  Is a zebra black with white stripes or white with black stripes? And why do flamingos stand on one leg while bats hang upside down? Did you know that a chameleon’s tongue can shoot out at five times the acceleration of a fighter jet? 
  In The Buck That Buries its Poo, naturalist Quinton Coetzee answers these and many other intriguing wildlife questions. He also dispels countless myths and elucidates some of the legends that surround 
  creatures in the South African bush we thought we knew all about. For example, bats do not get tangled in people’s hair (because they are far too adept at flying) and elephants are not afraid of mice (but they do fear bees!). 
  Other tall tales you might hear around the campfire are that lions roll in animal dung, entrails or carcasses to disguise their scent, and that rhinos have a predilection for stamping out fires. What is true, though, is that hyenas are more closely related to cats than to dogs. This handy guide is based on Coetzee’s own research and that of others, and his experience gleaned over decades living close to nature and wildlife. It seeks to unravel the mysteries of nature in Africa – from mammals and birds to arthropods and plants – with fascinating information and fun trivia. It is a book that will enlighten and entertain. 
  PS: Zebras are black with white stripes!

  Drift Into Failure - From...

  What does the collapse of sub-prime lending have in common with a broken jackscrew in an airliner’s tailplane? Or the oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico with the burn-up of Space Shuttle Columbia? These were systems that drifted into failure. While pursuing success in a dynamic, complex environment with limited resources and multiple goal conflicts, a succession of small, everyday decisions eventually produced breakdowns on a massive scale. We have trouble grasping the complexity and normality that gives rise to such large events. We hunt for broken parts, fixable properties, people we can hold accountable. Our analyses of complex system breakdowns remain depressingly linear, depressingly componential - imprisoned in the space of ideas once defined by Newton and Descartes. The growth of complexity in society has outpaced our understanding of how complex systems work and fail. Our technologies have gotten ahead of our theories. We are able to build things - deep-sea oil rigs, jackscrews, collateralized debt obligations - whose properties we understand in isolation. But in competitive, regulated societies, their connections proliferate, their interactions and interdependencies multiply, their complexities mushroom. This book explores complexity theory and systems thinking to understand better how complex systems drift into failure. It studies sensitive dependence on initial conditions, unruly technology, tipping points, diversity - and finds that failure emerges opportunistically, non-randomly, from the very webs of relationships that breed success and that are supposed to protect organizations from disaster. It develops a vocabulary that allows us to harness complexity and find new ways of managing drift.

  What happens when the animal everyone thinks is a nuisance becomes the only one who can save the day? 
   
  Meet Corbus, a magnificent cheetah and the absolute fastest animal in the land! But moving at lightning speed isn't always easy. Every time Corbus zooms by, he kicks up massive clouds of dust. Michaela the monkey loses her bananas, Percy the polecat gets tumbled over, and the spiders have their carefully spun webs crashed into. To his neighbors, poor Corbus is just a bothersome pest. 
   
  “Why are you always running so fast?” they shout. 
  Corbus doesn't mean to cause trouble; he just loves to run! But everything changes on the day the land faces its greatest terror: a raging, unstoppable wildfire. As the flames crackle and the lightning strikes the dry earth, the elephants, lions, birds, and bees scurry in panic. The fire moves too fast for them to escape. 
  Only one animal has the speed to outrun the roaring heat. 
  In a heartwarming display of bravery, Corbus turns his greatest trait into a lifesaving gift. Scooping up the injured monkey, offering his back to the polecat, and letting the baby spiders spin their sticky silk right onto his fur, Corbus races against the storm to carry his jungle family to the safety of the rocky outcrop. Packed with high-stakes adventure, gentle humor, and profound heart, Corbus Saves His Friends is an unforgettable audio journey.
