Life in a Shell
Trundling along in essentially the same form for some 220 million years, turtles have seen dinosaurs come and go, mammals emerge, and humankind expand its dominion. Is it any wonder the persistent reptile bested the hare? In this engaging book physiologist Donald Jackson shares a lifetime of observation of this curious creature, allowing us a look under the shell of an animal at once so familiar and so strange.

Five friends stay in touch
"Five Friends Keep Talking" - what a groundbreaking title for this book, inspired by "The Five Friends" by Enid Blyton, whose stories the author devoured in his childhood. Now Erich Skopek himself embarks on a search for the lost art of togetherness and attempts to revive it. Because, in the author's opinion, genuine relationships with individuals have become rare. Either people have forgotten how to build such togetherness or they are afraid of the effort and expense involved in creating true community. The author is certain that this is why many people today suffer from loneliness and superficial relationships. A small group of friends now proves that it is worth living authentic friendship.
