EAN 9781643139333 Although the jackalope is an 157408 invention of the imagination, it is nevertheless connected to actual horned rabbits, which exist in nature and have for centuries been collected and studied by naturalists. Around the time two young boys were creating the first jackalope in Wyoming, Dr. Richard Shope was making his first breakthrough about the cause of the horns: a virus. The most important of these is the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, which protects against cervical and other cancers. Today, jackalopes are literally helping us cure cancer.

Secret Perfume of Birds: Uncovering the Science of Avian Scent Danielle J. Whittaker 121381 Evolutionary biologist Danielle Whittaker engagingly describes how emerging research has uncovered birds' ability to produce complex chemical signals that influence their behaviour, including where they build nests, when they pick a fight, and why they fly away. From tangerine-scented auklets to her beloved juncos, redolent of moss, birds from across the world feature in Whittaker's stories, but she also examines the smelly chemicals of all kinds of creatures, from iguanas and bees to monkeys and humans.

EAN 9781541674639 Scientists haven't been able to101261 reach a consensus on whether animals even have emotions like humans do, let alone how to study them. Yet studies of animal emotion are critical for understanding human emotion and mental illness. In 'The Nature of the Beast,' pioneering neuroscientist David J. Anderson describes a new approach to solving this problem. He explains what studying emotions and related internal brain states in animals can teach us about human behaviour, offering new insights into why isolation makes us more aggressive, how sex and violence connect, and whether there's a link between aggression and mental illness.

Bald Eagle: The Improbable Journey of America's Bird Jack E. Davis 103955 EAN 9781631495250 For centuries, Americans have celebrated the bald eagle as 'majestic,' yet savaged the living bird behind their national symbol as a malicious predator of livestock and, falsely, a snatcher of babies.

'Sexus wanted to know about the reproductive systems, genital organs, and sexual practices of animals, from elephants (who masturbate with their trunks) to fruit flies (who produce spermatozoa twenty times their size). In the animal kingdom we find heterosexual, lesbian, gay, and bisexual behaviour, as well as monogamy, polygamy, and polyandry. It seems that animals have been composing their own 'Kama Sutra' throughout the ages. Striking colour illustrations accompany the text.
