Children's & YASeawalkers (2). Rescuing Shari
by Katja Brandis/ Claudia Carls
For the attention of all Seawalker fans: the marine shapeshifters are back, with Volume 2 of this bestselling, shapeshifter series about Tiago, the young tiger shark, and his friends! Tiago is happy because he’s not only been admitted to Blue Reef High School, but also because at last he’s found a friend in Shari, a dolphin shapeshifter. The young tiger shark really needs a friend, because not everyone is happy to have him around. He is constantly clashing with the shady lawyer Lydia Lennox, and he has made himself unpopular by trying to track down the rubbish gangsters who are poisoning the nature reserve near the school. The situation reaches a climax during an anthropological research trip to Miami. When Shari gets into serious difficulties, Tiago as both human and shark takes a huge gamble in order to save her and her dolphin friends. The Seawalker books are published every six months. Previous publication: Seawalkers (1). Dangerous Shapes.

MedicineSeptember 2018Animal Welfare in a Changing World
by Edited by Andrew Butterworth
Contemporary and challenging, this thought-provoking book outlines a number of the key dilemmas in animal welfare for today's, and tomorrow's, world. The issues discussed range from the welfare of hunted animals, to debates around intensive farming versus sustainability, and the effects of climate and environmental change. The book explores the effects of fences on wild animals and human impacts on carrion animals; the impacts of tourism on animal welfare; philosophical questions about speciesism; and the quality and quantity of animal lives. The welfare impacts of human-animal interactions are explored, including human impacts on marine mammals, fish, wildlife, and companion and farm animals. Animal Welfare in a Changing World provides: Concise, opinion-based views on important issues in animal welfare by world experts and key opinion leaders. Pieces based on experience, which balance evidence-based approaches and the welfare impacts of direct engagement through training, campaigning and education. A wide-ranging collection of examples and descriptions of animal welfare topics which outline dilemmas in the real world, that are sometimes challenging, and not always comfortable reading. This is a 'must-read' book for animal and veterinary scientists, ethologists, policy and opinion leaders, NGOs, conservation biologists and anyone who feels passionately about the welfare of animals

Picture storybooks2020What a Wonderful World This Can Be
by Mary-An
What a Wonderful World This Can Be is a ground-breaking picture book about how small acts can have big consequences.

In this book, a little girl wonders at the wonderful world that is all around her. Although, she is slightly put out when she sees someone begging for food, or oil in the ocean, or even a bully at school—what can she do? One thing at a time! "One piece of trash picked out of the sea, one word of kindness to someone in need, one word to a bully, one hug to a friend, a thing one by one, though the things never end."

May 2024Fish in Distress
On the careful management of an endangered resource
by Manfred Kriener, Stefan Linzmaier
Consumers stand perplexed at the fish counter. Cod or salmon; mackerel or sea bass? Or perhaps rather carp and trout? How about flounder and dab? Dab what? A terrific flatfish, but sadly hardly anyone has heard of it. And what was it again about organic, aquaculture, wild-caught, and that little blue sustainability certificate? Is catching your own a way out? Before you start thinking it’s time to opt for a chop and fried potatoes instead, read this book. It provides readers with deep blue facts from the world’s waters and analyses the global and local habitat of the finned creature.

Oceanography (seas)February 1992Dolphins and the Tuna Industry
by Committee on Reducing Porpoise Mortality from Tuna Fishing, Board on Biology, Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology, Commission on Life Sciences, National Research Council
This book presents key conclusions about the controversial killing of thousands of dolphins each year during tuna fishing in the eastern tropical Pacific. Dolphins drown in nets that are set to catch yellowfin tuna, which tend to swim beneath dolphin herds. After 20 years of intense debate among environmentalists, the tuna industry, and policymakers, this fatal by-product of tuna fishing remains a high-profile public issue. Dolphins and the Tuna Industry provides a neutral examination of the scientific and technical questions at the core of the problem. Recommendations for solutions are offered in two areas: Developing new techniques that promise to reduce dolphin mortality with the existing purse-seine method of tuna fishing, and developing entirely new methods of finding tuna that are not swimming with dolphins. Dolphins and the Tuna Industry provides a comprehensive, highly readable overview of the dolphin-tuna controversy, useful to experts and newcomers to the issue. It explores the processes of tuna fishing and dolphin mortality, the status of the tuna industry, and the significant progress made in reducing dolphin mortality through modifications in fishing practice. The volume includes An overview of U.S. laws and policies relating to tuna and dolphins. An illustrated look at how tuna fishing crews use their equipment, focusing on the purse seine, which is the method most economical to the industry but most deadly to the dolphins. An overview of what is known about tuna and dolphin populations and the remarkable bond between them. A step-by-step description of the fishing process and efforts to let dolphins escape from the nets. An analysis of possible approaches to reducing dolphin kill, including more stringent regulatory approaches and incentives for the tuna industry. This book will be indispensible to environmental and animal protection groups, tuna fishing crews and processors, companies that market tuna products, policymakers, regulators, and concerned individuals.

Der Bote
Vom Wahren Sinn des Lebens
by Sergio Bambarén
In his new book "The Messenger", world bestselling author Sergio Bambaren opens his heart, and shares with us the story of a lifetime. After traveling all over the world, seeing the truth with his own eyes and understanding the purpose of life, a man born from the ends of the ocean arrives on an island to spread the message of what he has learned. It is then that people come to listen to him and remember an ancient legend: that one day a humble messenger would arrive from the sea with the mission of reminding them of what they already knew, but had forgotten or were afraid to express. In a world where walking in a hurry has become a routine, where spending hours in front of a glass screen is almost an obsession for many, where materialism separate one from the other, The Messenger is a reflection on how simple it is to is to be happy with so little. About the essential of living instead of existing. Being instead of having. And about the importance of unconditional love and spirituality. PRESS REVIEWS: “With The Dolphin, you helped me discover a new world; with The Guardian of the Light, I learned what true love is. And now, after reading THE MESSENGER, I can assure you have written your best novel. You touched my heart and soul, and I will always be thankful for that. Thanks, Sergio, my kindred friend. I love you."Ornella Muti Actress and Model.
