DOWNLOAD EBOOKGustav Peter Larson Mouse, called Gus by his mama and three little brothers, is a delightfully innocent character who forgets his mama''s warnings. Readers can easily identify with Gus, the five and one quarter inch high little hero, who is full of the wonder of the world around him, not to mention his uncanny ability to get into trouble. Gus remembers his mama''s warnings too late it seems and we find Gus out in the middle of a Wisconsin Lake in an abandoned rowboat. At first he seems unaware of the danger as he plays pirate. That is until he looks up to see the largest, biggest boat in the world headed right toward him. Gus cannot swim, a fact he realizes all to late. In fact, all he can do is to stare in terror as the big ship comes toward his little rowboat, sounding her whistle as a warning. The reader shivers along with little Gus as he whispers his prayer, closes his eyes, and holds on tight. Along with Gus, the reader begins to realize that it''s a pretty good idea to listen to their parent''s advice.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIntrepid international explorer, biologist, and photographer Mark W. Moffett, "the Indiana Jones of entomology," takes us around the globe on a strange and colorful journey in search of the hidden world of ants. In tales from Nigeria, Indonesia, the Amazon, Australia, California, and elsewhere, Moffett recounts his entomological exploits and provides fascinating details on how ants live and how they dominate their ecosystems through strikingly human behaviors, yet at a different scale and a faster tempo. Moffett’s spectacular close-up photographs shrink us down to size, so that we can observe ants in familiar roles; warriors, builders, big-game hunters, and slave owners. We find them creating marketplaces and assembly lines and dealing with issues we think of as uniquely human—including hygiene, recycling, and warfare. Adventures among Ants introduces some of the world’s most awe-inspiring species and offers a startling new perspective on the limits of our own perception. • Ants are world-class road builders, handling traffic problems on thoroughfares that dwarf our highway systems in their complexity • Ants with the largest societies often deploy complicated military tactics • Some ants have evolved from hunter-gatherers into farmers, domesticating other insects and growing crops for food
