Megalodon The: The History and...

Editors Charles River

As scary as the shark in Jaws is, the extinct megalodon had teeth three times the length of those found within the jaws of a great white shark, so a human would only have been a small snack. In fact, the megalodon was capable of swallowing a small car. Known to scientists as Otodus megalodon or Carcharocles megalodon (otodus meaning “tooth shaped like an ear”; carcharocles meaning “well known for jaggedness”; and megalodon meaning “big tooth”), this predator lived approximately 23–3.6 million years ago), from the early Miocene Epoch to the early Pliocene Epoch. The genus name Otodus and the family name Otodontidae are now the most commonly used, but scientific literature remains full of the older designation, and many of the shark experts regard the new family designation as flawed.  
	For many years, megalodon was thought to be more closely related to the great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias), and though both are still part of the order Lamniformes, the two species now reside in different families: Lamnidae and Otodontidae (megalodon). Either way, while great white sharks can reach sizes of 20 feet long and nearly 2.5 tons in weight, the average megalodon was twice as big, and some of them may have been about three times as big. The sheer size allowed it to target prey as big as whales, and the massive jaw allowed it to simply tear through any kind of body with no regard for the prey’s most vulnerable spots.  
	While all of that seems to be beyond dispute, almost everything else about the history of the megalodon is up for debate, from its origins to its extinction.  The Megalodon: The History and Legacy of the World’s Largest Prehistoric Predator covers that expansive history in detail, from what is known to what remains most mysterious.

Extinctions - How Life Survives...

Michael J. Benton

Cutting-edge techniques across biology, chemistry, physics, and geology have transformed our understanding of the deep past, including the discovery of a previously unknown mass extinction. This compelling evidence, revealing a series of environmental crises resulting in the near collapse of life on Earth, illuminates our current dilemmas in exquisite detail. 
 
 
 
Beginning with the oldest, Professor Michael J. Benton takes us through the "big five" die outs: the Late Ordovician, which set the evolution of the first animals on an entirely new course; the Late Devonian, apparently brought on by global warming; the cataclysmic End-Permian, also known as the Great Dying, which wiped out over 90 percent of all life on Earth; the newly discovered Carnian Pluvial Event; and the End-Cretaceous asteroid. He examines how global warming, acid rain, ocean acidification, erupting volcanoes, and meteorite impact have affected conditions on Earth, and how life survived, adapted, and evolved. 
 
 
 
In Extinctions, listeners will learn about revolutionary new tools used to uncover ancient extinction events and processes in forensic detail, and how scientists are improving our understanding of the deep past. New research allows us to link long-ago upheavals to crises in our current age, the Anthropocene, with important consequences for us all.

The Permaculture Home Garden -...

Gertrude Harris

In recent years, there has been a growing shift toward sustainable living, and one of the most impactful ways individuals can contribute to environmental stewardship is through permaculture. The Permaculture Home Garden Design and Implementation is designed to guide you through the principles and practices that can transform your home garden into a self-sustaining, ecologically balanced ecosystem. This book is for anyone, whether you are a seasoned gardener or just beginning, who is interested in creating a space that not only provides food but also nurtures the environment.
Permaculture, at its core, is a design system rooted in natural ecosystems, aiming to meet human needs while regenerating the planet. It goes beyond organic gardening by integrating every element of your home and garden—plants, animals, structures, and even human activities—into a cohesive whole. By observing the natural world, permaculture teaches us how to mimic the processes found in nature to create systems that are productive, resilient, and low-maintenance.
One of the central ideas of permaculture is that a sustainable garden doesn’t need to be a constant source of stress and hard labor. Instead, it’s about working with nature’s rhythms, understanding the needs of your plants and animals, and fostering an environment where they can thrive with minimal external inputs. By applying the permaculture principles to your home garden, you will create a space that grows food, builds soil health, conserves water, supports biodiversity, and ultimately reduces your reliance on outside resources.
This book will help you start from the very beginning, guiding you through an in-depth exploration of permaculture principles and their practical application. You will learn how to assess your land, plan your garden using thoughtful design, and implement solutions that foster long-term ecological health.
