DOWNLOAD EBOOKA guide to the literature of the animal kingdom, providing annotated lists of traditional and electronic sources for each major animal group (invertebrates, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals). Intended as a selective guide, it doesn't reflect the totality of the zoological literature, but instead describes the more important sources in the field. The lengthy annotations also evaluate works and point out their most suitable applications. While the sources cited are worldwide in scope, most are in English. In addition to a comprehensive author/title index, a subject index lists both common and scientific names of animals as well as geographical locations.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMetamorphoses of the Zoo marshals a unique compendium of critical interventions that envision novel modes of authentic encounter that cultivate humanity's biophilic tendencies without abusing or degrading other animals. These take the form of radical restructurings of what were formerly zoos or map out entirely new, post-zoo sites or experiences. The result is a volume that contributes to moral progress on the inter-species front and eco-psychological health for a humankind whose habitats are now mostly citified or urbanizing.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe age of zoological discovery has not passed. Every year, spectacular and exciting new species are being located and classified, adding to our knowledge of the animal kingdom. New whales, deer, snakes, sharks, and birds are just some of the creatures we have learned about in the past decade. Moreover, the seas and forests continue to conceal unsolved mysteries of zoology. Are there undiscovered big cats and unclassified apes hidden in the world's forests? Do large animals of unknown type lurk in deep lakes or in the oceans? The discoveries, rediscoveries, controversies, and mysteries of modern zoology are collected here in Shadows of Existence, a thoroughly researched and up to date guide to the wonders of nature.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBuilding distributed applications is difficult enough without having to coordinate the actions that make them work. This practical guide shows how Apache ZooKeeper helps you manage distributed systems, so you can focus mainly on application logic. Even with ZooKeeper, implementing coordination tasks is not trivial, but this book provides good practices to give you a head start, and points out caveats that developers and administrators alike need to watch for along the way. In three separate sections, ZooKeeper contributors Flavio Junqueira and Benjamin Reed introduce the principles of distributed systems, provide ZooKeeper programming techniques, and include the information you need to administer this service. Learn how ZooKeeper solves common coordination tasks Explore the ZooKeeper API’s Java and C implementations and how they differ Use methods to track and react to ZooKeeper state changes Handle failures of the network, application processes, and ZooKeeper itself Learn about ZooKeeper’s trickier aspects dealing with concurrency, ordering, and configuration Use the Curator high-level interface for connection management Become familiar with ZooKeeper internals and administration tools
