There are fewer grey seals in the world than endangered African elephants, but the British Isles host almost half of this global population. Every year these charismatic animals, with their expressive eyes and whiskers more sensitive than our fingertips, haul out on our shores to breed and raise their pups.

As graceful in the sea as they might seem clumsy on land, grey seals have visited our shores and enriched our culture for centuries. Yet we still know relatively little about these captivating animals. As Susan Richardson journeys to the crags and crevices of the coast, she explores the mysteries and mythologies of seals, learning not just how they live but also how we ought to live with them.

PRAISE FOR SUSAN RICHARDSON‘Cut and precise, archaic and innovative, transcendent and in-the-moment, [Richardson] sees the life of the sea as a mirror of ourselves, and vice versa: always changing, always the same … Vital, glorious and salutary’PHILIP HOARE, AUTHOR OF LEVIATHAN‘[Richardson] writes in prehensile language, capable of grasping something vast, ancient, chthonic: the Earth in must’JAY GRIFFITHS, AUTHOR OF WILD‘Richardson beautifully marries the landscape of the polar regions with their – and her own – emotional topography’SARA WHEELERSusan Richardson has always been entranced by seals; they seem to have surfaced at key junctions throughout her life, comforting her as an anxious child, bringing joy as she began to spread her wings as a writer and helping her to find her way after the loss of her mother. Now she sets out to trace the rhythm of their lives, travelling the coasts clockwise from Cornwall to Norfolk, in line with the autumn pupping season. Along the way she explores the myths surrounding seals, from their shapeshifting selkie skins to the claims that they decimate fish populations, and she discovers that the greatest dangers they face come from co-existing with us.

Brimming with vivid descriptions of the natural world, Where the Seals Sing is a lyrical tale of memory, rescue and rehabilitation. While loss, both personal and ecological, is a recurring theme, the human–seal connection that flows through the story is stirring and uplifting.

A Staple in my Skincare Routine
Scent: Unscented, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 3), Scent: Unscented, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 3)
I've been a huge fan of micellar products ever since they came onto the US market and these Simple Micellar Makeup Remover Wipes are no exception! Simple products are known to be gentle and easy on the skin. These wipes stay true to the brand and feel great on the skin! I have combination, sensitive skin and over the years, I've become quite diligent in taking my makeup off before bed. Although I have tried countless popular brands in the past, these Simple Micellar Makeup Remover Wipes are the ones I keep coming back to time and time again. These wipes are my first step of action in removing my makeup and they do a pretty great job of taking off everything. I usually hold the wipe over my eye area for a few seconds to allow the makeup to break down and come off onto the wipe--I've found that this does a good job of removing my mascara, eye liner and shadow. These wipes do not cause any irritation to the eye area and are great to use on the sensitive skin of the face. To take off stubborn or waterproof makeup, I just apply a liquid eye makeup remover directly onto the wipe and have found this to be the easiest and least wasteful method. I usually wash my face afterwards with a gentle cleanser and continue on with my skincare routine. However, on the nights I'm really tired, I rely on these wipes to remove all of my makeup. These wipes do not leave any type of chemical residue behind and make my face feel fresh and clean. The Simple Micellar Makeup Remover Wipes are a staple in my skincare routine. I keep one pack in my bedside table for easy access on the nights I'm too lazy to wash my face, one in my vanity, and another in my gym bag--I clearly like to stock up! I highly recommend these wipes; they are a must try for everyone!

Great, but different.
Scent: Unscented, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 4)
I've been buying these for a while now. I love them because I have really sensitive skin and these clean my face without leaving a greasy film, or irritating my skin like other face wipes do. Mind you, the only makeup I wear is mascara though, so it's really only cleaning off oil and dirt. They don't dry out my face either. The only problem I have with these, is that, the last batch I ordered (while in the same packaging, and having no difference in looks or labels) is different than what I had previously been receiving from the same company. They smell different (actually better in my opinion) and they do NOT remove my mascara as well anymore. I still love them, because it does help keep my face from being excessively oily and keeps it clean other than removing my mascara. Though I am disappointed that I now have to get a different brand wipe just for removing my mascara now.

Best of the facial wipes
Scent: Unscented, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 3)
I have used a lot of facial wipes. But, because of environmental reasons I am trying to cut back on the excess use of wipes which will go into a landfill. However, there are times when I am just too tired or too lazy to do a whole cleansing routine at night and I will reach for a wipe. These do a good job of taking off even waterproof makeup and yet still being gentle on the skin. I find I have no sensitivity to them(and I am sensitive to many, many things). I bought them specifically this time for my trip to Thailand because I knew it would be hot and humid and that I probably would need to cleanse my face a couple of times during the day from sweat and grime. They worked and I found them refreshing. I think I will always keep them on hand for the times I need them — this is by far my favorite brand.
