  From sheepdogs to wombats to coyotes to jellyfish, animals serve important biological roles in the world. But those who love animals know there's more. We know our connection to other creatures is more than fur, scale, or feather deep. 
   
   
   
  In Saints of Feather and Fang, writer and lifelong animal lover Caryn Rivadeneira looks at the ways that animals—from the pets who share our homes to the mysterious creatures of the deep—serve as spiritual guides for our hearts, minds, and souls. 
   
   
   
  Christian scripture teems with mammals, birds, and reptiles, and research on animals' sensory responses suggests that we not only care for our beloved animals but they, at times, care for us. A therapy pony who visits stroke victims, a rescued pit bull who shows restraint, hedgehogs that scurry down highways made just for them: these stories offer entrée to tender, whimsical, and deeply theological reflection on creaturely delight, instinct, curiosity, adaptation, fear, and awe. In them we discover and connect with the God who beckons, rescues, and shelters us with stretched-out wings.

  Cetology, the scientific study of cetaceans—whales, dolphins, and porpoises—plays a vital role in understanding the complexities of marine ecosystems. This branch of marine biology delves into the behaviors, anatomy, physiology, ecology, and conservation of these magnificent creatures. The field's significance extends beyond simply observing and classifying different species; it also serves as a lens through which we can better comprehend the delicate balance of life in the ocean and the various environmental pressures influencing it. 
  The study of cetology has captivated scientists and marine enthusiasts alike for centuries. Early observations of cetaceans were often based on myths, folklore, and a limited understanding of the creatures' biology and behavior. However, as marine exploration advanced and the field of marine science grew, researchers began to focus on the detailed study of cetaceans, uncovering insights into their complex lives. The 19th and 20th centuries brought with them key developments in cetological research, including advancements in the identification of different species, the discovery of migration patterns, and breakthroughs in understanding cetacean communication. 
  Cetology covers a vast range of topics, from the anatomical and physiological traits that make cetaceans uniquely adapted to life in water to their social structures and interactions within pods. The study of cetacean communication, including their use of sound to navigate, hunt, and socialize, has proven to be one of the most fascinating aspects of cetology. Researchers have discovered that whales and dolphins use a complex system of vocalizations, clicks, and whistles, which play a critical role in their survival and social organization.

  Pompeii - History of the Roman...

  Pompeii was an ancient Roman city situated near modern-day Naples in the Campania region of Italy, within what is now the comune of Pompei. It thrived as a bustling urban center until the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. This violent explosion buried Pompeii, along with the neighboring cities of Herculaneum and several luxurious villas in the surrounding countryside, including those at Boscoreale and Stabiae, beneath a thick blanket of volcanic ash and pumice. The depth of this sudden entombment ranged from four to six meters (13 to 20 feet), sealing the city and its inhabitants in a chilling moment of suspended animation.  
  When excavations began centuries later, Pompeii revealed itself as an unprecedented time capsule of Roman life. The city was preserved in remarkable detail, offering a rare and invaluable glimpse into the daily routines, architectural styles, and cultural expressions of its people. However, the early excavations, conducted with rudimentary methods, often led to the destruction of crucial evidence. Despite these losses, Pompeii remains one of the most well-documented archaeological sites, providing scholars with insights into the lives of Romans that would have otherwise been lost to history.

  A Nobel Prize-winning physicist explains what happened at the very beginning of the universe, and how we know, in this popular science classic.  Our universe has been growing for nearly 14 billion years. But almost everything about it, from the elements that forged stars, planets, and lifeforms, to the fundamental forces of physics, can be traced back to what happened in just the first three minutes of its existence.In this book, Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg describes in wonderful detail what happened in these first three minutes. It is an exhilarating journey that begins with the Planck Epoch - the earliest period of time in the history of the universe - and goes through Einstein's Theory of Relativity, the Hubble Red Shift, and the detection of the Cosmic Microwave Background. These incredible discoveries all form the foundation for what we now understand as the "standard model" of the origin of the universe. The First Three Minutes examines not only what this model looks like, but also tells the exciting story of the bold thinkers who put it together.  Clearly and accessibly written, The First Three Minutes is a modern-day classic, an unsurpassed explanation of where it is that everything really comes from.
