Download or read book Migration The Biology of Life on the Move written by Davis Hugh Dingle Professor in the Department of Entomology and Center for Population Biology University of California and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1996-01-18 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Migration is one of the most fascinating and dramatic of all animal behaviors. Historically, however, the study of migration has been fragmented, with ornithologists, entomologists, and marine biologists paying little attention to work outside their own fields. This treatment of the subject shows how comparisons across taxa can in fact illuminate migratory life cycles and the relation of migration to other movements. The book thus takes an integrated ecological perspective, focusing on migration as a biological phenomenon. The work is divided into four parts, each with a brief introductory section. Part I defines migration, gives examples, and places migration in the spectrum of movement behaviors, concluding with a chapter on methods for its study. Part II focuses on proximate mechanisms, including physiology and morphology (and the constraints associated with them), the interactions between migration and wind and current patterns, and the various orientation and navigation mechanisms by which migrants find their way about. Part III on the evolution of migratory life histories addresses the evolutionary and ecological basis for migration and the roles of migration not only in the lives of organisms, but also in the ecological communities in which they live. Part IV is devoted to a brief consideration of migration and its relation to pest management and conservation. As a major contribution to a vital subject, this work will be valued by all researchers and students in the field of animal behavior, ecology, and zoology.
Download or read book A 10 Thunderbolt II Units of Operation Enduring Freedom 2008 14 written by Gary Wetzel and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-08-20 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The untold story of A-10 units in Operation Enduring Freedom reaches its conclusion with this second of two volumes focusing on the type's combat missions in Afghanistan. Featuring numerous first-hand accounts and photography from those who experienced the conflict, along with imagery from official military archives, this book offers a unique and detailed insight into the record of the A-10 in one of the 21st Century's most significant conflicts. Initially, the A-10 Thunderbolt was not a favourite of the USAF, which, prior to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990, was hoping to shunt this Cold War relic onto the US Army and Marine Corps. But since then the 'Warthog', with its formidable armament, ruggedness and flexibility, has continually proven itself in combat and evolved into the world's premiere close support aircraft. In 2002 the Thunderbolt was at the forefront of Operation Enduring Freedom, the US occupation of Afghanistan.

Download or read book Searching Sand Crabs in the Dark written by Terry Douglas and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-03 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Searching Sand Crabs in the Dark recounts a journey inward-a spiral down-of someone who has spent a career meeting the challenges of global chaos in the service of the government and private sector. Terry's experience of joy, loss, pain, and celebration, captured in the poems, is anchored in centering prayer-a prayer of silence and meditation. The spirituality of the Christian mystics-Meister Eckhardt, John Main, and Bede Griffiths-joins the inspiration of Sufism, Zen Buddhism, and Shamanism to create a life tapestry. From riding a crest of a wave in an ocean kayak crashing toward the shore, observing the unfolding of a rose from cramped quarters in Kabul, leaning into a Nor'easter and learning trust in the process, Terry brings the no-space of pre-utterance to the surface in the rhythm, color, and harmony of verse to form a portal back into the soul to re-discover Love.
