LINDEMAN PETER V
The Map Turtle And Sawback Atlas: Ecology Evolution Distribution And Conservation
University of Oklahoma Press Norman: 2013. Softcover. Brand new book. Covering all facets of the biology of a little-known genus Peter V. Lindeman's lavishly illustrated Map Turtle and Sawback Atlas is both a scientific treatise and an engaging introduction to a striking group of turtles. Map turtles and sawbacks found in and along rivers from Texas to Florida and north to the Great Lakes fascinate ecologists and evolutionary biologists. Over a short geologic time span these turtles achieved exceptional biological diversification. Their diets are also exceptionally diverse and a significant difference in size distinguishes males from females. Adult males are typically half or less the shell length of adult females making map turtles and sawbacks the champions of sexual dimorphism among not only turtles but all four-legged vertebrates. Aesthetics also draw biologists and hobbyists to map turtles and sawbacks. While the male Sabine map turtle may look to some like a "pencil-necked geek" as the author puts it markings on the shell limbs head and neck make map turtles among the most attractive turtles on earth. Sawbacks feature a striking ridge down their shell. Few turtles show themselves off to such advantage. Photographs included here of Graptemys basking poses reveal to what improbable heights these turtles can scale the spread-eagle sunning stances they adopt the stacking of individuals on a crowded site and the heads that warily watch the world above the waterline. In lively prose Lindeman details the habitat diet reproduction and life history natural history and population abundance of each species. A section on conservation status summarizes official state federal and international designations for each species along with efforts toward population management and recovery as well as habitat preservation. The author also outlines promising avenues for future research ranging from the effects of global climate change on populations to strategies for combating expansion of the pet trade. Peter V. Lindeman is Professor of Biology at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania and author of numerous articles on map turtles and sawbacks. University of Oklahoma Press, Norman: 2013 paperback

Lionni Leo
Nicolas Where Have You Been
New York: Alfred A. Knopf 1987. Unpaginated picture book backed in red cloth with silver lettering tan paper-covered boards stamped with image of a little mouse carrying a berry. Front cover is quite presentable with moderate corner bumps and minimal edgewear; rear cover has a significant scrape to bottom edge repaired with library tape. Front endpaper removed by library upon deaccession; clean aside from few library inkstamps; tight binding; light fingering to pages; one short page-turning tear. Dust jacket is price-clipped shows minor discolouration and light edgewear but quite presentable with no spine label. Altogether a highly satisfactory reading copy. Nicolas and the other field mice resent the birds because they eat the ripe berries and leave only pale pink berries that are neither sweet nor juicy. But when a terrified Nicolas falls from the clutches of a "big ugly bird" into a smaller bird's nest he finds a warm welcome and learns to trust the creatures that he thought were his enemies. A story of peacemaking. Hard Cover. About Good/Good to Very Good. Illus. by Author. 9 x 11.25 in. 23cm x 28.5cm. Ex-Library. Alfred A. Knopf hardcover
