Odd Couples
Author: Daphne J. Fairbairn
language: en
Publisher: Princeton University Press
Release Date: 2015-08-25
The remarkable and unique ways that male and female animals play out gender roles in nature While we joke that men are from Mars and women are from Venus, our gender differences can't compare to those of many other animals. For instance, the male garden spider spontaneously dies after mating with a female more than fifty times his size. And male blanket octopuses employ a copulatory arm longer than their own bodies to mate with females that outweigh them by four orders of magnitude. Why do these gender gulfs exist? Introducing readers to important discoveries in animal behavior and evolution, Odd Couples explores some of the most extraordinary sexual differences in the animal world. Daphne Fairbairn uncovers the unique and bizarre characteristics of these remarkable species and the special strategies they use to maximize reproductive success. Fairbairn also considers humans and explains that although we are keenly aware of our own sexual differences, they are unexceptional within the vast animal world. Looking at some of the most amazing creatures on the planet, Odd Couples sheds astonishing light on what it means to be male or female in the animal kingdom.
Sea-Devil
You never forget your first love. Or your first murder. Escaping her mistake-ridden past, smart and sassy book nerd Delilah Duffy returns to the island she adored as a child to reinvent herself as the manager of Beach Read, a local bookstore. With disturbing acts of vandalism following her every step, the message is clear—she’s not welcome. Tensions escalate when a chilling murder stains the floors of her bookstore on the eve of her grand opening, and she’s quickly pegged as the prime suspect. With questions left unanswered and suspicion high, even from her family, one person stands by her—local cop Sam Teague, her first love and most devastating heartbreak. His kindness and support are an unexpected lifeline if she can trust it. He helps her see her own potential, but she can’t forget the pain he once caused. He broke her heart once—she can’t let it happen again. With evidence mounting against her, Delilah must use her head and her heart to clear her name before the killer strikes again, even if it means confronting her past and trusting the one who left her broken.
