Actually days or weeks if one were to read it through, but since this is a reference work, most users will be looking for specific information about a favorite bird or species. The introductory material is an education in itself explaining about the various classification systems, and the one that this book uses. It is followed by a really good introduction to birds. Readers who are writing reports will learn about the various classes of birds, birds sizes and how their bodies are designed for flying (as well as those of flightless birds), the purpose and structure of feathers, respiration, flight adaptation, senses (vision, hearing and smell), breeding, and nests. All of this information is illustrated in full color with diagrams that clearly demonstrate the principles and give examples of a variety of birds and their abilities. Once all of that is absorbed, readers can spend time reading about specific families of birds. The text describes each bird, its habitat and again is accompanied by beautiful, full-color photographs. An inset box provides basic facts as to the bird's official versus common name, order, family, species or subspecies, where one would find the bird, habitat, size, plumage, voice, nest, eggs, diet and finally conservation status. While the text is quite advanced it could be read by kids 12 and up and younger kids can enjoy the pictures and make use of the fact file data. The feature about penguins occupies ten pages with pictures of the birds underwater, many of the speciesand the habitats which range from vast rookeries to the freezing Antarctic. It was interesting and sad to learn that emperor chicks that fall onto the ice, off the parents feet and out of the brood pouch die of exposure within a few minutes. Gnateaters on the other hand are given one page, but again it is more than enough information for most of us. There is a table of contents, extensive glossary, bibliography, index and list of picture credits that would require a magnifying glass to read.

The audience consists of students in mathematics, engineering, and the physical sciences. The topics include derivations of some of the standard models of mathematical physics (e.g., the heat equation, the wave equation, and Laplace’s equation) and methods for solving those equations on unbounded and bounded domains (transform methods and eigenfunction expansions). Prerequisites include multivariable calculus and elementary differential equations. The text differs from other texts in that it is a brief treatment; yet it provides coverage of the main topics usually studied in the standard course as well as an introduction to using computer algebra packages to solve and understand partial differential equations.

Evolved Incrementally From Smaller Beginnings ... And The Brains That Originally Struggled To Support Simple Languages Were Replaced By Brains Better Suited To This Awkward Adaptation. Once Our Ancestors Stumbled Onto The Awesome Power Of Language, It Sent Our Lineage Of Apes Down A Novel Evolutionary Path -- A Path That Has Continued To Diverge From All Other Species Ever Since. And While Our Brains Have Adapted To Language, Language Has Itself Adapted To Our Brains.

On the one hand, it is a modern miracle: a ubiquitous fixture in a vast sanitation system that has helped add decades to the human life span by reducing disease. On the other hand, the toilet is also a tragic failure: less than half of the world’s population can access a toilet that safely manages body waste, including many right here in the United States. And it is inefficient, squandering clean water as well as the nutrients, energy, and information contained in the stuff we flush away. While we see radical technological change in almost every other aspect of our lives, we remain stuck in a sanitation status quo—in part because the topic of toilets is taboo.\\\u003cbr\u003eFortunately, there’s hope—and\u003cbr\u003ePipe Dreams daringly profiles the growing army of sewage-savvy scientists, engineers, philanthropists, entrepreneurs, and activists worldwide who are overcoming their aversions and focusing their formidable skills on making toilets accessible and healthier for all.\\\u003cbr\u003eThis potential revolution in sanitation has many benefits, including reducing inequalities, mitigating climate change and water scarcity, improving agriculture, and optimizing health. Author Chelsea Wald takes us on a wild world tour from a compost toilet project in Haiti, to a plant in the Netherlands that salvages used toilet paper from sewage, and shows us a toilet seat that can watch users’ poop for signs of illness, among many other fascinating developments.\\\u003cbr\u003e“Toilet humor is one thing, but toilet fact, as digested by skilled science writer Wald, is quite another…[\u003cbr\u003ePipe Dreams is] a highly informative, well-reasoned call to rethink the throne” (\u003cbr\u003eKirkus Reviews).\u003cbr\u003e      Review      \u003cbr\u003e“Readers couldn’t ask for a more qualified guide to take them on a world tour of next-gen sewage schemes. . . .

