape. Accompanied by a local expert, the author travels to six distinctive parts of by air over the Serengeti Plains of Tanzania; canoeing down the Zambezi; travelling from the penguins and seals of Namibia's cold coast to find desert rhinos in the semi-desert wilderness of the interior; going in search of chimpanzees in Tanzania's Gombe Reserve; discovering the wild dogs and big cats of the Okavango in Mombo, Botswana; and finally, following an elephant safari through the Okavango Swamp, Botswana's delta region.

A companion volume to the successful "Big Cat Diary" television series, which goes beyond the day-to-day footage and explores the bigger history, biology, behaviour, conservation and how lions survive outside the Masai Mara. As well as a detailed examination of biology and behaviour, the book provides an historical perspective of the big cat families featured in the series. The book also looks outside the Masai Mara Game Reserve, to the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and the Ngorongoro Crater, and Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa. Finally there is the question of how to conserve our big cat populations. There could be as few as 15,000 lions left in Africa. How can we ensure they can maintain breeding populations, space to hunt and sufficient prey to survive?

The second part of this intellectual biography delves deeper into the life and ideas of Algernon Sidney, an influential English republican. It explores his political philosophy, commitment to liberty, and the impact of his writings on the republican movement. Through detailed analysis, the book examines Sidney's contributions to the concepts of governance and individual rights, highlighting his significance in the context of 17th-century political thought. The narrative offers insights into his legacy and enduring influence on modern republicanism.

Weaving together the discovery stories of explorers such as Cook, Shackleton, Scott, and Amundsen, with the ecological stories of whaling and sealing, fishing and climate change, man's impact on this magnificent continent is revealed. For such an austere, frozen, and inhospitable environment, Antarctica is in fact a surprisingly fragile Eden.

Forty years ago, a group of scientists, artists and writers gathered in a house in Ithaca, New York to work on the most important compilation ever conceived. It wasn't from one person to another, it was from Earth to the Cosmos. In 1977 NASA sent Voyager 1 and 2 on a Grand Tour of the outer planets. During the design phase of the Voyager mission, it was realised that this pair of plucky probes would eventually leave our solar system to drift forever in the unimaginable void of interstellar space. With this gloomy-sounding outcome in mind, NASA decided to do something optimistic. They commissioned astronomer Carl Sagan to create a message to be fixed to the side of Voyager 1 and 2--a plaque, a calling card, a handshake to any passing alien that might one day chance upon them. The result was the Voyager Golden Record, a genre-hopping multi-media metal LP. A 90-minute playlist of music from across the globe, a sound essay of life on Earth, spoken greetings in multiple languages and more than 100 photographs and diagrams, all painstakingly chosen by Sagan and his team to create an aliens' guide to Earthlings. The record included music by J.S. Bach and Chuck Berry, a message of peace from US president Jimmy Carter, facts, figures and dimensions, all encased in a golden box.
