Marmots
In this book, based on over twenty years of study around the world, the author summarizes and synthesizes virtually everything that is known of the social behaviour and ecology of marmots. The organizing principle of the author's approach is evolution by natural selection - and thus, the degree to which the social behaviour of free-living animals can be interpreted as representing adaptations to particular environmental conditions. This book is essentially a single, widespread genus (genus Marmota comprising fourteen species found in North America and Eurasia. As such, it represents a productive union of theoretical insights from Darwinism and modern sociobiology, accompanied by a wealth of empirical data. Marmots are notable in that they constitute a relatively homogeneous group, made up of numerous species which greatly resemble each other. However, they occupy widely varying habitats - from temperate, lowland elevations to (more often) alpine meadows - and theory would predict behavioural adaptations to match their habitats.

A Marmot's Tale
The beautifully illustrated watercolour A4 version of A Marmot's Tale, the children's book that introduces kids to political ideas in a fun way. Lester the marmot is happy and carefree. He loves fine food. He loves fine art. He loves fine clothes. One day, during a game of hide and seek, Lester loses his best friend Alice. Unable to find her in all her favourite hiding places, he sets off through the forest to find her. On his search he encounters all the wonderful creatures of Westfalia. As he asks each group for help Lester discovers that not everyone in Westfalia organises themselves in the same ways. From the decisive Bear King Louis to the the quarrelling Council of Forest Elders, Lester soon realises that each animal group has its own strengths and weaknesses when it comes to getting things done. What started as a straightforward search for Alice quickly transforms into a journey of discovery that changes Lester's understanding of himself and the world around him.

Colorado Above Treeline
For a traveler on the black ribbons of highways that stretch across the Great Plains, the sight of the Rocky Mountains rising up in the west is a majestic o the treeless peaks shimmer in winter with a white mantle of snow and, in summer, seem to erupt through the green belt of vegetation encircling the lower slopes.

Author Jeremy Agnew describes what defines the tundra, the history that has marked it, and the kinds of plants and creatures that inhabit this unique environment. He then leads you on trips to these open, remote expanses, including scenic drives, rugged 4WD routes, and classic hikes, along the way offering many opportunities for further exploration. Practical information, fullcolor photographs and maps, and alpine anecdotes round out this introduction to some of Colorado's most celebrated scenery. Book jacket.
Tools for High Performance Computing
Developing software for current and especially for future architectures will require knowledge about parallel programming techniques of applications and library p- grammers. Multi-core processors are already available today, and processors with a dozen and more cores are on the horizon. The major driving force in hardware development, the game industry, has - ready shown interest in using parallel programming paradigms, such as OpenMP for further developments. Therefore developers have to be supported in the even more complex task of programming for these new architectures. HLRS has a long-lasting tradition of providing its user community with the most up-to-date software tools. Additionally...
