The life of the Meerkats - from the highly successful TV series, and soon to be released major feature film MEERKAT MANOR is the true-life story of Flower, the heroine of the successful television series, and the dominant female of Whiskers group. Through words and superb photographs, the reader becomes closely involved in the life-or-death struggles, just like a soap opera, of this curiously attractive tribe. MEERKAT MANOR not only describes what meerkats do, but explains why they do it, providing important insights into the working of other animal societies, including humans. 'They look cute and their teamwork has led some to suggest they are ideal role models for humans, but ... if MEERKAT MANOR is billed as a soap opera, it is one scripted by Quentin Tarantino' Mail on Sunday.

Edited and with contributions by Owen King (We're All in This Together) and John McNally (America's Report Card this anthology enriches the superhero canon immeasurably. Twenty-two of today's most talented writers (and comics fans) unite in Who Can Save Us Now?, an anthology featuring brand-new superheroes equipped for the threats and challenges of the twenty-first century -- with a few supervillains thrown in for good measure. With mutations stranger than the X-Men and with even more baggage than the Hulk, this next generation of superheroes is a far cry from your run-of-the-mill caped crusader. From the image-conscious and not-very-mysterious masked meathead who swoops in and sweeps the tough girl reporter off her feet; to the Meerkat, who overcomes his species' cute and cuddly image to become the resident hero in a small Midwestern city; to the Silverfish, "the creepy superhero," who fights crime while maintaining the slipperiest of identities; to Manna Man, who manipulates the minds of televangelists to serve his own righteous mission, these protectors (and in some cases antagonizers) of the innocent and the virtuous will delight literary enthusiasts and comic fans alike. With stunning illustrations by artist Chris Burnham, Who Can Save Us Now? offers a vibrant, funny, and truly unusual array of characters and their stories.

"Great grub from the Meerkat Café is an interactive, family cookbook paired with hilarious and wildly educational facts about the creatures of southern Africa's Kalahari Desert. The book's simple recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and desserts with names like Dung Beetle Pancakes and Spaghetti with Grasshopper Heads have just enough "yuck factor" to greatly appeal to children, while parents will also be pleased that the recipes provide savory substitutions. Sliced Brown 'N Serve sausages can be substituted for sliced dung beetles. Frozen pease can be used instead of grasshopper heads. Families will have loads for fun preparing a "smorgas-bug" in their own kitchen burrow. The grub's on! In addition to feeding the stomach, feed the soul! Each recipe has a Food For Thought sidebar, which provides families with surprising, funny, and sometimes yucky information about the animals, birds, and insects of southern Africa's Kalahari Desert. The easy-to-understand recipes, with measurements in both standard and metric, were tested by a professional chef. A wise traditional African proverb reflects the theme of each recipe." -- page 4 of cover