The book covers every system of the body in an organized fashion, and provides students with all of the basic information necessary to transition to the detailed knowledge required in graduate studies of human anatomy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePurpose:\u003c\/b\u003eThe book is designed for advanced undergraduate students in preprofessional programs of study and serves as a primer for all of the basics of human anatomy. The authors attempt to produce a book that was complete, factual, and most importantly, readable for today's undergraduate students. With the current trend towards Internet learning combined with the decreasing propensity of students to actually buy and read textbooks, these are worthy objectives that these authors have certainly succeeded in achieving.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience:\u003c\/b\u003eWith their many years of educating undergraduate students in human anatomy, the authors recognized a need for a complete, readable anatomical textbook that this audience can and will read. (Since human physiology is not addressed, it would be inappropriate for combined anatomy\/physiology courses.) This is a wonderful contribution to the field. When I look back on the undergraduate and entry level anatomy courses I have taken and taught, I wish that this book had been available for both me and my students. It contains all of the basic information for understanding the structures of the body and how these systems fit together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003eThe book covers the human body from a systems point of view instead of regionally. Beginning with cellular structure, the authors take readers through basic embryology, basic tissue types, and then through the body, system by system. The systemic layout is well organized with each chapter following the same basic layout, enabling readers to become familiar and comfortable with how to read the text. The authors begin with the musculoskeletal system, progress to the nervous system, then finish with special senses and the organ systems. The illustrations and cadaveric dissection photographs, many of which I would like to incorporate in my lectures, are of excellent detail and quality. Throughout the book, the authors provide clinical correlations and challenge questions encouraging students to think about what they are reading and relate it to real conditions. Muscle structure, attachments, and innervations are presented concisely so as to not frustrate the reader with extraneous detail.

