Summary

'Sea Pig Marvels' unveils the fascinating world of sea cucumbers, specifically focusing on the remarkable sea pigs that inhabit the ocean's deepest reaches. These soft-bodied creatures, found up to 6,000 meters below the surface, serve as crucial players in maintaining deep-sea ecosystem health through their unique feeding behaviors and biological adaptations.

 
The book expertly weaves together historical knowledge from the 1800s with cutting-edge research from modern deep-sea expeditions, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of these mysterious marine organisms. Through detailed exploration of sea pig biology, the text progresses from basic anatomy and physiology to complex behavioral patterns and ecological significance.

 
Readers discover how these animals have adapted to extreme pressure environments and function as natural recyclers of organic matter on the ocean floor. The book's approach combines high-resolution photographs and detailed illustrations with data from deep-sea cameras and sediment analysis, making complex scientific concepts accessible to both students and enthusiastic general readers.

 
The narrative bridges multiple scientific disciplines, demonstrating how sea pig behavior influences ocean floor chemistry and contributes to marine conservation efforts.

Searching for George Gordon...

Tom Huntington

A historian chronicles the life of the Union Civil War general while recounting his own unusual journey during his investigation into the past. Who was George Gordon Meade? He should be remembered as one of the Civil War’s most important generals. Instead, history has pushed him aside. The hot-tempered Meade received command of the Union’s dysfunctional Army of the Potomac only three days before he defeated Robert E. Lee’s Confederates at Gettysburg. After that, Meade watched his reputation decline, thanks in part to the escape of Lee’s army, hostility from politicians and the press, the machinations of Gen. Daniel Sickles, and the rise of Ulysses S. Grant. “I suppose after a while,” Meade once grumbled, “it will be discovered I was not at Gettysburg at all.” The Rodney Dangerfield of Civil War generals, Meade gets no respect—and author Tom Huntington wanted to find out why. In Searching for George Gordon Meade, he tells the story of the general’s life and his participation in the Civil War’s great engagements, from George McClellan’s Richmond Campaign to Appomattox. Huntington also provides accounts of his own investigations of Meade’s legacy. Along the way he hikes across battlefields, recites the names of fallen soldiers at a candlelit ceremony at Gettysburg, drinks a champagne toast at Meade’s grave on New Year’s Eve, and visits a severed leg, a buried arm, and a horse’s head. The result is a quirky and compelling mash-up of history, biography, travel, and journalism that casts new light on an overlooked figure from the past. Praise for Searching for George Gordon Meade“Unique and irresistible.” —Harold Holzer, chairman of Lincoln Bicentennial Foundation“Huntington’s wry, boisterous biography-within-a-travel journal . . . strives to remake the reputation of Meade and offers a compelling new way to approach biography.” —John G. Shelby, Meade: The Price of Command, 1863–1865 “It’s the rare reader who will not enjoy accompanying Huntington on his search for Meade.” —America’s Civil War "A refreshingly readable and well-researched book. . . . Searching for George Gordon Meade should be required reading for all those interested in Civil War history.” —Civil War News
