Book Synopsis The Secret Perfume of Birds by : Danielle J. Whittaker
Download or read book The Secret Perfume of Birds written by Danielle J. Whittaker and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The untold story of a stunning discovery: not only can birds smell, but their scents may be the secret to understanding their world. The puzzling lack of evidence for the peculiar but widespread belief that birds have no sense of smell irked evolutionary biologist Danielle Whittaker. Exploring the science behind the myth led her on an unexpected quest investigating mysteries from how juncos win a fight to why cowbirds smell like cookies. In The Secret Perfume of Birds—part science, part intellectual history, and part memoir—Whittaker blends humor, clear writing, and a compelling narrative to describe how scent is important not just for birds but for all animals, including humans. Whittaker engagingly describes how emerging research has uncovered birds' ability to produce complex chemical signals that influence their behavior, including where they build nests, when they pick a fight, and why they fly away. Mate choice, or sexual selection—a still enigmatic aspect of many animals' lives—appears to be particularly influenced by smell. Whittaker's pioneering studies suggest that birds' sexy (and scary) signals are produced by symbiotic bacteria that manufacture scents in the oil that birds stroke on their feathers when preening. From tangerine-scented auklets to her beloved juncos, redolent of moss, birds from across the world feature in Whittaker's stories, but she also examines the smelly chemicals of all kinds of creatures, from iguanas and bees to monkeys and humans. Readers will enjoy a rare opportunity to witness the twisting roads scientific research can take, especially the challenging, hilarious, and occasionally dangerous realities of ornithology in the wild. The Secret Perfume of Birds will interest anyone looking to learn more about birds, about how animals and humans use our senses, and about why it can sometimes take a rebel scientist to change what we think we know for sure about the world—and ourselves.
Book Synopsis Birds, Bees, and Me by : Collin Brice
Download or read book Birds, Bees, and Me written by Collin Brice and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-05-08 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As does the soul of a gay, celibate Christian, the book Birds, Bees, and Me makes its home at the junction of spirituality and sexuality. From adolescence on, navigating the confusion of these topics with the ambiguity of a queer sort of Christianity is both awkward and heart-wrenchingly lonely. Birds, Bees, and Me is here to provide snapshots throughout the journey of one Christian boy who found himself exclusively attracted to other men. The narrative moves forward and backward through the speaker’s life in order to paint a picture of the shattered pieces of himself that must be picked up throughout the years. Suicidal thoughts, panic attacks, and self-hatred all ensue cyclically with each new discovery and paradigm shift as the author begins to chase after intimacy, identity, and sexuality in ways that his faith had previously restricted. But with each step there is also an invigorated readiness which braces for the cold, misunderstanding world that he and his sexuality must learn to flourish in.

Book Synopsis Beyond Birds and Bees by : Bonnie J. Rough
Download or read book Beyond Birds and Bees written by Bonnie J. Rough and published by Seal Press. This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative inquiry into how we teach our children about bodies, sex, relationships and equality--with revelatory, practical takeaways from the author's research and eye-opening observations from the world-famous Dutch approach Award-winning author Bonnie J. Rough never expected to write a book about sex, but life handed her a revelation too vital to ignore. As an American parent grappling with concerns about raising children in a society steeped in stereotypes and sexual shame, she couldn't quite picture how to teach the facts of life with a fearless, easygoing, positive attitude. Then a job change relocated her family to Amsterdam, where she soon witnessed the relaxed and egalitarian sexual attitudes of the Dutch. There, she discovered, children learn from babyhood that bodies are normal, the world's best sex ed begins in kindergarten, cooties are a foreign concept, puberty is no big surprise, and questions about sex are welcome at the dinner table. In Beyond Birds and Bees, Rough reveals how although normalizing human sexuality may sound risky, doing so actually prevents unintended consequences, leads to better health and success for our children, and lays the foundation for a future of gender equality. Exploring how the Dutch example translates to American life, Rough highlights a growing wave of ambitious American parents, educators, and influencers poised to transform sex ed--and our society--for the better, and shows how families everywhere can give a modern lift to the birds and bees. Down to earth and up to the minute with our profound new cultural conversations about gender, sex, power, autonomy, diversity, and consent, Rough's careful research and engaging storytelling illuminate a forward path for a groundbreaking generation of Americans who want clear examples and actionable steps for how to support children's sexual development--and overall wellbeing--from birth onward at home, in schools, and across our evolving culture.

