Sinopse

"Turtle Life" delves into the fascinating world of turtles, exploring their remarkable 220-million-year survival story. This comprehensive book examines turtle biology, ecology, and conservation, offering readers a deep dive into the lives of these ancient reptiles. The book's central argument emphasizes turtles' crucial role in Earth's ecosystems and their importance as indicators of environmental health.

 
Structured in three main sections, the book progresses from turtle anatomy and physiology to their diverse habitats and specialized adaptations, and finally to the conservation challenges they face. It highlights intriguing facts, such as the evolution of their iconic shells and their ability to thrive in environments ranging from tropical seas to arid deserts.

 
Drawing on a wide range of scientific research, including field studies and genetic analyses, "Turtle Life" presents information in a clear, accessible style suitable for biology students, wildlife enthusiasts, and conservationists alike. What sets this book apart is its holistic approach, examining turtles as a group to reveal broader patterns in evolutionary biology and ecology.

 
By connecting turtle research to climate science, materials science, and cultural anthropology, it offers a unique interdisciplinary perspective that underscores the value of turtle conservation in our changing world.

    ‘Full of wonder and forensic intelligence’ Isabella Tree, author of Wilding 
    A moving account of Madagascar told by a researcher who has spent over fifty years investigating the mysteries of this remarkable island. 
    Madagascar is a place of change. A biodiversity hotspot and the fourth largest island on the planet, it has been home to a spectacular parade of animals, from giant flightless birds and giant tortoises on the ground, to agile lemurs leaping through the treetops. Some species live on; many have vanished in the distant or recent past. Over vast stretches of time, Madagascar’s forests have expanded and contracted in response to shifting climates, and the hand of people is clear in changes during the last thousand years or so. Today, Madagascar is a microcosm of global trends. What happens there in the decades ahead can, perhaps, suggest ways to help turn the tide on the environmental crisis now sweeping the world. 
    The Sloth Lemur’s Song is a far-reaching account of Madagascar’s past and present, led by an expert guide who has immersed herself in research and conservation activities with village communities on the island for nearly fifty years. Alison Richard accompanies the reader on a journey through space and time—from Madagascar’s ancient origins as a landlocked region of Gondwana and its emergence as an island to the modern-day developments that make the survival of its array of plants and animals increasingly uncertain. Weaving together scientific evidence with Richard’s own experiences and exploring the power of stories to shape our understanding of events, this book captures the magic as well as the tensions that swirl around this island nation. 
    Alison Richard's The Sloth Lemur’s Song is a captivating exploration of Madagascar's history and ecology. It delves into the effects of warming on the island's wildlife, making it a compelling read for those interested in nature and the sciences. 
    For fans of Andy Field (An Adventure in Statistics), Steve Brusatte (The Rise and Reign of the Mammals), Chris Packham (Earth), Orlando Figes (The Story of Russia), and George Monbiot (Regenesis).

    The UFO Experience - Evidence...

    The case against UFOs and unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) has not been put to rest. Although UFOs "officially" did not exist for decades according to the government, reports of sightings continue to be made, and the latest releases from the government and related hearings have surprised the world. While the scientific community has put UFOs out to pasture, the evidence used to dismiss them is rare and unscientific. 
     
     
      
    Dr. Hynek, a scientist himself, and the only government-paid ufologist in history, looks at the decisions made by officialdom in the early days of ufology and how these decisions have held us back—to the point that we are still naively talking about UFOs as we were in the 1950s. Has seventy years of research made no difference at all in our understanding? 
     
     
      
    Dr. Hynek proves that there is a conspiracy afoot to hide the facts and that there are many cases that still need to be explained by mainstream science—not dismissed with facile jokes and stupid logic. Citing specific cases, Hynek challenges those in the ivory tower by raising questions that have still not been answered and refuting mainstream arguments that have yet to be proven.
