HUMPBACK WHALES
Behaviour on the Hawaiian Breeding Grounds
Jim Darling
Humpback whale watchers in Hawaii and whale lovers everywhere will find this an easy guide to the latest research findings. An absorbing account of whale behaviour and how researchers try to document and understand it, this book is based on Dr. Jim Darling’s professional summary of recent research. He distinguishes speculation from fact and provides links to the original research articles. Research methods and technology are explained, showing how humans are unravelling these creatures’ deep mysteries. Graced with extraordinary photographs and illustrations, the book traces the history of whale research from its beginnings through the present to a look into the future, setting signs of humpback survival against the possible restart of whaling.

MINES, MINERALS & MUSTANGS
A Romantic Look at Nevada's Abandoned Past
John and Jeannette Kerr
Nevada’s first gamblers came with picks and shovels. They staked claims, built houses, mined and used horses as pack animals. But when Lady Luck ran out, all was abandoned. Mines, Minerals & Mustangs shares geologist/miner/husband John Kerr’s and photographer/wife Jeanette Kerr’s ongoing love affair with Nevada’s abandoned past. Personal anecdotes and breathtaking photographs reveal the authors’ infatuation with the old mines, lapsed claims, ghost towns and the wild mustang (mestengo) horses of Nevada’s grubstake years.
