The city of Hannibal, Missouri, is steeped in history. The boyhood home of Mark Twain, this sleepy town on the western banks of the Mississippi River, holds many stories and more than a few secrets. Nearly 50 years ago, three boys went to explore Hannibal's famous caves and mysteriously vanished. The case was never solved and eventually became part of the town's folklore. Detective Booger McClain is brought in by a client hoping to bring new life to the case, and what the private investigator learns is more than either of them knows how to handle. You see, caves hold secrets. Bizarre, dangerous, and other-worldly secrets. Detective McClain thinks he knows what happened. Now, the story just needs to be told.

This book is an exciting reappraisal of the role and practice of biodiversity monitoring, showing how new technologies and software applications are rapidly maturing and can both complement and maintain continuity with the best practice in traditional field skills.Environmental monitoring is a key component in a large number of national programmes and constitutes an important aspect of understanding environmental change and supporting policy development. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Monitoring Biodiversity begins by discussing monitoring as an established field and examines the various budgetary and technological challenges. It examines different methodologies, the variation between countries, and the design features relevant to understanding monitoring systems created for new policy goals or different funding situations. The huge variety of methods revealed across 18 chapters, which vary from statistical designs to remote sensing, interviews, surveys, and new ways of stacking and combining data and thematic information for visualization and modelling, underlines just how mature and multifaceted the modern practice of monitoring can be. It concludes with several problem-based chapters that discuss the design and implementation of environmental monitoring in specific scenarios such as urban and aquatic areas. All chapters include key messages, study questions, and further reading.With a focus on Europe but with international relevance, Monitoring Biodiversity will be an essential resource for students at all levels of environmental monitoring, assessment, and management.

June 7, 1992, is the day that changed Springfield, Missouri, forever. That's when the "three missing women," also known as "the Springfield Three," disappeared without a trace.The day before was one of celebration for Stacy McCall and Suzie Streeter, for that was when they graduated from Kickapoo High School. June 7 was supposed to be light-hearted and fun for the new graduates as they planned a trip to a water park in Branson with several of their classmates. Following a night of parties, the young women made a late-night, last-minute decision to sleep at Suzie's house - the home of her mother, Sherrill Levitt. It was a fateful decision because by the morning of June 7, the three women had vanished and were never seen again.
