Reef Aquarium Success - Volume 1: Learn How To Maintain A Beautiful Mini-Ocean Environment Within Your Tank" is Volume 1 of the original electronic book "Reef Keeping Basics - Successful Reef Management". To assist in the marketing and promotion of that original book, the author - Eric V. Van Der Hope, decided to publish a paperback version of the book. Also, because the original electonic book comprised over 700 pages & over 300 colorful images, it wasn't cost effective to produce as a single printed book.

What reviewers are saying:"Brilliant, most helpful & informative; must read before considering buying a cat - I have always believed in the quote "education is power" but this book made me reinforce my feeling about it. Reading this book raised my awareness and helped me make a conscious and careful choice/decision.The book guides you from what questions to ask the breeder, to what cat personality is suitable for your family (it even takes the age of your children into account to help you find the right cat!); it covers a variety of topics, from how to take care of your new pet cat to how to train them and how to communicate with them. It also explains why it is not wise to buy a cat from a pet shop and provides suggestions on where to buy your cat from. Although it is focused on the British, most of the advice would apply to any breed.I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is considering buying a pet cat. In fact, I believe it is the equivalent of leading books on expecting a new baby; if you are a mum like me, I bet you were using one of these popular books to guide you through pregnancy and then through the chaos of the first few weeks of your new baby.

I found the guidance on how to welcome my kitten at home and spend the first weeks together especially useful, but the best thing is that it gives me guidance for all life stages of my cat.

In Listening to Whales, Alexandra Morton shares spellbinding stories about her career in whale and dolphin research and what she has learned from and about these magnificent mammals. In the late 1970s, while working at Marineland in California, Alexandra pioneered the recording of orca sounds by dropping a hydrophone into the tank of two killer whales. She recorded the varied language of mating, childbirth, and even grief after the birth of a stillborn calf. At the same time she made the startling observation that the whales were inventing wonderful synchronized movements, a behavior that was soon recognized as a defining characteristic of orca society. In 1984, Alexandra moved to a remote bay in British Columbia to continue her research with wild orcas. Her recordings of the whales have led her to a deeper understanding of the mystery of whale echolocation, the vocal communication that enables the mammals to find their way in the dark sea. A fascinating study of the profound communion between humans and whales, this book will open your eyes anew to the wonders of the natural world.
