The history of pigs and humans Babirusas (also known as pig-deer) Pot-belled pigs Red river hogs Wild Boars Feral Pigs Peccaries Warthogs Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Pigs have long been a part of human life. The ancient Israelites considered them unclean animals, and would not eat them; however, many, many cultures consider them a great source of food. The pig is present in the Chinese zodiac, a way of keeping track of years by assigning twelve animals, one to each year. It's also said to predict traits and such about people born in those years.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Table of Contents Introduction What is a beluga whale? How do beluga whales act? Where did beluga whales come from? The history of beluga whales and humans Beluga whales and conservation Beluga whales and culture Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction The beluga whale, also known as the white whale, is a favorite of many people. It's intelligent and cute, not unlike a larger dolphin. What really draws a lot of people is its pure white color, which is attractive and attention-getting to humans in the same way a black jaguar or a pink slug is. As a sea creature, the beluga whale is an important part of its environment, and has had an impact on humans. Or, more accurately, humans have had an impact on the beluga whale. Much like puffins, the beluga whale helped humans live in areas that are hard to live in. This wasn't done without a cost to the beluga whale, however, as you shall soon see.…

Publisher Introduction Chinchillas are fun, cute, and highly unique animals. Most people can claim that they have heard of a chinchilla, but very few know what they look like, or know much about them. This is because chinchillas are not native to a very unique part of the world, meaning they live in only one small area of the world. Chinchillas were discovered in the 1500s by Spanish explorers that came to South America. Even though they were discovered in the 1500s, it wasn't until the 1900s that people came to know more about chinchilla. Today, chinchillas can be kept as pets, and because of their cute and cuddly appearance, and their unique and quirky personalities, people all over the world have fallen in love with them. This book will talk about what chinchillas are, where they live and how they live, what they eat, and why these little furry critters are so lovably unique.…

Golden Retrievers - Dog Books for Kids Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1 Early History Chapter 2 Fascinating Features & Care Chapter 3 Amazing Golden Retriever facts Conclusion A Family's best friend Author Bio Dog Books for Kids Introduction A dog is man's best friend, and vice versa. -Anonymous Golden Retrievers are considered 'the perfect family pet.' They are charming, warm, tolerant, versatile, intelligent and very friendly. A large size dog breed, they were originally bred as gun dogs and used during hunting to help retrieve game like ducks and waterfowl. As the name indicates, retrievers were used to retrieve things but their athletic skills go beyond hunting. For one thing, Retrievers love the water. It is almost instinctive to them and they will not hesitate to get wet. They thrive on activities that give them something to do. It can be a nice game of fetch, some fun at the beach, running around the yard or racing across an open field. Although bred as a part of working dogs, Golden retrievers are one of the top ten most popular dog breeds today. They are also well known for their participation in conformation shows. And this versatile nature extends beyond dog shows and into the home. For example, Golden Retrievers are used as guide dogs for the blind and hearing dogs for those who are impaired. Their skills include search and rescue and detection dogs. They love to play but this does not mean they are not trainable. Retrievers love to learn new things, so training your dog to accept new commands is a breeze When it comes to relationships, the Retriever's gentle and patient demeanor makes them an excellent companion for children, and their affectionate nature will endear them to the entire family. Although exercise is required for this breed, it can enjoy calm indoor activities as well. And its tranquil nature makes it a delight no matter where you may be. For these reasons and many more, Golden Retrievers are highly recommended as a loyal and faithful companion. Their steadfast obedient and loyal nature is not only deserving of the title man's best friend but also. Best family friend.…

Paperback. Condizione: Fair. The vitality and accessibility of Fritjof Capra's ideas have made him perhaps the most eloquent spokesperson of the latest findings emerging at the frontiers of scientific, social, and philosophical thought. In his international bestsellers The Tao of Physics and The Turning Point, he juxtaposed physics and mysticism to define a new vision of reality. In The Web of Life, Capra takes yet another giant step, setting forth a new scientific language to describe interrelationships and interdependence of psychological, biological, physical, social, and cultural phenomena--the web of life. During the past twenty-five years, scientists have challenged conventional views of evolution and the organization of living systems and have developed new theories with revolutionary philosophical and social implications. Fritjof Capra has been at the forefront of this revolution. In The Web of Life, Capra offers a brilliant synthesis of such recent scientific breakthroughs as the theory of complexity, Gaia theory, chaos theory, and other explanations of the properties of organisms, social systems, and ecosystems. Capra's surprising findings stand in stark contrast to accepted paradigms of mechanism and Darwinism and provide an extraordinary new foundation for ecological policies that will allow us to build and sustain communities without diminishing the opportunities for future generations. Now available in paperback for the first time, The Web of Life is cutting-edge science writing in the tradition of James Gleick's Chaos, Gregory Bateson's Mind and Matter, and Ilya Prigogine's Order Out of Chaos.…
