The untold story of two sisters whose discoveries sped the growth of American science in the nineteenth century, combining "meticulous research and sensitive storytelling" (Janice P. Nimura, New York Times -bestselling author of The Doctors Blackwell )

In Mischievous Creatures , historian Catherine McNeur uncovers the lives and work of Margaretta Hare Morris and Elizabeth Carrington Morris, sisters and scientists in early America. Margaretta, an entomologist, was famous among her peers and the public for her research on seventeen-year cicadas and other troublesome insects. Elizabeth, a botanist, was a prolific illustrator and a trusted supplier of specimens to the country’s leading experts. Together, their discoveries helped fuel the growth and professionalization of science in antebellum America. But these very developments confined women in science to underpaid and underappreciated roles for generations to follow, erasing the Morris sisters’ contributions along the way.

Mischievous Creatures is an indelible portrait of two unsung pioneers, one that places women firmly at the center of the birth of American science.

“地球生命故事·生物大灭绝”系列启发孩子们将生命的度量衡从“人类时间”拓宽到“地球时间”，从生物演化的角度讲述了4.5亿年的时间里，地球典型的五次大灭绝，一次新近发现的大灭绝、人类世大灭绝，以及濒危物种保护。同时，还介绍了怪诞虫、三叶虫、邓氏鱼、利索维斯兽、霸王龙、巨齿鲨、袋狼等七种具有代表性的灭绝生物，以及中国特有的极度濒危生物海南长臂猿。

"Eats, Shoots & Leaves" has sold over 3 million copies world-wide. This illustrated version for children shows how the humble comma can change the meaning of a sentence completely. You might want to eat a huge hot dog, but a huge, hot dog would run away pretty quickly if you tried to take a bite out of him. 'Children Drive Slowly' on a road-sign doesn't quite sum up what kids do in their spare time. And we all know now that the comma in 'Eats shoots and leaves' is a crucial one. Lynne Truss and Bonnie Timmons illuminate the hilarious confusion that one mere dot with a tail can cause, in this follow-up to the number one best-seller "Eats, Shoots & Leaves" - which this time features lively and subversive pictures by one of America's leading illustrators. This picture book is sure to elicit gales of laughter and better punctuation from all who read it.

海洋的广袤众人皆知，但少有人意识到，它的广大意味着即使是其中的海草和更不起眼的硅藻，都对地球生态起着决定性的作用；更少有人能想到的，是海洋在第三维度上的深邃，隐藏着地球自我更新的秘密；在时间维度上，它记录了万亿年中气候与生态的过往，也与人类的继续生存息息相关。结合最新研究、权威报告和现场考察，本书是对海洋在地球历史和人类社会中所扮演角色的一次深入侧写。
第一篇“海洋诱惑”，围绕珊瑚礁和海草床这两个重要而较少被关注的浅海生态系统，讲述了海洋在生命的形成和进化过程中起到的不可替代的作用，分析海洋保护在气候变化和社会经济发展背景下面临的挑战，并向读者介绍世界各地各类海洋保护区的概况。
第二篇“深海诱惑”，以人类深海探索史为线索，描绘绚丽神秘的深海景象，讲述各领风骚的深海探索者的故事。这一篇章凸显了深海研究对生命起源探索、板块运动研究的关键推动作用，并介绍了深潜技术的新趋势。
第三篇“海鲜诱惑”，从中国沿海渔场的历史说起，勾勒出中国和世界渔业的现状；在海洋渔业从捕捞向养殖转变的丰富图景中，揭示海洋渔业在食品供应、生态保护乃至国际政治中扮演的多样角色。
每篇文章的写作都经过了扎实的信息搜集和采访工作，由专业领域中的权威学者和海洋经济的一线参与者的亲身经历和职业科普作家的深度解读，结合成充满见地的精彩论述。读者将能从书中了解到海洋政策、公约的制订背景，海洋科学的研究脉络，以及关于当下和未来重要海洋问题的可行解决之道。

A side-splitting skewering of the sober world of STEM
No one is safe when humorist and cartoonist Tom Gauld directs his hilarious gaze to your profession. Just as he did with writers, poets, and literary classics for the Guardian books page, Gauld now does with hapless scientists, nanobots, and puzzling theorems for his weekly New Scientist strip, the international magazine that covers all aspects of science and technology.
Gauld's Department of Mind-Blowing Theories presents one hundred and fifty comic strips topical and funny enough to engage any layperson with a rudimentary recall of their old science classes as well as those who consider themselves boffins of the contemporary physical and natural world. A dog philosopher questions what it means to be a ‘good boy’ while playing fetch! A virtual assistant and a robot-cleaner elope! The undiscovered species and the theoretical particle face existential despair! Facebook commenters debunk Darwin’s posting of On the Origin of Species! Why are there poodles pouring out of this wormhole?!
One could hypothesize how Gauld is able to command such quick-witted knowledge of the scientific world however, as these strips prove, Gauld would retaliate with the sharpest of punchlines to that hastily cobbled postulate. Gauld won an Eisner for Best Humor for Baking With Kafka and Department of Mind-Blowing Theories is sure to cement his reputation as the foremost authority on joke generating technology.

An anxious baby bird who fears he’ll never learn to fly gets a lesson in mindfulness in this funny and sweetly encouraging picture book about believing in yourself.

Every morning, the birds are flapping with excitement for their first flight of the day...except for Bob. Bob doesn’t get the whole flying thing; when the other baby birds go up, up, up, he goes down, down, down. Bob can’t help worrying…what if he never learns how to fly?

His friend Crow tells him, “All you need to do is breathe, Bob.” Of course, Bob breathes all the time, but there’s breathing and then there’s B-R-E-A-T-H-I-N-G. And it might just be the thing to calm Bob’s ruffled feathers.

Bear wants to sing his song, but the other animals won't give him a chance to perform his masterwork in this delightful picture book companion to the critically acclaimed King Mouse.

A bear finds a ukulele in the woods. It makes a nice sound -- PLINK! -- and inspires him to write his own song. His friend Mouse would love to hear it. But Bear isn't the only animal in the forest to find musical inspiration that day, and Snake, Crow and Tortoise keep taking his turn to perform. When they finally give him the opportunity and meet his song with less enthusiasm than he'd like, the discouraged bear shelves his music career forever . . . but the kindness, empathy and appreciation of his best friend will prove that his art deserves recognition and can even inspire others.

This dryly humorous and sweetly profound collaboration between two critically acclaimed children's book creators, a follow-up to the masterful King Mouse, has the makings of a modern classic.

After a fire leaves the forest smoldering, a determined marmot and her resourceful bird friend set off on a rescue mission in this beautifully illustrated, wordless story.

They clear away fallen branches and scorched bushes. They rake and dig and plant new seedlings in the earth. With determination and ingenuity, as the seasons pass, they care for the little trees by making sure they have enough water, protect their branches from the wind and snow, and keep away hungry creatures, until the trees can thrive on their own.

With a little time, care, and hope we all can help the earth.
