Sea Mammals

The Past and Present Lives of Our Oceans’ Cornerstone Species

By: Annalisa Berta

A richly illustrated introduction to the world’s living and extinct sea mammals From the gregarious sea otter and playful dolphins to the sociable narwhal and iconic polar bear, sea mammals are a large, diverse, and increasingly precious group. In this book, Annalisa Berta, a leading expert on sea mammals and their evolution, presents an engaging and richly illustrated introduction to past and present species of these remarkable creatures, from the blue whale and the northern fur seal to the extinct giant sperm whale, aquatic sloth, and walking sea cow. The book features more than 50 individual species profiles, themed chapters, stunning photographs, and specially commissioned paleo-illustrations of extinct species. It presents detailed accounts of these mammals’ evolutionary path, anatomy, behavior, habitats, and conservation. And because these are key species that complete many food chains and have the widest influence of all sea life, the book also offers insights into a broad variety of marine worlds today and in the future.

Digital Storytelling and Digital Gaming in the 21st Century EFL Classroom

New Frontiers in CALL

By: Annalisa Raffone

This book is for language researchers, teachers, and practitioners who wish to embark on an educational journey to explore and deepen the understanding and potential of the digital medium. It is the first comprehensive text on Digital Storytelling (DST) as an instructional approach in the EFL university classroom and Digital Game-based Learning (DGBL) in the EFL school setting based on original, ex-Novo gamified experiences. Through specific teaching choices and the creation of context-based multimedia tools and workshops, the book offers a resource – empowered by a detailed description, personalisation, and application of methods – through which teachers and educators can embed these two educational approaches into the curriculum. It also provides productive and promising results on students’ language improvement and enhancement of the so-called 21st Century Skills as required by today’s European Regulations for Lifelong Learning.

The Rise of Marine Mammals

50 Million Years of Evolution

By: Annalisa Berta

A compelling look at the evolutionary history of marine mammals over the past 50 million years. Marine mammals have long captured the attention of humans. Ancient peoples etched seals and dolphins on the walls of Paleolithic caves; today, engineers develop microprocessors to track these denizens of the deep. This groundbreaking book from highly respected marine mammal paleontologist Annalisa Berta delves into the story of the extraordinary adaptations that gave the world these amazing animals. The Rise of Marine Mammals reveals remarkable fossil record discoveries that shed light on the origins, relationships, and diversification of marine mammals. Focusing on evolution and paleobiology, Berta provides an overview of marine mammal species diversity, enhanced with gorgeous life restorations by Carl Buell, Robert Boessenecker, William Stout, and Ray Troll and extensive line drawings by graphics editor James L. Sumich. The book also considers ongoing conservation challenges, demonstrating how the fossil record of adaptation in response to past environmental shifts may illuminate the way that marine mammals respond to global climate change. This invaluable evolutionary framework is essential for helping us understand how best to protect and conserve today’s polar bears, whales, dolphins, seals, and fellow warm-blooded ocean dwellers. The Rise of Marine Mammals also describes exciting breakthroughs that rely on new techniques of study, including 3-D imaging, and molecular, finite element, and morphometric analyses, which have enhanced scientists’ understanding of everything from the anatomy of fetal whales to the genes behind limb loss in cetaceans. Mammalogists, paleontologists, and marine scientists will find Berta’s insights absorbing, while developmental and molecular biologists, geneticists, and ecologists exploring integrative research approaches will benefit from her fresh perspective.
