There's a killer loose in Cherry Hills, and it's up to Kat Harper to bring the guilty party to justice. Furry Friends Foster Families is in the business of saving lives, not solving murders. Yet that's exactly what treasurer Kat Harper finds herself doing in the middle of the animal rescue organization's end-of-summer fundraising drive. A dead body has turned up in the woods of a local park, and it's pretty clear Savannah Newton didn't die from natural causes. Between workplace rivalries and rocky romances, Kat soon discovers that Savannah's life was fraught with conflict. But just because someone has motive doesn't mean they're guilty. And if the amateur sleuth wants to solve this particular case, she's going to need to dig a little deeper . . . or else Savannah's killer might just get away with murder. All of the Cozy Cat Caper Mystery books can be enjoyed as standalones but will be better appreciated as part of the series. The books are light, fun cozy mysteries featuring an animal-loving female amateur sleuth, lovable and not-so-lovable quirky characters, and a page-turning mystery that needs solving. None of the books include cliffhangers, bad language, or graphic scenes.

Per molti l'Adriatico è un mare minore: acque troppo basse, spesso torbide, fondali limacciosi. Un mare per turisti che ne amano soprattutto le spiagge e le rive che degradano dolcemente. Pochi ne apprezzano la biologia e la varietà di vita; pochissimi lo conoscono per davvero.Questo è un libro sull'altro Adriatico, quello "sotto", quello vivo e a volte dimenticato. Appunti, notizie, storie, raccontano di delfini, balene, tartarughe, pesci luna, squali, tonni, pesci, molluschi e crostacei che lo popolano così come riempiono le 233 pagine di questo libro.Un mare che è come una culla. Le acque basse sono un rifugio, e se poi sono anche ricche di cibo ecco che diventano un ambiente accogliente e florido.Ma anche un mare fragile e delicato, messo in pericolo ogni giorno dagli scarichi di mille città, da una pesca intensiva, dalla maleducazione o l'incuria di chi non sa, per ignoranza o per pigrizia, apprezzarne le qualità oltre alle belle coste e ai porti accessibili.Buon viaggio Adriatico.

This book reviews and summarizes the studies on the fish diversity of Japan. It covers the present knowledge of ichthyofauna, habitat distribution, phylogeography, ecology, morphology, and conservation, as well as the history of ichthyology and fish collections in Japan. The book comprises five parts: I. Fish Diversity and Ichthyology of Japan, II. Habitat Distribution and Species Diversity, III. Diversity within Species: Phylogeographic Perspective on Japanese Fishes, IV. Morphological and Ecological Diversifications, and V. Conservation of Fish Diversity in Japan. The Japanese Archipelago is surrounded by two major warm and one cold currents. It is located in the western North Pacific and encompasses several climatic regimes from north to south. Although the land area of Japan is small, the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Japan ranks as the sixth largest in the world, including several marginal seas (Sea of Okhotsk, Sea of Japan, and East China Sea), and deep trenches (Izu-Ogasawara, Japan, and Kurile Trenches). Owing to a variety of marine habitats and a complex geological history, Japan has a rich fish species diversity, representing over 4,500 species in 370 families. The richness of fish species diversity has attracted many scientists since the late 1700s, and continuous studies have led to the development of ichthyology in Japan. With chapters written by leading experts in the field, the book will provide a stimulating and reliable resource for future research and contribute to the progress of ichthyology of the world.
