Download or read book The Three Little Lemurs written by Aaron Grope and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-13 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an adaptation of the famous folktale, "Three Little Pigs". It takes place on the island of Madagascar, and the "pigs" are not pigs at all, they're LEMURS! (pronounced Lee-Murz). The purpose of this book is to create awareness about lemurs; in particular the ring-tailed lemur, their habitat, and the dangers that are threatening them. Although this is a lighthearted story about three little lemurs stopping a big bad fire, the fun enlightens the reader to a much more serious concern, that is, the destruction of the lemurs' habitats in Madagascar. Geographically, Madagascar's location means that many of the species there are unique to those 226,658 square miles on which they live, and once they are gone that part of our evolutionary past is destroyed.

Download or read book Chasing Lemurs written by Keriann McGoogan and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-03-27 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This inspiring memoir of one woman's experience in the field is an exotic adventure story, a surprise journey of self-discovery, and a deeply personal appreciation of a place that's unlike any other.At age twenty-five, graduate student Keriann McGoogan traveled into the wilds of Madagascar to study lemurs in their natural habitat and to set up a permanent field site in the remote northwest--a site to which she could later return to do research for her PhD in biological anthropology. Despite careful planning, the trip spiraled out of control. Food poisoning, harrowing backcountry roads, grueling hikes, challenging local politics, malaria, and an emergency evacuation would turn a simple reconnaissance into an epic adventure. In an engaging narrative, the author vividly describes the challenges of life in an isolated forest region while also bringing to life the wonders of Madagascar's incredible biodiversity, especially its many varieties of lemurs. Sadly, these rare animals are the most endangered group of primates in the world. At first accompanied by her thesis advisor, McGoogan is soon left alone when her mentor must return home. She carries on as the lone woman amid a small band of local male assistants, diligently conducting research on the lemur population around the camp. But when her right-hand man becomes delirious with malaria, she is forced to lead her team on a desperate three-day trek to safety.This fascinating memoir is equal parts a journey of self-discovery, an adventure story, and a heartfelt appreciation of a wonderful island country teaming with unique species and peopled by the warm and welcoming Malagasies with their intriguing indigenous culture.

Download or read book Shocked written by David Casarett M.D. and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-07-31 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a young medical student, Dr. David Casarett was inspired by the story of a two-year-old girl named Michelle Funk. Michelle fell into a creek and was underwater for over an hour. When she was found she wasn’t breathing, and her pupils were fixed and dilated. But after three hours of persistent work, a team of doctors and nurses was able to bring her back. If Michelle could come back after three hours of being dead, what about twelve hours? Or twenty-four? What would it take to revive someone who had been frozen for one thousand years? And what does blurring the line between "life" and "death" mean for society? In Shocked, Casarett chronicles his exploration of the cutting edge of resuscitation and reveals just how far science has come. He takes us to a conference of "cryonauts" who want to be frozen after they die, a dark room full of hibernating lemurs in North Carolina, and a laboratory that puts mice into a state of suspended animation. The result is a spectacular tour of the bizarre world of doctors, engineers, animal biologists, and cryogenics enthusiasts trying to bring the recently dead back to life. Fascinating, thought-provoking, and funny, Shocked is perfect for those looking for a prequel—and a sequel—to Mary Roach’s Stiff, or for anyone who likes to ponder the ultimate questions of life and death.

Book excerpt: This heartwarming story involves three couples whose friendship and mutual respect deepen into a loving family relationship that remains strong through the years despite a few bumps along the way. Dylan, Steve, and Carl are college friends, all single, who work and play together like brothers. Carl starts a business in Durham, North Carolina; Steve starts a similar business in St. Louis; and Dylan becomes a college professor in St. Louis. The story initially focuses on Dylan, whose wife left him for a mutual friend after eleven years of marriage. He was extremely depressed, but is cheered by a fellow professor, Ann, who invites him to the St. Louis Zoo with her and her two kids. Dylan and the kids visit and play with the lemurs at the zoo. The kids love the lemurs and are equally enamored with Dylan. An unexpected cascade of events follows that changes Dylan's life, although he remains in touch with Ann on a platonic basis. Dylan's plane crashes en route to Durham, where Dylan is sent to facilitate a possible merger between Steve's and Carl's companies. Dylan meets Tessa, a fellow passenger on the plane. Tessa is a scholar at the Lemur Center at Duke University. Tessa and Dylan begin a romantic relationship. Tessa's two friends become romantically involved with Dylan's two friends, Carl and Steve, which results in Dylan and Steve relocating to Durham from St. Louis so all three couples could be together. The couples, all professionals, decide to restore a large house containing separate suites for each couple with common living spaces. Their careers and businesses prosper. Dylan gets to accompany Tessa to Madagascar, where Tessa researches the behavior of lemurs. Then Ann, Dylan's platonic friend in St. Louis, becomes ill and needs help with her two kids. Upon learning of Ann's illness, Tessa and the others relocate Ann and her children to their home. Then Tessa leaves, Ann dies, and Dylan adopts the kids. He loves the kids, and with the support of his friends, he eventually cultivates a successful and lasting relationship with Margo, a victim of domestic violence.
