As a Christian, how deeply have you studied your lifestyle? Have you ever questioned the impact you have on those with whom you are acquainted? Have you ever wondered if there are areas of your life from which you have excluded God? So many of us believe we live a Christlike lifestyle, yet we've never truly examined our lives in detail to see if that assessment is valid. Are there behaviors we exhibit that, while not particularly being evil or sinful, do not portray Christ? Paul, in 1st Corinthians, exposes those easily ignored areas of our lives and shares the behaviors that should exist, as well as the impact they have upon those around us. Yes, people do notice the details! In this book you will see that Christ wants to guide us 24/7. Discover some areas we may not have considered and maybe some we havechosen to exclude from our self-assessment.

Packed with sumptuous photography, this is one of the first titles in the new and lavish 'Deluxe' natural history series from Reed New Holland. The images celebrate the beauty and marvellous design of some of our most misunderstood animals, the reptiles. They share a magnificence and elegance that we are now beginning to really appreciate. They are, in the true sense of the word, awesome! The images have stories to tell. A gecko with padded toes dashes across vertical glass, seeming to mock the laws of gravity as it moves effortlessly over that smooth surface. In just a fraction of a second a chameleon unleashes its tongue, a high- velocity projectile, with the accuracy of a marksman to snatch an insect from a twig a body's length away. In a powerful test of strength and endurance, two great Komodo Dragons, the largest living lizards, rise on their hind limbs and try to topple each other in a meeting of muscles and scaly hides. Stunning shots of snakes, lizards, crocodiles and turtles from around the world are brought together via a foreword from expert herpetologist Steve Wilson, who explains why reptiles are such an ongoing success story, having been around for 200 million years and with 12,000 extant species adapted to habitats as varied as arctic tundra, deserts, rainforests and open oceans. All in all 'Reptiles' is a glorious memento of a fascinating subject, brought together in a luxurious book that celebrates the many astonishing reptile species from all around the planet, making it ideal for nature lovers, as a gift, or as an interior design feature in any home.

This book is a celebration of lizard-hood. It salutes a diversity of form and function unparalleled among terrestrial vertebrates, from apex predators capable of swallowing goats to limbless subterranean insectivores. In equal measure they thrive in a tropical paradise, a waterless terrain so bleak one wonders how anything survives, and the human domain, including domestic gardens and the ruins of past civilizations The book ventures into how lizards exploit those disparate places, and author and photographer Steve Wilson's attempts to document them around the world. This book is born from journeys of discovery by the author. Quests for lizards and other reptiles have taken him to some of the world's extraordinary biodiversity hot-spots in Borneo, Madagascar, Costa Rica and the Galapagos Islands. He has also crisscrossed his native Australia many times, searching for lizards in deserts, rainforests and even peoples' back yards. From mighty Komodo Dragons in Indonesia to tiny anoles in the Americas, every lizard has a tale to tell, making this a must-read title for anyone who is passionate about reptiles or about wildlife in general.

Questions lie at the heart of Steve Wilson's latest collection, Complicity. In poems that wander confidently across a wide range of subjects, places and voices, Wilson works at making sense through musicality, within the movement of lines, upon the interplay of empty space and evocative images, against the pressures of isolation. The effect of Complicity is that we are watching a world being made.
