The purpose of this book is hopefully to make people aware of the future of this wonderful planet of ours. Yannis Vadakastanis is a man that was born on the Greek island of Zakynthos and at a young age became aware of the plight of the loggerhead turtles better known locally as caretta caretta. He then decided to try and help these wonderful animals that were here before the dinosaurs. For the last thirty years plus he has been building a centre in Gerakas Zakynthos, but this book is not just about him, it is about the wildlife, flora and fauna that live on this island that are struggling to survive now that tourism is deeply rooted on the island. the problem with discarded rubbish, not just here is a massive worrying problem all over the planet and should be a concern for everybody that lives on it! The greed for money and profit are guilty of destroying wildlife faster than we can ever imagine. Just think of the Amazon forests that are being destroyed daily and not forgetting the lust for palm oil. Every living thing has the absolute right to live peacefully and safely on this planet, "not just us". We can and should all live in harmony, nature has no problem taking care of its own, so what gives us the right to decide that we can destroy the planet. We are the only species on this earth that seem to think that we have the right to do so, and we are the only ones that can save it. if we decide to ignore it, then there will be nothing for the future. I hope that if after reading this book it will help you realise that this is not fiction but fact. " It's up to us, do you really want a paradise lost". The author Michael james Elves...

Dogs are a valued part of millions of households worldwide. They also serve many functions in human societies from herding livestock to detecting drugs, explosives, or illegal wildlife to providing physical assistance or emotional support to those in need. Yet, in terms of behavior and cognition, dogs have only become a serious subject of scientific study in the last 20 years. Similarly, we have recently witnessed a sharp increase in studies of canine-human interaction, exploring the motivational, emotional, cognitive, physiological, and neural mechanisms of dogs on human psychology and well-being. This book is a collection of chapters stemming from the Nebraska Symposium on Motivation, which focused on Canine Cognition and the Human Bond. The primary goal of this symposium was to bring together researchers from psychology, biology, neuroscience, and anthropology to delve deeper into the canine-human bond. These chapters describe the current state of knowledge from international experts in the fields of canine cognition and canine-human interaction. Bridging these two areas can help us better understand the canine-human bond, potentially improving the lives of both dogs and people.

The old adage, "When a student is ready, the teacher appears," doesn't say teachers are limited to the two-legged. In this true story, amid the beautiful backdrop of a small town in New Mexico in 1989, a woman seeks peace, answers, and perhaps redemption. On Thanksgiving morning, a mentor, healer, and teacher arrives at her home in the most unlikely of forms: an ugly, starving, beat-up cat. Thus begins an intimate and uplifting story about the power of Love. The feral cat's noble presence stimulates healing and conversations among a small cast of characters who form a circle of friends: her older neighbors, Gus and Emma; her Navajo friend, Jake; and the local MD and vet, Doc Parsons. Others join the cast - the Egg Lady and her husband; Carlita, the Mexican girl from down the street; and Barry Mackland and his dog, Ferrari. Together they explore some of life's biggest questions: What is love? How do I stop worrying? Do we still live after we die? How can I let go of the past and stay out of the future? How do I go through loss and grief in a healthy way? What breaks relationships? What heals them? These and other questions allow the reader to join in the explorations of self-awareness and the meaning of life. Over the span of a year, she and her friends experience profound life lessons and personal transformation. As they discover the richness of wisdom in friendship and community, the strange cat leads them on a journey of discovery... and miracles.

Captured ten years ago, strolling the streets of Charlotte, NC, this spirited, adventurous Silky Terrier, continues his audacious escapades in his adopted Smokey Mountain home. Better known as the "Mayor of Carriage Park," Tasha greets every person, dog, cat, or wild animal, as a possible source of friendship, a treat, or a pat on the head. Encounters with bears, copperheads, deer, possums, and turkeys highlight his daily hikes, making you either gasp with dread, or chuckle at his daring. However, it's the accounts of his relentless theft, pillage, and escape that earns him the reputation of resident pirate. Laugh out loud, or at least smile, as you cheer on this incorrigible, delinquent dog as he outwits, brawls with, and eludes his pursuers. Like Houdini, he perfects the art of quick getaways. His destination? Any locale that offers excitement and/or nourishment. He especially relishes construction sites with the possibility of the new smells of cement, lumber, and tar, but most of all workers' desirable leftover lunches. At home, he refines his larceny skills. Leaping two feet in the air from a standstill, he gains access to any surface, seizing otherwise forbidden delicacies--hot dogs, pasta, cookies, muffins, and candy, in addition to more ill-advised goodies like butter, lemons, chocolate, fertilizer, and peach pits. This nine-pound sleuth can steal from your purse, your lap, your suitcase, your hand, or your pocket, then race away, smirking the whole time, leaving you shocked, exasperated, but eventually delighted by his brazen bravery. As a bonus, the reader will be treated to stories of Tasha's long distant past. Imagine, a dog who sailed on the Titanic, toured with a circus, soared in Santa's sleigh, rocketed to the moon with Neil Armstrong, and even slept with Baby Jesus. Honest!

This book aims to provide fundamental knowledge and information for research in molecular systematics on parasitic helminths (nematode, trematode, cestode). The shreds of evidence of molecular systematics studies will be compiled and discussed in terms of the utilities and pitfalls of the genetic marker used for various purposes, which have been implemented for molecular systematics of parasitic nematodes, cestodes, and trematodes. Moreover, this book will also provide the procedure for research on molecular systematics and DNA taxonomy as the guideline to explore parasitic helminths. Finally, the further perspectives of utilizing genetic markers for molecular studies on parasitic helminths will be addressed in the context of applications from the laboratory to fieldwork such as DNA barcoding and environmental DNA metabarcoding of parasitic helminths.  The book will benefit postgraduate students and researchers requiring the detailed knowledge of molecular systematics, as well as researchers desiring a guideline to select genetic markers and analyze DNA sequences to make phylogenetic inferences
