Book excerpt: She can't deny her magic, and he can't deny her.Marci finds things, including a chicken she's suddenly adopted. Running her own magical PI business has never made her mother proud or her fiancé think her an equal, but at least it was hers. Led by magic that won't be ignored, she leaves everything behind to find out what the universe thinks is so important. Leaving an arranged marriage, a judge mental family, and a life she's never really fit into is a bonus. What she didn't count on was a ghost, an eerie forest, and a man that makes her blood boil.Caleb served in the special forces for the supernatural, only he's always been more comfortable with the humans rather than his own kind. The loss of his best friend had him running away to a sleepy mountain town, or was it something else that called him? He's always been a solitary kind of bear, until a woman falls into his life with a temperamental chicken.Can Marci get past this bear shifter's walls, or will Caleb let magic take her away?
Download or read book The Snowy Owl written by Eugene Potapov and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-01-17 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive monograph of the beautiful Snowy Owl, famed for its elegant, all-white plumage. The Snowy Owl needs little introduction. This massive white owl breeds throughout the Arctic, wherever there are voles or lemmings to hunt, from Scandinavia through northern Russia to Canada and Greenland. Southerly movements in winter see North American birds travel as far south as the northern United States, while infrequent vagrants on the Shetlands and other northern isles are a magnet for birders. The Snowy Owl gives this popular bird the full Poyser treatment, with sections on morphology, distribution, palaeontology and evolution, habitat, breeding, diet, population dynamics, movements, interspecific relationships and conservation, supported by some fabulous photography. The award-winning author team also had access to Russian research literature, which is generally out of reach for Western scientists.

Download or read book Climate written by Igor Linkov and published by Springer. This book was released on 2011-08-31 with total page 591 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rising sea levels and altered weather patterns are expected to significantly alter coastal and inland environments for humans, infrastructure and ecosystems. Potential land-use changes and population increases, coupled with uncertain predictions for sea level rise and storm frequency/intensity represent a significant planning challenge. While efforts to mitigate climate change continue, plans must be made to adapt to the risks that climate change poses to humans, infrastructure, and ecosystems alike. This book addresses integrated environmental assessment and management as part of the nexus of climate change adaptation. Risk analysis has emerged as a useful approach to guide assessment, communication and management of security risks. However, with respect to climate change, an integrated, multi-criteria, multi-hazard, risk-informed decision framework is desirable for evaluating adaptation strategies. The papers in Part 1 summarize societal and political needs for climate change adaptation. Part 2 includes papers summarizing the state of the art in climate change adaptation. Three further parts cover: the process of change in coastal regions, in inland regions, and, finally, the potential challenges to homeland security for national governments. Each of these parts reviews achievements, identifies gaps in current knowledge, and suggests research priorities.

Book excerpt: A disorganized Alpha Since becoming Alpha, Riordon Grayer doesn’t have time for the wild fun of his youth. Hell, he doesn’t have time for anything except pack business and work and he can’t even stay on top of that. His business documents are disappearing and records are getting misfiled. He needs an assistant and Kyra is the perfect candidate. She’s quiet, calm, organized – everything he lacks. Even his wolf approves and wants to get closer. If only she didn’t wear such heavy perfume… A defective damsel Kyra's been living in Alaska since her family banished her here fifteen years ago. A shifter who can’t control her shift is an embarrassment to the family and a danger to the Pack. But when her cousin asks her to take a job as an administrative assistant, she agrees. It should be easy to get the office in tip-top shape in no time. Then she meets her boss. He's wild, untamed, Alpha... and he's her mate. A defective shifter is absolutely the wrong woman to be an Alpha's mate. She has only one weekend to figure out a solution.
Download or read book The Population Ecology and Conservation of Charadrius Plovers written by Mark A. Colwell and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-04-26 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 40 or so species of beach-loving plovers (genus Charadrius) comprise a diverse group of shorebirds found around the world. Most of these species are challenged by changing climates and other human-related development activities, yet they provide key insights into basic ecological and evolutionary processes. The expert international contributors take a comparative approach, presenting examples from many worldwide plover studies and synthesizing the group’s most pressing and important topics. The book further presents an emphasis on full life-cycle biology, including the importance of examining migratory connectivity issues, even for non-migratory plovers.
