Summary

'Shark vs Dolphin' offers a fascinating exploration of two of the ocean's most successful predators, examining how their distinct evolutionary journeys have shaped their survival strategies and behaviors. Through a systematic comparison of these marine giants, the book reveals how sharks, with their 400-million-year history, have perfected solitary hunting techniques, while dolphins have evolved sophisticated social structures and cognitive abilities over their 50-million-year existence in marine environments.

 
The book skillfully navigates through three main areas: physical adaptations, cognitive capabilities, and hunting methods, supported by recent satellite tracking studies and underwater observations. Readers discover intriguing contrasts, such as sharks' unique electroreception abilities versus dolphins' advanced echolocation systems, while learning how these differences influence their roles in marine ecosystems.

 
The text particularly shines in its analysis of how environmental pressures have produced two equally successful but drastically different approaches to marine predation. Moving from physical characteristics to complex social behaviors, the book presents technical concepts in accessible language, enhanced by detailed diagrams and underwater photography.

 
Drawing from multiple scientific disciplines, including marine biology and behavioral ecology, it offers valuable insights for both students and wildlife enthusiasts while addressing contemporary challenges like climate change and ocean pollution. This comprehensive approach makes the book an essential resource for understanding marine predator evolution and behavior, all while maintaining scientific rigor and engaging storytelling.

    What makes a penguin a bird? Is a camel more closely related to a horse than to a giraffe? Why is a whale not a fish? Similar puzzles preoccupied Charles Darwin throughout his life. Whimsy, in the playfulness of stories for children, is a way to appreciate Darwinian histories. 
In Do Elephants Have Knees? Charles R. Ault Jr. uses the fanciful imagery of story to explain Darwinian thought. At the same time, he launches careful consideration of Darwin’s humanity, the origins of his curiosity, and the reach of his ideas. 
Ault’s approach illustrates the value of story form in learning science and provides a wealth of resources for enriching courses that focus on Darwin’s ideas. “Good storytelling mines curiosity,” Ault writes, “and exuberant playfulness enriches a disciplined study of science.”

    From the #1 New York Times bestselling McElroy Brothers, creators of the hit podcasts My Brother, My Brother and Me and The Adventure Zone, comes a helpful and hilarious how-to podcast guide covering everything you need to know to make, produce, edit, and promote a podcast…and get rich* doing it! (*Results not guaranteed.) 
Justin, Travis, and Griffin McElroy made their names as “advice giving brothers who have no business giving advice” (New York Times) on the hit podcast My Brother, My Brother and Me. But while they may not have the best relationship or workplace advice, they certainly make you laugh, and they do know a thing or two about podcasting.   
In fact, the McElroy Brothers have spent the last decade making podcasts, including My Brother, My Brother and Me; The Adventure Zone; Sawbones; and more. From their start, independently producing and releasing the early episodes of My Brother, My Brother and Me, to their eleven currently available podcasts, the McElroys have become experts in creating successful podcasts. And now, they want to share what they’ve learned with you. 
In Everybody Has a Podcast (Except You), the McElroy Brothers will walk you through the process of turning an idea into ear-candy for legions of fans, sharing their expertise on everything from deciding on an effective name (definitely not something like My Brother, My Brother and Me), what type of microphone to use (definitely not one from the video game Rock Band), to making lots and lots of money (spoiler: you probably won’t). 
A must-listen for anyone interested in podcasting, Everybody Has a Podcast (Except You) shares the keys to success as well as the mistakes to avoid and draws on the vast experiences of three of the funniest and most successful podcasters working today.
