DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe world's gliding mammals are an extraordinary group of animals that have the ability to glide from tree to tree with seemingly effortless grace. There are more than 60 species of gliding mammals including the flying squirrels from Asia, Europe and North America, the scaly-tailed flying squirrels from central Africa and the gliding possums of Australia and New Guinea. But the most spectacular of all are the colugos – or so called flying lemurs – that occur throughout South-East Asia and the Philippines. Animals that glide from tree to tree descend at an angle of less than 45 degrees to the horizontal, while those that parachute descend at an angle greater than 45 degrees. Gliding is achieved by deflecting air flowing past well-developed gliding membranes, or patagia, which form an effective airfoil that allows the animal to travel the greatest possible horizontal distance with the least loss in height. The flying squirrels and scaly-tailed flying squirrels even have special cartilaginous spurs that extend either from the wrist or elbow, respectively, to help support the gliding membrane. Gliding Mammals of the World provides, for the first time, a synthesis of all that is known about the biology of these intriguing mammals. It includes a brief description of each species, together with a distribution map and a beautiful full-colour painting. An introduction outlines the origins and biogeography of each group of gliding mammals and examines the incredible adaptations that allow them to launch themselves and glide from tree to tree.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEach year, thousands of students studying to be doctors, physical therapists, and medical technicians have to master the art of anatomy and an equal number of artists want to capture realistic movement and posture. What better way to remember each bone, muscle, and organ than by coloring a picture? The very act of drawing entices the student to spend more time with the image, and to examine the body s structure more closely. That s why this one-of-a-kind coloring book, with its concisely written text and easy-to-color-in medical illustrations, has always been such a huge seller and why it s now revised into this new user-friendly format.

Readers will also appreciate the sleek, lay-flat design, cardboard insert to place under the page for easy drawing, and high-quality paper that makes doing the work simpler and more pleasurable."
