Remembering Bears Margot Raggett, Wildlife Photographers United Remembering Bears is the seventh book in the Remembering Wildlife fundraising series, which has so far raised more than USD $1.2 million for conservation, the organizers have chosen for the first time to leave Africa and to feature bears. There are eight species of bear: American black bears, Andean bears, Asiatic black bears, brown bears, giant pandas, polar bears, sloth bears and sun bears. Their habitats range from forests to woodland, grasslands to sea ice and their behaviors reflect that too. Remembering Bears features images from more than 80 of the world’s best wildlife photographers, showing bears in their natural habitats from China to Peru, Alaska to Borneo.

Maps that Made History 1000 Years of World History in 100 Old Maps Martijn Storms
If the termite were a human, its structures would be twice as high as Mount Etna in Sicily... Our world is full of wonders and they are all waiting to be discovered! Nature’s many different habitats are home to countless animal and plant species records – superlatives which at times we only become aware of when we compare them with human achievements. In the air, we follow the flight of the largest, fastest and most resilient birds, while in the seas, we encounter huge whales and fish – and it can all be recorded in numbers and statistics, yet the true achievements of the sea giants and why they don’t sink are easier to understand if we take a close look at the technical data for ships and submarines...
Maps that Made History is like a 1000-year-long journey around the world; every one of the carefully selected maps featured here has influenced the course of history in some way. This beautifully illustrated book gathers 100 marvelous old maps, each with a fascinating story to tell, from a 12th century Persian world atlas to a Soviet spy map. These maps were used to resolve conflicts, situate battles, construct a road or a canal, establish important shipping routes, even as propaganda tools. All the maps are reproduced in an oversized format, while accompanying text from an experienced team of historians explains the importance of each one.
