Book excerpt: Pay attention to these insects on the move—locusts! Usually, locusts live alone. When there is lots of food, the locust population grows. But when the weather turns dry and grasses die, the locusts are forced to live close together, and they go through amazing changes. Their colors become brighter, and their eyes become larger. They fly off in great swarms searching for food. Millions of locusts might land in a farmer’s field and have a feast. When nothing green is left, the swarm flies off again. After they finally run out of food, the locusts separate and change again. In this exciting book, you can learn what makes locusts similar to and different from other insects. Close-up photographs and diagrams reveal extraordinary details about locusts’ bodies, both inside and out. This book contains hands-on activities that help you understand how far locusts jump and how they make sounds. Learn more about this member of nature’s fascinating Insect World!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does the Locust look familiar to you? Well, that's because it belongs to the family of grasshoppers. If you compare how a Locust and grasshopper look, you will realize that Locusts are just short-horned grasshoppers. There are different species of grasshoppers, and a Locust is just one of them. Locusts actually prefer being alone in normal situations. When they are in small numbers, this type of insect is harmless - as harmless as regular grasshoppers. Things are a lot different when Locusts are in abundance. In this case, they will automatically change their behavior and become very destructive. How destructive? Well, destructive enough to damage crops and cause hunger issues for people. Ready to learn more about the Locust? Have a copy of this book and learn more about this interesting animal of nature.

Book excerpt: Seeing things that others can’t is terribly confusing to a young child. Realizing you are different causes problems that no child should have to face. He or she learns to stay quiet about seeing ghosts or spirits and to talk only to loved ones who understand what is going on. As I got older, the ghosts seemed to become scarier, and some were violent. My husband had his doubts about my ghosts until he started experiencing some of the ghostly things with me. I hope this book will help those who see things and let them know they are not alone or insane.

Book excerpt: This book presents a detailed discussion on the direct interactions of plants and microorganisms in the rhizosphere environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecology at the ecosystem level has both necessitated and benefited from new methods and technologies as well as those adapted from other disciplines. With the ascendancy of ecosystem science and management, the need has arisen for a comprehensive treatment of techniques used in this rapidly-growing field. Methods in Ecosystem Science answers that need by synthesizing the advantages, disadvantages and tradeoffs associated with the most commonly used techniques in both aquatic and terrestrial research. The book is divided into sections addressing carbon and energy dynamics, nutrient and water dynamics, manipulative ecosystem experiements and tools to synthesize our understanding of ecosystems. Detailed information about various methods will help researchers choose the most appropriate methods for their particular studies. Prominent scientists discuss how tools from a variety of disciplines can be used in ecosystem science at different scales.
