Sinossi

Animal Families explores the fascinating world of animal parenting and family dynamics, shedding light on the diverse strategies species use to raise their offspring. From the vast differences in parental investment, such as a hummingbird's solitary care versus an elephant herd's cooperative approach, to the evolutionary advantages of cooperative breeding in challenging environments, the book showcases the intricate social structures underpinning the next generation. Understanding these family behaviors is crucial, especially considering environmental factors like resource availability and predation risks that profoundly impact animal social behavior.

 
The book progresses logically, starting with fundamental concepts of reproductive strategies and family formation, dedicating chapters to specific animal groups like mammals, birds, and insects. It delves into unique parenting behaviors, from penguins incubating eggs in Antarctic blizzards to chimpanzees teaching survival skills.

 
Ultimately, Animal Families provides a comprehensive overview of animal family life, bridging biology, ecology, and animal behavior, by presenting scientific research and behavioral observations in an accessible style for anyone interested in nature and science.

Invisible No More - Voices from...

Raymond Foxworth, Steve Dubb

For too long, Native American people in the United States have been stereotyped as vestiges of the past, invisible citizens in their own land obliged to remind others, "We are still here!" Yet today, Native leaders are at the center of social change, challenging philanthropic organizations that have historically excluded Native people, and fighting for economic and environmental justice. 
 
 
 
Invisible No More is a collection of stories by Native American leaders, many of them women, who are leading the way through cultural grounding and nation-building in the areas of community, environmental justice, and economic justice. Authors in the collection come from over a dozen Native nations. While telling their stories, authors excavate the history and ongoing effects of genocide and colonialism. At the same time, the authors detail ways that listeners might imagine the world differently, presenting stories of Native community building that offer benefits for all. 
 
 
 
In a world facing a mounting climate crisis and record economic inequality, Invisible No More exposes the deep wounds of a racist past while offering a powerful call to care for one another and the planet. Indigenous communities have much to offer, not the least of which are solutions gleaned from cultural knowledge developed over generations.
