Hoof Beats
"Hoof Beats helps readers see the drama even in the grass eating. . . . Taylor has written that too-rare work that is as authoritative as it is legible to the lay audience."--New York Times Journey to the ancient past with cutting-edge science and new data to discover how horses forever altered the course of human history. From the Rockies to the Himalayas, the bond between horses and humans has spanned across time and civilizations. In this archaeological journey, William T. Taylor explores how momentous events in the story of humans and horses helped create the world we live in today. Tracing the horse's origins and spread from the western Eurasian steppes to the invention of horse-drawn transportation and the explosive shift to mounted riding, Taylor offers a revolutionary new account of how horses altered the course of human history. Drawing on Indigenous perspectives, ancient DNA, and new research from Mongolia to the Great Plains and beyond, Taylor guides readers through the major discoveries that have placed the horse at the origins of globalization, trade, biological exchange, and social inequality. Hoof Beats transforms our understanding of both horses and humanity's ancient past and asks us to consider what our relationship with horses means for the future of humanity and the world around us.

Birdbrains
Birdbrains: A Lyrical Guide to Washington State Birds is a one-of-a-kind Washington State bird guide. The anthology includes original pen and ink sumi-e paintings by artist Hiroko Seki, bird fact notes, and short poems/stories/memoir. Poems/prose are bird-focused rather than human centered. The bird notes include information about song, call, mating rituals, habitat, migration, climate, dark comedy, and fun facts.There's a saying among people who look up at the sky to view birds-the more you study birds, the smarter they become. That's the inside joke for the title of this anthology. Birdbrains is a compliment to the birds and to the humans who take time to study them. For example, Magpies can recognize themselves in the mirror; Chickadees collect one thousand seeds a day, hide them over miles, and then find them again; and crows frequently hold crow funerals after one of their own dies-first there is stillness, then quiet, then keening. From the most common Rock Pigeon, to the rare Mystērium Rara Avis, we hope this collection will offer you wonder and joy. Get up from wherever you are sitting right now and go outdoors, binoculars or not. Watch what is happening all around us. With the right kind of attention, what might we see?Birdbrains brings to the stage 107 species of Washington birds in the words of ninety-eight talented poets and writers. Thecontributors come from different regions of Washington State, from other parts of the USA, and even from faraway lands such as Ireland. In the mix of talent, there are contributions from four Washington State Poet Laureates (Elizabeth Austen, Claudia Castro Luna, Kathleen Flenniken, and Derek Sheffield), three Pulitzer Prize winners (Rae Armantrout, Ted Kooser, and Diane Seuss) and a special collaborative poem by Ann Teplick's young students at Seattle Children's.
Insect Forms and Patterns Exploring the Language of Nature
This book by Andreas Suchantke is about insects, but it also opens up a door to realms that go beyond entomology. Suchantke focuses on the morphology of insects. He takes morphology in a broad sense to include not only their forms, shapes, patterns, and colors, but also their behaviors, development, and lifecycles. In other words, he brings us back to our senses, to the concrete and manifold appearances of beetles, butterflies, bees, and their kin.These sensible manifestations are, for Suchantke, a "script, a language of forms, which we must learn to read." His work is not a schematic or comprehensive overview of entomology. It does not propose or defend a general theory, model, or hypotheses whereby we might explain this or that feature of insects. It is, rather, an exploration of the language of nature. He gives the reader not just new things to see, but a new way of seeing; not just a panoply of interesting, but mute or "brute," entomological facts, but new living ideas. His hope is that by exploring and cultivating such living ideas, we might learn to allow the appearances of insects to become their own language and to speak to us.Andreas Suchantke (1933-2014) was born in Basel, Switzerland. He was trained in zoology and botany at the universities of Munich and Basel. For nineteen years he taught natural sciences in the Waldorf school in Zurich and became increasingly involved in Waldorf teacher training in European and non-European countries. He travelled extensively with a focus on developing an ecological understanding of landscapes and the traditional cultures inextricably bound up with them. His research resulted in a number of books, of which Metamorphosis of Plants written with Jochen Bockem羹hl (Novalis Press, 1995), Eco-Geography (Lindisfarne Books, 2001), and his magnum opus Metamorphosis: Evolution in Action (Adonis Press, 2009) have been translated into English.
