Sinopsis

Flamingo Facts explores the captivating biology of flamingos, revealing how their unique traits are interconnected adaptations shaped by their environment. These iconic birds offer insights into broader ecological principles, such as nutrient cycling in aquatic ecosystems and the evolution of specialized feeding habits. One intriguing fact is that a flamingo's vibrant pink hue comes from carotenoid pigments found in their diet of algae and crustaceans. Another fascinating aspect is their ability to stand on one leg for extended periods, a behavior linked to minimizing muscular effort.

 
The book progresses logically, beginning with an introduction to the flamingo family and its evolutionary history. It then delves into the science behind their pink coloration, the biomechanics of their one-legged stance, and their specialized feeding habits.

 
The book emphasizes the importance of conservation, addressing the challenges flamingos face due to habitat loss, pollution, and climate change. By focusing on a single species, Flamingo Facts illustrates broader principles of adaptation and conservation, making it a valuable resource for nature enthusiasts and anyone curious about the natural world.

    Dogs are the family we choose. They are dirty and toothy, but we let them into our homes and onto our beds.
    From Carl Phillips asking how wildness is tamed, to Esmé Weijun Wang finding moments of stillness in the simple act of observing her dog, to Cal Flyn befriending a sled dog called Suka in Finland, here we see dogs at every stage of their life.
    This anthology promises to bring joy and delight, and surprising depth and poignancy. It goes beyond the damp noses and wagging tails and gets to the heart of what makes dogs our true lifelong companions. These essays are sometimes toothy, sometimes bloody, and sometimes gentle: much like our four-legged furry friends.

    If it seems like everyone you know is playing Dungeons & Dragons, it's because they are! After nearly five decades, the iconic roleplaying game is more popular than ever. Famous Hollywood actors and directors, therapists, educators, politicians, kids, parents, and grandparents all count themselves as fans. In Welcome to Dragon Talk, hosts of the official D&D podcast Shelly Mazzanoble and Greg Tito and their surprising guests show how this beloved pastime has amassed a diverse, tight-knit following of players who defy stereotypes. 
     
     
      
    Shelly and Greg recount some of their most inspiring interviews and illuminate how their guests use the core tenets of the game in everyday life. An A-list actor defends D&D by baring his soul (and his muscles) on social media. A teacher in a disadvantaged district in Houston creates a D&D club that motivates students to want to read and think analytically. A writer and live-streamer demonstrates how D&D–inspired communication breaks barriers and empowers people of color. Listeners will see why Dungeons & Dragons has remained such a pop culture phenomenon and how it has given this disparate and growing community the inspiration to flourish and spread some in-game magic into the real world.

    This audio was created to support compulsive gamblers, as well as their families and friends affected by their gambling. 
    The most compelling endorsement for the program is that "it works." 
    Our aim is to emphasize that gambling can be an illness for certain individuals, known as "compulsive gambling." Gamblers Anonymous promotes the message that there is an alternative to the destructive cycle of compulsive gambling, and that alternative is the Gamblers Anonymous program. 
    Many compulsive gamblers have successfully recovered from this illness by ceasing their gambling habits and achieving a normal way of life.
