This book introduces readers to some of the most fascinating and unusual animals from all parts of our Earth. All of them are mammals . . . so they all like to nurse! Did you know that Quokkas are thought to be the world's friendliest animal? That some Kangaroos actually live in trees? That Rock Hyraxes are known to sing songs? These 3 are among the 12 amazing animals that adults and children can learn about and welcome as new friends in this new book. Animales Sorprendentes Que Amamantan a Sus Crias / Amazing Animals That Like to Nurse is a 32-page children's picture book, available in both English and Bilingual (English-Spanish) editions, and the latest addition to the outstanding line of breastfeeding/nursing titles available from Hohm Press. Previous bestselling books in this series include: Mama's Leche and Tambien A Nosotros Nos Gusta Amamantar / We Like to Nurse, Too. These books offer encouragement in the womanly art of breastfeeding and stress the naturalness of this human process while drawing attention to our kinship with other mammals. This book provides a starting point for many interesting and fun activities with children. Since many mothers have an older child tucked in at their sides while nursing their younger one, they have the challenge of integrating a new member of the family into an existing system. This book will engage the interest and attention of children of all ages. Because these unusual animals are so engaging and fascinating, older children can easily be included in the intimacy between mother and infant. Additional information about these animals is included in a section in the back pages of this book and promises to enhance the learning experience of older children. Adults too will find these animals and their habits curious if not irresistible. Several of these animals are endangered species. . . one more reason to reinforce their unique qualities to children. In the process of research, the author and her granddaughter (co-author Ashe Parker) were overjoyed to discover countless other little-known facts about these extraordinary mammals, including that some are actually hatched out of eggs or have scales instead of fur! The author says, "Some of these critters can carry on conversations with complex vocabularies that allow them to 'talk' to each other--or 'sing' using whistles, barks, growls and chirps!" This book is a necessary addition to school and public library collections, and a beautiful gift for pregnant moms.
Animal fibres from South American camelids and other fibre or wool bearing species provide important products for use by the human population. The contemporary context includes the competition with petrocarbon-based artificial fibres and concern about excessive persistence of these in the natural environment. Animal fibres present highly valuable characteristics for sustainable production and processing as they are both natural and renewable. On the other hand, their use is recognised to depend on availability of appropriate quality and quantity, the production of which is underpinned by a range of sciences and processes which support development to meet market requirements. This collection of papers combines international experience from South and North America, China and Europe. The focus lies on domestic South American camelids (alpacas, llamas) and also includes research on sheep and goats. It considers latest advances in sustainable development under climate change, breeding and genetics, reproduction and pathology, nutrition, meat and fibre production and fibre metrology. Publication of this book is supported by the Animal Fibre Working Group of the European Federation of Animal Science (EAAP). ‘Advances in Fibre Production Science in South American Camelids and other Fibre Animals’ addresses issues of importance to scientists and animal breeders, textile processors and manufacturers, specialised governmental policy makers and students studying veterinary, animal and applied biological sciences.
