Paddy Platypus and the Mysterious Cave

By: Tom de Paolo

This is another of the ongoing series of Paddy Platypus adventures. This time Paddy solves a great problem for a dear friend of his, Billy Badger. Billy had lost his old rotted tree trunk of a home to termites. Paddy father, old DB suggested that he take over a hidden cave which was empty. It was suggested by another of Paddy's friends, Beverly Bandicoot, that the cave was haunted. Billy didn't care; he moved in. His first night was a disaster, screams and yells and stuff. Paddy stayed with him the second night to make sure he wasn't dreaming--he wasn't--more screams and stuff. Both Billy and Paddy got brave and searched for the racket in the cave. They found it. It was just a parrot who was guarding the treasure of long John Silver. But they found out that there was no treasure in the chest. It was Zasu the parrot who was guarding and making all the scary noises. Zasu, furious with Lon John for taking the treasure he was guarding, decided to fly off into the forest and leave the cave for Billy. Paddy went for a long swim after his ordeal.

Australian Water Bugs. (Hemiptera - Heteroptera, Gerromorpha & Nepomorpha)

Their Biology and Identification

By: Nils Møller Andersen,Tom A. Weir

Water bugs are familiar insects in aquatic habitats throughout the World. They belong to the order Hemiptera, the largest insect order with incomplete metamorphosis. There are basically two kinds: (1) the semiaquatic bugs (Gerromorpha) which live upon the water surface, and (2) the true water bugs (Nepomorpha) which live beneath the water surface. Water bugs are found in a wide variety of natural habitats from small, temporary pools to larger ponds and lakes, from small streams to rivers, and from inland freshwater bodies to coastal mangroves, tidal pools of coral reefs, and the surface of the ocean. Water bugs are chiefly predators or scavengers, feeding on any prey they can master, from tiny crustaceans and insects to tadpoles and small fish. They play a major role in aquatic ecosystems and may serve as indicators of the biological quality of aquatic habitats. They are chiefly beneficial to man since many species prey on mosquitoes and are themselves preyed upon by fish. Because of their diverse lifestyles and because they are easily observed in their natural habitats, water bugs are excellent model organisms in evolutionary biology, ecology, and conservation biology. This handbook is the first comprehensive guide facilitating the identification of Australian water bugs. It provides an overview on all 15 families, 17 subfamilies, and 55 genera known to occur on mainland Australia, Tasmania and nearby islands. Illustrated keys, featuring a minimum of technical language, are offered to assist with the identification of adult water bugs. For each genus, the handbook includes a description of the characters used to identify the genus and to separate the genus from similar genera, an illustration to show overall appearance (“habitus”) of a representative species, an illustrated key to species recorded from Australia, overview of the biology of the genus, and a map showing the locations where the genus has been found in Australia.

Ask the Astronaut

A Galaxy of Astonishing Answers to Your Questions on Spaceflight

By: Tom Jones

Ever wondered what space is really like? Thanks to his 25 years of training for, flying in, consulting on, and writing and speaking about space, astronaut and spacewalker Tom Jones can answer that question and many others. What do you feel on liftoff? What is weightlessness? Where do you sleep in space? Can you see the Great Wall of China? Jones answers every question you have ever had about space in Ask the Astronaut. His entertaining blend of wit, personal experience, and technical expertise shines in each answer, and together all the answers illuminate the true space experience from start to finish. His engaging and informative responses remind readers of historic space achievements, acquaint them with exciting new ambitions, make them feel like they have experienced space firsthand, and even inspire an urge to explore space themselves. Jones covers everything from the training process for new astronaut candidates and the physical sensations and challenges of rocketing into orbit to what it's like to live, work, and walk in space. Jones also explores the future of spaceflight, both professional and commercial, in the years to come. Ask the Astronaut is a delight for all readers, especially "armchair astronauts" and younger, 21st century space explorers.
