Sinopse

Platypus Facts explores the extraordinary biology of the platypus, an Australian monotreme that challenges traditional classifications of mammals. This book highlights the animal's unique features, such as its egg-laying habits and the venomous spurs found on males, which distinguish it from most other mammals. The text delves into the evolutionary significance of this remarkable creature, emphasizing its role as a critical link between reptilian and mammalian traits. The book investigates the platypus's evolutionary history, anatomy, and physiology. It examines the composition and effects of platypus venom, potentially valuable for pharmaceutical research. The book progresses through chapters detailing the platypus's classification within the mammalian lineage, its venom delivery system, reproductive strategies, and the development of its young, known as puggles. It offers insights into animal adaptation and mammalian evolution by integrating anatomical studies, genetic analyses, and field observations.

    In Soul Friend and Other Love Notes to the Natural World, author and naturalist Sheila McEntee artfully conveys her deep love of the natural world and the solace she finds there. In twelve brief personal essays, spanning 20 years, she explores the flora and fauna in Appalachian forests, on the shores of the Potomac River, and, especially, in her own backyard, as she navigates the joys and trials of an introspective life: love, loss, death, loneliness, intimacy, uncertainty, and, ultimately, self-knowing and self-acceptance. In this small volume, we learn that nature teaches resiliency, and to be present to it is to find joy. Indeed, there is no heartache or struggle for which it does not offer comfort.

    Comedy meets Brave New World, Blade Runner and Cyber Punk. This book is a selection of short stories without care of being cancelled. 
    Humor is becoming extinct and the author hopes it will remain alive. As Mark Twain once wrote; “It is not hard being funny, as long as it is the Truth!” 
    Excerpt: 
    2033 
    Business men now work on Freedom Street (was Wall Street). Cyber Cams have cyber games and now the Internet monitors Itself with Devilet (One World Government) system. People walk along lanes on the side walk. They are ticked if they do over 3.3 miles an hour. A Meter bills them out of their 401 Gay Account. 
    It is like the Dark Ages now. The job problems are not around because a third of six billion people are lying low, victims of coverted wars, nukes, reactors leaking more than your grandma’s depends after watching another Harry Potter Seniors Night 
    Joe was a refuse collector. He wore a chem. Suit. Why did he collect refuse because he could not refuse.

    When you travel to a foreign land, do you experience this new place as your old self? Or do you become a new version of you?From living in a van in San Diego to growing chocolate with indigenous tribes in Central America, to teaching in the Middle East and volunteering in Africa, Gregory V. Diehl has spent his entire adult life discovering the world and himself. Leaving his California home shortly after his 18th birthday, he went on to live and work in 45 countries across the globe by age 28.By recounting the existential lessons from his journey, Diehl challenges the reader to question how their identity has been shaped by the culture and lifestyle they know. He argues, compellingly, that travel can transform your perception of yourself along with the world. By losing your comfortable sense of self, you learn to examine your life through the structure of everything it can become.To travel solo a truly open mind is to forget who you were when you started. It is to be constantly born anew, to discover your strengths and find your path in life. Travel As Transformation will give you the wisdom, the inspiration, and the resources to conquer the limitations placed by your arbitrary past. Whether traveler or non-traveler, its lessons about approaching the uncomfortable and unfamiliar apply to everyone.
