BUGS BRITANNICA
by PETER MARREN & RICHARD MABEY
Creepy-crawlies: spiders, worms and Boring Sponges. In lakes, on mountains and in beds, bugs surround us - as Peter Marren and Richard Mabey reveal all too clearly in this illustrated compendium, the third after Flora Britannica and Birds Britannica. Bugs is a cultural and historical tour through the eyes of writers, musicians and artists. From Tudor naturalist Thomas Muffet (father of the little girl on the tuffet) to Irvine Welsh's talking tapeworm we come face-to-face with nimble-dicks, clock ladies and coffin-cutters. (Not for the faint-hearted!)

THE PRIDE: A FAMILY OF KILLERS FIGHTING TO SURVIVE
by MICHAEL BRIGHT
A gripping adventure, this is an epic tale of two brother lions, Mibli and Tatu, in the East African Savannah. From birth and being stalked by leopards, to tasting their first meat, buffalo stampedes, fighting hyenas, trekking across plains with wildebeests and zebra and crossing crocodile-infested rivers. Combining documentary, fiction and photography, Michael Bright evokes the majesty of these powerful, intelligent animals as they grow to become leaders with responsibility for their own pride.
