Beschreibung

Sharks, often portrayed as terrifying monsters, are in reality vital apex predators in marine ecosystems. Shark Science replaces these misconceptions with facts, delving into their sensory world and hunting strategies.

 
Sharks maintain biodiversity by controlling prey populations; their biology even offers insights for human medicine, such as studying their immune systems to advance disease treatment.

 
The book explores shark evolution, anatomy, and unique senses like electroreception, used for navigation and hunting. Different hunting styles, from ambush predation to cooperative hunting, are examined.

 
It also addresses the critical topic of shark conservation, focusing on threats like overfishing and habitat destruction. Shark Science aims to foster appreciation and stewardship by presenting scientific evidence and dispelling myths.

 
Starting with taxonomy and evolution, it progresses through sensory biology, behavior, and social interactions, ultimately addressing threats and conservation. The book draws from scientific literature, field research, and expert interviews to present an accurate picture of these remarkable creatures.

    Hope taught me the meaning of life, Tina taught me the meaning of love.  
    It's not everyday you meet a golden retriever in Thailand. 
    When Niall came across a dog shackled to a short chain and in a poor state of health something reminded him of his personal battle with addiction. He knew he had to rescue her immediately – golden retrievers are rare in Thailand – but there was just something about this dog in particular that told him she was destined for more. 
    He named her Tina, and what she did next is an incredible tale of survival, hope and love. Despite her terrible treatment at the hands of humans, she refused to distrust them or feel sorry for herself, and only opened her heart wider – always with a grin (yes dogs can smile) and a reassuring wag of her shaggy yellow tail. 
    From the minute Tina was free of her chains, she got on with what needed to be done, inspiring a dog hospital to be built and named after her and helping dogs from all over the world – whether they're street dogs from Thailand or rescue pups in Montana. The movement behind Tina has not stopped. 
    This is her story.

    - Single-use plastics are a big money-maker for the fossil fuel industry. 
    - They created the triangle symbol to make us think plastics will recycle, even though that can’t easily be done. 
    - Manufacturers choose not to invest in recycled packaging and materials. 
    - Virgin materials mined from Earth are cheaper and often subsidized. 
    - Technology exists to eliminate most of the greenhouse gas emissions they cause. 
    - It’s time to fight for the truth and take matters into our own hands. What we buy and how it’s made affects how well “reduce, reuse, and recycle” works. Using the power of our voices and wallets, we can make corporations change how they do business. 
    - They answer to us, the people who buy their products and invest in their stock. 
    - We can insist they take responsibility for the damage they cause.  
    - We have the power to fight climate change at home and in our cities. 
    - I don’t know about you, but I’m not ready to leave the health and well-being of my family in the hands of people who I hope will figure this mess out. 
    - We all need to change for the better of our planet and our lives. 
    - There are alternatives to buying disposable goods and packaging. 
    - Buy durable goods and reusable packaging to save money and the planet.  
    - Reduce and reuse packaging. First, eliminate plastic shopping bags.  
    - We can do things differently to change our eating and buying habits.

    In their escape from Boko Haram's reign of terror in Nigeria, Tani's family's journey to the United States was nothing short of a miracle. Then 8-year-old Tani started competing with his public school in the ultra-exclusive chess clubs of New York City – and winning. A true story of sacrificing everything for family and living with nothing but hope. 
    Tani Adewumi didn’t know what Boko Haram was or why they had threatened his family. All he knew was that when his parents told the family was going to America, Tani thought it was the start of a great adventure rather than an escape. In truth, his family’s journey to the United States was nothing short of miraculous—and the miracles were just beginning. 
    Tani’s father, Kayode, became a dishwasher and Uber driver while Tani’s mother, Oluwatoyin, cleaned buildings, while the family lived in a homeless shelter. Eight-year-old Tani jumped into his new life with courage and perseverance—and an unusual mind for chess. After joining the chess club in his public school, Tani practiced his game for hours in the evenings at the shelter. And less than a year after he learned to play, Tani won the New York State chess championship. 
    In this incredible book, you’ll discover:An inspirational true story of perseverance, hard work and loveAn eye-opening account of the threats from Boko Haram in Tani’s homeland of NigeriaThe true power of the miracles each one of us can do for one another 
    A young boy with an aptitude for chess? Absolutely. But if you ask Tani Adewumi, he will tell you he believes in miracles and one happened to him and his family. This story will inspire, delight, and challenge you to believe, too.
