Download or read book Voyage of the Turtle written by Carl Safina and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of an ancient sea turtle and what its survival says about our future, from the award-winning writer and naturalist Though nature is indifferent to the struggles of her creatures, the human effect on them is often premeditated. The distressing decline of sea turtles in Pacific waters and their surprising recovery in the Atlantic illuminate what can go both wrong and right from our interventions, and teach us the lessons that can be applied to restore health to the world's oceans and its creatures. As Voyage of the Turtle, Carl Safina's compelling natural history adventure makes clear, the fate of the astonishing leatherback turtle, whose ancestry can be traced back 125 million years, is in our hands. Writing with verve and color, Safina describes how he and his colleagues track giant pelagic turtles across the world's oceans and onto remote beaches of every continent. As scientists apply lessons learned in the Atlantic and Caribbean to other endangered seas, Safina follows leatherback migrations, including a thrilling journey from Monterey, California, to nesting grounds on the most remote beaches of Papua, New Guinea. The only surviving species of its genus, family, and suborder, the leatherback is an evolutionary marvel: a "reptile" that behaves like a warm-blooded dinosaur, an ocean animal able to withstand colder water than most fishes and dive deeper than any whale. In his peerless prose, Safina captures the delicate interaction between these gentle giants and the humans who are finally playing a significant role in their survival. "Magnificent . . . A joyful, hopeful book. Safina gives us ample reasons to be enthralled by this astonishing ancient animal—and ample reasons to care." -- The Los Angeles Times

Download or read book The Turtle Test Pilots written by AQEEL AHMED and published by AQEEL AHMED. This book was released on 2024-02-14 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the middle of the peaceful and beautiful Green Meadows, a story of amazing adventures and never-ending wonder takes place. It tells the story of a group of daring turtles who want to do something that is against nature: fly through the air. These turtles, unlike any others that came before them, set out to do something that seemed impossible. They are driven on their trip by a mix of strong ambition and awe. They work hard to build a fleet of experimental airplanes that will take them into the sky. This starts an era of stories that have never been told before: the tale of the turtle test pilots. Each trip the turtles take into the sky shows how brave they are and takes them further into the unknown. Along the way, they go through forests that look like green oceans below, over mountains that reach the sky, past rivers that sparkle like silver threads, and past Green Meadows' famous land. Their desire to find and explore is fueled by the world above them, which teaches them what true adventure is all about through its hidden gems and stunning landscapes. There are some risks on their way, though. There is a big storm that tries the turtles' strength, making them use all of their skills, trust each other, and face their fears. For kids, this event is a turning point that teaches them the important lessons of working together, being loyal, and being strong when things go wrong. Through this journey, the turtles learn firsthand that they can get through anything if they work together. Besides the amazing things they did in the air, the turtle test pilots left behind something amazing. Everyone in Green Meadows finds motivation in it, and it inspires people to go after their dreams and goals, no matter how far-fetched they may seem. Their story is a colorful tale with themes of finding treasure, being determined, and the endless possibilities that lie ahead of us at every turn. It teaches us that by being brave, working together, and being creative, even the most grounded people can reach their goals. There are a lot of things that can happen in the sky because of the turtles' brave flying. They are testing their own limits and leaving a memory that will inspire future generations. Chapter 1: Wishes to Fly There was a unique group of turtles living in the peaceful Green Meadows, which was full of green grass and sparkling streams. These turtles were not like other turtles; they were visionaries and dreamers who stood out from the other animals in the field because they all had the same high goal. Each turtle wished in silence to fly into the sky, skim the clouds, and feel the soft breeze on their shells. It may have seemed impossible for many to reach this goal because turtles are rooted to the ground and their thick shells remind them of their link to the Earth below. There's no doubt that birds rule the sky. Their light bodies and broad, fluffy wings make flying so graceful and easy. The turtles in Green Meadows, on the other hand, couldn't fly because their strong legs were made for walking, not flight. Even though these turtles had problems with their bodies, their souls were still strong. Instead, the fact that they couldn't fly made them more determined and creative. As they watched the birds fly above them and saw how the wind pushed their feathered friends into the air, they wished they could join the birds in their aerial ballet. Turtles talked about the amazing places they could visit if they had wings and the amazing things that were beyond the woods and meadows. They fantasized about how exciting it would be to see the world from above, how free it would be to fly, and all the exciting things that would happen in the sky. That they all had the same dream brought them together and gave their daily lives more meaning and energy. Even though there were clear problems, the Green Meadows turtles kept going after their dream. Even though they would never be able to fly like birds, they thought there might be other ways for them to feel like they were flying. The trip of a lifetime began with this thought, this glimmer of hope. It pushed them to be creative, think outside the box, and go on a trip that would test their skills and show how powerful friendship, determination, and the unwavering spirit of a dreamer can be. It was clear to the turtles that their trip would be hard, but they were ready to face the problems together. Before, their dream of flying had been just a fantasy. Now, it was going to come true, and everyone in Green Meadows would be inspired. Chapter 2: The Idea. In the middle of the calm and lively Green Meadows, a young turtle named Timmy found something that got his friends really excited. Dreams were blowing around like leaves in the wind. On a normal day with normal trips and events, Timmy's sharp eyes saw something out of the ordinary. He discovered an old, worn-out book tucked away under a thick layer of lush plants and next to the roots of an old oak tree. This book was different from all the others because it was full of pictures of planes, stories about people going around the world, and stories about the sky. Timmy's big, interested eyes couldn't believe what he was seeing. He asked himself out loud, "What if we could fly, too?" His voice was full of wonder and hunger. The turtles responded with great excitement to the simple but deep question. At first, the idea seemed silly or even impossible. How could animals that move so slowly and have such heavy bodies hope to fly? But the more they thought about it, the more likely it seemed that it could be done. The old book turned out to be a valuable find that gave them motivation and hope. As they crowded around it, their heads were full of ideas and possibilities. The dream of flying, which had always seemed just out of reach, became real all of a sudden. It took a lot of guts and determination for them to start working on building experimental planes that would let them fly. When I made this choice, the beginning of an amazing journey began. The turtles worked together to reach a shared goal. Each turtle had its own special skills and abilities. They read the whole book and learned about aerodynamics, designing airplanes, and how they work during flying. They used what they found in the woods and fields to make a workshop. Very carefully, pieces of sticks, leaves, and even petals were gathered, possibly to use as parts of their flying designs.
