Becoming a Marine Biologist
A fascinating guide to a career in marine biology written by bestselling journalist Virginia Morell and based on the real-life experiences of an expert in the field—essential reading for someone considering a path to this profession. For the last two decades, Dr. Robin Baird has spent two months out of each year aboard a twenty-four-foot Zodiac boat in the waters off the big island of Hawai'i, researching the twenty-five species of whales and dolphins that live in the Pacific Ocean. His life may seem an impossible dream—but his career path from being the first person in his family to graduate college to becoming the leading expert on some of Hawai'i's marine mammals was full of twists an...
The Case of the Open Drawer
A Complicated Murder. Vance Horton was an unpleasant fellow, the kind whose name afflicts even hard-boiled men of the world with cold shudders of disgust. He had no friends, but, to counter-balance this, could count on a whole host of enemies. So much so that, when someone more impatient than usual decided to murder him, the police, to say nothing of two amateurs, had suspects to burn.

Inside the Inside Passage
This book is about the audacious spirit of four men, two teenagers who threw caution to the wind and thought anything was possible. Confronting huge oceans, ice flows, and gigantic glaciers with an adventurous spirit, they faced the trials and tribulations of taking a 21ft soft top boat and a 23ft power boat from Arizona to the inside passage of Alaska. With lady luck not always on their side they braved the 5 week adventure and made it a lifetime memory. An adventure story written almost 40 years ago it will make you laugh and wonder, what in the world they were thinking. Through their eyes take a passenger seat on the journey “Inside the inside passage”.
Fish Behaviour
Fishes are by far the most species-rich vertebrate taxon, and it is also the vertebrate group with the most strikingly diverse repertoire of behaviours and behavioural adaptations. As such, they provide us with many opportunities to explore the fascinating complexities of animal behaviour. Central questions addressed in this book include: How do se

Foraging Theory
This account of the current state of foraging theory is also a valuable description of the use of optimality theory in behavioral ecology in general. Organizing and introducing the main research themes in economic analyses of animal feeding behavior, the authors analyze the empirical evidence bearing on foraging models and answer criticisms of optimality modeling. They explain the rationale for applying optimality models to the strategies and mechanics of foraging and present the basic "average-rate maximizing" models and their extensions. The work discusses new directions in foraging research: incorporating incomplete information and risk-sensitive behavior in foraging models; analyzing tra...