Birds of Crater Lake National Park
Crater Lake National Park mesmerizes thousands of visitors each year with its stunning vistas, natural beauty, and wildlife, including the extraordinary birds that are found there. In Birds of Crater Lake National Park, Stewart Janes introduces readers to Oregon's high-country birds and those that are most frequently encountered on visits to the park. The high country is a hostile environment; the birds that live there confront challenges--elevation, weather, geology, habitat--that their lowland relatives do not have to endure. Species that inhabit the high country must be adaptable and resourceful. From the Clark's Nutcracker to the White-crowned Sparrow, the guide provides species accounts of the most characteristic birds found in the park.

Lab Dog
The "remarkable" (Dr. Jane Goodall) story of a beagle's past, and the future of animal research When journalist Melanie D.G. Kaplan adopted her beagle Hammy, all she knew was that he had spent nearly four years in a research lab. Curious to know more about this gentle creature's past, as well as the broader world of animal research, Kaplan--with Hammy in tow--embarks on a quest for answers. How did Hammy end up in a research facility? Why are we still using millions of animals a year in experiments? What have we learned from them? Is there another way? In Lab Dog, Kaplan investigates the breeding and use of beagles for biomedical research, drug and product testing, and education. She takes readers on a journey, peeking behind laboratory doors and visiting with researchers, activists, ethicists, veterinarians, lawmakers, and innovators. Along the way, she finds thoughtful and caring humans on all sides of the debate, explores promising developments in nonanimal testing, and discovers puzzle pieces from Hammy's past.

Venomous River
Join herpetologist Eli Greenbaum on his race to identify a multitude of unidentified species in the Congo, a volatile African region overcome with population pressure, military oppression, and climate change. These are the backdrop challenges to the science pursued by Dr. Greenbuam in this timely work worthy of Darwin. Venomous River chronicles a field scientist's search for new species in the Congo Basin, one of the world's great crucibles of biodiversity, in the face of climate change. Although tropical forests cover less than 10 percent of Earth's land surface, they are home to about two-thirds of the planet's terrestrial biodiversity. Unfortunately, a ballooning human population has severely damaged half of the planet's pristine ecosystems and the biodiversity they contained, leading to an unfolding sixth mass extinction. In Joseph Conrad's famous 1899 novella Heart of Darkness, he described the Congo River as "a great snake." More than a century later, herpetologist, evolutionary biologist, and seasoned expedition leader Eli Greenbaum set out to find the Democratic Republic of the Congo's (Congo for short) incredible diversity of serpents in the flesh, along with the country's rarest frogs, lizards, crocodiles, and turtles, which live in and along Africa's second-largest river. For a biologist, an expedition into the heart of the Congo is a priceless gift, with its incredible species, known and unknown, lurking around every bend in the river. But the Congo is also a place of endemic political instability, widespread corruption, human suffering, and extraordinary danger. These, as much as the challenges of the natural world, confront any scientist doing field work in the Congo. Venomous River is the harrowing story of a biodiversity scientist's successful quest to discover several new amphibian and reptile species in the remotest heart of Africa, a wilderness where he encounters friendly peoples, a cook who is revealed to be a dangerous killer, highly venomous snakes and scorpions, deadly tropical diseases, and troubling echoes of the Congo's colonial history.

The Last Cows
Told from the unique perspective of a woman, mother, environmentalist, cowboy, and rancher, this work of literary nonfiction conveys the joys, challenges, heartbreaks, and qualms of contemporary ranching in the American West. On nineteen thousand acres of combined public and private land in Southwest Colorado, Kathryn Wilder and her son, with the help of additional family members, run Criollo cattle, a heritage breed that originated in Spain. Smaller by hundreds of pounds than other European breeds, these cows are uniquely adapted to the desert. In The Last Cows Wilder considers whether the integrity of her program--Criollo cattle, holistic management practices, and organically raised, grass-fed-and-finished beef sold through local markets--is enough to support a regenerative relationship between cattle and desert. And as Wilder approaches seventy, she considers how long she can maintain the demanding physical labor and complex schedule that have been part of her life's work. In this engaging and thoughtful narrative that blends biology, geology, natural history, and human history into her personal story, Wilder offers an intimate view into the inner workings of a rancher's heart.

