Book excerpt: ** 2011 Cybils Book Award Nominee in Poetry ** In this long-awaited sequel to her first Barking Spiders book, CJ Heck continues her journey to help children experience life through poetry with her unique blend of humor, insight and with an understanding that, like adults, children wish to make sense of the world they live in. And when it still doesn't make sense she helps them see, that's okay, too, because it doesn't always make sense. "This is magical -- children's poetry at its very best." Karen Lynn Vidra (Texas) "CJ has the innate gift of seeing the world through the eyes of a child." Jude Forese "CJ gets right into kids' minds with her wonderful writes." George Carroll "CJ's understanding of, and ability to enter into, the mind of a child is apparent in every page of her children's poetry. Her devotion to and expertise in writing poetry is in my opinion, second to none." Russell Daily (Co-founder and co-owner of FX Signalmaster LLC) "CJ Heck is a marvelous writer with the ability to capture the imagination of children of all ages. Her work is a delightful blend of realism and whimsy that is always a pleasure to read and share with others." Felix Perry (Author) "CJ provides great entertainment to our clients and their families through her books. We share them with our real estate clients who have young children." Chip & Sue Parrish (Owners, Keller Williams Classic Properties, Columbus OH) "When I was a child I thought as a child and I spoke as a child. CJ Heck has never forgotten what it is like to be a child. She writes for children so they can understand, learn and enjoy the imagination given to them and grow." John A. Roof (Artist, Author)

Download or read book Arthropods and Human Skin written by John O'Donel Alexander and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To the entomologist all insects have six legs; the layman tends to use the term "insect" to include the eight-legged spiders and mites. All these creatures are correctly classified as arthropods. Many thousands of the hundreds of thousands of recognised species of arthropods are found in the human environment-domestic, occupational and rec reational. Those species which are obligate parasites of man, the human scabies mite and the head and body lice, produce familiar clinical syndromes. They remain important in medical practice and have been the subject of a great deal of recent research. This is beginning to throw much light on the immunological mechanisms which largely determine the reactions of the host. Dr. Alexander has provided a detailed survey of this work. The wasps, bees, ants and other Hymenoptera which may sting man in self-defence can cause painful, even fatal reactions. The recent work on this important subject has also been thoroughly reviewed. Every dermatologist of experience will admit that he sees many patients in whom he makes a diagnosis of "insect bites", if he has the confidence to do so, or of "papular urticaria" or "prurigo" when he lacks such confidence, mainly because he is at a loss to know which arthropod is likely to be implicated. In his survey of the enormous literature in the entomological, public health and dermatology journals Dr. Alexander has provided an invaluable guide in which the solutions to these clinical mysteries can be sought.

Download or read book Spider Webs written by William Eberhard and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2020-12-22 with total page 679 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this lavishly illustrated, first-ever book on how spider webs are built, function, and evolved, William Eberhard provides a comprehensive overview of spider functional morphology and behavior related to web building, and of the surprising physical agility and mental abilities of orb weavers. For instance, one spider spins more than three precisely spaced, morphologically complex spiral attachments per second for up to fifteen minutes at a time. Spiders even adjust the mechanical properties of their famously strong silken lines to different parts of their webs and different environments, and make dramatic modifications in orb designs to adapt to available spaces. This extensive adaptive flexibility, involving decisions influenced by up to sixteen different cues, is unexpected in such small, supposedly simple animals. As Eberhard reveals, the extraordinary diversity of webs includes ingenious solutions to gain access to prey in esoteric habitats, from blazing hot and shifting sand dunes (to capture ants) to the surfaces of tropical lakes (to capture water striders). Some webs are nets that are cast onto prey, while others form baskets into which the spider flicks prey. Some aerial webs are tramways used by spiders searching for chemical cues from their prey below, while others feature landing sites for flying insects and spiders where the spider then stalks its prey. In some webs, long trip lines are delicately sustained just above the ground by tiny rigid silk poles. Stemming from the author’s more than five decades observing spider webs, this book will be the definitive reference for years to come.
