Over the past 20 years dramatic declines have taken place in UK insect populations. Eventually, such declines must have knock-on effects for other animals, especially high profile groups such as birds and mammals. This authoritative, yet accessible account details the current state of the wildlife in Britain and Ireland and offers an insight into the outlook for the future. Written by a team of the country's leading experts, it appraises the changes that have occurred in a wide range of wildlife species and their habitats and outlines urgent priorities for conservation. It includes chapters on each of the vertebrate and major invertebrate groups, with the insects covered in particular depth. Also considered are the factors that drive environmental change and the contribution at local and government level to national and international wildlife conservation. Essential reading for anyone who is interested in, and concerned about, UK wildlife.

Anna can see that her grand-niece Minnow's first summer on Birch Lake doesn't start out well. Minnow wonders why her mother has sent her to spend her vacation with her grandmother and her great aunt and uncle. Especially when her mother has never returned to the cabin since leaving it as a young woman. But the summer turns beautiful as Minnow comes to realize that the cabin is her home in the truest sense, and that the "geriatrics," her elderly relatives, are her closest friends. Minnow discovers three goals for the summer: to swim across the lake to Picnic Island, as her mother did every summer when she was a girl; to get Anna, who has been mute for decades, to speak; and, finally, to bring together her long estranged mother and grandmother. Elaine Medline's first novel, That Silent Summer is destined to become a cherished favourite. Friendships are forged in the magical setting, as even it has to adapt to time and change along with the characters. Through Anna's eyes, we trace the progress of Minnow from unhappiness to compassion, as we spend that poignant,lovely -- and sometimes silent -- summer on Birch Lake.

It is calamitous for mankind, when we live without compassion for one another. When the basket of sympathy leaks out the streams of unity. There is the rub. The cross of our disunity. need for borders and intolerance. AiyeKo-ooto, weaves 50 poems dipped in 5 movements in this emotive worded anthology. Every song, every bar, every note; rings for agape love and compassion. In tearful drops we strain, look over your shoulders, what we have lost, living the way we do. Sitting in the rain, we mourn, the departure of those we claim to love, but cared not for enough. Feeling thumping beats; we stumble, across the reality of togetherness and need for our human bonds. But there is no honor among thieves, then we are strangers here. We accuse, abuse and confuse, our destinations. We see only the good after the clock has rung midnight! Why asks Aiyeko-ooto in these ticklish poems- Why do we part rather than peer? Yet, nobody knows why I cry, for the troubles of another.
