This book was released on 2011-03-23 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The bones recovered from the middens of the northeastern Pacific shorelines have important stories to tell biologists, marine mammalogists, and those concerned with marine conservation. This volume unearths a wealth of information about the historical ecology of seals, sea lions, and sea otters in the North Pacific that spans thousands of years. It provides fascinating insights into how the world once looked, and how it may one day look again as seals, sea lions, and sea otters reclaim and recolonize their former haunts.”—Andrew Trites, Director, Marine Mammal Research Unit, University of British Columbia “Braje and Rick have assembled a compelling set of case studies on the long-term and complex interactions between people, marine mammals, and environments in the Northeast Pacific. The promise of zooarchaeology as historical science is on full display, as researchers use geochemistry, aDNA, morphometrics, and traditional analytic methods to address questions of utmost importance to the long-term health of coastal ecosystems. If this book doesn't convince conservation biology about the need to take the long view of animal histories and ecosystems into account in developing conservation management plans, I'm not sure what will.”—Virginia L. Butler, Department of Anthropology, Portland State University

Book excerpt: SEALS & SEA LIONS are found in all the world's oceans, although they are at their most abundant in the coldest regions. The warmer seas such as the Caribbean and the Mediterranean have only a few left. Some have even become isolated in fresh water; the Baikal seal lives in a vast freshwater lake far from any other seals and endures some of the harshest winter conditions on Earth. From seals to sea lions, as well as the walruses and manatees, is a pictorial celebration of these engaging mammals who have adapted to life both on land and in the water under a variety of different climates and conditions. Covered in detail are adaptations to life in water, streamlining and movement, keeping warm, molting, the senses, and descriptions of the specific characteristics of the various species and races. Illuminating in both words and remarkable pictures, SEALS & SEA LIONS is just one title in the acclaimed Creatures of the Ocean series.
