Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "READY-OR-NOT-HERE-I-COME." The boy listens. The girl is getting closer. Suddenly, there's another sound. A droning buzz. Something else is looking for the boy. The seeker is a mosquito, Culex pipiens, and her search is a matter of life and death. She must find food—blood—to nourish the hundreds of tiny eggs inside her body. Black-and-white photographs show the children's game of hide-and-seek, while astonishing micrographs show Culex and her world as seen through an electron microscope. Zoom in for a close-up view: A blade of grass looks like a menacing field of spines. A mosquito's eye becomes a bundle of tightly packed tubes. Discover the life story of a mosquito from a truly larger-than-life point of view.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.

Book excerpt: **The instant New York Times bestseller.** *An international bestseller.* Finalist for the Lane Anderson Award Finalist for the RBC Taylor Award “Hugely impressive, a major work.”—NPR A pioneering and groundbreaking work of narrative nonfiction that offers a dramatic new perspective on the history of humankind, showing how through millennia, the mosquito has been the single most powerful force in determining humanity’s fate Why was gin and tonic the cocktail of choice for British colonists in India and Africa? What does Starbucks have to thank for its global domination? What has protected the lives of popes for millennia? Why did Scotland surrender its sovereignty to England? What was George Washington's secret weapon during the American Revolution? The answer to all these questions, and many more, is the mosquito. Across our planet since the dawn of humankind, this nefarious pest, roughly the size and weight of a grape seed, has been at the frontlines of history as the grim reaper, the harvester of human populations, and the ultimate agent of historical change. As the mosquito transformed the landscapes of civilization, humans were unwittingly required to respond to its piercing impact and universal projection of power. The mosquito has determined the fates of empires and nations, razed and crippled economies, and decided the outcome of pivotal wars, killing nearly half of humanity along the way. She (only females bite) has dispatched an estimated 52 billion people from a total of 108 billion throughout our relatively brief existence. As the greatest purveyor of extermination we have ever known, she has played a greater role in shaping our human story than any other living thing with which we share our global village. Imagine for a moment a world without deadly mosquitoes, or any mosquitoes, for that matter? Our history and the world we know, or think we know, would be completely unrecognizable. Driven by surprising insights and fast-paced storytelling, The Mosquito is the extraordinary untold story of the mosquito’s reign through human history and her indelible impact on our modern world order.

Book excerpt: "This Picture Book is one of my top picks that have kept my kids busy during the long days of quarantine" - Zibby Owens in The Washington Post (30th April, 2020) and Host of "Moms Don't Have Time to read books"The English edition (The Mosquito Bite That Changed Olu's Life) is hugely popular so we decided to translate it to other African languages including Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba.ABOUT THE BOOK:Olu is spoilt and obsessed with technology in most forms, from video games, to his iPad, to Television screens and to cap it all up he hails from an African tribe where boys are typically more "special" than girls so he always got away with more than his sisters. Being a son to privileged parents that own a technology company in the city made it worse as Olu did no chores and was very lazy. Take a journey with us into this book to find out what happened to Olu after he got a visit from a very common unwelcome "guest" in an African home; The Mosquito.INSPIRATION:Uchechi Mba-Uzoukwu's creative expressions in this children's book reflects a moral message parents are yearning to pass on to kids especially in "these times"; We all need a "Tech Detox" from time to time and what better way to pass on this information than in a very fun, humorous and colourful medium. E-BOOKIt may sound ironic that the book is available as an E-book but what is a better way to reach this critical audience that needs this information the most than through an E-Book? (This book is also available in paperback format). AFRICAN KIDS AND BONDING IN THIS AGE OF TECH ADDICTION:This kid African Book promotes bonding between siblings as well as between parents and children. Studies have shown that too much screen time affects the brain of growing children as well as raises the stress hormone cortisol in kids which leads to bigger health problems like anxiety, obesity and depression in kids. This Children's Picture book was inspired by the quest for not just kids but parents to put down their devices for a second and go outside for some fresh air and sunlight, sporting activities, explore the beautify earth we call home and discover new things. STYLE:This Children's Picture book is one of the latest kindle releases inspired by the same Nigerian / African culture that inspired the popular best-selling book the children of Blood and Bone. With beautiful, and sometimes humorous, colourful and catchy illustrations and kids donned in colourful African printed costumes, this is a book parents and grown-ups will love reading over and over to kids. This kid picture book is very easy to read with simple text and you can get through the entire book in a few minutes which is especially beneficial for busy parents. The Mosquito Bite That Saved Olu's Life has a moral and educative message that will endure for lifetimes and makes a great gift for any occasion, especially for baby showers, birthdays, and graduation. FINALLY:Hopefully one day soon with your help this book will be a New York Times best seller as well as an Amazon Best seller too.

Book excerpt: Now in paperback--a fascinating work of popular science from a world-renowned expert on mosquitoes and a prize-winning reporter. In this lively and comprehensive portrait of the mosquito, its role in history, and its threat to mankind, Spielman and D'Antonio take a mosquito's-eye view of nature and man. They show us how mosquitoes breed, live, mate, and die, and introduce us to their enemies, both natural and man-made. The authors present tragic and often grotesque examples of how the mosquito has insinuated itself into human history, from the malaria that devastated invaders of ancient Rome to the current widespread West Nile fever panic. Filled with little-known facts and remarkable anecdotes that bring this tiny being into larger focus, Mosquito offers fascinating, alarming, and convincing evidence that the sooner we get to know this pesky insect, the better off we'll be.
