I wanted a book that described the various animals that were supposed to be highlighted, instead it‘s a lot of philosophical stuff and I‘m not into that. I love random facts, but not belly gazing.

An interesting read, with funny asides between Volo and Elminster. Some really creepy illustrations; well done!

I‘m pretty sure that last sentence should say “the most INSULATED level of the pyramid” rather than “the most insulted” 🤣

This fantastic book has been published in the US this week, under the title Vanishing Treasures. The author is donating 💯 author royalties, in perpetuity, to climate change charities.
I highly recommend it and it makes for a beautiful gift. Go buy multiple copies. 😊

TEArificbooks This might be a good one for next year for #naturalitsy monthly book 5mo
AllDebooks @TEArificbooks it's on my list (along with half of your suggestions). I can bump it up the list now I know it's published in the States 😉 5mo
Lindy Great news! I have had it on my list of books to order through Blackwells, but now I can look for it in Canada. 😊 5mo

I've had this a little while on my wishlist, but had only seen the hardback and wanted the paperback, which I found today, and with the (admittedly-largely-unnecessary-due-to-lack-of-impulse-control) prompt of @AnneCecilie 's recent intriguing posts, I acquired it, along with these charming vinyl stickers, the cat one being for my niece, the other being for myself, though I'm not sure where to stick it (suggestions not required!).

bibliothecarivs I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one collecting vinyl stickers without knowing where they will be stuck. 9mo
AnneCecilie I‘m so happy to spread the greatness of this book 9mo
Bookwomble @bibliothecarivs Blimey! If I had to justify a reason for half the stuff I do, I'd probably do nothing at all! 😄 8mo

This book is amazing. Randell focuses on several animals that might be extinct if nothing changes. There‘s just so many fun facts and despite everything I posted, there‘s so much more interesting information as well.

Spider silk weighs almost nothing - a thread of silk long enough to loop the Earth would weigh less than five hundred grams - but is one of the strongest materials on the planet: five times stronger than a strand of steel of the same thickness. […] If we were to make a vast web of spider‘s silk as thick as a biro, it would halt a Boing 747 mid-air.

bthegood Thank you for sharing - I am enjoying all of these facts 🙂 9mo
AnneCecilie @bthegood You‘re welcome. There‘s so many fun facts about so many animals in this book that I want to publish every page. But I try to restrain myself 9mo

Coming across the bones of their dead, they will salute them, lightly touching the skulls and tusks with their trunks and vest, heavy feet. They have been known to bury dead members of their herd, covering them in earth and leaves.
