Synopsis

"Sky Hunters" explores the fascinating world of aerial predators, offering insights into their evolutionary adaptations, hunting strategies, and ecological roles. The book highlights how creatures like bats and kestrels have evolved unique skills to thrive in the aerial realm.

 
Did you know that some bats use echolocation, a sophisticated form of sonar, to navigate and capture prey in complete darkness? Or that kestrels can spot a grasshopper from over 50 feet away, thanks to their exceptional eyesight? This book delves into the biomechanics of flight, the sensory biology that allows for precise hunting, and the ecological importance of predator-prey relationships.

 
By integrating evolutionary biology with behavioral ecology, "Sky Hunters" emphasizes the interplay between physical adaptations and learned behaviors. The book progresses by first introducing the principles of flight, then exploring the adaptations of various species, detailing specific hunting strategies, and finally examining the ecological roles of these predators and related conservation efforts.

With One Hand Tied behind My Brain

Avrel Seale

Most would not expect a book about a stroke to be entertaining, but this memoir will force you to laugh through a tragedy, then cry, then laugh again.Avrel Seale was fifty, did not smoke or drink, had low blood pressure, and had hiked more than two hundred miles the year a stroke nearly ended his life. In an instant, he was teleported into the body of an old man—unbalanced, shaky, spastic, and half-paralyzed. Overnight, he was plunged into a world of brain surgeons, nurses, insurance case managers, and an abundance of therapists.Seale leads us through the harrowing day of his stroke and emergency brain surgery with minute-by-minute intensity. We then follow him through ICU, a rehab hospital, and a neuro-recovery group-living center, where we meet a memorable cast of other stroke survivors and also those recovering from auto accidents and gunshots. Finally home, Seale leads us through a new life of firsts, including returning to work, to driving, to playing guitar, to camping, and even to writing a book—all with one hand.What emerges from his humor (“elegant but devastating”) is a revealing critique of the hospital experience, the insurance industry, and rehab culture. And his nothing-off-the-table quest for recovery shows both the sobering struggles and inspiring possibilities of life after a stroke in twenty-first century America.
