Book Description
Follow the story of evolution! The illustrated children’s book is a beautiful introduction to the evolution of species over millions of years. What’s made animals survive and naturally go extinct? Why are fish scaled? Why do birds have wings? Find out about the changing animal anatomy discoveries made by Swedish zoologist Charles Linneas. Animals and evolution are fascinating subjects to teach little minds. Discover the ways that animals have adapted to survive and the amazing reasons behind these adaptations. The illustrated guide includes: • Beautiful artwork, perfect for fans of Owen Davey. • Many different animal features (like eyes, scales, claws, hair and many more), as well as feature spreads on topics like fast evolution. • Highly accessible text about a key school subject. Kids age 7 and older will be delighted by the scientific facts in this wildlife book. It’s filled with incredible bits of information that spark a deep curiosity in the natural world, evolution and the animal kingdom. The book highlights that evolution is an ongoing process, and allows kids to look at the world around them and notice the continuing evolution of species. Evolved also features more in-depth explanations of animal body parts, how they work and how they’re different from other species. Children will understand how evolution made certain elements of the natural world unnecessary, and others integral to survival. Explanations of Charles Linneas’ classification system of all living things are included and give kids, adults and educators a fantastic reference to the magnificent living world.

Principles of Animal Behavior, 4th Edition
Author: Lee Alan Dugatkin
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022644841X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 593
Book Description
Since the last edition of this definitive textbook was published in 2013, much has happened in the field of animal behavior. In this fourth edition, Lee Alan Dugatkin draws on cutting-edge new work not only to update and expand on the studies presented, but also to reinforce the previous editions’ focus on ultimate and proximate causation, as well as the book’s unique emphasis on natural selection, learning, and cultural transmission. The result is a state-of-the-art textbook on animal behavior that explains underlying concepts in a way that is both scientifically rigorous and accessible to students. Each chapter in the book provides a sound theoretical and conceptual basis upon which the empirical studies rest. A completely new feature in this edition are the Cognitive Connection boxes in Chapters 2–17, designed to dig deep into the importance of the cognitive underpinnings to many types of behaviors. Each box focuses on a specific issue related to cognition and the particular topic covered in that chapter. As Principles of Animal Behavior makes clear, the tapestry of animal behavior is created from weaving all of these components into a beautiful whole. With Dugatkin’s exquisitely illustrated, comprehensive, and up-to-date fourth edition, we are able to admire that beauty anew.

Let Go is a collection of poems that challenges the reader to look beyond the gamut of preconceived ideas, prejudices, egotism, and superiority.

Book Description
A month ago, seventeen-year-old Jackie was certain she was human and that supernatural creatures didn't exist. So when she discovered she was a shapeshifter and that her narrow world view needed to broaden to include vampires, werewolves, the fae and many other magical creatures, she was faced with two choices: have a full-out meltdown, or embrace her abilities and run with them. Teaming up with three other young shifters, Jackie found a peace within herself she’d thought would never be possible. Now Garrett, her vampire trainer, was her lifemate and her team was ready to defend the magical community from those who chose to ignore the laws set in place to protect the weaker members of their world. Unfortunately, because of her unusually strong magical abilities, Jackie caught the interest of a fae lord, a creature so powerful he can manipulate magic with just a thought. Now Jackie and Garrett are on their way into the realm of Faerie to celebrate the Midsummer Solstice with their allies—in more danger than they can possibly imagine.
