Java Jive
by Dorothy LyonsEven though her family kept telling her they couldn't afford to buy a horse, it didn't prevent Ginny Atkins from dreaming about owning one, especially since there was an old corral that came with their new home in California. And the miracle did happen when a Morgan that had strayed out of its own pasture came into the corral. Ginny was allowed to keep Sugar on loan, because Sugar's original owner was grown up and the mare was kept for sentimental reasons only, but Ginny had to prove to her father that she could be thoughtful and reliable, not just a scatterbrain. Then came the wonderful day when Sugar foaled-- and there was Java Jive, a perfect colt, for Ginny to raise and train as her very own! Trail-riding, Gymkhana shows, and hard work to earn money to keep Java gave Ginny a busy time, but eventually her patience was rewarded when Java proved his worth during the terrors of a California earthquake. Dorothy Lyons' previous books, such as Blue Smoke, Golden Sovereign, and Midnight Moon, have won for her a special place among writers of horse stories. Young readers everywhere will welcome Ginny Atkins and her colt, Java Jive.

Jay's Alagnak Caribou: A Raft, A River, A Father and Son—An Unexpected Alaska Adventure
by Jerry EdgingtonJay and his dad knew things would change after summer. The seasons of boy scouts, little league, high school sports, and just hanging out, would be gone forever. But there was a chapter left to write, and it would be written on a long section of the Alagnak River in Alaska. It wouldn't be the final chapter, not by a long stretch, but it would be a transcending chapter. A self-guided moose hunt and fishing trip would be a proper way to commemorate Jay's 19th birthday. So, with fishing rods and guns, and a flight into the headwaters of the Alagnak River they embarked on their adventure. What they found was more than they imagined—much more. They found the Alaska wilderness and a freedom they didn't know existed. They found a life changing adventure—built unbreakable bonds.

Jellyfish Blooms
by Kylie A. Pitt Cathy H. LucasJellyfish are one of the most conspicuous animals in our oceans and are renowned for their propensity to form spectacular blooms. The unique features of the biology and ecology of jellyfish that enable them to bloom also make them successful invasive species and, in a few places around the world, jellyfish have become problematic. As man increasingly populates the world's coastlines, interactions between humans and jellyfish are rising, often to the detriment of coastal-based industries such as tourism, fishing and power generation. However we must not lose sight of the fact that jellyfish have been forming blooms in the oceans for at least 500 million years, and are an essential component of normal, healthy ocean ecosystems. Here many of the world's leading jellyfish experts explore the science behind jellyfish blooms. We examine the unique features of jellyfish biology and ecology that cause populations to 'bloom and bust', and, using case studies, we show why jellyfish are important to coastal and ocean ecosystem function. We outline strategies coastal managers can use to mitigate the effects of blooms on coastal industries thereby enabling humans to coexist with these fascinating creatures. Finally we highlight how jellyfish benefit society; providing us with food and one of the most biomedically-important compounds discovered in the 20th century.
