Summary

Diving Predators explores the captivating world of air-breathing marine animals that hunt underwater, examining their unique adaptations and crucial role in ocean ecosystems. The book reveals how creatures like penguins, seals, and cormorants have evolved remarkable physiological traits to thrive in challenging aquatic environments. These diving predators demonstrate sensory adaptations, such as enhanced vision, and physiological adaptations that allow them to conserve oxygen and withstand immense pressure.

 
The book progresses logically, starting with the principles of diving physiology, then exploring case studies of predator groups and their hunting methods. The book then considers their ecological role and conservation challenges.

 
By integrating diverse research from behavioral ecology to oceanography, Diving Predators provides a holistic understanding of these animals, highlighting the impact of climate change and overfishing on their survival and foraging behavior.

Navigating the Challenges of...

PhD Adrian M. Svingos, PhD Donna...

Concussion is one of the most common neurological conditions, with many people having experienced at least one concussion within a lifetime. Concussion has been the focus of great media attention which has brought awareness to this important health issue. While most have heard about athletes and concussions, these injuries can occur at any age and can have many causes such as car accidents and falls. 
 
 
 
In Navigating the Challenges of Concussion, expert clinicians and researchers in the fields of neurology and neuropsychology teamed together to provide up-to-date and evidence-based information for patients and families affected by concussion or those at increased risk of sustaining concussions. Topics covered include how concussion is different from other forms of brain injury, what to expect after a concussion, and what to do if symptoms are persisting. The authors explore extensively the common misconceptions around the treatment of concussion, and instead offer evidence-based guidance to follow instead. Special considerations for children and students, athletes, employees, military personnel, and older adults are discussed. Patient stories are included throughout which highlight some of the experiences that patients with concussion may face and may relate to their own concussion journey.

Lost Wonders - 10 Tales of...

Tom Lathan

Read by the author, Tom Lathan.In Lost Wonders author and journalist Tom Lathan tells the powerful stories of ten species that have lived, died out and been declared extinct since the turn of the twenty-first century.Many scientists believe that we are currently living through the Earth’s sixth mass extinction, with species disappearing at a rate not seen for tens of millions of years – a trend that will only accelerate as climate change and other pressures intensify. What does it mean to live in such a time? And what exactly do we lose when a species goes extinct?In a series of fascinating encounters with subjects that are now nowhere to be found on Earth – from giant tortoises to minuscule snails the size of sesame seeds, from ocean-hopping trees to fish that wag their tails like puppies – Lathan brings these lost wonders briefly back to life and gives us a tantalising glimpse of what we have lost within our own lifetime.Drawing on the personal recollections of the people who studied these species, as well as those who tried but ultimately failed to save them, Lost Wonders is an intimate portrait of the species that have only recently vanished from our world and an urgent warning to hold on all the more tightly to those now slipping from our grasp.
