Sinopse

Turtles Return Home explores the fascinating science behind sea turtle navigation, revealing how these creatures traverse vast oceans to return to their natal beaches. Utilizing satellite tracking and biological research, the book uncovers the complex interplay of biological and environmental factors guiding their journeys. One intriguing insight is how turtles may use the Earth's magnetic field as a compass, a sense fine-tuned over generations. The book emphasizes that understanding turtle migration is crucial for effective conservation, allowing us to protect critical habitats and migratory corridors.

 
The book progresses by first introducing sea turtle biology and then delving into their sensory world, focusing on magnetic, olfactory, and visual cues. It then analyzes tracking data to understand long-distance migration and homing behavior. A unique aspect of the book is its analysis of large-scale satellite tracking data collected over decades. It connects marine biology with ecology and oceanography, providing a holistic view.

 
Ultimately, Turtles Return Home argues that sea turtle navigation is a multi-sensory process that requires a comprehensive approach for conservation. It highlights how factors like climate change and habitat degradation disrupt natural cues, impacting their ability to navigate. By bridging scientific rigor with accessible language, the book appeals to students, researchers, and anyone interested in marine life and environmental science.

Right Down + Circle: Tony Hawk's...

Cole Nowicki

An exuberant, incisive look at how Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater transformed a culture 
 
Going from a hobby toy for surfers to an Olympic sport, skateboarding has had a tumultuous history. Today, professional skateboarders land endorsement deals with Nike and Adidas, while popular television series like HBO’s Betty tell the stories of diverse crews of skaters living in New York City. So how did a fledgling subculture rise from its near-death knell in the ’90s to become ubiquitous today? It was simply a matter of finding the right messenger. 
 
In 1999, the bestselling video game Tony Hawk’sPro Skater was released, and a new generation was exposed to skateboarding culture right in their very own homes. Kids and adults alike could now spend hours playing as actual skateboarders, learning the vernacular, listening to the music skateboarders loved, and having fun onscreen before trying to skate IRL in the driveway. 
 
Right, Down + Circle explores how a video game starring the most famous pro skater in the world brought skateboarding culture ― and its ever-shifting markers of music, subversion, and coolness ― to the masses and ultimately transformed the culture it borrowed from in the process.

Stable Relation - A Memoir of...

Anna Blake

**2016 Readers' Favorite Gold Medal Award Winner* *National Indie Excellence Award Finalist** When most women go through a mid-life crisis, they start a diet, get plastic surgery, or have an affair. My life went to the dogs...and horses...and llamas... and did I mention happy hour with the goats?My urban world came apart, so I took a leap of faith and crash-landed on a dilapidated would-be horse farm on the flat, windy, treeless prairie of Colorado. It was a place where white horses turn pink at sunrise and I didn't have to worry about locking the back entry to the house, because the door was missing. The biggest social event of any week was greeting the trash man on Tuesday. And what should I do about the deceased llama in the laundry room?
Any decent midlife crisis has a quality of time travel, in this case swinging back to my childhood farm and my disconnected, secretive family, then forward to the animals who became my family on the prairie. My dogs and horses were soon joined by some line-dancing llamas and a biker-gang of goat kids, defying gravity and every other rule. I rescued an abused donkey who told me he was Ernest, and Windy, an un-wanted chestnut mare who became our beloved herd matriarch. Even Fred, the duck lived by a code.
It's the memoir of my bittersweet transition from a mid-life orphan to a modern pioneer woman, building an entirely different kind of family farm.
Stable Relation appeals to all animal lovers, midlife survivors, and anyone whose parents had problems of their own. It's told in a strong, bittersweet voice, sharing life and death on a small farm and the healing power of animals: James Herriot meets Janette Walls.
