Book Synopsis Turtle Tide by : Stephen R. Swinburne
Download or read book Turtle Tide written by Stephen R. Swinburne and published by Boyds Mills Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They swam the ocean when dinosaurs walked the earth. More than 100 million years later, they are swimming still. Today, however, they are fighting for their survival. These ancient and beautiful creatures are sea turtles. Here is the story of one sea turtle, a mother turtle that swims to shore. She digs a hole in a dune where she lays one hundred eggs. Following her instinct, she covers the eggs with sand and slowly makes her way back to sea. What happens next, from eggs to hatchlings, is one of the most extraordinary occurences in nature. For the eggs provide food for other animals. The eggs that survive produce hatchlings that, again, provide food for birds and crabs. For the hatchlings that survive, the journey from the nest to the water is filled with danger. And even those that make it to the ocean face an uncertain future. Steven Swinburne's text, with dramatic illustrations by Bruce Hiscock, is a blend of lyrical prose and fascinating facts. Together, words and paintings give young readers an understanding of how turtles give birth and how the young fight for survival.

Book Synopsis Sea Turtles of the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts of the United States by : Carol Ruckdeschel
Download or read book Sea Turtles of the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts of the United States written by Carol Ruckdeschel and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by two of the Southeast's foremost authorities on sea turtle conservation, this is an accessible, fully illustrated guide to the species that frequent the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts of the United States. No one who encounters a sea turtle soon forgets it. The leatherback, for instance, can grow to huge proportions, commonly approaching eight feet in length and more than half a ton in weight. Powerful swimmers, they are also among the deepest divers of all air-breathing sea creatures. Despite these assets, the survival of the leatherback, like that of all sea turtle species, is under constant threat from commercial fishing operations, overdevelopment of nesting grounds, pollution, and predation by introduced species. The guide opens with comprehensive coverage of the sea turtle's evolution, juvenile and adult life cycles, nesting, diet and feeding, disease and parasites, predators, and conservation issues. Each subsequent chapter is dedicated to a particular turtle species: loggerhead, leatherback, Kemp's ridley, green sea turtle, hawksbill, and olive ridley. The account of each species describes distribution, habitats, general appearance, life history and behavior, and conservation. For each species, photographs of hatchlings and adults and a map showing distribution and migration provide further information. Sea turtles have been swimming the seas for one hundred million years. Yet all of the species in this book—indeed, all sea turtles worldwide—are on U.S. and international endangered lists. Biologists Carol Ruckdeschel and C. Robert Shoop have dedicated their careers to learning about sea turtles—and to ensuring that we understand that we are stakeholders in the fate of these ancient creatures. With this guide in hand, readers will be better equipped to understand sea turtle biology and support sea turtle conservation efforts.

Accompanied by exquisite photographs, his descriptions comprise a personal introduction to these strangely graceful marine reptiles.
