Mongooses are a remarkable and fascinating group of small carnivores, with 25 species occurring in Africa and nine in Asia. They live within a wide variety of habitats, from open savannah to dense rainforest, and display an amazing diversity in social behaviour, with both solitary and group-living species. Yet this family is one of the least-known group of carnivores. The general lack of public awareness about most mongoose species, and the scarce ecological knowledge of what they need to survive in the wild, are two of the many conservation threats that this group of carnivores faces, which highlights the urgent need to promote an interest in these amazing animals. As well as popularising mongooses, the book will be a valuable source of information on general scientific and conservation topics, such as social behaviour and how the loss of suitable habitats impacts animal species. Recent cinematic films and TV documentaries on meerkats and banded mongooses have been very popular, but people are much less familiar with the other mongoose species that live across Africa and Asia - most of these are rarely seen in the wild and are very poorly known, and several have not been studied in the field. One African mongoose was only discovered by western scientists in 1958, and several others are only known from a few museum specimens and recent observations in the wild. This well-researched, lavishly illustrated book will give a comprehensive overview of the whole mongoose family, including all the different aspects of mongoose biology, their role in human society and the conservation issues that they face, as well as detailed information on all 34 mongoose species.

Retail has always been a dynamic industry but right now it is going through an unprecedented pace of change. Seismic economic shifts and breath-taking technological advances are changing the shopping experience faster than most retailers are able to react. Customers demand ever more exciting shopping experiences and have higher expectations of product, service, value and environment. And, as if that isn’t enough to contend with, there is the multi-channel reality to get to grips with too. Any retailer that wants to stay in the game, let alone ahead of it, has to think in an entirely different way. Get it wrong, or move too slowly, and the customer will be lost forever. They’ll already be onto the next big thing. Andrew Jennings is a global retail executive with four decades of leadership experience at some of the world’s top stores. In his first book, Almost Is Not Good Enough, he shares his secrets on how retailers can thrive in this dynamic environment. Almost Is Not Good Enough is the up-to-date guide anyone involved with modern retail cannot afford to miss.
