Book excerpt: The Christmas Ant, written by Jack L. Mauldin and illustrated by JanOvation, captures the magic of Christmas, from heartwarming acts of giving and receiving to magical journeys deep into an ant castle, where a Queen rules, soldiers guard, and ants prepare for the surprise that is to come. This delightfully illustrated children's book spins a sweet tale of simple acts of kindness, of never giving up, and looking beyond yourself. Intertwining great character traits and heroic actions into a mystical story, The Christmas Ant sparks imagination and is expected to create many memorable nights cuddling together as parents and children explore the world of Scout, the little unimportant ant who is searching for a gift for his Queen. Jack L. Mauldin, the author, found inspiration for the book from a solitary ant wandering across the counter in his kitchen while baking Christmas cookies. Jack imagined the scout ant searching for something to give its Queen, and that became the basis for his story. Jack says it was surprising to his entire family when he shared the fully developed story of Scout, the ant, along with his serious plans to publish a children's book. They were shocked largely because he is a physician who has lectured medical students for forty years and run a busy practice as a gastroenterologist in Birmingham, AL since 1976. Dr. Jack Mauldin has been secretly entertaining the budding talent for writing children's books for years. He explains, "I write a lot of stories in my mind but rarely put them down on paper. Once in a while, I have a muse and it will come to me as a whole story. The Christmas Ant came that way; it just fell out and I embellished it." Dr. Mauldin says that he intentionally focused on writing a story that has life-lessons and interests children in reading. "We often watch our grand kids exclaim, 'Oh look it's a bug!' when they see an ant, so I used that enthusiasm for bugs as a way to tell the universal story of working hard and never giving up on a juvenile level." The Christmas Ant is ideal for developing literacy with its rich descriptions and the bright, colorful, detailed illustrations. Jack was amazed to discover the artistic abilities of JanOvation (Jana Nielsen) because she was able to illustrate exactly the images Jack had envisioned as he wrote the story, "You can go in my kitchen and see that Jana's picture of the kitchen sink and the little boy captures it all. Most of what came out in the illustrations is exactly how our house looks or what I imagined." Jana says, "Jack is an amazing person to work with. His descriptive writing made the book fun to illustrate and he has a wonderful personality. Jack would say things like, 'Can you give Billy a haircut? It's looking a little long in back." One of the most fascinating illustrations in the book is the cross-section of the ant castle on the inside. Jack says, "Kids are fascinated by ants. They get ant farms to watch and study the ants in their hills working." Jana's ant castle is sure to captivate children's imagination and prepare them for the next books in the series. Dr. Jack Mauldin assures us this is just the beginning of Scout's journeys. More books on this honorable ant are soon to be written and illustrated, with many more life-lessons to discover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Horace is a young spider that lives with his grandpa at the top of an old oak tree. Every morning, he walks to school with his two best bug friends (BBFs), Maya Ladybug and Freddie Ant. As winter approaches, Horace's two friends begin telling him about all the wonderful traditions their families will be celebrating at Christmas. Not knowing what Christmas is, Horace feels left out of all the excitement. After his grandpa explains the meaning of Christmas and the various traditions that go along with it, Horace is saddened to discover that his family doesn't have any traditions of their own. He's also worried about exchanging gifts with his friends because he doesn't know what exactly to give them. As Christmas draws nearer, the answer to Horace's problems reveals itself, allowing him to create both a family tradition and a permanent solution to his gift-giving dilemma. Horace the Christmas Spider is a tale that embraces both the meaning of Christmas and the importance of sharing traditions with family and friends. It also reaffirms the notion that it's better to give than to receive. Horace the Christmas Spider was written partly as an homage to A Charlie Brown Christmas by Charles M. Schulz and will hopefully keep your family in the holiday spirit for many years to come.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ants are probably the most dominant insect family on earth, and flowering plants have been the dominant plant group on land for more than 100 million years. In recent decades, human activities have degraded natural environments with unparalleled speed and scale, making it increasingly apparent that interspecific interactions vary not only under different ecological conditions and across habitats, but also according to anthropogenic global change. This is the first volume entirely devoted to the anthropogenic effects on the interactions between these two major components of terrestrial ecosystems. A first-rate team of contributors report their research from a variety of temperate and tropical ecosystems worldwide, including South, Central and North America, Africa, Japan, Polynesia, Indonesia and Australia. It provides an in-depth summary of the current understanding for researchers already acquainted with insect-plant interactions, yet is written at a level to offer a window into the ecology of ant-plant interactions for the mostly uninitiated international scientific community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is the best example of how studies aimed at understanding and modeling the behavior of ants and other social insects can provide inspiration for the development of computational algorithms for the solution of difficult mathematical problems. Introduced by Marco Dorigo in his PhD thesis (1992) and initially applied to the travelling salesman problem, the ACO field has experienced a tremendous growth, standing today as an important nature-inspired stochastic metaheuristic for hard optimization problems. This book presents state-of-the-art ACO methods and is divided into two parts: (I) Techniques, which includes parallel implementations, and (II) Applications, where recent contributions of ACO to diverse fields, such as traffic congestion and control, structural optimization, manufacturing, and genomics are presented.

