Parrotnoia: A Psychoanalyst's Guide to Common Australian Birds is a collection of poems, drawings and a mystery novelette inspired by the bold eccentricity of Australian birds.

"Birding is more popular than ever, and for good reason. Birds are infinitely fascinating and inspiring, and can be found everywhere from forests to city parks to suburban backyards. Birding not only grounds us in our natural environment but is shown to reduce stress and support our mental well-being. It's something that can be done alone or in community, by anyone, anytime. In Birding for a Better World, Feminist Bird Club organizers Molly Adams and Sydney Golden Anderson expand on those ideas, discussing how the simple and timeless activity of birding is both deeply connected to issues of social and environmental justice and a meaningful way to experience joy. Journal prompts throughout this book provide moments for reflection and meditation, and beautiful illustrations by members of the Feminist Bird Club community can be found on almost every page. Whether you're new to birding or a longtime lover of birds, this book will deepen your relationship to the activity and to the larger community of birders around the world."--

From TikTok star to up-and-coming hat model, Bait has come a long way from his roots on the Rio Grande at the Texas-Mexico border. Nothing will stop him from becoming the world’s next top supermodel… certainly not the fact that he’s an amphibian.

Snakes are amongst the most fascinating, mysterious and unknown organisms on the planet.But due to unawareness, people have a certain phobia against them, and they often end up unnecessarily hurting, or even killing these magnificent creatures. But why? All over the world, only 20% snakes are venomous, out of which only 7% are fatal to humans. Even many superstitions across the globe cause many species to come on the brink of extinction.This may seem like a very small issue, but snakes too play a crucial role in the balance of nature. Cruelty to snakes is as serious as is cruelty to any other animal. Awareness amongst the population is absolutely necessary to end this. We all, every single one of us, must shoulder the responsibility to end false notions and superstitions, and to create awareness, that if we do not hurt them and leave them alone, they too will not hurt us. Their hurting us is all because of the damage we have inflicted upon nature and the Earth.In this book, I have tried to do my bit to help save these beautiful critters by including essential information about snake species, the IUCN red list, types of scales present on a snake's body, threats to snakes and ways to distinguish between a venomous and non-venomous snake simply by looking.

Even a witch can't run from her past forever.After returning home, Angelica is finally settling into her life in Silverlake, embracing her witchy powers and looking forward to the town-saving fall festival just days away.

As Angelica races against the clock before Sophia's death destroys the town, she realizes that not everything in Silverlake is as perfect as it seems, and the past has a way of catching up to even the most powerful witches.Will Angelica and her fellow witches be able to solve the case and save Silverlake's reputation, or will Sophia's death sink the town once and for all?

Climate change is one of the most severe dangers for mankind worldwide. Beside the temperature increase, the sea level will rise and flood wide coastal areas, which is already remarkable today. The effects will be dramatic, in particular, at coasts with low elevation gradients such as at the German coasts of the North and Baltic Sea. The impact will be not only severe for coastal people, but still more for the unique coastal ecosystems, which harbors many plant and animal species that are already endangered today.This book focuses on the coastal terrestrial ecosystems of the German North and Baltic Sea. It describes the reactions of plants and animals (i.e. spiders, carabid beetles, bees and nematodes) on the future temperature and sea level increase. The combination of field and experimental studies is unique for Europe and for many parts of the world. It not only studies the actual elevation gradients and the climatic and saline gradients fromWest to East, but also the historical changes to document processes at coastal ecosystems that were already passed. In contrast to many books that studied the marine processes with similar backgrounds, this book concerns the terrestrial coastal ecosystems that were overall rarely studied and, in particular, never studied under this specific viewpoint.

This volume presents a series of case studies, at different levels of inclusivity, of how organisms exhibit functional convergence as a key evolutionary mechanism resulting in responses to similar environmental constraints in mechanically similar ways. The contributors to this volume have selected and documented cases of convergent evolution of form and function that are perceived to be driven by environmental abiotic and/or biotic challenges that fall within their areas of expertise. Collectively these chapters explore this phenomenon across a broad phylogenetic spectrum. The sequence of chapters follows the organizational principle of increasing phylogenetic inclusivity, rather than the clustering of chapters by perceived similarity of the phenotypic features or biomechanical challenges being considered. This is done to maintain focus on the evolutionary phenomenon that is the primary subject matter of the book, thereby providing a basis for discussion among the readership about whatis necessary and sufficient to justify the recognition of functional convergence. All chapters stress the need for integrative approaches for the elucidation of both pattern and process as they relate to convergence at various taxonomic levels.
