Summary

Tree Canopies explores the largely unseen world of forest canopies, emphasizing their critical role in global ecology and biodiversity. This book delves into the architecture of these elevated ecosystems, examining how factors like tree species and environmental conditions affect canopy density and habitat complexity. You'll discover the incredible diversity of canopy inhabitants, from insects to mammals, each uniquely adapted to life amongst the leaves.

 
The book reveals how tree canopies contribute significantly to ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration and nutrient cycling. The book systematically progresses from basic canopy concepts to detailed analyses of specific ecosystems, integrating ecological, physiological, and evolutionary perspectives. A key insight is the importance of canopies in regulating local weather patterns and atmospheric gases, highlighting their connection to climatology and atmospheric science.

 
Tree Canopies draws on field research, remote sensing technologies, and ecological studies, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in nature, biology, and the conservation of these vital, but often overlooked, habitats.

    Feared, revered, respected, and beloved, cats have left an indelible paw print on the histories and civilizations of humankind. Over the last two million years, cats and people have interacted in diverse and unexpected ways, but the predecessors of today's furry friends were predators, not pets. 
 
Leading anthropologist Jerry Moore charts the cat's path from deadly enemy to improbable roommate. Moore journeys through our complicated history with these charismatic creatures. He travels along the Nile and across the Mediterranean, sailing on to South America, exploring pet cemeteries, cat mummies, and exquisite statuary across continents and centuries. 
 
This book surveys our relationships with cats from the Paleolithic period to the present day, unlocking the mysteries of these remarkable creatures. While cats are now beloved members of families around the world, our attempts to bring cats in from the cold have not always had happy endings, as Moore explores through such famous feline fanciers as Joe Exotic, Siegfried Fischbacher, and Roy Horn. From incredible archaeological finds to cave paintings, and from classical statues to contemporary social media, Cat Tales surveys ancient and modern interactions between humans and cats, wild and domestic, to ask a simple question: who domesticated who?

I highly recommend these years of teaching in this written word to those who want to grow well in Christ. -- Donna Arthur - Editor and Teacher -- Trinity EFC
