To our knowledge, no other Psychologist (Talking Doctor or Learning Doctor) had ever taught a turtle to do tricks. This breakthrough exemplifies that change and growth can occur on many levels, at any age. Even the turtle learned about trust, and to understand a myriad of emotions. Next, he learned the value of enjoyment of attention and attachment, the pleasure of earning rewards and even experiencing true bonding with others. The compassionate story affirms the process of interpersonal growth, adaptation to change, overcoming obstacles, reduction of anxiety, fear and shyness and the drive to experience fun and laughter. Most importantly Florida the Turtle brings a smile to your face. He brings out the child in all of us at any age. The uniqueness of this helping approach is unparalleled in the current literary world as well as in the Field of Psychology. So, now let’s meet Florida the Turtle.

Download or read book The Man Who Saved Sea Turtles written by Frederick Davis and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-07-02 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archie Carr, one of the greatest biologists of the twentieth century, played a leading part in finding a new and critical role for natural history and systematics in a post-1950s world dominated by the glamorous science of molecular biology. With the rise of molecular biology came a growing popular awareness of species extinction. Carr championed endangered sea turtles, and his work reflects major shifts in the study of ecology and evolution. A gifted nature writer, his books on the natural history of sea turtles and their habitats in Florida, the Caribbean, and Africa entertained and educated a wide audience. Carr's conservation ethic grew from his field work as well as his friendships with the fishermen who supplied him with many of the stories he retold so engagingly. With Archie Carr as the focus, The Man Who Saved Sea Turtles explores the evolution of the naturalist tradition, biology, and conservation during the twentieth century.
