‘A truly excellent account’ British Wildlife Beetles are arguably the most diverse organisms in the world with nearly half a million beetle species described & catalogued in our museums more than any other type of living thing This astonishing species diversity is matched by a similar diversity in shape form size life history ecology physiology & behaviour Beetles occur everywhere & do everything & yet they form a clearly discrete insect group typically characterised by their attractively compact form with flight wings folded neatly under smooth hard wing-cases Almost anyone could recognise a beetle indeed many are intimately associated with human society Groups like ladybirds are familiar to us from a very young age Large stag beetles & handsome chafers are celebrated for their imposing size & bright colours The sacred scarabs of the ancient Egyptians were given iconic if not god-like status & even though the exact religious meanings may be fading after three millennia their bewitching jewellery & monumental statuary inspire us still Despite this ancient & easy familiarity with beetles the Coleoptera remains tainted by the notion that it is a ‘difficult’ group of insects The traditional routes into studying British natural history through birdwatching butterfly-collecting & pressing wild flowers now extend to studying dragonflies bumblebees grasshoppers moths hoverflies & even shieldbugs These are on the verge of becoming popular groups but beetles remain the preserve of the expert or so it seems So many British beetles are easy to find & easy to identify by the non-expert but that bewildering background diversity & the daunting numbers of species in the Coleoptera as a whole have been enough to dissuade many a potential coleopterist from grasping the nettle & getting stuck in Richard Jones’ groundbreaking New Naturalist volume on beetles encourages those enthusiasts who would otherwise be put off by the to date rather technical literature that has dominated the field providing a comprehensive natural history of this fascinating & beautiful group of insects ...

Money is changing & this book looks at where the technology of money might be taking us in the future Technology has moved our concept of money from physical things to unseen bits of information With the arrival of smart cards mobile phones & Bitcoin it has become easier than ever to create new forms of money Crucially money is also inextricably connected with our identities Your card or phone can identify you for security
- & also enable information about you to be associated with your money (think for example of store 'points' cards) To understand all of this & to see where we might be going the author first of all looks back over the whole history of money which spans thousands of years He sees evidence for possible futures in the past both recent & ancient After all not all 'future' starts from today For example it can be argued that the future of money began back in 1971 when money became a claim backed by reputation rather than by commodities of any kind At this point money became bits Looking much further back to a world before cash & central banks we see multiple 'currencies' operating at the level of communities & the use of barter The newest technologies will take money back to where it came from a substitute for memory to record mutual debt obligations within multiple overlapping communities This time though money will be smart It will be money that reflects the values of the communities that produced it Future money will know where it has been who has been using it & what they have been using it for