Exploring the magic and folklore of feathered beings of both air and water. A fallen white feather that speaks of a loved one. Two magpies promising joy. The haunting call of an owl in the deep night, hinting at dark omens. For centuries, we've looked to the birds of air and water for answers in the form of divination, folklore, superstition, and legend. In this book, The Magic of Birds, you'll discover the supernatural side of songbirds like the robin, waterfowl like ducks and swans, and more well-known magical creatures like ravens and crows. With beautiful illustrations by Kay Savage, this book gently introduces the reader to the magical world of birds, in modern Paganism, ancient myth, and even local beliefs. Learn how to integrate bird magic into your spiritual practice, what certain birds in your dreams might mean, and even hold a seasonal ritual that honours our feathered cousins. Step into a wondrous realm that connects Earth, Sea, and Sky via the marvels of birds - and expands the horizons of the meaning of magic.
Oh My Goat!
Just how intelligent are the animals we call food? Have you ever stared at a steak, peered at a pork chop or glanced at a goat curry and wondered about that animal? Where did it come from, and how was it raised? Did that creature think, play, dream, or have feelings? Or was it simply a mindless creature destined for the dinner plate? " Oh, My Goat " takes a rollicking adventure through the history of how we have viewed, judged, treated, sacrificed, mummified, deified and - fried animals. Blending science, history, and humour, this book exposes the uncomfortable realities of modern factory farming - from towering hog hotels to chickens that grow so fast they fall over - and challenges the idea that these animals are simply products. Wild animals currently make up only 4% of Earth's mammalian biomass, with livestock dominating the rest. This sheds light on the importance of how we treat the animals we call "food". From the psychology of pigs, the social lives of sheep, and the cognitive powers of chickens, Gehlert reveals surprising research that shows just how much we share - biologically, cognitively and emotionally with the animals in our farms and on our forks. How much meat? Unbelievably, our love affair with meat may well have brought about the "Meatropocene", a term Gehlert coined to describe the profound impact the 360 million tons of meat we produce and consume each year has on our planet. But far from a guilt trip, the author invites us to look closer, think deeper, and make more informed choices. Whether you're a meat-eater, flexitarian, vegetarian, or just curious, Oh My Goat will challenge how you view the creatures behind your cuisine.
Pittas, Broadbills and Asities
The complete guide to these jewels of the tropical Old World undergrowth Inhabiting tropical and subtropical forests of the Old World, pittas, broadbills and asities include some of the most beautiful, elusive and sought-after birds on the planet. Pittas are medium-sized, insectivorous terrestrial birds that are rather thrushlike in their behaviour. Most are brilliantly coloured, generally solitary, and have a well-deserved reputation for secretive, skulking habits, adding to the challenge of seeing them in their often dark environment. The 52 species of pitta largely occur from Asia through Wallacea to New Guinea and Australia, with two (perhaps three) species in Africa. Broadbills are very different to pittas, being typically chunky birds with large heads, broad flattened beaks and short legs. The majority are colourful and sociable, but none are terrestrial. Three are highly frugivorous, but the others are largely insectivorous. They form a diverse group of 18 species in nine genera, of which four species are confined to Africa, with the rest in Asia. The four species of asities form an endemic Madagascan family. Two species are similar to broadbills, but the other two resemble sunbirds, even in their feeding habits. Breeding males have facial wattles (as do two broadbill species). The first monograph of these three groups was published in 1996; this book, by the same author, is its follow-up. Completely revised and updated, it draws together a wealth of material from the literature and from online and unpublished sources to provide the ultimate reference to these fascinating birds, from taxonomy and identification to habitat requirements, biology and ecology, accompanied by a stunning photographic selection, and the art of Martin Woodcock.
