The Biology of Sea Turtles
Author: Jeanette Wyneken
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1439873070
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 479
Book Description
Since the first volume of The Biology of Sea Turtles was published in 1997, the field has grown and matured in ways few of the authors would have predicted—particularly in the areas of physiology, behavior, genetics, and health. Volume III presents timely coverage of emerging areas as well as the integration of approaches and information that did not exist even a decade ago. The book assembles the foremost experts in each topic to provide the most up-to-date and comprehensive book on sea turtles available today. New areas covered include in vivo imaging of structure, spatial distributions of marine turtles at sea, epibiosis, imprinting, parasitology, and climatic effects. Life history is explored in three chapters covering age determination, predator-prey interactions, and mortality from bycatch. The Biology of Sea Turtles, Volume III will inspire scientists and students to explore and expand their understanding of these intriguing animals. The book provides clear baseline summaries, thoughtful syntheses, and effective presentation of the most fundamental topics spanning form and function, health, distributions, behavior, genetics, evolution, and ecology. Its scope and depth make it the definitive go-to reference in the field.

A Telling Experience
Author: Richard M. Trask
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1532052561
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
The book title “A Telling Experience” has a double meaning: 1) something curious that you were part of, and 2) the sharing of your particular story. An experience becomes even more meaningful by being told. The thing may be familiar, or it may be as strange as The Twilight Zone but true. The idea of this book is that everybody’s life is somehow a Tall Tale. This book is my Tall Tale: my ordinary, strange, telling experience. A bewildered youth, a bumbling smitten young adult, a middle-age striver, finally a would-be philosopher. It’s a wild ride. You’ll laugh your head off and cry your eyes out, I promise! It’s a bizarre collection, every chapter a story of its own, and every story a very Tall Tale! Each story is somehow like your own story, and in some way like everybody else’s story too! We’re all in the same boat, it seems! That’s a comforting thought overall. Misery loves company and, especially, so does joy!
