Katter Med Klös
Kattdjur av olika slag har fascinerat människan i alla tider. De är små, stora, mysiga, läskiga, charmiga och farliga. Vi introduceras till de olika kattarterna som finns på jorden och vad de har för likheter och skillnader. Vilka är snabbast, störst, minst osv. Sandkatten har specialtassar så att den inte ska sjunka ner i sanden. Ökenlo var populära hos indiska härskare som tränade dem i tävlingar i att fånga duvor. Katter finns ofta med i mytologiska berättelser och var ett favoritdjur hos egyptierna. På medeltiden förknippades katter med häxor. Precis som föregångaren Bil en fena på hajar tar boken också upp vad man kan göra för att hjälpa de vilda katterna från att utrotas.
Tjattra Som En Apa
Efter att vi lärt oss allt om hajar och kattdjur så kommer nu en lika vacker och spännande bok om apor. Det finns över 250 sorters apor på jorden. I den här boken beskrivs flera apor, från den minsta dvärgsilkesapan till den största mandrillen. Vi får lära oss hur de bor, vad de äter och vilken apa som är den smartaste. Precis som i de tidigare böckerna får vi lära oss lite mytologi men också hur vi ska tänka och göra för att aporna ska fortsätta leva som de gör.

Boken presenterar stora och små hajar, vanliga och ovanliga, hur de lever, vad och hur de äter och om de har några fiender. Hajar fanns faktiskt långt före dinosaurierna och har alltså överlevt det mesta. Ett fascinerande avsnitt är när en människas storlek jämförs med olika hajarter.Författaren diskuterar också hur hajens framtid ser ut och vad vi kan göra för att hjälpa hajarna.

Richard Owen
Brilliant, hard-working, immensely productive and influential, the naturalist Richard Owen was a great promoter of science, and played a large role in shaping London’s Natural History Museum. An often difficult and arrogant individual, he was accused of plagiarism and bullying, and is the only man whom Charles Darwin claimed to hate. Although strongly opposed to Darwin and Thomas Huxley’s theories of evolution through natural selection, there is evidence that a few of Owen’s ideas were not so very distant from theirs. This biography gives an account of Owen’s life and work, providing possible psychological and social reasons for his more controversial characteristics and his sometimes rather strained relations with various scientific contemporaries.
