Book Description
A group of hippy nudists are reported to be swimming in the raw up near a local hot spring and, as might be expected, many of the more conservative townsfolk of Liberty are alarmed by this revelation. Pastor John Wilson leads the fight to save Liberty from permissive outside influences, but experiences a little alien intervention along the way. Convinced that he has received a revelation from the Almighty Himself, the pastor must convince his parishioners that the hippies aren't so bad after all and that, in fact, they should be emulated in certain ways. Patrick, James, and Sawyer are boys who live in Libery who meet some of the hippy boys and form a friendship with them. They share many adventures along with the pastor's son, Brandon, and another boy from the church named Jake. Together they discover the truth behind Pastor John's conversion experience, but that doesn't stop them from having a lot of fun just the same. Somehow, despite all these disruptive events, the boys must still complete their science fair projects. Will Pastor John start a new religion? Will he be ousted as pastor of the largest church in Liberty? Can the boys complete their science fair projects on time? How can so much controversy revolve around peaceful, relaxing hot springs? Come have a blast with the boys as they learn about the pleasures and dangers of hot springs

Sea Turtles of the Eastern Pacific
Author: Jeffrey A. Seminoff
Publisher: University of Arizona Press
ISBN: 0816547076
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 425
Book Description
Sea turtles are flagship species for the world's oceans. They traverse international boundaries during their migrations, serve as vehicles for marine nutrients to terrestrial habitats, and embody the often tenuous relationship between human action and ecosystem health. The East Pacific Ocean is home to some of the most dynamic marine ecosystems, and the most unique sea turtles. Marine biodiversity within this massive ocean region abounds in mangrove estuaries, seagrass pastures, coral reefs, the open ocean, and many other habitats, with sea turtles often the most conspicuous species present. The distinctive traits of the Eastern Pacific have resulted in the smallest leatherbacks, a singular morph of the green turtle, dark and steeply domed olive ridleys, and the most cryptic hawksbills on the planet. Only now are we beginning to understand how these varieties have evolved. However, the oceanographic conditions that make this an epicenter of sea turtle activity also promote massive artisanal and industrial fishing efforts that, coupled with illegal harvesting of eggs and turtles, have led to declines of several turtle populations in the region. The essays and stories in Sea Turtles of the Eastern Pacific describe for the first time the history of this exploitation, as well as recent sea turtle conservation initiatives and scientific research in the region. The first third of the book considers the biology of the turtles, focusing on general overviews of current ecological management challenges facing the turtles' survival. The second third treats issues of marine policy related to turtle conservation. In conclusion, the book offers six compelling stories of conservation success. By the end, readers will have gained a in-depth view not only of these magnificent creatures, but also the people involved in research and conservation efforts in one of the most remarkable regions of our planet.
