Download or read book Saving Sea Turtles written by James R. Spotila and published by . This book was released on 2011-04-18 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In April 2007, eleven leatherback turtles captured the imagination of the public worldwide as they “raced” from Costa Rica toward the Galápagos Islands. Known as the Great Turtle Race, this event tracked these critically endangered sea turtles, drawing attention to their fragile status and generating data on the turtles vital to efforts to study and protect them. But the Great Turtle Race is just one of many tools marine conservationists use to inform people about the status, biology, and lives of the seven sea turtle species. Due to human actions, once-plentiful sea turtle population levels plummeted throughout much of the twentieth century, stabilizing somewhat only after Archie Carr and Jacques Cousteau popularized their plight. With Saving Sea Turtles, award-winning author James R. Spotila picks up where Carr and Cousteau left off, going inside the modern-day conservation movement to tell the tales of today’s sea turtle conservationists. He provides a complete overview of sea turtle biology and life cycles, discusses the human and natural world threats they face, and examines the new methods and technologies humans are using to save them. Throughout, Spotila dots the narrative with stories of real-life heroes who risk life and limb to understand, track, and conserve sea turtles across the globe. Spotila has been at the forefront of sea turtle research and conservation for decades. His inspirational story of dedicated individuals, creative endeavors, and adventure reveals what is being done and what else we must do in order to ensure that these fascinating animals continue swimming in the oceans.

The discovery books work in synchronization with the brain and not against the brain like some dull textbooks try to teach things. It is a fact that kids just love these discovery picture books about weird animals and weird stuff that the animals are doing because they love the coolness and grooviness factor of the books. Parents are super satisfied because their children show interest for things on a higher level of interest as usual.

Getting a child involved in the learning and discovery process is key & once your child gets started with raising all kinds of questions, you actually have done a great job as a parent because the active and creative process of raising questions independently is where intelligence starts to develop and grow into a totally new dimension. If your child asks lots of questions you actually have the proof that providing discovery books to your child actually works because children who discover with their own senses and in an active and interactive way are able to develop intelligence on a much higher level than children who are not asking any questions and who are passively sitting in front of a TV all day long. Stimulation of thought and contemplation increases intelligence and the brain power and TV kills the brain cells of your child. Parents and home-schoolers alike are reporting unprecedented results from using this books as learning materials & they get results even with children who usually hate reading books and who have problems learning and retaining new and dry information.
