AN ATHEIST'S HISTORY OF BELIEF
KNEALE, MATTHEW
What first prompted prehistoric man, sheltering in the shadows of deep caves, to call upon the realm of
the spirits? And why has belief thrived since, shaping millennia of civilizations, thousands of generations
of shamans, pharaohs, Aztec priests and Mayan rulers, Jews, Buddhists, Christians and Scientologists?
As our dreams and nightmares have changed over the millennia, so have our beliefs. The gods we
created have evolved and mutated with us through a narrative fraught with human sacrifice, political
upheaval and bloody wars. Belief was man’s most epic labour of invention. It has been our closest
companion, and has followed mankind across the continents and through history.

THE AUDUBON BIRDHOUSE BOOK
BARKER, MARGARET
Produced in association with the National Audubon Society, Audubon Birdhouse Book explains how to
build and place functional DIY bird homes that are safe and appropriate for more than 20 classic North
American species, from wrens to raptors. Each of the easy-to-build boxes and shelves within is
accompanied by cut lists, specially created line diagrams, and step-by-step photography, making the
projects accessible to those with even the most rudimentary woodworking skills. In addition, this practical
and beautifully presented guide is packed with color photography and information about the bird species
covered—including titmice, chickadees, nuthatches, phoebes, swallows, waterfowl, and even kestrels and
owls—to help the reader properly place and maintain the homes to attract birds. And because these
projects are the product of years of experience and field-testing, you can be sure you’re getting the best
advice regarding proper design, safe construction materials, and correct home placement to mitigate
exposure to elements, pests, and predators. Finally, beyond the birdhouses, you’ll find out how you can
contribute to the larger birding community and even enhance your birding experience with the aid of new
technologies.