As a toddler she was entranced by all living things, and over the years the little girl inspired by \u003ci\u003eTarzan\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Jungle Book\u003c\/i\u003e became the woman who found herself working with famed paleontologist Dr. Louis Leakey; accomplished scientific breakthroughs in Gombe; and, ultimately, became a champion of the environment. It has been a life blessed with faith, resolve, and purpose, though not without its crises. Jane Goodall endured the horrors of the London blitz and World War II, postwar hardships, vicious rumors and \"establishment\" assaults on the integrity of her work, a terrorist attack and hostage taking in Africa, and her husband's slow, agonizing death. But throughout, her religious convictions, although tested, have helped her survive-and Jane Goodall's pursuit of science has enhanced, not eroded, her belief in God. In this book she candidly shares her life—talking of the love and support of her mother, her son, her late husband, of friends and strangers—as well as the Gombe chimpanzees she introduced to the world nearly forty years ago. And she gives us convincing reasons why we can and must open ourselves to the saints within each of us. At one with nature and challenged by the man-made dangers of environmental destruction, inequality, materialism, and genocide, Dr. Goodall offers insight into her perceptions of these threats and celebrates the people who are working for earth's renewal. Here, indeed, is \u003ci\u003eReason For Hope. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Bernadette Murphy \u003cp\u003eWho can hear the name Jane Goodall without remembering a PBS special or a National Geographic profile of her work? Even Apple Computer's \"Think Different\" ad campaign has capitalized on the image of that lanky woman with the gray ponytail, gently holding a chimpanzee like an infant, that is emblazoned on our collective memory. It was through that British-inflected voice that we first learned of the workaday life and intrinsic beauty of our nearest evolutionary neighbor, the chimpanzee, and of the similarities between our two species. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Goodall's role in radically altering our perception of human and animal life is presented clearly in \u003ci\u003eReason For Hope: A Spiritual Journey\u003c\/i\u003e. Part memoir, part educational venture and part spiritual testimony, Goodall wrote the book to \"answer the questions that people ask me, about my religious and spiritual beliefs, about my philosophy on life, about why I have hope for the future.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Easily, the most fascinating part of \u003ci\u003eReason for Hope\u003c\/i\u003e is Goodall's retelling of the early years of her career. This section of the book is alive with scenes from Gombe, Tanganyika (now Tanzania after its merger with Zanzibar), where she was the first person to live with and study the chimpanzees, and of how her observation of these animals deeply impacted her life. It's thrilling to read about discoveries that today we take for granted. For instance, only in following this account does one remember that before her study of the chimpanzee in 1960, humans were thought to be the only species capable of making and using tools. \"That ability set us apart, it was supposed, from the rest of the animal kingdom,\" Goodall writes. As Goodall narrates the first instance of discovery-when she watches the chimpanzee, David Greybeard, pick a small leafy twig, strip the stem of leaves and then lower this \"tool\" into a termite hole to collect insects to eat-the sense of excitement and breakthrough is palpable. When she telegraphed these findings to her mentor, the paleontologist\/archeologist Louis Leakey, he responded with a now-famous remark, \"Ah! We must now redefine man, redefine tool or accept chimpanzees as human!\" Indeed, when she writes of how her observations at Gombe challenged human uniqueness, one has a sense of the \"violent scientific and theological uproar\" her findings engendered. Goodall chose to stay out of the controversy, continuing instead to live her simple life in Gombe, learning more about the chimpanzees and what their lives say about humans. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Somewhat disappointing to this reader, Goodall doesn't address the lack of respect she received as a woman and a scientist who was not traditionally trained. (Though she went on to receive a Ph.D., she held no degree when she made the famous 1960 discovery.) In Reason for Hope, she does touch on the topic obliquely: \"There were some who tried to discredit my observations,\" she writes, but shies away from giving any details, either of her reaction to this lack of respect or how she believes her gender may have played a role. For example, when she was first selected by Leakey for the initial Gombe study, both the British protectorate and the government authorities of Tanganyika were horrified at the thought of a young white woman going off into the bush; they required that she take a European companion. In the narrative, she focuses on how she chose her indomitable mother, who became known among the local people as the \"White Witchdoctor\" for the simple medical care she provided. It's unfortunate that by drawing back at key personal points, Goodall undercuts her intention of showing her beliefs, relying instead on straightforward testimony. As a result, the portions on spirituality and religion, which are presented in a sentimentalized, didactic tone, are much less captivating than her visceral descriptions of life in the wild. Likewise, the most tedious part of this book is the reprimand to the human race for being selfish, greedy, environmentally stupid and generally cruel. It's not that her points aren't true and well-taken; it's just that the presentation of the material comes across as staid. Her prescription is to hasten our moral evolution in order to stem the tide of self-destruction: \"We will have to evolve, all of us, from ordinary, everyday human beings-into saints!\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e In the telling of Goodall's personal life, this book is imbued with her politics and the spiritual beliefs that are as much a part of her life as the air she breathes. When she goes out of her way to advance her tenets, however, the work strays and the narrative wanes. Still, it's only an activist's zeal, a flaw easily forgiven in the context of her life and mission. Reason for Hope grants a startling look backwards at where we, the chimpanzees and the whole \"green movement\" have come from. Looking forward, as we teeter on the brink of the new millennium, learning more each day about the damage our species is doing to our planet, who among us can't use some reason for hope?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScience \u0026amp; Math\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiological Sciences\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZoology\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003ePrimatology\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Grand Central Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Used - Very Good","offer_id":48760343658686,"sku":"0446676136-3","price":7.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/61NuyNwlkML.jpg?v=1754094520"},{"product_id":"038554376x","title":"Hidden Valley Road: Inside the Mind of an American Family","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eThe Heartrending Story Of A Midcentury American Family With Twelve Children, Six Of Them Diagnosed With Schizophrenia, That Became Science's Great Hope In The Quest To Understand The Disease.

By meticulous experimentation, dissection, and observation with the newly invented microscope, they showed that like breeds like, that all animals come from an egg, that there is no such thing as spontaneous generation, and that there are millions of tiny, wriggling \"eels\" in semen. However, their ultimate inability to fully understand the evidence that was in front of them led to a fatal mistake.
