Editorial Review Product Description Building on the success of its popular predecessor, the second edition of Ecotoxicology of Amphibians and Reptiles presents newly available findings on the species that are important environmental indicators. This new edition covers nearly twice as many topics as the first, including recent developments in the ecotoxicology of amphibians and reptiles, the current status of these animals, and intrinsic factors that affect their susceptibility to contaminants. The book also provides the latest information on specific groups of contaminants and their effects and body burdens in herpetafauna. After a review of how contaminants interact with other ecological factors, the text explores concerns for the future. New in the second edition: One of the major factors behind the writing of the first edition was the worldwide phenomenon of declining amphibian populations. Although this decline has not abated, the breadth of research into its causes has expanded significantly. With chapter contributors carefully selected by the team of editors as leaders in their fields, this book provides an authoritative compendium of the most recent information on effects and residues coupled with a syntheses of what these numbers mean to science and policy. |

Editorial Review Product Description Sea-devil has appeared in the Rio de la Plata. Weird cries out at sea,slashed fishermen's nets, glimpses of a most queer creature astride adolphin leave no room for doubt. The Spaniard Zurita, greed overcominghis superstition, tries to catch Sea-devil and force it to pearl-divefor him but fails. On a lonely stretch of shore, not far from Buenos Aires, Dr. Salvatorlives in seclusion behind a high wall, whose steel-plated gates onlyopen to let in his Indian patients. The Indians revere him as a Godbut Zurita has a hunch that the God on land and the devil in the seahave something in common. Enlisting the help of two wily Araucanianbrothers he sets out to probe the mystery. As action shifts from the bottom of the sea to the Spaniard's schooner The Jellyfish and back again, with interludes in sun-drenched Buenos Aires and countryside, the mystery of Ichthyander the sea-devil is unfolded before the reader in a narrative as gripping as it informative.

Still in love
Still in love with Ichthyandar
Ichthyander, 'The Human Merman', 'Prince of the Sea' In the section "A Day of Ichthyander's", the reader gets to see how happy he is being in the water, and among the sea creatures. One can easily imagine hearing his laughter of delight when the dolphins arrive to play with him under the warm sun. Ichthyander is really a human merman: the 'Prince of the Sea' --- if there ever was one. The only thing he's missing is a fishtail where his legs are. Not to sound sexist, "The Amphibian" can be considered the male version to "The Little Mermaid". By the way, the book actually gives us the real meaning for Ichthyander's unusual name. They are Greek stem words for "fish" (ichthy-) and "man" (ander or andr). Thus combined, Ichthyander's name is actually 'Fish Man'. He is a 'manfish'; or merman. A human merman, that is. "The Amphibian" was written about 1928, before the age of snorkeling and scuba diving. Belayev, in describing Ichthyander's undersea ventures, gives some interesting descriptions of undersea life. Had Belayev lived a bit longer, he would have seen his prevision of mankind mastering the ocean be realized. No, people wouldn't be literal amphibians. But people would be using aqualungs to explore underwater. The early aqualungs came about in the mid-1940's during World War II. By then, Belayev was already dead, having passed away in 1942. Also had Belayev lived, he would have seen this famous book of his get turned into a magnificent Russian science fiction film classic, "The Amphibian Man" (1961). There are some changes to the story. But, nevertheless, it's an amazing film. Belayev, himself, would have been pleased. And if Ichthyander really existed, he would have enough friends, as there are so many scuba diving enthusiasts the world over. Including, perhaps, the late great Jacques Yves Cousteau. At least Ichthyander's new friends wouldn't be scared of him as most divers pretty much have similar underwater gear. -- Oh! And I would have been his friend, too! I've never scuba dived; but I love swimming! I purchased both an original out-of-print copy of "The Amphibian" (from Amazon[.com] Z-shops in October), with a drawing of Ichthyander riding his beloved dolphin, Leading, on the jacket cover; and, this month, the reissued edition of the book, with Ichthyander on the cover brandishing a dagger. It was the reissued one I took back-and-forth in my travels. I didn't want to lose my out-of-print copy. That edition stays in my library at home. I recommend as an excellent companion piece to this book the movie "The Amphibian Man", which "The Amphibian" is based. Both the movie and book are excellent. But get the DVD version of "The Amphibian Man", for the picture quality is visually stunning and better. ... Read more |
