When a child walks down a city block, they might see a natural wasteland. A sea of gray with no signs of life. A solitary, sickly, over-pruned tree confined to a square of dirt penned in by concrete. However, what a child might not see are the precarious but sturdy squirrel nests above their heads at the tops of gnarled and crooked trees. The perches of raptors on the tallest buildings. Rookeries for pigeon chicks nestled on parking garage ceiling beams. The white drippings under a tree cavity that give away an owl tucked inside. Or the crevice in a rock wall leading to the cozy nook of a family of rodents. In fact, most cities are teeming with nature if you know where and how to look. City Safari will teach middle grade readers just that. It will equip children with the perfect tool for visualizing their cityÂ’s natural side—revealing a world of urban wildlife hidden in plain sight.Part natural history guide, part training manual, and part hands-on fieldwork guide, City Safari will take readers on a quest through the wilds of their city, leaving them with lifelong naturalist skills.

This book presents innovative examples of hidden architecture: buildings that are designed to disappear into their surroundings or hide in plain sight. In the city, hidden buildings are often designed to provide the occupants with privacy and protection from the busy world outside or they can be incorporated into the streetscape to free up space for public use. In the countryside, buildings should not spoil a scenic landscape, so they can be designed to become a part of it. Buildings can be buried underground, hidden amongst trees, covered with greenery or even sunk into the sea. They can be clad in mirrors to reflect their surroundings, disappear beneath an urban plaza or be hidden from view on top of another building. Each of these imaginative solutions offers a way for architecture to blend in rather than stand out. Hidden Architecture tells the stories of projects from around the world that are cleverly disguised but still beautifully detailed and outstanding in their execution.

Hell is the haunting first volume in Jeffrey Archer’s The Prison Diaries, the author’s daily record of the time he spent there.‘The sun is shining through the bars of my window on what must be a glorious summer day. I’ve been incarcerated in a cell five paces by three for twelve and a half hours, and will not be let out again until midday; eighteen and a half hours of solitary confinement. There is a child of seventeen in the cell below me who has been charged with shoplifting – his first offence, not even convicted – and he is being locked up for eighteen and a half hours, unable to speak to anyone. This is Great Britain in the twenty-first century, not Turkey, not Nigeria, not Kosovo, but Britain.’On Thursday 19 July 2001, after a perjury trial lasting seven weeks, Jeffrey Archer was sentenced to four years in jail. He was to spend the first twenty-two days and fourteen hours in HMP Belmarsh, a double A-Category high-security prison in South London, which houses some of Britain’s most violent criminals.
