The Hidden World of the Fox
Author: Adele Brand
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 006296612X
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
Discover the hidden world of the fox, as beautifully revealed by an acclaimed ecologist who has studied foxes for two decades across four continents “An ode to this familiar yet mysterious creature. … The sight of foxes can lift Brand's prose into poetry. ... By turns lyrical, salty, funny and scholarly.” —New York Times Book Review The fox. For thousands of years myth and folklore have celebrated its cunning intelligence. Today the red fox is the nature’s most populous carnivore, its dancing orange tail a common sight in backyards. Yet who is this wild neighbor, truly? How do we negotiate this uneasy new chapter of an ancient relationship? Join British ecologist Adele Brand on a journey to discover the surprising secrets of the fabled fox, the familiar yet enigmatic creature that has adapted to the human world with astonishing—some say, unsettling—success. Brand has studied foxes for twenty years across four continents—from the Yucatán rainforest to India’s remote Thar Desert, from subarctic Canada to metropolitan London. Her observations have convinced her that the fox is arguably the most modern of all wildlife, uniquely suited to survival in the rapidly expanding urban/wild interface. Blending cutting-edge science, cultural anthropology, and intimate personal storytelling drawn from her own remarkable fieldwork, The Hidden World of the Fox is Brand’s rich and revelatory portrait of the extraordinary animal she has devoted her life to understanding.

Nature's Calendar
Author: Colin Rees
Publisher: Johns Hopkins University Press
ISBN: 1421427435
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
Take an enchanting journey through the shifting seasons in a wildlife sanctuary home to wetland, forest, and grassland and supporting an incredible diversity of plants and animals. Flocks of waterfowl exploding into steely skies above frozen marshland, salamanders creeping across the forest floor to vernal pools, chorusing frogs peeping their ecstasy while warblers crowd budding trees, turtles sunning on floating logs, the ecological engineering of beavers—these are but a few of the sights and sounds marking a year at Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary and its neighboring landscapes in Southern Maryland. In an absorbing account of a year in the life of this sanctuary, naturalist Colin Rees invites us to join him as he explores the secrets and wonders of the changing natural world. Alongside the author, we witness spring's avian migrations, quickening of aquatic vegetation, burgeoning of myriad invertebrates, and the assaults of extreme weather conditions. We revel in summertime's proliferation of fish, fowl, and mammals. We become attuned to the shifting climate's impacts on autumnal transitions, and we marvel at amazing feats of biological inventiveness in preparation for winter conditions. Through these visions of the fleeting—and yet enduring—cycles of nature, Rees shares deep insights into the ecological and behavioral dynamics of the natural environment. Enhanced by more than two dozen color plates, the book touches on a wide range of issues, from microbial diversity, bird banding, and butterfly phenology to genetic diversity and habitat fragmentation. It also examines the challenges of conserving these and other natural features in the face of climate change and development pressures. Thoughtful and lyrical, Nature's Calendar speaks to all readers, scientific and lay alike. Fascinating profiles of flora and fauna celebrate the richness and complexity of a unique ecosystem, exploring the entire ecology of this dynamic and delicate area.

Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
ASDF MPE represents a roadmap in addressing the multiple issues facing Autism, Psychopaths, Pedophiles and COVID. Autism can be a scary word, and any misdiagnosis can be catastrophic to your child's cognitive or learning ability. What is Autism, when your child can't read, or has behavioral issues? Climbing the autistic ladder from Sensory, to Creative and finally Cognitive depends on your child's particular birth defect. Yes, a birth defect could be hormonal, biochemical, sensory, attitude or cognitive. Autism may not reveal itself until the second grade, where learning becomes a monumental stumbling block. How you approach your child's education often requires specialized medical or psychological care. Psychological Care attempts to understand how your child's brain works, because Autism is a broad spectrum of Sensory, Creative and Cognitive roadblocks. i've included several examples, charts to fill out, case studies, my own personal experiences and what strategies work best. Autism consists of 11 senses, where most normal people have 5. These 11 senses often branch off into Psychopaths and Pedophiles, which I explain in great detail. Recognizing each of these 11 senses offers a better understanding of your child's character, behavior, interests or personality. Autism is a birth defect, afflicting the Endocrine system, brain and many sensory receptors within the nervous system. Being a birth defect, Parents and School Administrators must documented and design your child's educational curriculum, so to better accommodate a successful learning experience.
