Beschreibung

Butterfly Migration Marvels explores the extraordinary multi-generational journey of monarch butterflies, highlighting their incredible navigational abilities and the ecological challenges they face. The book reveals how these delicate creatures, weighing less than a gram, undertake a migration of thousands of miles, returning to the same overwintering sites as their ancestors. Discover how scientists unraveled the mystery of the monarch's disappearance, including the use of polarized light and the Earth's magnetic field for navigation.

 
The book takes an integrated approach, delving into the science of monarch migration, from their navigational mechanisms and physiological adaptations to the ecological pressures they face. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of genetics, behavior, and ecology in understanding this complex system. Habitat loss, climate change, and pesticide use pose significant threats to monarch populations, making conservation efforts crucial.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the monarch and the basics of migration, then exploring navigational science and finally examining ecological challenges and conservation strategies.

    Philosophical essays on the beauty and meaning of traditional Japanese gardens.
     
    In Japanese gardens, composition follows from placement of the first stone; all elements and plantings become interconnected. These eight essays on Kyoto gardens similarly begin with keen description and build into richly meditative excursions into art, Buddhism, nature, and science. 
     
    Landscape architect Marc Keane shows how Japanese gardens are both a microcosm of the natural universe and a clear expression of our humanity, mirroring how we think, worship, and organize our lives and communities. Filled with passages of alluring beauty, this is a truly transcendent book about "experiencing" Japanese design.

    Writing Landscape

    Inhabiting a landscape, walking a landscape, writing a place and time. 
    Linda Cracknell is a writer of place and nature who believes in being alert, observing, and writing from the particulars of each experience. Engaging bodily with her writing, she is someone for whom getting mud on her boots, sleeping high up in the hills, or being slapped by salt water can all be part of her process. She follows Susan Sontag's advice to “Love words, agonize over sentences and pay attention to the world.”  
    In this varied collection of essays, Linda backpacks on a small island that is connected to the mainland at low tide, musing on the nineteenth-century Scottish writer whose character was shipwrecked there. She hikes the wooded mountain trail close to her home in winter snow—a place she is intimately familiar with in all weathers and seasons—and she retraces the steps of a multiday hike made almost seven decades after her parents trod the route together. She explores her inspirations, in nature and from other artists and their work.  
    Reading this collection will open your eyes to the world around you and how you can observe, take note, and later commit those notes and memories to written pieces that will evoke the place and time.

    Whether you have already played craps or want to play craps for the first time, it’s hard to learn how to play when you’re on a live game. Craps is fast-paced, which leaves little time for casino staff or even your buddies to tell you what is going on. 
    The author of Get Dicey wrote this book for all players. As a craps dealer in Las Vegas, Nevada, the author introduced countless people to the game, but a busy casino is no place to try and explain how to play craps. Now, in Get Dicey, everything about craps is revealed. It’s all true. 
    Going to a casino is about having fun. Of course winning is the most fun, but you also want to fit into the exciting atmosphere. The game of craps is steeped in tradition and there are points of etiquette to observe as a matter of politeness to other players. Also, because craps is such a hands-on game for the players, there are rules the casino will enforce. It’s best to know them. 
    In fact, the craps scene is so interesting, the chapter from Get Dicey about game etiquette and protocol was featured in Midwest Gaming & Travel magazine. 
    This 2 hour and 40 minute audiobook goes through every bet on the table chapter by chapter. Get Dicey then provides detailed instructions for advanced forms of craps play known as power pressing. An entire chapter is dedicated to the mathematics of probability to explain the house advantages on every bet so that you can understand which bets have the least house advantage and which ones are nearly guaranteed to take your money.
