A Guide to Common Freshwater Invertebrates of North America
Author: J. Reese Voshell
Publisher: McDonald and Woodward Publishing Company
ISBN: 9780939923878
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
Popular interest in the observation and study of freshwater invertebrates is increasing. This book meets the needs of this growing audience of naturalists, environmentalists, anglers, teachers, students, and others by providing substantive information in easy-to-understand, non-technical language for many groups of invertebrates commonly found in the streams, lakes, ponds, and other freshwater environments of North America. Section One provides background information on the biology and ecology of freshwater organisms and environments and explains why and how invertebrates can be studied, simply and without complex equipment, in the field and the laboratory. Section Two describes nearly 100 of the most common groups of invertebrates, and for each group a whole-body colour illustration is provided along with brief text pointing out the most important features that identify members of the group. Section Three contains in-depth descriptions of the life history, behaviour, and ecology of the various invertebrate groups, and explains their important ecological contributions and relationships to humans. The Guide is broad in scope, geographically and taxonomically, and it is written at a substantive yet easily accessible level that will appeal to both novices and those with more advanced knowledge of the subject. It also contains more than 100 specially commissioned colour illustrations by the well-known scientific illustrator Amy Bartlett Wright that will greatly facilitate the easy and rapid identification of specimens.

What are the ethics of ghosting in a relationship? How do I bet on sports? How should I behave in jail? How much is too much to spend on sneakers? Is porn really that bad for me? As they put it: “We want to share all we’ve learned, after years in the Bronx streets, with you: the people.

Book Description
He doesn’t know he’s tarnished. She unknowingly sees his wounds. But can you fix a broken ghost? Christopher Lynch is the biggest man whore you can find. I can’t believe he’s in medical school, sharing an education under the same roof as me. The worst part is he’s two tables over, giving me his bedroom eyes, in a campus bar. I could puke. He has the gall to come on to me, too, as I come out of the washroom. I’m not sure how he was raised, but it wasn’t in the same type of household I was raised in, with one parent; namely, a stepdad who taught me to steer clear of men like Christopher. But when I put the so-called med student in his place, it’s almost like I break him…and somehow, I realize that there is more under that narcissistic sneer than meets the eye. *** Ashley is hot, like, super hot, but she hates me. Everyone thinks my reputation was earned. Everyone thinks that they know me. But tonight, Ashley broke through. She saw a side of me that nobody else has, including myself. As soon as her fist made contact with my face, it all started coming back. She looked at me like I’d sprouted a new head, and maybe I had. What comes next is something neither of us expects. The tables turn and the truth comes crashing down, just as we both realize that we’ve made the biggest mistake of our lives…or is it the best mistake?

P.S. You're a Genius

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
Do you feel like you’re doing it all and it’s still not enough? Discover your shortcut to success in P.S. You’re A Genius. After a lifetime of overachieving, aiming to be excellent at everything, and three failed tech startups in Silicon Valley, Kelly Trach was stirred by a simple question: What if I just did what I’m good at? Now a six-figure business coach, Kelly poses the same question to you: What if you just did what you’re good at? Despite conventional wisdom, the gifts and experience you need are already innate. Having that “it factor” or “special ingredient” isn’t as elusive as you may think. P.S. You’re a Genius takes you on a self-reflective journey to find your own gifts (especially when you don’t feel “gifted” at all), asking questions like: How are your idols a reflection of your own genius? What are you great at that nobody taught you how to do? How is your darkest shadow your greatest gift? What have you been unexpectedly criticized for? Through these questions and more, you’ll uncover the ways you naturally excel, relinquish the lie that you’re not “good enough,” and discover how to convincingly convey your value to anyone. In the process, you’ll unlock the gumption to go after what you really want and ditch the mindset blocks holding you back—because YOU have an inherent genius. You just have to find it.

Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • “Exciting and provocative . . . A tour de force of a book that begs to be seen as well as to be read.”—The Washington Post Book World World renowned scientist Carl Sagan and acclaimed author Ann Druyan have written a Roots for the human species, a lucid and riveting account of how humans got to be the way we are. Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors is a thrilling saga that starts with the origin of the Earth. It shows with humor and drama that many of our key traits—self-awareness, technology, family ties, submission to authority, hatred for those a little different from ourselves, reason, and ethics—are rooted in the deep past, and illuminated by our kinship with other animals. Sagan and Druyan conduct a breathtaking journey through space and time, zeroing in on critical turning points in evolutionary history, and tracing the origins of sex, altruism, violence, rape, and dominance. Their book culminates in a stunningly original examination of the connection between primate and human traits. Astonishing in its scope, brilliant in its insights, and an absolutely compelling read, Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors is a triumph of popular science.

SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING AMY ADAMS • In this blazingly smart and voracious debut novel, an artist turned stay-at-home mom becomes convinced she's turning into a dog. • "A must-read for anyone who can’t get enough of the ever-blurring line between the psychological and supernatural that Yellowjackets exemplifies." —Vulture One day, the mother was a mother, but then one night, she was quite suddenly something else... An ambitious mother puts her art career on hold to stay at home with her newborn son, but the experience does not match her imagination. Two years later, she steps into the bathroom for a break from her toddler's demands, only to discover a dense patch of hair on the back of her neck. In the mirror, her canines suddenly look sharper than she remembers. Her husband, who travels for work five days a week, casually dismisses her fears from faraway hotel rooms. As the mother's symptoms intensify, and her temptation to give in to her new dog impulses peak, she struggles to keep her alter-canine-identity secret. Seeking a cure at the library, she discovers the mysterious academic tome which becomes her bible, A Field Guide to Magical Women: A Mythical Ethnography, and meets a group of mommies involved in a multilevel-marketing scheme who may also be more than what they seem. An outrageously original novel of ideas about art, power, and womanhood wrapped in a satirical fairy tale, Nightbitch will make you want to howl in laughter and recognition. And you should. You should howl as much as you want.

Book Description
A shallow Latvian gymnast. An ex-military single mom. A journey that alters much more than their passports. My friend Larissa asks me to accompany her to Latvia because of a family emergency. This happens literally the day after Brent leaves me and Henry to fend for ourselves. Brent promised he’d never go back to Afghanistan, where we met and conceived Henry, but evidently, he’s not a man of his word. I’m on Russian soil, alone, while Larissa takes care of wedding business. Call me crazy, but the first place I think of to go, the only place where people speak English, is a gym. Aleks puts me off immediately, with his pushy sales tactics and his imposing stature, but a call from home changes all that. *** I still cannot pronounce her name, but this former military lady has taken the sting off my last disastrous relationship. There is instant electricity between us, but I must ignore it, because I know that she has a son and a past, as do I. But after one day with her, my life has changed, and there is no denying that. Her leaving to go back home tears my heart in two, and as she drifts apart from me, I get a sinking feeling that she has a secret. Something from her past haunts her, and yet something in her future continues to remind her that our story is not finished yet. What is a man on the other side of the planet to do? I will find a way for us to be together, but will Mallorie still be there when I do?