Mark Twain for Horse Lovers
Mark Twain's affection for cats is well-known, and no one would be surprised to hear he also liked dogs. Less well known, however, is his admiration for horses and their kin, donkeys and mules. Clearly fascinated with them, he wrote more about Equine animals than he did about either cats or dogs combined. This book offers a collection of Mark Twain's funniest and most compelling writings about equine animals. Organized chronologically within categories such as "Uneasy Rider," "Sorry Steeds," and "Eccentric Equines," the textual selections cover his early trips out west, his travels to Europe and Middle East, and his later years. The book also includes horse stories drawn purely from his imagination, including the short novella A Horse's Tale. Other equine vignettes are drawn from such Twain's classics as "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County," Huckleberry Finn, and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.
Mesozoic Art II
Following on from the hugely popular Mesozoic Art, this magnificent new volume showcases 25 amazing artists whose work represents the very best of palaeoart. Our knowledge of how dinosaurs and other extinct species looked is continuously evolving with each new palaeontological discovery, as is the dramatic art that depicts these ancient worlds. Palaeoartists now have access to more information than ever before, allowing them to achieve greater levels of accuracy in their work. Using fossilised material and the latest scientific knowledge, palaeoartists visualise and recreate creatures from the prehistoric world - they put flesh on the bones of long-extinct species and their environments. It is through this imaginative artform that fossils can be brought to life in fresh, breathtaking detail. Mesozoic Art II presents 25 new leading paleoartists who present life in the primordial past through a broad diversity of artistic styles and techniques, from traditional graphite pencils to cutting-edge digital art. Arranged by portfolio, each piece is accompanied by an extended captions by the highly regarded palaeontologists and artists Steve White and Darren Naish. The artwork featured in this stunning book offers so much more than images of dinosaurs: it also showcases the world they lived in, the other animals and plants that would have been a part of the species' ecosystem, and their place in the history of life on this planet.
The Social Lives of Birds
An exploration of all the ways in which birds are social creatures--from breeding to nesting to babysitting In The Social Lives of Birds, evolutionary biologist and author of Slow Birding Joan Strassmann examines what it means for birds of a feather to flock together. Some birds sleep together. Some join the foraging groups of other species. Some are only social during breeding season, forming nesting colonies in trees, cliffs, and sandbanks. Some are altruistic, helping to rear young that are not their own. Some males perform mating dances together. Strassmann explains how flocks provide safety in numbers, roosts offer warmth and shelter, and colonies allow for protected breeding. But group behavior is not without its costs--including increased competition, tick infestations, and more. Strassmann exposes the conflicts birds face and the many ways in which they resolve these conflicts. With stories of birds from around the world--from broad-winged hawks that migrate south together in the fall, tree swallows that roost together in the thousands, and guira cuckoos that nest in communes--The Social Lives of Birds explores the different kinds of bird groups and what to look for when watching them. Above all, it reveals this fact: solitary life, it seems, is not for the birds.

The Quarry Fox
A poignant and modern reminder of untamed creatures so close to home. --Sam Roberts, The New York TimesThe Quarry Fox and Other Critters of the Wild Catskills by Leslie T. Sharpe is the first in-depth study of Catskill wildlife since John Burroughs essentially invented the nature-writing genre in the 19th century.A red fox stands poised at the edge of its den, ears perked for danger as two fox kits frolic nearby. A black bear and her cubs hibernate beneath a felled tree. A barred owl snags a hapless cottontail from a meadow. In The Quarry Fox and Other Critters of the Wild Catskills, Leslie T. Sharpe Trains her keen eye and narrative gifts on these and other wildlife in her observations as a naturalist living in the Great Western Catskills.In these pages, Sharpe deftly weaves her experiences with the seasons, plants and creatures with their natural history, revealing their sensitivity to and resilience against the splendor and cruelty of Nature. Written in Sharpe's signature lyric style, The Quarry Fox is destined to take its place as a classic of the genre of American nature-writing, and proves that Sharpe, a lifelong naturalist and avid birder, is Burroughs's worthy successor.With echoes of Annie Dillard's Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, Sharpe's frank, scientific observations join with her deeply felt connection to these creatures to instill in readers an appreciation of the undaunted and variegated beauty of the Catskills and camaraderie with its animals. From contemplating the importance of milkweed for monarchs to lay their eggs to reveling in the first steps of a wobbly fawn, The Quarry Fox is a celebration of the natural world and our place in it.
