Beschreibung

Underground Animals unveils the hidden world beneath our feet, exploring the fascinating biology of creatures adapted to subterranean ecosystems. The book examines how these animals, from burrowing owls to naked mole rats, have evolved unique sensory adaptations to navigate in darkness and specialized digging apparatuses. Understanding these subterranean habitats is crucial, as they play vital roles in soil health and nutrient cycling, contributing significantly to overall environmental stability. The book delves into the adaptation, social organization, and ecological impact of these often-overlooked animals. For example, the complex social structures of ant colonies and naked mole rat societies reveal sophisticated levels of cooperation and organization. These animals also contribute to aerating the soil and dispersing seeds, underscoring their importance in maintaining healthy ecosystems. Underground Animals progresses from an introduction to subterranean habitats to in-depth explorations of adaptation, social structures, and ecological roles, culminating in a discussion of conservation challenges and strategies. The narrative non-fiction approach makes complex concepts accessible, appealing to anyone interested in biology, nature, or environmental science. By synthesizing existing research and presenting real-world examples, the book highlights the interconnectedness of ecological systems and the need to protect these vital, yet vulnerable, subterranean environments for conservation.

Dog Training and Behaviour...

Various Authors

A collection of articles, based on modern science, using force free and fear free methods
Solutions to common issues from pre-puppy to adulthood

The book is a compilation of articles written by these professionals on various aspects of puppy and dog ownership, care, training, and managing and treating behavior problems. As such, you do not need to read the book cover to cover, but the articles are compiled in such a way that it will take you through in a sensible order if that’s what you wish to do. Alternatively, you can skip to whichever issue you wish to look up and read articles about it. If previous knowledge of a preceding article is required, it is usually mentioned in the article you’re reading.

A Collaboration of Force-Free Professionals
It is good to see some articles referring back to others written by a different author, proving that this is indeed a collaboration between like-minded professionals and the advice isn’t coming from a singular source.
All of the writers do well at maintaining an overall ‘tone’ but of course, they write as individuals so you do get different voices. You may find you prefer some to others.

Despite a generally professional voice, the tone is friendly, and at (appropriate) times, humorous. From a grammar perspective, it is well written, so easy to read.

Something for Everyone
Some of the articles are brief and provide a quick and easy read; others are more lengthy, but the formatting and editing breaks them up well with subheadings making the text much easier to take in.
The advice is well presented without complex jargon and easy for anyone to take in, from people brand new to dog training to seasoned professionals looking for another way of presenting their information or an alternative method. Easy to understand anecdotes and comparisons help people to understand their dogs’ perceptions of situations.

Together We Can - 33 Marathons...

Peter Baines OAM

Together We Can is the inspiring story of an amazing feat. On 1st of December 2024, at the age of 58, Peter Baines set off in the extreme heat and humidity from the north of Thailand to run 1400km over 26 days, averaging 60kms per day. Peter's goal was to raise $1 million. Peter Baines had been a leading forensic investigator with the NSW Police before he was deployed to Bali in 2002 after the bombings, and then to Thailand after the Boxing Day tsunami. It was during the aftermath of the tsunami that Peter started the Hands Across the Water charity. The biggest impact upon Peter during his work in Thailand was meeting a group of Thai children orphaned by the tsunami. Returning to Australia, Baines made a commitment to support these 32 children who were living in the tent in the grounds of a Buddhist temple. The initial objective of the Hands Across the Water was to build a home for these children, and it was this first home that marked the finishing line of the Run to Remember, exactly 20 years to the day of the tsunami. Together We Can is not a story of one man s 20-year commitment to children and communities in need. Nor is it simply a story of physical achievement the likes of which many simply cannot comprehend. It is the celebration of what can be achieved together. It is the celebration of the best of humanity, through what were often the most difficult times.One of the main learnings from this incredible feat of endurance (running the equivalent of 33 marathons in 26 days) was that although Peter was the only person who completed the run, it took a team to get him across the finishing line. The lessons are invaluable for businesses, organisations and sports teams and it is these lessons that remain with Peter (and hopefully the reader) long after the blisters have healed.
