FINANCIAL TIMES'The deepest of octopus books.' PETER GODFREY-SMITHAS HEARD ON BBC RADIO 4'S TODAY PROGRAMME_________________What is it like to be an octopus?The octopus is a highly intelligent and deeply mysterious creature. It can change colour as quickly as it can move, 'think' with its tentacles and communicate in sophisticated ways.Marine biologist David Scheel's lifelong preoccupation with these animals has led to a career of groundbreaking research, from finding previously unknown species to the discovery of signaling communication. In Many Things Under a Rock, Scheel shares his deep scientific understanding of octopuses and recounts his intrepid adventures with these mysterious, charismatic creatures.He investigates four major mysteries about octopuses: what can we know about such elusive and camouflaged creatures? Why are they so extraordinarily resilient? How do their bodies work? And what kind of relationships do they have? In unravelling these mysteries, Dr Scheel shows octopuses to be complex emotional beings and reveals what they can teach us about ourselves.

This tiny record of a historical event in our history is what Fish Culture in Yellowstone National Park is all about. Frank H. Tainter's father, uncles, and grandfather; all worked on fish culture details for the former U.S. Bureau of Fisheries in the park during the teens and 1920s. Their experiences provided the inspiration for this book. Frank never worked in the park on the fish culture program. He never would have been able to write this history if his father had not taken many photo snapshots of his experiences there. As a retired scientist, Frank tried to include as many references and resources credits as possible so that future readers and users could find more related materials. This book is intended as a sort of "in the trenches" record of a historical event and secondly for itsentertainment value.

This is an experiential book, it is an invitation back into your natural state of being. It takes you on a journey of reconnection of resewing yourself back into being nature-- step by step, so that by the end of the book, your threads are woven back in. And that weaving is something you do for you and for all of us, as it helps us collectively build a connective tissue that helps new solutions to our global problems to land. Our solutions must come from a rooted, not a separated, place. So enjoy the journey and let yourself deeply experience it. ReRoot leads you through the process with ease, creativity, and playfulness.

Earth's climate is changing. This book investigates the scientific, environmental, social, political, and economic aspects of climate change. It enables students to reach an informed opinion and encourages active engagement in finding solutions.It begins with a strong introduction to the scientific factors that drive natural and anthropogenic climate change and expands over three chapters to explore the impact of greenhouse gases on the distribution of solar energy across land, sea, ice, and air. The author examines geologically ancient climates in order to highlight possible future scenarios, and case studies from around the world highlight the impact of climate change on the physical and human environment. The final chapters investigate how society can respond to the challenges of climate change and overcome the political, social, and economic factors that are barriers to progress, focusing on the role of energy policy, fiscal policy, and risk assessment as a means to stimulate discussion about science, society, and the role of the media. Science is the foundation of any solution, but to turn this knowledge into action requires the application of a broad set of skills that are rooted in the liberal arts experience such as critical thinking, analytical thinking, problem solving, and communication.This textbook will be an essential resource for students taking courses in environmental geography, climate change, natural hazards, climatology, and meteorology.

Based on a meticulously updated examination of more than 8,000 references current through 2021, this second edition ensures Dodd's master work will remain an unparalleled resource for years to come.