Book Synopsis The Secret Life of Flies by : Erica McAlister
Download or read book The Secret Life of Flies written by Erica McAlister and published by Firefly Books. This book was released on 2022-09 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. McAlister has captured her affection for the Diptera in The Secret Life of Flies, a short, rich book by turns informative and humorous, both a hymn of praise to her favorite creatures and a gleeful attempt to give readers the willies. -- New York Times An enjoyable and informative read. Highly recommended for anyone interested in biology and in particular those intrigued by entomology and zoology. -- Library Journal Stories and science about nature's most complex, crucial and highly adaptive insect. The Secret Life of Flies takes readers into the hidden world of snail killers, con artists, crazy sex and a great many silly names. It dispels common misconceptions about flies and reveals how truly extraordinary, exotic and important are these misunderstood creatures. There are 10 chapters: 1. The immature ones -- Squirmy wormy larvae can be just a bit unnerving. 2. The pollinators -- Those annoying No See Ums, or midge flies, are the only pollinator of the chocolate-producing cacao tree. 3. The detritivores -- These garbage eaters are often fluffy and thus water-repellent, good for a life spent in a sewer. 4. The vegetarians -- Entomological spelunkers, many of these flies prefer plant roots. 5. The fungivores -- The mushroom eaters include the dark-winged fungus gnats. 6. The predators -- Here are the most devious and imaginative methods of luring, capturing and eating prey. 7. The parasites -- Their methods of survival are often disgusting but the evolutionary genius is admirable. 8. The sanguivores -- Exactly why do we have blood-sucking disease-spreading mosquitos? 9. The coprophages -- The champions of dung, detritus and other unpleasant things. 10. The necrophages -- The body eaters without which we would be in a most disagreeable situation. In clear language, McAlister explains Diptera taxonomy and forensic entomology, and describes the potential of flies to transform their relationship with humans from one of disease vector to partner in environmental preservation. She has a wonderful knack for storytelling, deftly transforming what could be dry descriptions of biology, reproduction and morphology into entertainment. She takes readers to piles of poo in Ethiopia by way of underground caves, latrines and backyard gardens, and opens the drawers at the Natural History Museum to rhapsodize over her favorite flies.
Book Synopsis The Secret Life of an Arable Field by : Sophie McCallum
Download or read book The Secret Life of an Arable Field written by Sophie McCallum and published by White Owl. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Field looks at the eco-system of an arable field, complete with photographs from crops, trees, hedgerows and wildflowers, to the wide variety of animals, farmland birds, insects, butterflies and moths that they support; and how they depend on each other; and are all vital for the wonderful environment we need to thrive and enjoy. The book focuses on the relationship between these key species, how they work together and interact with their environment in order to survive. It is about the eco-system and how they all link together, and how every species, no matter how seemingly insignificant, plays a vital part in the food-chain and ultimate survival of all species. For every species referred there is a photograph detailing it, with over 120 color images throughout the book. The animals and birds that live within this habitat are reported on and the insects; including detailed analysis of bumblebees, honeybees and ants, as well as more hidden species such as the earthworm, are described in their role in life, with in-depth facts and photos. Wildlife, such as badgers, muntjacs, hedgehogs and fallow deer and their habits are detailed, along with birds that survive on farmland and are now sadly becoming rare. Included in this range are corn buntings, skylarks, goldfinches, kestrels, yellow wagtails and jackdaws, although there are many more. The main aim of this book is to give a detailed description of the private life of these creatures and show how they depend upon and work together in harmony, creating the environment that we are so adeptly eradicating. The Government have set out a package of reforms to deliver 300,000 new homes a year by the mid-2020s. Our havens of nature are being destroyed and this book will examine, with photographs and text, what really makes the field a special place, both for wildlife and humans alike.

Are you ready to do the work? Like for real? The The Birds and Bees of Joyful Monogamy has arrived in your lap at the perfect time. Sometimes Couples authors get dedicated to one point of view or perspective, and you end up needing to read five to ten books to gather the best material, research and work that exists. Look no further - this book provides a wealth of the predominant research on happy marriages and couples and then puts muscle behind that information with risky, sexy and in-depth exercises designed to transform your relationship.If you think your partner may not join you on the adventure of this hands-on book, no worries. You will create value by doing the work yourself. And, if you have the delight of diving in with a partner who is ready for date nights that deepen your connection and set you up for a lifetime of a passionately alive partnership, then ENJOY!Lynne Sheridan has a unique perspective in that she has been an international transformational trainer for 27 years, working with tens of thousands of people in creating what matters, wealth, success and yes, happy relationships. At the same time, she is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, working with clients who really want to do the work to have their partnership thrive. And after conducting Couples Retreats for nearly fifteen years, she has ample material and evidence to back her practices.In the Prologue, Lynne makes it clear that this isn't a self-help book where the author peddles philosophy from a pedestal, she's been in the muck with all of us: "In fact, my third year of marriage was hell. I imagined from the author of a book on relationship bliss, but it's the truth. And the truth sometimes is painful to acknowledge and even harder to admit. But I have also learned that once you acknowledge a painful truth, you can create something else. That year of hell became the compost for the development of incredible growth, over a decade of successful Couples Retreats and scores of couples knowing what's possible in their relationships. It makes sense-put any seed in total shit, and something amazing will blossom out of the dung. It isn't a pretty process, but the yield is amazing. There is no doubt about it; that year of hell was the beginning of the turning point for my marriage and our relationship. I didn't know it then, but it would have made it easier to get through if I would have known that somehow gems would be mined from the minefield that became a lot of our conversations."Dream University founder and best-selling author Marcia Weider says: "Lynne has a way of making complicated material accessible and usable. She also has the unique ability to take what appears to be conflicting or differing perspectives and weave them together, showing patterns and similarities that allow for a deeper understanding of ourselves and significant others.What that means is that not only will you glean fresh insights but also a real understanding of the inner workings of your relationships. And through the powerful exercises in each chapter, you will be able to immediately put in to use what you are learning. With Lynne's guidance, you will have more than a conceptual awareness of the material but also simple practices to live and embody this wisdom."Best-selling author Raymond Aaron says: "Sometimes when it comes to relationship advice, authors have a way of getting caught in one perspective. Lynne has found a way to weave together cutting-edge research on relationships, and bring it to life with experiential processes for you to follow. At the same time, Lynne gives very real examples from others, as well as from her own life, with humbling vulnerability. You can count on Lynne being candid, clear, and saying it like it is, and giving you permission and ways to practice doing the same."
