MISSING: the 6' total catch who swept me off my feet last night. Sleepy little Cryptic Cove is just the break I need: sunshine, salt air, and beach parties 'til the sun rises. On break from a career as a plus-sized dancer in Hollywood, I'm not even here to hook up. But once I spot Pacari with his piercing green eyes, abs like armor, and thighs I'd love to sink my teeth into, I have better plans. Only problem is: he's gone with morning like the infamous mists of Cryptic Cove. But the memory of his mouth between my legs sure as heck isn't. Next time I see him, his hands are all over other people, but his eyes never leave mine. And once he leaves the room, no one seems to remember him. Except for me. When I catch him with yet another person outside the bar, I'm left with some big questions: Why is he messing with other people if he can't take his eyes off me, What the heck is that monster between his legs --And how do I get on it? Hot Summer's Prey is the first book of the Wet Hot Monster Summer series, a mystery monster romance novel featuring a cheery, plus-sized Filipina dancer and an environmentalist, sex-worker adjacent sea creature as their worlds collide like a tidal wave. Caution - Splash Zone: You May Get Wet.

This book was produced by the Zoological Society of London and the University of Cambridge with two aims: to assess seabirds’ vulnerability to climate change in the North-East Atlantic, and to identify potential conservation actions that could reduce this vulnerability. 'Seabirds in the North-East Atlantic' collates information from the scientific literature, non-governmental organisations’ reports, conservation practitioner input and online databases into a single volume, and provides a reference manual to assist conservation planning. It is intended to be used by anyone who wishes to identify climate change threats to seabirds; to compare threats between different areas of the North-East Atlantic; to start a quantitative climate change vulnerability assessment for a local population; or to review options for conservation action in response to climate change. This book stems from research published in December 2022, but assessments may be updated based on feedback and newly available information.

With heart-shaped face, buff back and wings, and pure white underparts, the barn owl is a distinctive and much-loved bird which has fascinated people from many cultures throughout history. How did the barn owl colonise the world? What adaptations have made this bird so successful? How is the increasing impact of human disturbance affecting these animals? Answering these questions and more, Roulin brings together the main global perspectives on the evolution, ecology and behaviour of the barn owl and its relatives, discussing topics such as the high reproductive potential, physiology, social and family interaction, pronounced colour variation and global distribution. Accessible and beautifully illustrated, this definitive volume on the barn owl is for researchers, professionals and graduate students in ornithology, animal behaviour, ecology, conservation biology and evolutionary biology, and will also appeal to amateur ornithologists and nature lovers.

Coastal exposures of the Santa Cruz Formation in southern Patagonia have been a fertile ground for recovery of Early Miocene vertebrates for more than 100 years. This volume presents a comprehensive compilation of important mammalian groups which continue to thrive today. It includes the most recent fossil finds as well as important new interpretations based on ten years of fieldwork by the authors. A key focus is placed on the paleoclimate and paleoenvironment during the time of deposition in the Middle Miocene Climatic Optimum (MMCO) between twenty and fifteen million years ago. The authors present the first reconstruction of what climatic conditions were like and present important new evidence of the geochronological age, habits and community structures of fossil bird and mammal species. Academic researchers and graduate students in paleontology, paleobiology, paleoecology, stratigraphy, climatology and geochronology will find this a valuable source of information about this fascinating geological formation.
