Synopsis

In this captivating book, we delve into the fascinating world of creepy crawlies, exploring the remarkable adaptations, ecological significance, and cultural impact of these often-overlooked creatures.

Embark on a journey of discovery as we unravel the secrets of these tiny beings, from their intricate exoskeletons and specialized senses to their diverse survival strategies and complex social structures. We will encounter ants that build elaborate colonies, bees that communicate through intricate dances, and butterflies that migrate thousands of miles.

More than just fascinating creatures, creepy crawlies play a vital role in maintaining the balance of our planet. As pollinators, they ensure the reproduction of countless plant species, including many of the crops we rely on for food. As decomposers, they break down organic matter, recycling nutrients back into the soil and supporting the growth of new life. And as a food source for birds, reptiles, amphibians, and other animals, they are an essential part of the food chain.

Our exploration of creepy crawlies also takes us on a journey through human history and culture. From the ancient Egyptians who revered scarabs as symbols of rebirth to the Japanese who view dragonflies as messengers of good luck, insects have held a prominent place in our collective consciousness. We will examine their depiction in art, literature, and film, and explore the role they have played in shaping our understanding of the natural world.

However, the world of creepy crawlies is not without its challenges. Habitat loss, climate change, and the use of pesticides pose significant threats to these small creatures. As we delve into the fascinating world of creepy crawlies, we also emphasize the urgent need for conservation efforts to protect their invaluable contributions to our planet.

Through this comprehensive guide, we aim to cultivate a deeper appreciation for the often-overlooked world of creepy crawlies. By understanding their remarkable abilities, their ecological importance, and their cultural significance, we can foster a greater respect for these tiny creatures that play such a crucial role in maintaining the health and vitality of our planet.

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR EPILEPSY YOU'RE NOT ALONE
Inspired by her own battles, Chillemi wrote a book to give those coping with the disorder greater self-esteem, hope, and motivation. -- Lad - Star-Ledger Newspaper
Life deals us many hard blows that we often don't expect. I admire the fact that someone like Stacey Chillemi was thrown a curveball that may have knocked many of us down to the point where many of us may not have wanted to get back up, but she did. It wasn't easy, but she possesses a determined spirit that won't let her give up. For that reason, Stacey will go far and achieve whatever dreams she sets her mind to accomplish. Della Crews Reporter -- Editorial Review -Anchor / Talk Show Host /News 12 NJ, Review
An important, clearly-written book with everything I've been looking for, for over 50 years since I was diagnosed with epilepsy. In particular, I'm able to explain to others things about me that I never knew before, as well as recommend this book. Thanks to the author for sharing her knowledge with the world.

When the Ice is Gone - What a...

Paul Bierman

In 2018, lumps of frozen soil, collected from the bottom of the world's first deep ice core and lost for decades, reappeared in Denmark. When geologist Paul Bierman and his team first melted a piece of this unique material, they were shocked to find perfectly preserved leaves, twigs, and moss. That observation led them to a startling discovery: Greenland's ice sheet had melted naturally before, about 400,000 years ago. 
 
 
 
In When the Ice Is Gone, Bierman traces the story of this extraordinary finding, revealing how it radically changes our understanding of the Earth and its climate. A longtime researcher in Greenland, he begins with a brief history of the island, both human and geological. For the origins of ice coring, Bierman brings us to Camp Century, a US military base built inside Greenland's ice sheet, where engineers first drilled through mile-thick ice and into the frozen soil beneath. Decades later, a few feet of that long-frozen earth would reveal its secrets—ancient warmth and melted ice. 
 
 
 
Changes in Greenland reverberate around the world, with ice melting high in the arctic affecting people everywhere. Bierman explores how losing Greenland's ice will catalyze devastating events if we don't change course and address climate change now.
