'Brilliant, Fantastic and Significant' - Dr George McGavinAnts are seemingly everywhere, and this familiarity has led to some contemptuous and less than helpful stereotypes. In this compelling insight into the natural and cultural history of ants, Richard Jones helps to unravel some of the myths and misunderstanding surrounding their remarkable behaviours. Ant aggregations in large (often mind-bogglingly huge) nests are a complex mix of genetics, chemistry, geography and higher social interaction. Their forage trails - usually to aphid colonies but occasionally into the larder - are maintained by a wondrous alchemy of molecular scents and markers. Their social colony structure confused natural philosophers of old and still taxes the modern biologist today. Beginning the book with a straightforward look at ant morphology, Jones then explores the ant species found in the British Isles and parts of nearby mainland Europe, their foraging, nesting, navigating and battle instincts, how ants interact with the landscape, their evolution, and their place in our understanding of how life on earth works. Alongside this, he explores the complex relationship between humans and ants, and how ants went from being the subject of fables and moral storytelling to become popular research tools. Drawing on up-to-date science and featuring striking colour photographs throughout, this book presents a convincing case for why ants are worth our greater recognition and respect.

A moving picture book about friendship and finding the courage to brave a dark and stormy night by an award-winning author-illustrator. James lives in a little wooden house beside the sea. Every day he rides his bike around the island, saying hello to all his animal friends; the otters in their mirror-bright pool, the birds in the trees, the bears in their shadow-dark cave and the rabbits in their warm burrow. Every day is perfect. Perfect, that is, until one night a fierce storm arrives. James braves the wild night to check that his friends are safe, only to find that they have disappeared! Where could they be? James might just find that his friends are closer to home than he thinks.

Amidst the gathering clouds of revolution, David, Bethan and their new companions discover an aged stone tapestry. Through careful study, a tale of evil and mass human sacrifice is slowly revealed. Suddenly, the future appears rather ominous and bereft of hope. Following an unlikely alliance, the storm clouds of revolution eventually break! Anger and ambition drive back the opposing forces of the State. But the act of revolution is little more than a cloak of deception which conceals a dark and insidious truth. And as the blood red clouds of revolution unleash their collective anger, the sinister hand of evil slowly plays its hand. Set within a dark and tortured landscape, the second of three books reveals the human failings of doubt, deception and fear.

In AD 43 an era of suffering drew to a close after the only remains of a dark and powerful force were laid to rest. Centuries have passed since anyone has even thought of these events, which the passage of years has consigned to ancient folklore. But there's something ominous in the air and David and Bethan have taken notice. In an age of political unrest, when the United Kingdom is divided between the capitalists and the activists, revolution seems to crouch behind every corner. And when David's nightmares give way to a series of real-life mysterious events, the couple soon realize that a much darker threat abounds - resurfacing in the form of an ancient artefact. Combining old-world prose with a compelling setting, the first of three books provides a chilling portrayal of anxiety and greed.

And then the dreams started. Dark dreams filled with false hope and hidden malice. And when the dreamers failed to awaken, the increasingly few survivors became fearful of the night. But sleep must come... And dreams shall commence... But not everyone was confused regarding the cause of the nightmare plague. David, Bethan and their enlightened friends believed they understood the truth. Time, though, was not on their side. They knew they must act quickly if they hoped to prevent the resurrected force of evil realising its long endured dark ambition. And when Bethan's nightmares commenced, David knew his quest had become very personal. Providing a haunting insight into human emotion and psychological trauma, this is the third and final instalment of the Black Hearts and Silhouettes trilogy.

AMERICA IN THE MIDDLE AGES: A STORY OF WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN - Cadoc moves through the greenwood, urging his charges forward with his staff, eager to reach the safety of the stockade and the warmth of the Great Hall before night falls. No-one wants to be abroad in the forest at night, not even the swordsmen will venture forth in the dark. He travels light, his only weapons a sling wrapped around his forearm and a dirk which hangs from the leather belet around his tunic. A hundred years have passed since Cadoc's father's grandfather, the Prince Madoc, sailed with the others, forsaking their homes in Wales to settle the land which Madoc and his brother had discovered across the vast expanse of the Great Ocean to the west. Madoc's "ten golden sails" left harbour in the year of Our Lord 1172 and were never seen again in the land of their birth. No-one knows what happened to them, nor of their fate in that vast and bountiful land which others, in later years, named as the continent of America. This is a story of what might have been ...

Observations On Medical Education: With A View To Legislative Interference is a book written by Richard Jones and originally published in 1839. The book provides a critical analysis of medical education in England during the 19th century, with a particular focus on the need for legislative intervention to improve the quality of medical training.Jones argues that medical education in England at the time was inadequate and insufficiently regulated, resulting in poorly trained doctors who were ill-equipped to provide effective healthcare to the population. He highlights the lack of standardization in medical education, with no consistent requirements for admission, curriculum, or examination across different institutions.The book also discusses the role of the government in regulating medical education, arguing that legislative intervention was necessary to ensure that medical schools met certain standards and that doctors were properly trained to provide high-quality healthcare. Jones proposes a number of specific reforms, including the establishment of a national medical council to oversee medical education and the introduction of standardized exams for medical graduates.Overall, Observations On Medical Education: With A View To Legislative Interference is a significant historical document that sheds light on the state of medical education in England during the 19th century and the debates surrounding the need for government regulation in this area.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
