Animals: form and function ; Understanding animal behavior ; Animals and their environments -- Working on the wild side: zoology in real life. Zookeepers, aquarists, and other zoo crew -- Call the doctor! veterinarians -- Wildlife researchers -- Conservation warriors."Calling all animal lovers! Have you ever wondered what a zoologist does? Want to know what it's like to work with animals all day? To study animal behavior? To be a vet, or to work at a zoo or aquarium? Or perhaps you want to help save an endangered species but aren't sure where to start. A comprehensive, fact- and photo-filled guide, Zoology for Kids provides insights into these questions and many others. Part 1 introduces basic zoology concepts such as what makes an animal an animal, what features help them survive in the wild, and why they behave the way they do. Part 2 explores the many ways in which zoologists apply their knowledge. You'll oeek into the world of zookeepers and aquarists, veterinarians, wildlife researchers, whatever your unique interests and strengths may be. You'll come away with new knowledge, respect for the animal kingdom, the conviction that you can pursue an animal-related career, and the motivation to start making a difference right now to preserve and protect animals and the natural world. Hands-on activities illuminate the world of zoology. Kids can: Play a dolphin echolocation game; Dig up "animal bones"; Communicate like a deep-sea animal; Plan and draw an animal's exhibit; Mold "tiger teeth"; and much more.Ages 9 and up.1190L

The great narwhal rescue : saving the Arctic ocean's narwhals / by Markle, Sandra,author.(CARDINAL)171555;

Includes bibliographical references (page 39) and index."But as climate change causes global temperatures to rise, less and less sea ice is covering the Arctic Ocean each year. Narwhals are left vulnerable without the ice, which historically provided them with safe areas to roam out of reach of their natural predators, killer whales. And humans are taking advantage of the clearer water, searching and drilling for oil and hauling cargo. So as Arctic sea ice shrinks, a new challenge emerges: noise pollution from human activity. The thrum of engines and other man-made sounds threaten narwhals ability to locate food, communicate with other narwhals, and use echolocation to navigate while migrating. How can people reduce noise pollution in the Arctic Ocean to help them? Follow along as scientists study the effects of noise pollution on narwhals and work to ensure they have a hope-filled future."--Ages 9-12Grades 4-6

The dynamics of disaster / by Kieffer, Susan W.(CARDINAL)514844;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 275-300) and index."Natural disasters bedevil our planet, and each appears to be a unique event. Leading geologist Susan W. Kieffer shows how all disasters are connected. Humans persist in building centers of civilization in places of past disasters. We believe that our technology will protect us next time. Yet we rarely win these battles with the earth because we don't understand natural disasters deeply enough. Susan W. Kieffer has two goals for her unique book. The first is to show how the dynamics--the workings--of disasters are connected by a small number of natural laws. The second is to show that the most obvious process in a disaster is not always the one that causes the devastation. For instance, the transformation of apparently solid ground into a substance like quicksand during the 2010 Haiti earthquake is what caused the destruction of Port au Prince. Kieffer argues that only by truly understanding the dynamics of natural disasters can we begin to institute engineering and policy practices to minimize their impact on our lives"--Provided by publisher.
