The Praying Mantis

Mindstir Media Publishing — Sun, 03 Feb 2019 00:18:23 +0000

Of all the insects in the world, perhaps none more captivates and intrigue's the human eye as much as the "praying" mantis. Viewed as deities and messengers of the afterlife, the mantis is by far the most iconic of all animals deemed to be holy. But don't be fooled, the mantis is no prophet. Despite their god fearing stance, they are by no means peaceful but are rather formidable predators! Within the pages of this book, you will see how mantids are mistakenly regarded as "holy" by so many as you delve into the life histories of these amazing, yet exotic creatures!

Treeology 101

Tim wrote this book Treeology 101: How Using a Compass and The Sun Can Reveal Your Stunning Home so you will know if your home is in a Climax Forest or not, and knowing how much sun each section of your yard gets are the FUNDAMENTAL KEYS to having the yard of your dreams, done through selective culling of dangerous, duplicate, ugly or problematic trees. Then and only then can you consider what kind of replacement trees you want to plant, something YOU decide instead of the builder, the previous owner, or even bird droppings. A planned yard with proper Treescaping, that is, selecting specific trees for their beauty, hardiness, light requirements and space needs, is far superior to a yard with trees too close, trees in inappropriate spaces or downright dangerous trees due to a host of factors the homeowner may not be aware of.

admin — Tue, 08 Jan 2019 03:50:21 +0000

The basis for this book is from a 30-year oceanographer/physical scientist career, logging over 600,000 miles at sea on over 60 cruises employing the evolving technology to gather deep ocean data in physical, geophysical, and bathymetric sciences. My position as an in-house contact for many of the outside principle investigators who came in on ONR contracts kept me in touch with evolving thoughts about ocean science. 70 something of my papers were published with them. I have given talks/poster sessions worldwide to a variety of venues, all of which involved marine geomorphology. In my career I have reviewed proposals for both the NSF and the ONR. I have been told by various scientists that, along with one other physical scientist, that we knew more about the ocean floors than anyone else...
