The cover picture is a photograph of a parasitic cuckoo chick removing an indigenous egg from the nest of a dunnock.
Cuckoos do not make nests. They lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, one egg per nest. When the cuckoo chick hatches, it instinctively pushes all other eggs or chicks out of the nest and demands all the food for itself.
Globalisation operates in a similar way to the cuckoo chick.
