Download or read book The Essential Guide to Being Hungarian written by ISTVAN BORI and published by New Europe Books. This book was released on 2012-07-24 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is it to be Hungarian? What does it feel like? Most Hungarians are convinced that the rest of the world just doesn't get them. They are right. True, much of the world thinks highly of Hungarians--for reasons ranging from their heroism in the 1956 revolution to their genius as mathematicians, physicists, and financiers. But Hungarians do often seem to be living proof of the old joke that Magyars are in fact Martians: they may be situated in the very heart of Europe, but they are equipped with a confounding language, extraterrestrial (albeit endearing) accents, and an unearthly way of thinking. What most Hungarians learn from life about the Magyar mind is now available, for the first time, in this user-friendly guide to what being Hungarian is all about. The Essential Guide to Being Hungarian brings together twelve authors well-versed in the quintessential ingredients of being Hungarian--from the stereotypical Magyar man to the stereotypical Magyar woman, foods to folk customs, livestock to literature, film to philosophy, politics to porcelain, and scientists to sports. In fifty short, highly readable, often witty, sometimes politically incorrect, but always candid articles, the authors demonstrate that being credibly Hungarian--like being French, Polish or Japanese--is largely a matter of carrying around in your head a potpourri of conceptions and preconceptions acquired over the years from your elders, society, school, the streets, and mass media. Compacting this wealth of knowledge into an irresistible little book, The Essential Guide to Being Hungarian is an indispensable reference that will teach you how to be Hungarian, even if you already are.

Sharks: Pictures of Sharks - 50 Most Secret With Sharks Facts

     Sharks have adapted to living in a wide range of aquatic habitats at various temperatures. While some species inhabit shallow and coastal regions, others live in the open ocean, on the ocean floor and in deep waters. Like the bull shark, some species are even known to swim in fresh, salt, and brackish waters.

     Most sharks are especially active in the evening and night when they hunt. Some sharks swim over great distances to feed and breed. This can take sharks over entire ocean basins. Even some shark species are solitary, others shows social behaviour at various levels. The Hammerhead sharks, for instance, school in the time of mating season around seamounts and islands.

     Some shark species, like the great white shark, from below surprise their prey, usually seals and sea lions. Species that dwell on ocean floor have developed the ability to bottom-feed and others attack schooling fish in a feeding frenzy, while the large sharks like the whale and basking sharks filter feed by swimming through the ocean with their mouths open wide, do filtering large quantities of plankton and krill.

     Sharks mature slowly, and reach reproductive age anywhere from 12-15 years. This, combined with fact that many species only give birth to one or two pups at a time, means that the sharks have great difficulty recovering after their populations have declined.

Soon after birth, sharks pups swim away to fend for themselves. Sharks are born with fully-fledged sets of teeth and are able to feed and live on their own.
