The more we learn about fungi, the less makes sense without them. Neither plant nor animal, they are found throughout the earth, the air and our bodies. They can be microscopic, yet also account for the largest organisms ever recorded. They enabled the first life on land, can survive unprotected in space and thrive amidst nuclear radiation. In fact, nearly all life relies in some way on fungi. These endlessly surprising organisms have no brain but can solve problems and manipulate animal behaviour with devastating precision. In giving us bread, alcohol and life-saving medicines, fungi have shaped human history, and their psychedelic properties have recently been shown to alleviate a number of mental illnesses.

මගේ පුතා ළදරුවියේදී හදා වඩා ගත්තේ මගේ අම්මාය. ටික කලක් ගොස් අම්මා ගෙදර ගිය පසුවද අම්මා බැලීමට යාමට පුතා දැක්වූයේ පුදුම ආසාවකි.අම්මා හදා දෙන කෑමට අපද ආසා කළ අප කෑමට වැඩියෙන් කැමති දේ උයා පිහා දීම අම්මාගේ සිරිත විය. බිරිදත් මාත් රැකියාවට යන අතර පුතා ළග රැදී සිට පෝෂණය කොට බලා හදාගැනීමට අපගේ ඉමහත් වාසනාවක් විය. මෙහෙකාරියන් දෙදෙනෙකු සිටියත්, අම්මාගේ ආදරය අවශය විය. අම්මා බොහෝ විට පුතා ඇමතුවේ මැණික කියාය. වයස අවුරුදු දෙකත් ඉක්ම වූ පසු මව බැලීමට මහ ගෙදර ගොස් දිනක් අප ආපසු යාමට වාහනයට ගොඩ වන විට අම්මා ඇමතු පුතා කීවේ. ” ආච්ච් දැන් ඔයාගේ මැණික යන්නයි හදන්නෙ” යනුවෙනි. අම්මා සතුටින් ඉපිල ගියාය.

Trees, Leaves, Flowers and Seeds
A unique and beautiful children’s guide to the extraordinary world of plants, from the smallest seeds to the tallest trees.
We couldn’t live without plants. We need them for food, shelter, even the air we breathe, yet we know surprisingly little about them. Why do thistles bristle with spines? How do some plants trap and eat insects? Did you know there are trees more than 5,000 years old? Trees, Leaves, Flowers & Seeds explores the mysterious world of plants to find the answers to these and many more questions.
Each type of plant – such as a flowering plant, a tree, a grass, or cactus – is examined close-up, with an example shown from all angles and even in cross-section. Then picture-packed galleries show the wonderful variety of plants on different themes, perhaps the habitat they grow in, a flower family, or the plants that supply us with our staple foods. But the book also takes a fun, more sideways look at some truly weird and wonderful plants, including trees with fruits like a giant’s fingers, orchids that look like monkey faces, seeds that spin like helicopters, and trees that drip poison.
So open this fascinating book and find out more about the amazing world of trees, leaves, flowers, and seeds.

Helm Field Guides Birds of Sri Lanka
From the title story’s fantastical inter-dimensional assassins to the steampunk dystopia of “Grey Rabbit, Crimson Mare, Coal Leopard” burrowing through the ruins of a civilisation destroyed by a plague, from Black Mirror-esque tales of blockchain cryptography (“Byzantine Empathy”) and Internet trolling (“Thoughts and Prayers”) to a three-story hard-SF arc about artificial intelligence and the singularity (“The Gods Will Not Be Chained”, “The Gods Will Not Be Slain” and “The Gods Have Not Died In Vain”), here are 17 interlinking visions that explore what it is to be human, and what it is like to abandon or transcend that. This collection confirms Ken Liu, author of the astonishing and multi-award winning The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories, as one of speculative fiction’s greatest short story writers.”With a rich avifauna of more than 350 species that includes 29 endemics, the island of Sri Lanka is one of southern Asia’s most popular birding destination.
This new field guide provides full coverage of every species on the Sri Lanka list, including most vagrants, with particular emphasis placed on endemic species and races. Detailed text highlights key identification criteria, along with accurate colour maps. Packed with spectacular and detailed plates by leading bird artists such as Alan Harris, Tim Worfolk and John Cox, Birds of Sri Lanka is the definitive identification tool for the visiting birdwatcher.”
