Download or read book The Ptarmigan s Dilemma written by John Theberge and published by McClelland & Stewart. This book was released on 2011-04-05 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2010 Lane Anderson Award Drawing on breakthrough research in evolution, genetics, and on their extensive work in the field and lab, wildlife biologists John and Mary Theberge explain for non-scientists the real facts of life. Birds that suddenly grow gall bladders, when their species has none. Moose with antlers so big they encumber their movement through the forest. Butterflies that risk extinction by overwintering en masse. These are just a few stories the Theberges tell in their examination of what the mechanisms of evolution are and how they work. With examples from the very latest discoveries in genetics and ones they have made in their own field work, The Ptarmigan's Dilemma is a ground-breaking explanation of evolution for non-scientists. By marrying the separate sciences of ecology and genetics, the Theberges paint a picture far richer than either discipline can alone of how, for almost 4 billion years, life on Earth has evolved into the rich diversity that's under threat today. Along the way, they explain just what "the survival of the fittest" really means, how dramatic evolutionary changes can take place in just one generation, and how our too-little knowledge of or interest in how life on Earth organizes and supports itself is rapidly making us a danger to ourselves.

Download or read book The Koryak written by Waldemar Jochelson and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 886 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 18th century, researchers and scientists have traveled the peninsula of Kamchatka in the Russian Far East. Many of them were of German origin and had been commissioned by the Russian government to perform specific tasks. Their exhaustive descriptions and detailed reports are still considered some of the most valuable documents on the ethnography of the indigenous peoples of that part of the world. These works inform us about living conditions and particular ways of natural resource use at various times, and provide us with valuable background information for current assessment. As the first profound anthropological descriptions of that region, the publications of the Jesup North Pacific Expedition, undertaken in the first years of the 20th century, marked the beginning of a new era of research in Russia. They represented a shift of the already existing transnational research networks toward North America. Jochelson’s work The Koryak was an important milestone for Russian and North American anthropology that provides to this day a unique contribution to thoroughly understanding the cultures of the North Pacific rim.

Book excerpt: Neil and Sarah are the ultimate happy couple. Until, that is, Neil’s new job leaves Sarah alone to juggle the baby, domestic drudgery, and her own career. When Neil fails to come home one night, Sarah rushes home to her mother, who has always wished that Sarah had married her childhood sweetheart, the fabulously rich lawyer Colin, who has coincidentally reappeared in her life. The stage is set for divorce, but Neil has other ideas. Distraught at the prospect of losing Sarah and recognizing what an idiot he has been, he enrolls in an experimental “School for Husbands,” a clinic aimed at helping hopeless spouses mend their ways. But will its intensive tuition in everything from emotional self-expression to putting the toilet seat down be enough to get Neil back together with his wife? Not if Colin and Sarah’s mother have anything to do with it.

This book was released on 2023-11-26 with total page 4812 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Works of Jack London: Novels, Short Stories, Poems, Plays, Memoirs & Essays is a comprehensive collection that showcases the diverse talents of the iconic American author. Jack London's works, known for their naturalistic themes and vivid storytelling, capture the essence of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This collection includes his well-known novels like 'The Call of the Wild' and 'White Fang', as well as his lesser-known essays and plays, providing readers with a complete picture of London's literary genius. London's writing style is engaging and thought-provoking, offering insights into the human condition and the wild beauty of nature. His works stand the test of time and continue to inspire readers around the world. Jack London, a prolific writer and adventurer, drew inspiration from his own experiences as a seaman, laborer, and gold prospector. His socialist beliefs and love for the wilderness shaped his writing, leading to the creation of some of the most enduring works in American literature. London's passion for social justice and exploration infuses his writing with a sense of urgency and authenticity. I highly recommend The Works of Jack London to any reader interested in literature that explores the depths of human nature and the untamed beauty of the natural world. London's timeless works continue to resonate with readers of all ages, making this collection a must-read for anyone looking to delve into the mind of one of America's greatest storytellers.
