Searle Ruth: The Intertidal Zone / B

The Intertidal Zone

Life on the Edge

'Revelatory' WILLIAM GIBSON 'Each page is full of wonder and surprise' STEVE BRUSATTE 'Magic' TOM MUSTILL A transporting exploration of the deep sea, and how our planet's strangest, most ancient and astonishing creatures have urgent relevance to cutting-edge science today. Hundred-year-old giant clams, coral kingdoms the size and shape of cities, and jellyfish that glow in the dark: ocean invertebrates are among the oldest and most diverse organisms on Earth, seeming to bend the rules of land-based biology. Although sometimes unseen in the deep, these incredible spineless creatures contain 600 million years of adaptation to problems of disease, energy consumption, nutrition, and defence. Marine ecologist Dr Drew Harvell takes us diving from Hawaii to the Salish Sea, from the Caribbean to Indonesia, to uncover the incredible underwater 'superpowers' of spineless creatures: we meet corals many times stronger than steel or concrete, sponges who create potent chemical compounds to fight off disease, and sea stars who garden the coastlines, keeping all the other nearby species in perfect balance. As our planet changes fast, the biomedical, engineering and energy innovations of these wondrous creatures hold ever more important secrets to our own survival. The Ocean's Menagerie is a tale of biological marvels, a story of a woman's passionate connection to an adventurous career in science and a call to arms to protect the world's most ancient ecosystems.

How Earth's Strangest Creatures Reshape the Rules of Life

The Ocean's Menagerie

Did you know an octopus can fit through a gap as small as a dime, but some can grow longer than a school bus? Or that some species pack enough poison to kill humans within minutes? Or that they can problem-solve, navigate mazes and open locks, and that they can even have a favorite toy? With their remarkable behaviors and unique anatomy, it's hardly surprising that octopuses have captivated our imagination for centuries. But there is so much more to this misunderstood and spellbinding creature. Unravel the secrets of this astonishing animal and explore its mystifying world with&nbsp;The Little Book of the Octopus. With this book, you will discover how octopuses utilize their three hearts and blue blood, how their highly developed nervous system endows them with extraordinary intelligence, how they regenerate their limbs, and so much more. Learn about the rich folklore and myths that surround them, from ancient maritime legends to symbolic meanings across cultures, and journey through their diverse habitats and history. Whether you're a marine biology enthusiast or just curious about these astounding cephalopods, dive in and uncover the magic and mystery of the octopus.

An Introduction to the Mysterious and Fascinating World of One of Earth’s Most Complex Creatures

The Little Book of the Octopus

Routledge Environmental History

Providing an in-depth exploration into the rivers of Habsburg Galicia (part of Austrian Poland) in the 19th century, this volume combines analysis of historical hydrographic data with modern GIS and remote sensing tools.Considering geographical and historical factors, this book draws on both natural processes and human activities to analyse how river valleys function and highlight contemporary challenges relating to water resource management in the context of climate change. This collection is divided into four sections: Rivers, Flow, Control and Economy. The first section consists of studies on rivers in Galicia from geographical, borderland, legislative and literary perspectives. The second section deals with the floods that regularly affected Galicia in the 19th and 20th centuries, causing significant economic and social damage, providing pertinent parallels with current issues in the context of climate change. The third section analyses the actions of the state and autonomous authorities, aimed at controlling rivers through regulation, the construction of flood embankments and the drainage of wetlands. The final section includes studies on the role of rivers in the economic life.This is a detailed and fascinating examination for scholars and students interested in Eastern European environmental history, hydrology, environmental management and water resource governance, and environmental economics.

Traffickers. Hit men. Outlaws. Thieves . . . Our planet is a crime scene - but can we catch the killers? Enter a world where people are murdered, ecosystems are destroyed, organised criminals terrorise communities and corporate gangsters operate outside the law. And, closely following their every move, are teams of secret agents, vigilantes and scientists who are fighting for our planet's future. Using insider sources and her expertise as a criminal psychologist, Julia Shaw takes us deep into some of the worst environmental crimes of our time. She reconstructs the minds of the perpetrators in cases like the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the Dieselgate emissions scandal and the Shuidong wildlife crime syndicate. From the Amazon forest to South African gold mines, she follows the impact of green crimes right to our doorsteps and meticulously profiles the work of the heroes bringing these criminals to justice. Shaw asks: how do the Earth's killers think? What makes their crimes so deadly? And how can we stop them from stealing our future? Green Crime is the most far-reaching murder mystery ever told.

The Only Flag Worth Flying

Sixty bizarre and beautiful marine creatures offer affirmations for self-confidence, serenity, and fulfillment—drawn from real-life facts about our fascinating natural world. If you sometimes wish you could sink back into the depths of the ocean, great news—the strange little guys who still live down there will receive you with open arms (and fins, claws, and tentacles). But if you’re not quite ready to take to the sea, these friendly denizens of the deep offer solid advice for living on dry land, such as the following: <ul><li>“If you’re happy and you know it, digest your brain.”—The star tunicate, who avoids anxiety by digesting much of its own body </li><li>“Never be afraid to set—and enforce—your boundaries.”—The gloomy octopus, who protects its personal space by throwing dirt at anyone who bothers it </li><li>“It’s good to get it all out.”—The fire-breathing shrimp, who vomits bioluminescent goo when threatened </li><li>“If you love someone, absorb them into your bloodstream.”—The fanfin anglerfish, who expresses love by fusing with its mate </li><li>And more wonderfully wacky undersea weirdos who really know how to live! </li></ul> Beautifully illustrated with striking watercolor portraits of the ocean’s most eccentric creatures, Leaving the Ocean Was a Mistake will make you long to return to the seas—but it will also help you bring a freewheeling, relaxed, self-actualized ocean spirit to even the driest life.

Sixty bizarre and beautiful marine creatures offer their best tips for self-confidence, serenity, and fulfillment drawn from real-life facts about our fascinating natural world.
