She shows why a city looks like a cliff to a bird, and follows the falcon that laid its eggs on the twentieth floor of a Montreal office building in the 1930s, the pesticide that wiped peregrines from half a continent, and the comeback that has put them back on the bridges and towers of New York and London.","keywords":"urban birds, city birds, birdwatching, birding, rooftop wildlife, urban wildlife, nature writing, peregrine falcon, falcons, sun life building, montreal, ddt, pesticides, swifts, common swift, swift bricks, nest boxes, chimney swifts, vaux's swifts, chapman school, portland, beijing, summer palace, nighthawks, gravel roofs, gulls, herring gull, seagulls, black redstart, brown roofs, green roofs, bats, mexican free tailed bats, congress avenue bridge, austin, storks, oriental stork, toyooka, japan, bird collisions, window strikes, lights out, light pollution, birdcast, migration, shearwaters, kauai, rspb, red list, house sparrows, pigeons, new york, london, citizen science, conservation, ecology, birds, wildlife, montreal falcon","price":9.99,"prices":{"USD":9.99,"MYR":46.95,"SGD":13.39,"EUR":9.19,"AUD":14.99},"img":"images\/covers\/eq-0281.png?v=1790601592","sizes":[{"w":240,"h":360,"jpg":"images\/derived\/eq-0281-240x360.jpg?v=1790601593","webp":"images\/derived\/eq-0281-240x360.webp?v=1790601593"},{"w":480,"h":720,"jpg":"images\/derived\/eq-0281-480x720.jpg?v=1790601593","webp":"images\/derived\/eq-0281-480x720.webp?v=1790601593"},{"w":800,"h":1200,"jpg":"images\/derived\/eq-0281-800x1200.jpg?v=1790601593","webp":"images\/derived\/eq-0281-800x1200.webp?v=1790601593"}],"thumb":"images\/derived\/eq-0281-240x360.jpg?v=1790601593","thumbWebp":"images\/derived\/eq-0281-240x360.webp?v=1790601593","catalog":"images\/derived\/eq-0281-480x720.jpg?v=1790601593","catalogWebp":"images\/derived\/eq-0281-480x720.webp?v=1790601593","cover":"images\/derived\/eq-0281-800x1200.jpg?v=1790601593","coverWebp":"images\/derived\/eq-0281-800x1200.webp?v=1790601593","released":"2026-09-28","isNew":false,"shines":false,"shinePos":0,"featured":false,"intro":1790602256,"introN":14,"introV":0},{"code":"EQ-0280","title":"Every Drain Remembers a Stream","author":"Brynn Halloway","isbn":"","language":"English","cats":["Nature & Environment"],"type":"Non-Fiction","desc":"Under almost every town runs a stream nobody has seen for a hundred years.

Then she takes the lid off: the expressway in Seoul that was pulled down to bring a stream back into daylight, the river in Yonkers that saw the sun again after ninety years, the concrete canal in Singapore that was taught to meander, and the city of Zurich, which has been quietly uncovering its brooks since 1988.","keywords":"urban wildlife, urban ecology, city nature, nature writing, buried rivers, lost rivers, hidden rivers, underground rivers, daylighting, stream restoration, river restoration, storm drains, sewers, culverts, urban streams, flooding, sponge city, rain gardens, green infrastructure, cheonggyecheon, seoul, saw mill river, yonkers, kallang river, bishan ang mo kio park, zurich, copenhagen, river fleet, tyburn, great stink, joseph bazalgette, thames, otters, smooth coated otters, eels, european eel, glass eels, sargasso sea, hudson river eel project, coho salmon, 6ppd quinone, tyre chemicals, stormwater pollution, beavers, alhambra creek, martinez, thornton creek, seattle, philadelphia, frogs, toads, newts, amphibians, toad ladders, citizen science, wetlands, ecology, conservation, environment, singapore","price":9.99,"prices":{"USD":9.99,"MYR":46.95,"SGD":13.39,"EUR":9.19,"AUD":14.99},"img":"images\/covers\/eq-0280.png?v=1790601588","sizes":[{"w":240,"h":360,"jpg":"images\/derived\/eq-0280-240x360.jpg?v=1790601589","webp":"images\/derived\/eq-0280-240x360.webp?v=1790601589"},{"w":480,"h":720,"jpg":"images\/derived\/eq-0280-480x720.jpg?v=1790601589","webp":"images\/derived\/eq-0280-480x720.webp?v=1790601589"},{"w":800,"h":1200,"jpg":"images\/derived\/eq-0280-800x1200.jpg?v=1790601589","webp":"images\/derived\/eq-0280-800x1200.webp?v=1790601589"}],"thumb":"images\/derived\/eq-0280-240x360.jpg?v=1790601589","thumbWebp":"images\/derived\/eq-0280-240x360.webp?v=1790601589","catalog":"images\/derived\/eq-0280-480x720.jpg?v=1790601589","catalogWebp":"images\/derived\/eq-0280-480x720.webp?v=1790601589","cover":"images\/derived\/eq-0280-800x1200.jpg?v=1790601589","coverWebp":"images\/derived\/eq-0280-800x1200.webp?v=1790601589","released":"2026-09-28","isNew":false,"shines":false,"shinePos":0,"featured":false,"intro":1790602256,"introN":14,"introV":0},{"code":"EQ-0279","title":"Seven Enemy Ships","author":"Alden Rooke","isbn":"","language":"English","cats":["History"],"type":"Non-Fiction","desc":"Around 1190 BC the king of Ugarit wrote that seven enemy ships had burned his towns.

