Social Lives of Animals","description":"'Any writer who can evoke the existential sadness of a lonely cockroach, or make krill thrilling, or describe a snorkelling colleague being engulfed in a \"gargantuan cetacean bum detonation\" is a real gift to science communication ... thought-provoking' Guardian  Everything you ever wanted to know about how animals live together, and what that means for us  Some animal societies hold a mirror up to the human world: elephants hold funerals for departed family members. Pinyon jays run collective creches. Rats will go out of their way to help a cold, wet stranger. Other lifestyles can seem intensely alien. Take locusts, surging over the land in their millions, unable to slow down for a moment because the hungry ranks behind will literally bite their legs off if they don't stay one step ahead (actually, you might know a few people like that).   But no matter how offputting an animal might be, behavioural scientist Ashley Ward can usually find something worth celebrating. Travelling the world from the Serengeti to the frozen Antarctic ocean, with stops in the muddy fields and streams of his native northern Yorkshire, he brings his curious eye and infectious humour right down to their level. The result is a world-expanding, myth-busting tour of some of nature's greatest marvels, in delightfully broad-minded company.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49741448904977,"sku":"NGR9781788168854","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49766763462929,"sku":"GOR012792579","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52935634682129,"sku":"GOR013267855","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1788168852.jpg?v=1786104151"},{"product_id":"zany-brainy-animals-how-animals-defend-themselves-book-ashley-ward-9781526323392","title":"Zany Brainy Animals: How Animals Defend Themselves","description":"Explore the ingenious and funny behaviours found in the animal kingdom","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49742288716049,"sku":"NGR9781526323392","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1526323397.jpg?v=1786075935"},{"product_id":"zany-brainy-animals-how-animals-learn-book-ashley-ward-9781526323934","title":"Zany Brainy Animals: How Animals Learn","description":"Explore the ingenious and funny behaviours found in the animal kingdom","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49742295400721,"sku":"NGR9781526323934","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1526323931.jpg?v=1786093244"},{"product_id":"zany-brainy-animals-how-animals-adapt-book-ashley-ward-9781526323965","title":"Zany Brainy Animals: How Animals Adapt","description":"Explore the ingenious and funny behaviours found in the animal kingdom","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49777252761873,"sku":"NGR9781526323965","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1526323966.jpg?v=1750958675"},{"product_id":"zany-brainy-animals-how-animals-communicate-book-ashley-ward-9781526323972","title":"Zany Brainy Animals: How Animals Communicate","description":"Explore the ingenious and funny behaviours found in the animal kingdom","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49777253744913,"sku":"NGR9781526323972","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1526323974.jpg?v=1750894067"},{"product_id":"social-lives-of-animals-book-ashley-ward-9781541600836","title":"The Social Lives of Animals","description":"\u003cp\u003eA rat will go out of its way to help a stranger in need. Lions have adopted the calves of their prey.
