Owady mają nad ludźmi przewagę liczebną. Co więcej, gdyby nie r�żnica wielkości, nie mielibyśmy z nimi żadnych szans. Jednak niekt�rych powinniśmy się obawiać nawet pomimo ich niewielkich rozmiar�w! Istnieją owady, kt�re potrafią wyssać z człowieka krew do ostatniej kropli, takie, kt�re są w stanie uśmiercić całą rodzinę, a nawet pokonać armię. A to wszystko nic w por�wnaniu z tym, co robią innym insektom...O takich właśnie okropnościach opowiada Amy Stewart w swojej najnowszej książce Zbrodnie robali, kontynuacji bestsellerowych Zbrodni roślin. Stewart tworzy coś w rodzaju atlasu grozy, opisując w spos�b zajmujący i daleki od naukowego żargonu wszystkich najstraszliwszych przedstawicieli świata owad�w ? insekty, kt�re powodują b�l czy śmierć, i takie, kt�re po prostu przerażają. Jeśli kiedykolwiek dręczyły was lęki związane z owadami, po lekturze tej książki mogą wydać się one uzasadnione.

The feisty, fiery Kopp sisters are back in another unforgettable romp by HWA-longlisted international bestseller Amy Stewart. When deputy sheriff Constance Kopp notices how many young women are being jailed over dubious charges of waywardness, incorrigibility, and moral depravity, she smells a rat. But what can she do to fight the forces of sexism? And how will her principles fare when her own sister, Fleurette, starts misbehaving? Against the backdrop of the First World War, and drawn once again from the true story of the Kopp sisters, Miss Kopp's Midnight Confessionsis a spirited page-turner that will delight fans of historical fiction and light-hearted detective fiction alike.

For more than three decades, this best-selling guide to the practice of vermicomposting has taught people how to use worms to recycle food waste into nutrient-rich fertilizer for houseplants or gardens. Small-scale, self-contained worm bins can be kept indoors, in a basement, or even under the kitchen sink in an apartment — making vermicomposting a great option for city dwellers and anyone who doesn’t want or can’t have an outdoor compost pile. The fully revised 35th anniversary edition features the original’s same friendly tone, with up-to-date information on the entire process, from building or purchasing a bin (readily available at garden supply stores) to maintaining the worms and harvesting the finished compost.

Trailblazing Constance's hard-won job as deputy sheriff is on the line in Miss Kopp Just Won't Quit , the fourth installment of Amy Stewart's Kopp Sisters series.

In this darkly comical look at the sinister side of man's relationship with the natural world, Stewart tracks down more than 100 of the worst entomological foes--creatures that infest, infect, and generally wreak havoc on human affairs.
