Winner of the Whitley Award for Best Natural History Book 2022 A compelling, funny, first-hand account of Australia's wonderfully unique mammals and how our perceptions impact their future. Think of a platypus: they lay eggs (that hatch into so-called platypups), they produce milk without nipples and venom without fangs and they can detect electricity. Or a wombat: their teeth never stop growing, they poo cubes and they defend themselves with reinforced rears. Platypuses, possums, wombats, echidnas, devils, kangaroos, quolls, dibblers, dunnarts, kowaris: Australia has some truly astonishing mammals with incredible, unfamiliar features. But how does the world regard these creatures? And what does that mean for their conservation? In Platypus Matters, naturalist Jack Ashby shares his love for these often-misunderstood animals. Informed by his own experiences meeting living marsupials and egg-laying mammals on fieldwork in Tasmania and mainland Australia, as well as his work with thousands of zoological specimens collected for museums over the last 200-plus years, Ashby's tale not only explains the extraordinary lives of these animals, but the historical mysteries surrounding them and the myths that persist (especially about the platypus). He also reveals the toll these myths can take. Ashby makes it clear that calling these animals weird or primitive or incorrectly implying that Australia is an evolutionary backwater a perception that can be traced back to the country's colonial history has undermined conservation: Australia now has the worst mammal extinction rate of anywhere on Earth. Important, timely and written with humour and wisdom by a scientist and self-described platypus nerd, this celebration of Australian wildlife will open eyes and change minds about how we contemplate and interact with the natural world everywhere.

A photo book dedicated to the elegant residences of Salento, the southern area of Puglia that has become one of the most sought-after destinations internationally.Lower Salento, the so-called heel of Italy, is a verdant plain south of Lecce overlooking two seas, the Adriatic and the Ionian. The area is strongly characterized by its territory and its color palette: the greens of the Mediterranean scrub and olive groves, the red earth, the warm shades of limestone, the dazzling white of the walls painted in lime, the intense blue of the sea, and the light of the south that envelops everything.In recent years, Salento has been discovered by an international public that understands its uniqueness and has chosen it as an ideal place for a retreat. Rural houses and old buildings have been carefully restored and transformed into private homes of great beauty.This book selects some of the most elegant and original of these: farms and historic buildings that differ in terms of their age, style, and taste, but all of which are imbued with the Mediterranean charm of that preserved corner of Puglia.All the homes have been freshly photographed by Filippo Bamberghi, with views and decorative details of the houses and glimpses of the surrounding landscape.A text by journalist Patrizia Piccinini, based on interviews with the owners of the houses, recounts the history of the buildings, the genesis of the projects, and the bond between the owners and the territory.

SmallRig 4682 Mini Parabolic Softbox RA-D60 – pehme ja kontrollitud valgus COB videotulele SmallRig 4682 Mini Parabolic Softbox RA-D60 on 60 cm läbimõõduga paraboolse kujuga softbox, mis on loodud spetsiaalselt SmallRig RC 60 ja RC 100 seeria COB videovalguse jaoks. See kompaktne ja kergesti kaasaskantav softbox annab videoloojatele, portreefotograafidele ja sisulootjatele võimaluse muuta kõva COB-valgus pehmeks ja ühtlaseks studiovalguseks – nii stuudios kui ka välitingimustes. Miks valida SmallRig RA-D60 softbox? Kaasaegne videograafia ja portreefotograafia nõuavad mitmekülgset ja töökindlat valgustust. SmallRig RA-D60 softbox vastab sellele vajadusele tänu kolmele põhiomadusele. Kiirkinnitusmehhanism – kokkupanek sekunditega RA-D60 kasutab patenteeritud mehhanismi, mis võimaldab softboxi kokku panna ja lahti võtta ilma tööriistu kasutamata. See on eriti oluline välitingimustes töötavatele videograafidele ja sündmuste katvatel fotograafidel, kus iga sekund loeb. Ühtlane pehme valgus Softboxi difuusor on valmistatud Oxford-kangast, millele on lisatud kõrgjõudlusega peegeldusevastane kate. See kombinatsioon tagab: 45° mesilaskärjerest – täpne valguse suunamine Komplektis olev 45-kraadine kärg (ingl honeycomb grid) võimaldab kontrollida valguse hajumist. Kärg piirab valguse levikut külgedele, luues dramaatilisema ja sügavama mõju – ideaalne portree-, toote- ja intervjuuvõteteks, kus soovitakse vältida tausta ülevalgustamist. Kellele on SmallRig RA-D60 softbox mõeldud? Sihtrühm: Kuidas SmallRig RA-D60 softbox töötab? Softbox kinnitatakse otse SmallRig RC 60 või RC 100 COB videovalgusti ette. COB-tuli (Chip on Board) on intensiivse ja tugeva valgusallikaga, mistõttu on softbox oluline lisavarustus neile, kes soovivad pehmet, ühtlast stuudiovalgust. Hajutuskangas hajutab valguse pehme ja ühtlasena üle 60 cm pindala. Sisemine kangas pehmendab valgust esmasel tasandil, välimine kangas lisab täiendavat pehmusastet. Mõlemad kangad saab vastavalt soovile kasutada eraldi või koos – nii saab reguleerida valguse pehmusastet. Kärg piirab valguse hajumist külgedele ja suurendab valguse suunatavust, mis on eriti kasulik portreede ja tootepiltide tegemisel. Korduma kippuvad küsimused (KKK) Millisele valgusallikale SmallRig 4682 sobib? SmallRig 4682 RA-D60 on ette nähtud kasutamiseks ainult SmallRig RC 60 ja RC 100 COB videovalgusega. Teiste tootjate või mudelitega ühilduvust ei ole tootja poolt kinnitatud. Kas kärg on vajalik? Kärg on valikuline lisavarustus, mis tuleb komplektiga kaasa. Ilma kärejeta on valgus pehme ja laialivalguv – sobib üldiseks valgustuseks. Kärjega saad kontrollitud, suunatud pehme valguse – ideaalne portreede ja toodete jaoks. Kas seda tarvari saab kasutada välitingimustes? Jah. Kiirkinnitusmehhanism ja kaasasolev hoiukott muudavad RA-D60 sobiliku ka välitingimustes kasutamiseks. Oxford-kangas talub mõistlikku mehaanilist koormust. Kui suur on tarkvari läbimõõt sentimeetrites? SmallRig RA-D60 softboxi läbimõõt on 60 cm. See on kompaktne paraboolne softbox, mis sobib hästi väikestesse stuudioruumidesse ja liikuvasse kasutamisse.
