Book Description
The world is thrown into a frenzy when an experimental virus is accidentally released. Highly contagious, its victims suffer a fate worse than death. Bodies ravaged by fever, their numbers increase at a startling rate as they mindlessly roam the streets infecting all with whom they come into contact until their inevitable and swift deaths. Frankie, a businesswoman with a young family, and Henry, a bachelor well on his way to becoming a grumpy old man, find themselves caught in the fallout. Terror the new way of life, each struggle to survive as society crumbles around them. Hundreds of miles away from one another, they find themselves on a journey to Los Alamos, New Mexico with hopes of finding a cure that, unbeknownst to them, resides within their veins.

Book Description
LONGLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR WRITING ON CONSERVATION Investigating the ethical and practical challenges of one of the greatest threats to biodiversity: invasive species. Across the world, invasive species pose a danger to ecosystems. The UN Convention on Biological Diversity ranks them as a major threat to biodiversity on par with habitat loss, climate change and pollution. Tackling this isn't easy, and no one knows this better than Hugh Warwick, a conservationist who loathes the idea of killing, harming or even eating animals. Yet as an ecologist, he is acutely aware of the need, at times, to kill invasive species whose presence harms the wider environment. Hugh explores the complex history of species control, revealing the global movement of species and the impacts of their presence. Combining scientific theory with gentle humour in his signature style, he explains the issues conservationists face to control non-native animals and protect native species – including grey and red squirrels on Anglesey, ravens and tortoises in the Mojave Desert, cane toads in Australia and the smooth-billed ani on the Galapagos – and describes cases like Pablo Escobar's cocaine hippos and the Burmese python pet trade. Taking a balanced and open approach to this emotive subject, Hugh speaks to experts on all sides of the debate. How do we protect endangered native species? Which species do we prioritise? And how do we reckon with the ethics of killing anything in the name of conservation?

Book Description
Have you ever read a dystopian novel in which you wondered how the world as we know it collapsed? Well…this novel explains that. Most apocalypse stories begin sometime in the future, after the devastation has been wrought. Not this one. This one lets you watch the horror unfold. Vaccine: The Cull - Nae-Née Wasn't Enough continues the tale of Nae-Née with a study of U.N. Agenda 21's “green”, “eco-friendly”, and “sustainability” policies while a New World Order perpetrates a covert population cull via a vaccine with a secret ingredient: a nanite that destroys cancer tumor suppressor proteins. This is a resource war. After the U.N. population treaty implemented a policy of world-wide use of the birth control nanite, Nae-Née, human-caused stressors on the ecosystem literally heated up. No longer was our planet on the brink of collapse due to biodiversity loss, rising sea levels, floods, droughts, overdependence on fossil fuels, and the climate changes that drive all that. No – collapse was upon us at last. The measures taken to handle resource shortages right in everyone’s backyards are shown: a population cull hidden in a vaccine, and a militarized surveillance society to manage the overflow.

Book Description
S2Since the advent of the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1933, and especially since World War II, large areas of the eastern hardwood forests have been put under some degree of management. In most stands culls are a real problem. One of the first steps in a management program is to eliminate these worthless trees. Some stands are so cluttered with culls that complete removal of the overstory and regeneration of a new stand may be the best course of action. However, these are extreme cases: usually the treatment can be less drastic, so that a manageable stand is left after cull removal. But after the culls have been removed, and a management program has begun, new cull trees will in time develop. The question is: how much of a job will it be to keep such stands free of culls? A good indication of the size of this job is provided by records for a number of areas on the Fernow Experimental Forest near Parsons, West Virginia, where the development of cull has been studied in the course of experimental selection management practices used by the Northeastern Forest Experiment Station of the U.S. Forest Service.S3.

Have you ever been cut off in traffic? Or stepped in something that a dog owner has neglected to pick up? Or held a door open for someone, only to have them to breeze by you without so much as a nod of thanks? What if you could vaporise those responsible so that it was as if they had never existed? Human Cull imagines just that. People from all over the planet have sent in their cull suggestions for a little green alien to remove the really annoying people and leave the world a better place for the rest of us. Don't get mad - cull them!
