Work with the bottlenose has provided insight into the sensory mechanisms, communication systems, energetics, reproduction, anatomy, and other aspects of cetacean biology. This volume presents the most recent biological and behavioral discoveries of bottlenose dolphins from different regions and compares bottlenose dolphins as a group with other species of animals.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMason is not imaginary. He’s not a ghost, either. And he’s most definitely not a hallucination. Mason is an Aerling, and the Sentinels’ number one target. Inseparable since Olivia found Mason crying in her front yard as a child, being apart from each other is unbearable. Knowing the separation is necessary to keep Mason safe and alive should make it easier for Olivia, but being stripped of her best friend and the person she loves most only heightens her fear and suspicions of those claiming to help. The pain of being kept apart until Mason’s eighteenth birthday, when Olivia is expected to guide him back to the world of the Aerlings, is the least of their worries, though. As the Sentinels intensify their search for Mason, they bring the threat of danger to a level no one is prepared to face.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhile the Coast Guard's many battles at sea in the War on Drugs are widely known, its participation in the ground offensive is not. Indeed, the Guard didn't just send its cutters to interdict narcotics-laden vessels attempting to bring their illicit cargo into Uncle Sam's territorial waters, it sent ground troops to foreign lands to train their forces and, when necessary, directly engage the enemy. But to create the type of force needed was no small task and would not be without tribulation, both from within and outside the organization. The road traveled to complete the mission was laden with obstacles. This is not a story about the Coast Guard you know, or think you know. Rather, this is a story about the other side, the side that history nearly forgot; not the standard, but the antithesis of standard. It is a story that will undoubtedly make even the most seasoned Coast Guardsmen question their understanding of the organization to which they belong. To be sure, "This is not your father's Coast Guard."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHow are the events in a person's life valued? If you rise up to challenges and conquer problems by staring them straight in the eye and picking the right choice in split second decisions does this make you any better than the person who made the wrong choice? Or didn't act at all? What if you think you've learned from your past mistakes and did everything you could to make things different the second time around only to fail yet again? In this coming of age tale, Shane Lyons battles with loss, the failures of a guilty conscience, and the inner struggles of a grief stricken mind all the while attempting to dismantle a mob that has strong-armed a city into fear and denial. It is a story that makes each of us question just how far we would go to achieve our own identity and self-acknowledgement in order to find some peace of mind. We all fail at some point. It is how we handle that loss and face tomorrow that determines our true worth.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLearn some words of wisdom for the space of social networking. We don’t often associate social networking with good things. The conventional wisdom, as it were, is that Twitter, Facebook and the like are engaging and fun, maybe dangerous, and definitely a big, shallow waste of time. When it comes to faith, is there any value? Some point to horror stories of illicit behavior simplified by the connections it creates. Others point to its effectiveness as a tool for networking Christians with prayer chains and referrals. But what is really going on here? By now we can acknowledge that social networking is not going away. Maybe you have resisted all social networking, you consider tweeting a frivolous fad and your Facebook account is dusty. Maybe you post several times a day. In either case, do you understand the power and depth of this new medium—in community building, spiritual formation, and yes, even evangelism?