A thousand years away, in a castle under siege in a dry season, King Aldric of a small kingdom the world has forgotten watches food appear from the vessel on his table, and his steward Otho declares it holy.","keywords":"time travel romance, timeslip, time slip, portal, portal to the past, magic vase, ancient artefact, ancient artifact, inherited object, grandfather, medieval, middle ages, castle, siege, king, kingdom, two worlds, across time, adventure, romance, historical fantasy, fantasy, science fiction, novel, teleport","price":9.99,"prices":{"USD":9.99,"MYR":46.95,"SGD":13.39,"EUR":9.19,"AUD":14.99},"img":"images\/covers\/eq-0259.jpg?v=1789718427","sizes":[{"w":240,"h":360,"jpg":"images\/derived\/eq-0259-240x360.jpg?v=1789718427","webp":"images\/derived\/eq-0259-240x360.webp?v=1789718427"},{"w":480,"h":720,"jpg":"images\/derived\/eq-0259-480x720.jpg?v=1789718427","webp":"images\/derived\/eq-0259-480x720.webp?v=1789718427"},{"w":800,"h":1200,"jpg":"images\/derived\/eq-0259-800x1200.jpg?v=1789718428","webp":"images\/derived\/eq-0259-800x1200.webp?v=1789718428"}],"thumb":"images\/derived\/eq-0259-240x360.jpg?v=1789718427","thumbWebp":"images\/derived\/eq-0259-240x360.webp?v=1789718427","catalog":"images\/derived\/eq-0259-480x720.jpg?v=1789718427","catalogWebp":"images\/derived\/eq-0259-480x720.webp?v=1789718427","cover":"images\/derived\/eq-0259-800x1200.jpg?v=1789718428","coverWebp":"images\/derived\/eq-0259-800x1200.webp?v=1789718428","released":"2026-09-18","isNew":false,"shines":false,"shinePos":0,"featured":false,"intro":1790449358,"introN":17,"introV":3},{"code":"EQ-0258","title":"Copper Plus","author":"Gazz S.

Eli has come home to empty his late mother's house and sell it. In the hallway he found a box of eleven library books, all filled with his mother's pencil handwriting in the margins.

Her quiet questions begin to undo the town's oldest story, one clue and one carefully laid stone at a time.","keywords":"mystery, literary mystery, cold case, missing person, disappearance, unsolved, amateur sleuth, small town secrets, hill town, temple, stone masons, stonemason, granite steps, stairway, landslide, buried evidence, old letter, friendship, generations, malaysia, malaysian fiction, justice, suspense","price":9.99,"prices":{"USD":9.99,"MYR":46.95,"SGD":13.39,"EUR":9.19,"AUD":14.99},"img":"images\/covers\/eq-0174.jpg?v=1787905908","sizes":[{"w":240,"h":360,"jpg":"images\/derived\/eq-0174-240x360.jpg?v=1787910337","webp":"images\/derived\/eq-0174-240x360.webp?v=1787910337"},{"w":480,"h":720,"jpg":"images\/derived\/eq-0174-480x720.jpg?v=1787910337","webp":"images\/derived\/eq-0174-480x720.webp?v=1787910337"},{"w":800,"h":1200,"jpg":"images\/derived\/eq-0174-800x1200.jpg?v=1787910337","webp":"images\/derived\/eq-0174-800x1200.webp?v=1787910337"}],"thumb":"images\/derived\/eq-0174-240x360.jpg?v=1787910337","thumbWebp":"images\/derived\/eq-0174-240x360.webp?v=1787910337","catalog":"images\/derived\/eq-0174-480x720.jpg?v=1787910337","catalogWebp":"images\/derived\/eq-0174-480x720.webp?v=1787910337","cover":"images\/derived\/eq-0174-800x1200.jpg?v=1787910337","coverWebp":"images\/derived\/eq-0174-800x1200.webp?v=1787910337","released":"2026-08-14","isNew":false,"shines":false,"shinePos":0,"featured":false,"intro":1790449358,"introN":10,"introV":0},{"code":"EQ-0173","title":"Top 10 Reasons Why Women Cheat","author":"June Marlowe","isbn":"978-629-92766-8-5","language":"English","cats":["Self Improvement"],"type":"Non-Fiction","desc":"A gentle, honest look at ten recurring relationship patterns reported in accounts of infidelity, written to support understanding without blame or diagnosis.","blurb":"Why does someone who once promised forever begin keeping a secret?
