  More than one hundred species of kingfishers brighten every continent but Antarctica. Not all are fishing birds. They range in size from the African dwarf kingfisher to the laughing kookaburra of Australia. This first book to feature North America's belted kingfisher is a lyrical story of observation, revelation, and curiosity in the presence of flowing waters. 
   
   
   
  The kingfisher—also known as the halcyon bird—is linked to the mythic origin of halcyon days, a state of happiness that Marina Richie hopes to find outside her back door in Missoula, Montana. Epiphanies and a citizen science discovery punctuate days tracking a bird that outwits at every turn. The female is more colorful than the male (unusual and puzzling) and the birds' earthen nest holes are difficult to locate. 
   
   
   
  While the heart of the drama takes place on Rattlesnake Creek in Missoula, the author's adventures in search of kingfisher kin on the lower Rio Grande, in South Africa, and in London illuminate her relationships with the birds of Montana. In the quiet of winter, she explores tribal stories of the kingfisher as messenger and helper, pivotal qualities for her quest. For all who love birds or simply seek solace in nature, Halcyon Journey is an inviting introduction to the mythic and mysterious belted kingfisher.

  Sex Drugs and Sea Slime - The...

  When viewed from a quiet beach, the ocean, with its rolling waves and vast expanse, can seem calm, even serene. But hidden beneath the sea’s waves are a staggering abundance and variety of active creatures, engaged in the never-ending struggles of life—to reproduce, to eat, and to avoid being eaten. With Sex, Drugs, and Sea Slime, marine scientist Ellen Prager takes us deep into the sea to introduce an astonishing cast of fascinating and bizarre creatures that make the salty depths their home. From the tiny but voracious arrow worms whose rapacious ways may lead to death by overeating, to the lobsters that battle rivals or seduce mates with their urine, to the sea’s masters of disguise, the octopuses, Prager not only brings to life the ocean’s strange creatures, but also reveals the ways they interact as predators, prey, or potential mates. And while these animals make for some jaw-dropping stories—witness the sea cucumber, which ejects its own intestines to confuse predators, or the hagfish that ties itself into a knot to keep from suffocating in its own slime—there’s far more to Prager’s account than her ever-entertaining anecdotes: again and again, she illustrates the crucial connections between life in the ocean and humankind, in everything from our food supply to our economy, and in drug discovery, biomedical research, and popular culture. Written with a diver’s love of the ocean, a novelist’s skill at storytelling, and a scientist’s deep knowledge, Sex, Drugs, and Sea Slime enchants as it educates, enthralling us with the wealth of life in the sea—and reminding us of the need to protect it.

  Exobiology - Life Beyond Earth

  The origins of life on Earth remain one of the most profound scientific mysteries. While no definitive answer exists, several compelling theories attempt to explain how life first emerged from non-living matter. Understanding these origins is crucial to the study of exobiology, as it provides insight into how life might arise elsewhere in the universe. 
  One widely accepted hypothesis is abiogenesis, which suggests that life arose from simple organic compounds through natural chemical processes. The famous Miller-Urey experiment in 1953 demonstrated that amino acids, the building blocks of life, could form under conditions similar to those of early Earth. These experiments, combined with discoveries of organic molecules in space, suggest that life’s precursors may have been abundant in the early solar system. 
  The conditions on early Earth were vastly different from today. Around 4 billion years ago, the planet was a harsh, volcanic world with a thick atmosphere composed of methane, ammonia, hydrogen, and water vapor. Lightning, ultraviolet radiation, and hydrothermal vents may have provided the necessary energy to drive complex chemical reactions, leading to the formation of self-replicating molecules like RNA. The RNA world hypothesis proposes that RNA, due to its ability to both store genetic information and catalyze chemical reactions, was a key player in the transition from simple molecules to living cells.
