ISBN: 1250894867 | EAN: 9781250894861

BasicBinding: Paperback

Features: Bibliography, Illustrated, Price on Product | Pages: 304

Annotation: "Picture yourself in the cretaceous period. It's a sunny afternoon in the Hell Greek ecosystem of ancient Montana 66 million years ago. A Triceratops horridus ambles along the edge of the forest, enjoying this endless summer of the dinosaurs. But in a matter of hours, everything here will be wiped away. As we watch, an asteroid some seven miles across is set to slam into Earth, leaving a geologic wound over fifty miles in diameter, and bringing an end to the Age of Dinosaurs. In the terrible mass extinction that will follow, more than half of known species will vanish seemingly overnight. The dinosaurs will all but diappear as mammals will rise to claim and reshape the planet, and you will be a witness to this fantastic transformation. In The Last Day of the Dinosaurs, Riley Black walks readers through what happened in the days, the years, the centuries, and the million years after the impact, drawing from the latest science to track the sweeping disruptions that overtook Hell Greek and the rest of the planet. Even during a time of horrible destruction and loss, life will find a way."-- Back cover.

ISBN: 0063226707 | EAN: 9780063226708

BasicBinding: Paperback

Features: Bibliography, Index, Price on Product | Pages: 368

Annotation: Singer returns to the major arguments and examples of his seminal 1975 work and brings us to the current moment. This edition, revised from top to bottom, covers important reforms in the European Union, and now in various U.S. states. On the flip side, Singer shows the impact of the expansion of factory farming due to demand for animal products in China. Singer describes how meat consumption is taking a toll on the environment, and factory farms pose a profound risk for spreading new viruses even worse than COVID-19. Animal Liberation Now includes alternatives to what has become a profound environmental and social as well as moral issue. Framed as an appeal to conscience, fairness, decency, and justice, it is intended for the supporter and the skeptic alike.

Birdpedia: A Brief Compendium of Avian Lore

BasicBinding: Hardcover

Publisher: Princeton University Press

Date Published: 07-2021

Illustrator: McBride, Abby

ISBN: 0691209669 | EAN: 9780691209661

BasicBinding: Hardcover

Features: Bibliography, Illustrated, Price on Product | Pages: 272

Annotation: "This book is an engaging and interesting compendium of bird facts. Presented in a format similar to that of Lawrence Millman's Fungipedia, the book contains alphabetized entries on all things birds- from basic biology, through taxonomy, to folklore and potted biographies of key figures in the development of ornithology. Entries are written with a general audience in mind, but are charming enough to attract expert birders as well. The book has roughly 180 entries, on topics such as "anting," where birds visit ant nests to allow ants to crawl over their plumage, a method of killing feather mites, to entries on famous ornithologists such as Alexander Wilson and John James Audubon. The entries will be accompanied by approximately 50 black and white line drawings by Abby, McBride"--
