Book excerpt: Excerpt from Links in the Chain: Or Popular Chapters on the Curiosities of Animal Life, by George Kearley With Illustrations by F. W. Keyl If Dr. Livingstone, in the course of his African explorations, were to light upon some such nation of mannikins as that discovered at Lilliput by Mr. Lemuel Gulliver of famous memory, the announcement of the fact could hardly occasion greater surprise and astonishment than was felt by the philosophers of the last century at the remarkable disclosures of the microscope, with respect to the countless multitudes of minute forms of organic life which, unseen by our feeble powers of vision, people the waters of the earth, and swarm around us on every side. The microscope has here revealed the existence of a new world of living beings, before unknown and unsuspected. It has shown that the water of our roadside ditches, and stagnant pools, of our lakes and streams, and of the sea itself, teems with various races of microscopic beings, many of which arc so inconceivably minute, and abound in such amazing profusion, that thousands of them may often be detected in a drop of fluid taken up on the point of a pencil, while, within tho narrow dimensions of a lady's thimble, we might easily collect together a number far exceeding that of the entire human population of the globe.

Book excerpt: Mary Roach meets Bill Bryson in this "surefire summer winner" (Janet Maslin, New York Times), an uproarious tour of the basest instincts and biggest mysteries of the animal world Humans have gone to the Moon and discovered the Higgs boson, but when it comes to understanding animals, we've still got a long way to go. Whether we're seeing a viral video of romping baby pandas or a picture of penguins "holding hands," it's hard for us not to project our own values--innocence, fidelity, temperance, hard work--onto animals. So you've probably never considered if moose get drunk, penguins cheat on their mates, or worker ants lay about. They do--and that's just for starters. In The Truth About Animals, Lucy Cooke takes us on a worldwide journey to meet everyone from a Colombian hippo castrator to a Chinese panda porn peddler, all to lay bare the secret--and often hilarious--habits of the animal kingdom. Charming and at times downright weird, this modern bestiary is perfect for anyone who has ever suspected that virtue might be unnatural.
