The approach of the millenium elicits all those responses in Stephen Jay Gould which make him today's finest spokesman for the joys of science. The rationalist in him is horrified yet fascinated by the tradition of "Apocalypse soon" prophecies...What is clear from this splendid book - crisp, clever and chirpy as ever - is that Stephen Jay Gould will go down as one of the real turns of the century.

Questioning the Millenium tackles our eternal fascination with round-numbered years from a whole range of historical, philosophical and scientific viewpoints...If you are going to buy one millennial stocking filler, but this one.

Gould not only enriches the texture of his writing with each successive phase...He would not be the great science writer that he is if he were not also a great humanist.

Gould's personal interest is as exuberant and authentic as ever, and one good reason for it is offered by an epilogue which both fascinates and touches, and is best left as a surprise.

Yet again Margrit finds the compassion and the heartfelt truth about animal communication in this wonderful book, touching the hearts of anyone with a love of animals. Margrit continues to inspire readers and create a better world for our animals - a truly wonderful book!

In decades to come, they'll look back on this book with incredulity. Just as we now do reading about the early telephone or internet. They will wonder what took us so long to get it! This stuff is intangible, immeasurable, and beyond most of our comprehension, but it's there! Margrit is chronicling reality; manifesting things we all recognise, but can't or won't believe. This book is essential reading for anyone who's ever truly loved an animal.

Follow the wisdom in "Angel Pets". Coates creates a sound path for us back to what we have known in our hearts all along.

Lively and combative ... dauntingly well-informed ... injects a welcome dose of common sense into an issue that has been absurdly lacking in it.

Piercing...convincing...timely.

[M]ore than rewards a respectful reading, not only for the author's impressive knowledge of the internet toolbox...but because of his ability to relate such technological gadgetry to the increasing challenges that are being posed to entrenched authoritarianism

Selected by the New York Times as one of the 100 Notable Books of 2011

The year's most unusual travel book

[An] eye-opening and hugely enjoyable book

Written in a delectable prose that scatters flashes of poetry over a sardonic undertow of social comment, Edgelands is a lyrical triumph. On Britain’s grotty margins, the duo trace “desire paths” to find beauty and mystery in the rough darkness on the edge of town
