Sinossi

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.

    From Dr. Schott’s 30 years in veterinary practice come over 60 heartwarming, funny, and adorable stories about angry pelicans, bug-eyed goldfish, and plenty of cats and dogs 
    		 
    In the third book in this bestselling series, we meet the oddest creatures, from an escaped newt to a baby snow leopard, but the focus is on the dogs and cats that make up most of a pet vet’s day and on the wacky and wonderful people who bring them in.
    		 
    Dr. Schott also pulls back the curtain on what it’s really like to be a veterinarian. Do some vet students faint at the sight of blood? (Yes.) Is it easier for vets to bring their own pets in for procedures? (No.) Did the pandemic change veterinary practice? (Yes, and how.)
    		 
    You will also learn how to bathe a dog, why some rats love cats, why Dr. Schott is afraid of parrots, and a surprising way for a dog to accidentally get drunk. And, of course, you will meet Supercat, the Siamese kitten with the mightiest lungs.

    Joshua Slocum was the first man to sail around the world alone in a small boat. He personally rebuilt an 11.2 metre sloop-rigged fishing boat that he named the Spray. On April 24, 1895, he set sail from Boston, Massachusetts. More than three years later, he returned to Newport, Rhode Island, on June 27, 1898 having circumnavigated the world, a distance of 46,000 miles (74,000 km). 
    In 1899 he described the voyage in Sailing Alone Around the World now considered a classic of travel literature. It is a wonderful adventure story from the Age of Sail and a book of which Arthur Ransome declared, "boys who do not like this book ought to be drowned at once". (Summary by Alan Chant and Wikipedia)
