| Synopsis: |
Over thirty years ago Rolex created the biennial Awards for Enterprise to honour outstanding individual achievements in the realms of science and nature, invention and discovery, culture and heritage. Out of thousands of contenders, ten people are singled out for their dedicated and passionate contributions around the world. Past schemes have included a system to prevent collisions between whales and ships, a plan to protect the Amazonian rainforest, and the reintroduction of rare wild horses into Mongolia. Packed with photographs and accessible texts by an international team of journalists, this book commemorates the unique and life-enhancing projects of the most recent award-winners. |

The One and Only Ivan
Inspired by a true story, this is the beautifully written tale of how a mighty gorilla wins his freedom. A winning blend of humour and poignancy that will appeal to fans of Michael Morpurgo.

Religion for Atheists
Argues that the supernatural claims of religion are of course entirely false - and yet that religions still have important things to teach the secular world. This book proposes that we should look to religions for insights into how to build a sense of community, make our relationships last, overcome feelings of envy and inadequacy, and more.
