Download or read book Walking Sideways written by Judith S. Weis and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2012-10-23 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world's nearly 7,000 species of crabs are immediately recognizable by their claws, sideways movement, stalked eyes, and thick outer shells. These common crustaceans are found internationally, thriving in various habitats from the edge of the sea to the depths of the ocean, in fresh water or on land. Despite having the same basic body type as decapod crustaceans-true crabs have heavy exoskeletons and ten limbs with front pincer claws-crabs come in an enormous variety of shapes and sizes, from the near microscopic to the giant Japanese spider crab. In Walking Sideways, Judith S. Weis provides an engaging and informative tour of the remarkable world of crabs, highlighting their unique biology and natural history. She introduces us to recently discovered crabs such as the Yeti crab found in deep sea vents, explains what scientists are learning about blue and hermit crabs commonly found at the shore, and gives us insight into the lifecycles of the king and Dungeness crabs typically seen only on dinner plates. Among the topics Weis covers are the evolution and classification of crabs, their habitats, unique adaptations to water and land, reproduction and development, behavior, ecology, and threats, including up-to-date research. Crabs are of special interest to biologists for their communication behaviors, sexual dimorphism, and use of chemical stimuli and touch receptors, and Weis explains the importance of new scientific discoveries. In addition to the traditional ten-legged crabs, the book also treats those that appear eight-legged, including hermit crabs, king crabs, and sand crabs. Sidebars address topics of special interest, such as the relationship of lobsters to crabs and medical uses of compounds derived from horseshoe crabs (which aren't really crabs). While Weis emphasizes conservation and the threats that crabs face, she also addresses the use of crabs as food (detailing how crabs are caught and cooked) and their commercial value from fisheries and aquaculture. She highlights other interactions between crabs and people, including keeping hermit crabs as pets or studying marine species in the laboratory and field. Reminding us of characters such as The Little Mermaid's Sebastian and Sherman Lagoon's Hawthorne, she also surveys the role of crabs in literature (for both children and adults), film, and television, as well in mythology and astrology. With illustrations that offer delightful visual evidence of crab diversity and their unique behaviors, Walking Sideways will appeal to anyone who has encountered these fascinating animals on the beach, at an aquarium, or in the kitchen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When you dive into the sea, do you ever wonder what's down there, beneath you, poised to take an inquisitive bite? Author of Jaws Peter Benchley and film director Steven Spielberg certainly did, for below the waves lies a world we neither see nor understand; an alien world where we are but the briefest of visitors. The Shark that Walks on Land uncovers tales of ancient and modern mariners, with stories of sea serpents, mermaids and mermen, sea dragons, and the true identity of the legendary kraken. But this book contains more than just a medley of maritime myths and mysteries for marine biologists; it celebrates wonderful discoveries by blending the unknown and the familiar in an entertaining miscellany of facts, figures and anecdotes about the myriad creatures that inhabit the oceans. Along the way we meet the giants, the most dangerous, the oddballs and the record breakers – and the shark that really does walk on land!
Download or read book Wynds Over Wylusing written by Gayle Carson and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confronted with her own demise, Martha Rutledge (Avia) must reveal to her granddaughter how small and interconnected the world is, and what their responsibility is in preserving it. Avia spirits Tallis to the site of Azilum-colonial America's refuge for French Royalists. There, she tells the story of the second son of Marie Antoinette, Louis-Charles XVII. Smuggled from Temple Prison in Paris to the asylum along the Susquehanna River, he is raised by Jesuits along "The Great Warrior Path" to the Carolina Lowcountry. Grown, Charlie becomes an esteemed associate of the elite in Philadelphia when it is the site of America's capitol. Wynds Over Wylusing is Charlie's story. In 2001, scientific advances enable mtDNA testing to prove the remains in the Bourbon burial chapel to be those of Marie Antoinette's son. However, only the Rutledges have the final key to the puzzle and know the truth of the American connection to Louis-Charles XVII, which they are challenged to protect. The rest of the world continues to misrepresent Charlie's life based on a myriad of legends and false claims about the Bourbon heir. The delightful personalities in Wynds Over Wylusing will jump to life for readers amid panoramic scenery and revolutionary historical connections of early eastern United States and France from 1795 until the present and stay with them long after they have put the book down.
