Book Description
Animals are amazing -- and often amusing. Hooded seals blow big red " balloons" out of their nostrils; ravens toboggan head first down snowbanks; grizzly bears snorkel through rivers to catch salmon; and wolves, even if six kilometers apart, can communicate by howling. Ten wild animals are brought to life inside this book, not only with incredible facts like these, but with collections of old stories told about the animals from different cultures around the world: There`s a story from Japan about a whale meeting a Buddha; one from Africa about how bats became night creatures; a story from Canada, Norway, and Sweden explaining why bears have short tails; and more. Illustrated throughout with lifelike and light hearted drawings, Why Seals Blow Their Noses is an extraordinary book that entertains while it informs, stimulating children`s imagination in amusing and educational ways. And why do seals blow their noses? Well, scientists think they may do it for the same reason kids will love this book: it`s fun! Awards Our Choice (Awarded by the Canadian Children`s Book Centre) 1993 - Why Seals Blow Their Noses

The Aquatic Ape Hypothesis
Author: Elaine Morgan
Publisher: Souvenir Press
ISBN: 0285639811
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
Why do humans differ from other primates? What do those differences tell us about human evolution? Elaine Morgan gives a revolutionary hypothesis that explains our anatomic anomalies: why we walk on two legs, why we are covered in fat, why we can control our rate of breathing? The answers point to one conclusion: millions of years ago our ancestors were trapped in a semi-aquatic environment. In presenting her case Elaine Morgan forces scientists to question accepted theories of human evolution.
