Download or read book A World in a Shell written by Thom van Dooren and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2023-10-17 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the trails of Hawai‘i’s snails to explore the simultaneously biological and cultural significance of extinction. In this time of extinctions, the humble snail rarely gets a mention. And yet snails are disappearing faster than any other species. In A World in a Shell, Thom van Dooren offers a collection of snail stories from Hawai‘i—once home to more than 750 species of land snails, almost two-thirds of which are now gone. Following snail trails through forests, laboratories, museums, and even a military training facility, and meeting with scientists and Native Hawaiians, van Dooren explores ongoing processes of ecological and cultural loss as they are woven through with possibilities for hope, care, mourning, and resilience. Van Dooren recounts the fascinating history of snail decline in the Hawaiian Islands: from deforestation for agriculture, timber, and more, through the nineteenth century shell collecting mania of missionary settlers, and on to the contemporary impacts of introduced predators. Along the way he asks how both snail loss and conservation efforts have been tangled up with larger processes of colonization, militarization, and globalization. These snail stories provide a potent window into ongoing global process of environmental and cultural change, including the largely unnoticed disappearance of countless snails, insects, and other less charismatic species. Ultimately, van Dooren seeks to cultivate a sense of wonder and appreciation for our damaged planet, revealing the world of possibilities and relationships that lies coiled within a snail’s shell.
Download or read book The Snail with the Right Heart written by Maria Popova and published by Enchanted Lion Books. This book was released on 2020-11-03 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a real scientific event and inspired by a beloved real human in the author's life, this is a story about science and the poetry of existence; about time and chance, genetics and gender, love and death, evolution and infinity -- concepts often too abstract for the human mind to fathom, often more accessible to the young imagination; concepts made fathomable in the concrete, finite life of one tiny, unusual creature dwelling in a pile of compost amid an English garden. Emerging from this singular life is a lyrical universal invitation not to mistake difference for defect and to welcome, across the accordion scales of time and space, diversity as the wellspring of the universe's beauty and resilience.

Book excerpt: A long, long time ago, before email and texting, the mail was delivered in a much slower way-it was called Snail Mail (because some thought it was delivered by a snail). Although it took much longer, everyone agreed that letters were a little more special when they were delivered by Snail Mail. They might be handwritten. They might include a drawing. They might even contain a surprise inside! One such letter was sent by a Girl to the Boy she loved, and it was up to four special snails to deliver her card across the country. The snails trek across the country-through desert heat and dangerous blizzards, across mountains and plains, through cities and forests-and along the way, they find that taking time to slow down and look around makes the journey all the more beautiful. Snail Mail's playful and educational story encourages kids to have slow living, and to approach life with determination and wonder. Julia Patton's rich illustrations showcase America's diverse terrain and national monuments from coast to coast. Kids and parents alike will delight in this celebration of America's beauty and the power of a simple handwritten letter.

Download or read book The Journey of the Snail written by Virginia Thayer and published by . This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One summer day the snail is fed up. He's tired of carrying his house around on his back. After the eggs are laid, the babies hatch out by themselves and leave. He decides to travel, see how other snails live. He finds snails living all over the world. They live in the jungle, the tundra, near salt water and fresh, in city gardens and wilderness preserves. He has only one worry. He's seen a famous chef working in the kitchen and he was cooking snails. He continues on his travels. When he stops to rest under a tree, he spots an eagle on a branch high above him. He watches the eagle as it circles, soars and plummets. He thinks that must be the ideal life. Besides, nobody wants to eat an eagle. He decides to pay him a visit, maybe take flying lessons. It takes a long tine to reach the eagle's nest. As he travels along, he tries to develop wings by rubbing his foot against the plants he passes, but nothing comes of it. When he finds the eagle's aerie, he is surprised to find the nest a hodgepodge of sticks jutting out at all angles. He thinks his shell is a much better house. It's very tidy, with a beautiful spiral on either side. He peeks inside the nest and sees nothing but a confusion of fuzz and feathers. Then he notices that the eagle spends every minute hunting and fishing to satisfy the squawking eaglets. Not for him. He was heading home. He had explored a great idea, but now he'd return to his own garden. It would take a long time, but once he got there, he'd have more ideas-and he'd be safe.
