Magic meets mystery in this quick-paced urban fantasy. With their lives on the line, will Maven and her friends find out who is hunting them before it’s too late? Maven is happy. Most everyone in her world is. She and her people live with the gift of intentional magic and empathy—the literal ability to feel the emotions of those around them. They live largely in peace, but then the unthinkable happens. On her father’s birthday, what begins as the simple goal of celebration ends with the singular determination to survive. Having witnessed a crime once thought impossible, Maven and her companions must go on the run to protect themselves. The safest place to hide is also the last any of them want to go: Tartooc, the Human realm. Reluctantly, they seek refuge in Brooklyn, NY. They are taken in take by Sam, a human who shares a complicated past with Maven. THE JUMP tells the story of a pivotal four-day search into the mysterious evil they saw and the secrets some have kept in order to stay alive as long as possible. The magic begins in THE JUMP, Book 1 of the trilogy. Buy it now!

This book investigates how fish experience their lives, their amazing senses and abilities, and how human actions impact their quality of life. The authors examine the concept of fish welfare and the scientific knowledge behind the inclusion of fish within the moral circle, and how this knowledge can change the way we treat fish in the future. In many countries fish are already protected by animal welfare legislation in the same way as mammals, but in practice there is still a major gap between how we ethically view these groups and how we actually treat them. The poor treatment of fish represents a massive animal welfare problem in aquaculture and fisheries, both in terms of the number of animals affected and the severity of the welfare issues. Thanks to its interdisciplinary scope, this thought-provoking book appeals to professionals, academics and students in the fields of animal welfare, cognition and physiology, as well as fisheries and aquaculture management.

This Scientific and Technical Report (STR) presents the findings of the IWA Task Group on River Water Quality Modelling (RWQM). The task group was formed to create a scientific and technical base from which to formulate standardized, consistent river water quality models and guidelines for their implementation. This STR presents the first outcome in this effort: River Water Quality Model No. 1 (RWQM1). As background to the development of River Water Quality Model No.1, the Task Group completed a critical evaluation of the current state of the practice in water quality modelling. A major limitation in model formulation is the continued reliance on BOD as the primary state variable, despite th...
