Petrels, Albatrosses, and Storm-Petrels of North America

The first book of its kind, this guide features an introduction that explains ocean habitats and t...
Scarlett the Pig
When Steve Howell decided that his current profession was not as good as it sounded, he planned to move to a small hamlet in Shropshire called Cardeston with his eight-year-old daughter. He did NOT plan to purchase a derelict farm house, buy a few pigs and take one on Britain's Got Talent or try to blow up two oak trees (but we can forget about that). Being a single father was hard enough, so running a farm must be easier...Right?

The Amazing World of Flyingfish
A one-of-a-kind illustrated book that presents flyingfish as you've never seen them before If you travel the open ocean anywhere in the tropics, you are very likely to see flyingfish. These beautifully colored "ocean butterflies" shoot out of the water and sail on majestic, winglike pectoral fins to escape from predators such as dolphins, swordfish, and tuna. Some can travel for more than six hundred feet per flight. Yet despite their prevalence in warm ocean waters and their vital role in the tropical food chain, surprisingly little is known about flyingfish—more than 60 species are said to exist, but nobody is sure of the number. This beautifully illustrated book presents flyingfish as y...

Handbook of CCD Astronomy
Charge-Coupled Devices (CCDs) are the state-of-the-art detector in many fields of observational science. Updated to include all of the latest developments in CCDs, this second edition of the Handbook of CCD Astronomy is a concise and accessible reference on all practical aspects of using CCDs. Starting with their electronic workings, it discusses their basic characteristics and then gives methods and examples of how to determine these values. While the book focuses on the use of CCDs in professional observational astronomy, advanced amateur astronomers, and researchers in physics, chemistry, medical imaging, and remote sensing will also find it very valuable. Tables of useful and hard-to-find data, key practical equations, and new exercises round off the book and ensure that it provides an ideal introduction to the practical use of CCDs for graduate students, and a handy reference for more experienced users.
