Sometimes it can be hard to reach out to suffering children. Even a powerful super-hero like Major Impact has a tough time knowing what to say to kids who just want a warm meal. While hes busy fighting crime in the streets, a greater crime, starvation, is occurring all around himand he can only do so much. Perhaps the best he can offer is experience, since his own childhood wasnt particularly enviable either.On the surface this is a story of good versus evil, but theres more going on here, as a superhero tries to fight a battle that may be impossible to win. A variety of artists contribute pages to the one-shot, including Ron Lim, P. Craig Russell, Ron Frenz, and many others. ... Read more

Product Description
An exciting new cross-disciplinary field of biocultural research is emeging at the start of the twenty-first century: developmental evolutionary biology. Looking at the behaviorial ontogeny of primates, the authors--leading scholars of biological anthropology, evolutionary biology, developmental psychology, and cognitive neuroscience--pose questions that probe our fundamental understanding of the human species. The authors postulate answers that will change the way we look at how cognition, language, and behavior develop in primates. ... Read more

Description:
Off-highway vehicle (OHV) recreation impacts species and ecosystems around the world, and is particularly prevalent in the United States. Our study examines the impact of OHVs on one of several species restricted within the United States to the Algodones Dunes, California. This dune system attracts many OHV enthusiasts annually, and interest in determining the impact of OHVs on Astragalus magdalenae var. peirsonii (Peirson's milk-vetch) has motivated multiple investigations. Several of these investigations have arrived at seemingly contradictory conclusions. Our study objectives were to quantify the degree by which A. m. var. peirsonii densities differed between high- and low-OHV use areas and determine whether OHV impact was a plausible factor for affecting plant density. Density estimate comparisons indicated 4-5 times fewer plants occupied a study area open to OHVs relative to two nearby study areas legally closed to OHVs. A manipulative mark-resight experiment compared the survival probabilities of control plants to those purposefully struck by OHVs and found that, for plants with canopy diameters of <50cm, OHV impact reduced survival by 33%. Density estimates from one of the study areas recently closed to OHVs were surprisingly large, which may suggest that periodic closure of occupied habitat during favorably wet years would assist in ensuring A. m. var. peirsonii productivity and thereby persistence. An improved understanding of this phenomenon may indicate a dunes-wide management strategy that would allow OHV activity to coexist with A. m. var. peirsonii. ... Read more

Product Description
In The Unruly Alphabet, illustrator Aaron McKinney uses the Latin alphabet to create a lively and haunting abecedary. The restless glyphs tangle and spar with one another, setting the stage for scenes where “A was arrested, while B bit bullies” and “G is gored, which makes H hurl.” McKinney renders the scenes with macabre detail and sinister wit, and the accompanying captions hum with gallows humor. The Unruly Alphabet is truly an alphabet book like no other, for the brooding child in every adult.Amazon.com Review
