An exploration of intelligence in whales, dolphins & porpoises
DEEP THINKERS
Editor JANET MANN
We know whales, dolphins, and porpoises are the smartest creatures in the ocean, we read of their tool use, their self-recognition, their complex songs, and their intricate societies—but how do we know what we know? Deep Thinkers brings together the top researchers in the field to examine cetacean brains, compare the intelligence markers of cetaceans with those of birds, bats, and primates, and ask how we define intelligence in non-humans. A comprehensive exploration, setting the benchmark for future titles.

photographs of even the most elusive species
Appearing in everything from ancient myths and superstitions to modern children’s stories, these beautiful birds are seen as harbingers of good and bad news, and icons of fear and wisdom. Yet uncovering the reality of their lives is a huge challenge, as most are nocturnal and many are extremely secretive in their habits. New species are still being discovered, and fresh insights being gained into even the most familiar species. Owls brings together full descriptions and distribution maps for all 221 known owl species, and is illustrated with stunning color photographs. Marianne Taylor is a freelance writer, illustrator,
photographer, and editor. She worked for seven years in natural history publishing, and her particular interest in owls was sparked by a period in 2005 working with bird ringers studying Ural, Tengmalm’s, and Eagle Owls in the forests of Sweden.

There are over 20,000 species on the global IUCN Red List, nearly 5,500 of which are mammals. Because the rate of extinctions is far outstripping those species that are successfully conserved, we will not save them all. So which should we save? New genetic analysis offers a scientific solution to the problem: by focusing on the most evolutionarily unique and ancient species we can save more branches of the tree of life.

What Shape is a Snowflake? shows how life on Earth forms the principles of mathematics. Starting with the simplest patterns, each chapter looks at a different kind of patterning system and the mathematics that underlies it. In doing so the book also uncovers some universal patterns, both in nature and man-made, from the basic geometry of ancient Greece to the visually startling fractals that we are familiar with today. Elegantly illustrated, What Shape is a Snowflake? is an illuminating and engaging vision of how the apparently cold laws of mathematics find expression in the beauty of nature.

Over 2,000 years of settlement give London its unique architectural heritage. Private enterprise shaped it and defined its parts: elegant West End squares may hallmark the classical townscape, but medieval, Tudor, and Victorian enclaves identified by occupation or class make their own statement, notably in the City and East End. How to Read London reveals how London’s domestic, civic, and commercial landscape has evolved and adapted from imperial capital to global city. Peter Wainwright teaches in the Department of
Architecture & Spatial Design at London Metropolitan University. He trained as an architect at The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London, and has worked in practices in London and Los Angeles.

How to Read Paris A crash course in Parisian architecture
The world’s most-visited city is also one of its most architecturally stimulating. For centuries, architects, designers, and artists have been drawn to Paris, and it retains many gems that reveal its multi-faceted past, from Roman and Baroque to Post-Modern and contemporary. From the neo-classical colonnades of the Panthéon to the glass futurism of La Défense, this is the guide to the treasures of Paris that every visitor will want as a travel companion to the city of lights. ✤ Presents a picture-led
resource for the general visitor, architectural historian, or culture lover ✤ An in-depth look at the main
styles that have combined to produce one of the world’s most famous cityscapes
Chris Rogers writes on architecture and visual culture,
informed by 20 years of research and conversations with practitioners. He creates and leads architectural tours, often working closely with architects, and his knowledge of Paris has been enhanced by over a dozen years of tramping the trottoirs, creating an impressive photographic record of every aspect of the city.

Community Composting The compost heap in a garden is like the hearth in a home; it is the slow-burning, energy- and life-giving workhorse in the corner. The day that you tip the dark, rich compost on to your growing beds feels like a ceremonial event, and the plants love it. A well-kept compost heap offers a natural alternative to adding chemicals to your plot, and can divert around 60 per cent of household waste away from landfill, too. Composting introduces beneficial organisms to the garden that help to ward off plant diseases. It supports wildlife: newts and slow worms use the heap as shelter; worms and fungi congregate there to eat the rotting vegetable matter; and slugs and snails make their homes there. And these in turn attract other insect predators and birds.
Compost science The rules of composting are straightforward, but they need to be observed carefully to get the best out of your compost heap. Make sure everyone knows the ground rules— check out the box over the page for a simple list of dos and don'ts—then assign one or two dedicated compost keepers to make sure that they're followed. Some community gardens keep a small heap where everyone leaves their composting material (this is especially important if you're inviting contributions from the community), but appoint just one person to put it onto the larger, main heap, so ensuring that the balance is maintained and any not-so-good proposed additions are kept out. Nearly every group will have one or two members who are passionate about compost, and who see it as a science, so use their strengths to turn your compost into the black gold that will make your garden bloom.

