Pages : 162
Book Description
Why are newborn bears so tiny? How does the joey find its way to its mother’s pouch? Why are fruit bats born large, alert and with their eyes open? These and many other questions are answered in this essential guide to the life cycles of the world’s mammals. This fascination book describes and illustrates the various, and sometimes unique, ways in which mammals raise their young and live their lives. More than seventy different types of mammals are represented, from the chimpanzee, which does not gain its independence until the age of seven or eight, to the tiny hamster, which is already fending for itself after only two months. The main text provides a vivid synopsis of each animal’s life, including how the animal learns to survive, achieves independence, and mates. Superb illustrations and detailed captions offer additional about the various stages that the animal goes through. Multiple points of interest highlight special aspects of each animal’s life, such as breeding season, litter size, and average life expectancy. Animal Life Cycles is an ideal introduction to the life cycles of the world’s animals. It is an indispensable guide that can be used in schools and at home.

Raising Men
Author: Eric Davis
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
ISBN: 1250091748
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
After Eric Davis spent over 16 years in the military, including a decade in the SEAL Teams, his family was more than used to his absence on deployments and secret missions that could obscure his whereabouts for months at a time. Without a father figure in his own life since the age of fifteen, Eric was desperate to maintain the bonds he’d fought so hard to forge when his children were young—particularly with his son, Jason, because he knew how difficult it was to face the challenge of becoming a man on one’s own. Unfortunately, Eric learned the hard way that Quality Time doesn’t always show up in Quantity Time. Facebook, television, phones, video games, school, jobs, friends—they all got in the way of a real, meaningful father-son relationship. It was time to take action. As a SEAL, Eric learned to innovate and push boundaries, allowing him to function at levels beyond what was expected, comfortable, ordinary, and even imaginable, and he knew that as a father he needed to do the same with his son. Meeting extreme with extreme was the only answer. Using a unique blend of discipline, leadership, adventure, and grace, Eric and his SEAL brothers will teach you how to connect, and reconnect, with your sons and learn how to raise real men—the Navy SEAL way.

Biology of Marine Mammals
Author: John E. Reynolds
Publisher: Smithsonian Institution
ISBN: 1588342506
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 589
Book Description
Taking an integrated approach to the biology of marine carnivores, cetaceans, and sirenians, twenty-two prominent researchers compare marine mammals with one another and with terrestrial mammals, providing a framework for fundamental biological and ecological concepts. They describe functional morphology, sensory systems, energetics, reproduction, communication and cognition, behavior, distribution, population biology, and feeding ecology. They also detail the physiological adaptations—for such activities and processes as diving, thermo-regulation, osmoregulation, and orientation—that enable marine mammals to exploit their aquatic environment.
