Sinopsis

Albatrosses, masters of the skies and seas, are the focus of "Albatross Facts," a book that explores the intricate lives of these seabirds. It examines how they achieve sustained flight across vast oceans and their remarkable navigational skills. These avian wonders use a technique called 'dynamic soaring,' exploiting wind gradients to minimize energy expenditure. Furthermore, albatross populations serve as critical indicators of ocean health, reflecting the impact of ecological stresses on marine ecosystems. 

 
The book progresses by first detailing the anatomy and physiology that enable efficient flight, followed by an investigation into their navigation methods, including the use of magnetic fields and celestial cues. It also addresses the conservation challenges these birds face due to issues like plastic pollution and overfishing, connecting their survival to broader global environmental concerns. The book presents complex scientific data in an accessible manner, making it a valuable resource for nature enthusiasts and students of biology alike.

How to Be a Man (Whatever That...

James Breakwell

There's no wrong way to be a woman. There are countless wrong ways to be a man. 
 
 
 
James Breakwell should know. He's tried just about all of them. Journalism. Pig ownership. Felony lawn gnome theft. Whatever masculinity is supposed to be, this can't be it. But can you really fail at something no one can quite define? Apparently. 
 
 
 
Now, in a series of funny, sharply observed, and occasionally poignant essays, everyone's favorite internet-famous father of four daughters lays down a lifetime of lessons in what it means to be a man. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll wonder what really happened to those creepy lawn gnomes on that deserted country road. (Spoiler alert: They're right behind you.) 
 
 
 
If you ever wanted to know how to fail at altruism, dodge the priesthood, and stumble your way into unexpected wisdom, this book is for you. 
 
 
 
How to Be a Man (Whatever that Means) presents a vision of manhood that looks very different from what you'll see on TV. And that's a good thing. Probably.

Knitted Socks East and West - 30...

Judy Sumner

Open up a world of knitting possibilities with these fun and stylish sock designs using Japanese stitch techniques. In Knitted Socks East and West, author Judy Sumner compares knitting a sock to writing a haiku: both challenge you to create something beautiful and original within a sparse, strict format. In this, her first book, she recounts how she came to study hundreds of exquisite Japanese stitch patters and then apply her new knowledge to the sock designs showcased here. Whether short or long, fine or bulky, simple or complex, each of the 30 designs in Knitted Socks East and West is named after an intriguing aspect of Japanese culture. For example, the leg of the Origami crew socks appears to fold in and out; the Sumo slipper socks are named after the heavy, organic movement of the cables in their thick yarn; and the Ikebana knee socks highlight a textural floral design. Step-by-step text and easy-to-read charts are included for each design, along with illustrated directions for the Japanese stitchwork introduced in the projects.
