"A noted naturalist explores the centrality of home in the lives of humans and other animals . . . A special treat for readers of natural history." -- Kirkus Reviews Every year, many species make the journey from one place to another, following the same paths and ending up in the same places. Every year since boyhood, the acclaimed scientist and author Bernd Heinrich has done the same, returning to a beloved patch of western Maine woods. Which led him to wonder: what is the biology in humans of this primal pull toward a particular place, and how is it related to animal homing? In The Homing Instinct, Heinrich explores the fascinating mysteries of animal migration: how geese imprint true visual landscape memory; how scent trails are used by many creatures to locate their homes with pinpoint accuracy; and how even the tiniest of songbirds are equipped for solar and magnetic orienteering over vast distances. And he reminds us that to discount our human emotions toward home is to ignore biology itself. "A graceful blend of science and memoir . . . Heinrich's] ability to linger and simply be there for the moment when, for instance, an elderly spider descends from a silken strand to take the insect he offers her is the heart of his appeal." -- Julie Zickefoose, Wall Street Journal "Deep and insightful writing." -- David Gessner, Washington PostBinding Type: Paperback

Loved it so much I bought a second one!
Style: Swivel Base, Color: Space Gray
I have two of these bad boys: one at the office and one at home, and I've used them for a couple of years now. I love them. I pair it with a separate Bluetooth keyboard on the desk, and I can't imagine doing computer work without it anymore. Being able to elevate the screen transforms my laptop into a small PC, and I love being able to swivel it around to show a coworker what I'm working on or to just glance at the screen real quick if I'm up walking around. I've never had any stability issues with these. So long as you put it on a level surface, I think you'll be fine. The mStand360 is badass.

Love this drying rack
Color: black, Color: black
Easily mounted on the wall. We use near our fireplace to dry winter gloves and all that. Works great, looks sleek and nice. Love that I can fold all the prongs in when not in use. Very well priced for it. It’s stable, we hang snow suits in it. Love all the options for hanging to with the hooks, bars, and rack. It’s nice and stable to hold it all!

Excellent - thick, and coated with rustproof coating
Color: black
Excellent quality - thick and sturdy with a robust rust proof coating on the entire piece. It can hold lots of different types of clothing.

Great as long as you don't mind the shelf down all the time.
Color: black
This mounts well and feels very sturdy and overall works quite well. The only complaint I have is that the shelf doesn't stay vertical when it's stowed. It needs some way to keep it from falling down and hitting my head.

Perfect for shorts
Color: black
Easy to install and the perfect drying rack for leggings, shorts and tank tops. I like that you can fold the drying bars back into the wall to lay flat. Just what we needed for our small laundry room.