Book excerpt: Never assume things are the way they appear. Five Tuscaloosa police officers meet at a local bar to reflect and reminisce about wild shenanigans, heroic actions, and their most heartbreaking moments while celebrating twenty-five years of service of one of their own. This book was inspired by real-life events and the police officers who lived them. The story will keep you guessing until the spine-chilling end. See what readers are saying... “I just finished reading The Retirement, and wow. Just wow! It isn't often that the ending of a book stops me in my tracks and brings tears to my eye, but this one did. Well done from the first page to the last. I have sat with cops in bars just like the Top Shelf and swapped war stories just like these friends did, and their stories ring true. Well done, Mr. Robinson. I will be looking for more of your titles.” - Nick Russell (New York Times bestselling author) “If you want to know what it really feels like to be a police officer in a college town this is the book for you. As the wife of a retired officer I felt like I was sitting with my husband after he got off work and was winding down. I recognized some of the incidences in the book as similar to the ones my husband talked about (of course names were changed to protect the innocent or maybe not so innocent). The characters are authentic (I actually recognized some of them). The ending was so unexpected that I actually gasped when I read it! I cried through the last nineteen pages of the book. I strongly encourage you to give The Retirement a try, especially if you like fiction based on real life.” - Becky Brown (coupleofbeesread.com) “Great read, didn’t expect the ending. Got me there! I loved it! Would definitely recommend. Much respect to our men in blue.” - Nikki Malensky “I couldn’t put it down. I’ve read hundreds of books and I have this one in my top 5 of all time. I hope he writes many more in the future.” - Lee Mobley “It was cool to read a book based on my hometown and I definitely didn’t see the ending coming!” - Heather M Wyatt (Author of My Life Without Ranch)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Action Plan for Australian Birds 2010 is the third in a series of action plans that have been produced at the start of each decade. The book analyses the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) status of all the species and subspecies of Australia's birds, including those of the offshore territories. For each bird the size and trend in their population and distribution has been analysed using the latest iteration of IUCN Red List Criteria to determine their risk of extinction. The book also provides an account of all those species and subspecies that are or are likely to be extinct. Each categorisation is justified on the basis of the latest research, including much unpublished material that has been made available during workshops conducted with leading ornithologists and conservation biologists around the country as well as phone interviews and correspondence. The result is the most authoritative account yet of the status of Australia's birds. In this completely revised edition each account covers not only the 2010 status but provides a retrospective assessment of the status in 1990 and 2000 based on current knowledge, taxonomic revisions and changes to the IUCN criteria, and then reasons why the status of some taxa has changed over the last two decades. Maps have been created specifically for the Action Plan based on vetted data drawn from the records of Birds Australia, its members and its partners in many government departments. The book contains some surprises – some alarming, some encouraging. The status of some birds has improved over the last two decades as a result of dedicated conservation management. Some may not have changed status but at least they are holding their own. Many, however, are continuing to decline and a distressing number are new to the list. There is also an increasing number of birds for which captive insurance populations need not only to be considered as a future option but actively pursued before it is too late. But this is not a book of lost causes. It is a call for action to keep the extraordinary biodiversity we have inherited and pass the legacy to our children. Every one of Australia's threatened taxa can be saved. This book describes the populations of species at greatest risk and outlines ways we can turn them around. 2012 Whitley Award Commendation for Zoological Resource.
