Download or read book Paddles the Penguin written by Bonnie Turner and published by . This book was released on 2017-12-17 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A BABY PENGUIN SEARCHES FOR HIS MOTHER. One day at the South Pole, a baby penguin hatches from an egg. "My name is Paddles," he peeps to a big penguin. "Are you my mom?" "I'm your dad," replies the big penguin. "Your mother has gone fishing." "I'll find her and tell her I'm here," Paddles says, and dives into the water. It's the start of a great adventure for the little penguin! Paddles travels from the South Pole to the North Pole and back again, searching for his mother. He isn't sure where he's going, and some things are scary. He meets a shark with big sharp teeth and a growling polar bear, who both want to eat him! But he escapes and keeps moving. He asks everyone he sees if they are his mother, but there's nobody who looks like himself. When Paddles tries to ride a roller coaster home, a ticket lady makes him get off--he has no ticket, of course. When he gets tired and sleepy, he finds a comfy bed in a frozen-food case at a grocery store. Finally, he travels as far north as he can go and meets an Eskimo boy with a dogsled, who explains that penguins do not live at the North Pole. The boy shows him how to go back home and puts him on an ice floe. But the farther south it floats, the warmer the ice becomes. Then the ice melts. NOW what is Paddles going to do?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species is unquestionably one of the chief landmarks in biology. The Origin (as it is widely known) was literally only an abstract of the manuscript Darwin had originally intended to complete and publish as the formal presentation of his views on evolution. Compared with the Origin, his original long manuscript work on Natural Selection, which is presented here and made available for the first time in printed form, has more abundant examples and illustrations of Darwin's argument, plus an extensive citation of sources.

Download or read book Philosophy of Evolutionary Biology written by Stefan Linquist and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 652 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of evolutionary theory on the philosophy of science has been no less profound than its impact on the science of biology itself. Advances in this theory provide a rich set of examples for thinking about the nature of scientific explanation and the structure of science. Many of the developments in our understanding of evolution resulted from contributions by both philosophers and biologists engaging over theoretical questions of mutual interest. This volume traces some of the most influential exchanges in this field over the last few decades. Focal topics include the nature of biological functions, adaptationism as an explanatory and methodological doctrine, the levels of selection debate, the concepts of fitness and drift, and the relationship of evolutionary to developmental biology.
