Sinopsis

Fish Rain Happens explores the astonishing phenomenon of fish and other aquatic creatures falling from the sky. It examines the science behind these bizarre weather events, specifically focusing on waterspouts and their ability to transport marine life inland. Did you know that historical accounts of "fish rain" date back centuries, long before modern meteorology could explain them? The book delves into the mechanics of waterspouts, revealing how they can lift objects and the surprising resilience of some aquatic organisms. This book uniquely combines meteorology, ecology, and history to offer a comprehensive understanding of this rare natural phenomenon, and how it challenges conventional understanding of atmospheric events and ecological boundaries.

 
The book begins by explaining the atmospheric conditions that lead to waterspouts. It then explores documented "fish rain" events, examines the biology of the transported creatures, and analyzes the implications for inland ecosystems. This interdisciplinary approach makes complex topics accessible, appealing to a wide audience interested in nature, earth sciences, and geography.

Wonderdog - The Science of Dogs...

Jules Howard

Almost everywhere there are humans, there are dogs. But what do dogs know and understand of the world? Do their emotions feel like our own? Do they love like we do? What do they think of us? 
 
 
 
Since our alliance first began, our relationship with dogs has evolved considerably. In order to gauge where our relationship with dogs goes from here, author and zoologist Jules Howard takes a look at the historical paths we have trod together, and at the many scientists before him who turned their analytic eye on their own four-legged companions. 
 
 
 
Charles Darwin and his contemporaries toyed with dog sign language and made special puzzle boxes and elaborate sniff tests using old socks. Later, the same questions drove Pavlov and Pasteur to unspeakable cruelty in their search for knowledge. Since then, leagues of psychologists and animal behaviorists have built upon the study of dogs and their much-improved methods have fetched increasingly important results. 
 
 
 
With the help of vets, ethologists, neurologists, historians and his own dogs, Wonderdog reveals the study of dogs to be key in the advancement of compassion in scientific research, and crucial to making life on Earth better for all species.