Maybe there was someone knitting with us in mind in the weeks before we were born. Outgrowing baby garments, we became conscious of clothes and, at some point, recognized the action of knitting. It is hard to remember when I first understood that knitted things could be made by people I knew. As my dexterity developed, I learned how to knit, discovering how stitches work.
C
ollecting skills from books and knitters around me continues to spark ideas of what I could make. Together, knitting and the meditative space it offers, have provided me with a lifelong structure for learning. Like life, knitting has its ups, downs, easy and difficult bits. Much like mood swings, and other uncontrollable feelings, craft processes are inconvenient and unpredictable. Things can change quickly. Craft demands frequent practice, and constantly asks us to relish a challenge, much in the same vein as meditation. Sometimes we can relax with repetitive work, and other times knitting demands serious concentration. We can sit quietly knitting mindfully on our own, or use our knitting presence to offer trusted companionship. We can knit things for ourselves, our loved ones, or for the world around us. Sometimes when my knitting is turning out well, I consider the afterlife, where my knitting continues its journey on Earth without me.

Investigating the history of knitting, I learned that I am one student, of a new generation, keeping skills alive and working with the intention of making the world a better place. Textile archives the world over show us designs and social histories, but for the most part, the legacy of a domestic knitter is rarely documented. Many knitters before me did not sign their work, nor did much of it survive, because it was loved, used, and worn until it was dust. The gift a knitter leaves behind is, of course, one of skilled, beautiful textiles, which will hopefully be mended and kept safe, but alongside our material product we leave a subtle, un-quantifiable atmosphere, dedi-
WHEREVER DESIGN LIKES
On the most basic level, knitting proves that we can make things happen. If something is beautiful and functional, it holds truth. Making a truthful object with your own bare hands disproves any lack of belief in your abilities. A knitter starts with a dream, and turns it into a reality. Making things is exciting enough for a craftsperson, but for a noncraftsperson, the process looks like pure magic. Enjoy noticing people’s astonishment at your masterpieces, as you remember all you have learned through the making of them. Quietly give thanks for the bond you have with your textile and consider the real magic of consciousness.

Bonding Games / Swap
SWAP Giving up a valued object can be a big deal for a dog. Teaching ‘Swap’ shows your pet that if he gives something up to you willingly, even something he values, he’ll get something just as good back in exchange. What’s more, as you practice, you’ll end up giving him back the original object as well. Soon he’ll be handing over his toy, bone, or whatever you ask for, and eagerly taking the substitute you’re offering, confident that you won’t be depriving him. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? Show your pet that he won’t regret giving something up to you when he’s asked.
it out of his mouth, or he’ll be less likely to give it to you next time. Stay patient, and return the first toy as soon as your dog is focused on the treat toy (you can wait a few more seconds before returning it as your dog learns to trust that he will get it back). 5 It may take a few weeks of regular practice, but you’ll find that, as your dog becomes used to giving things up to you, you can reduce the ‘value’ of what you’re offering in exchange. Eventually, he’ll happily give something up to you as soon as you say ‘Swap’.
1 This is an opportunistic exercise: you
need to be ready for the right situation to happen naturally. Wait until your pet is relaxed and happily playing with a favorite toy. Have a hollow treat toy stuffed with something irresistible ready, and, when you see your opportunity, fetch it from the fridge. 2 Simply approach your dog in a relaxed way, bend or kneel down beside him and show him the stuffed treat toy. If he immediately drops whatever he’s playing with, say ‘Swap’, hand him the substitute and gently pick up the original toy. 3 Sometimes he’ll grab for the original toy, dropping the new one. If he does, give it to him immediately (you want to teach him that he won’t lose out in any way by working with you). If he loses interest in the original toy, lay it down gently nearby, so that he can see that he ended up with both the things he wanted. 4 Practice this whenever the chance arises (it’s a good idea to have a pre-stuffed treat toy ready in the fridge at all times when you’re teaching your pet this exercise). Always wait until your dog gives up the initial toy willingly—don’t cheat by pulling
WHAT HE LEARNS To give things up to you easily, and to trust that you’ll treat him respectfully around the things he values. WHY IT’S USEFUL On the rare occasion that your dog has something he shouldn’t (he’s chewing a shoe, perhaps, or he’s found a chicken bone in the street) and you need him to give it up to you without a battle, you’ll have already done the groundwork.
HANDS OFF! Dog society is interesting in the way in which it views possession of objects: it’s unusual to see a dog, even a larger and stronger dog, take a coveted item (whether it be a toy or a bone) away from another who has it. If the second dog leaves the treasure, even for a moment, all bets are off: the first dog will feel free to take it. But taking something by force that another dog is enjoying doesn’t often happen in everyday canine etiquette.
