Abstract:

The dog breeds of the North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association (NAVHDA), mostly of continental European descent, are expected to perform a number of hunting activities like pointing, retrieving upland birds on land and in water, track furred or feathered game on land, and be cooperative yet independent while doing so. The article includes four kinds of tests to see how many of these skills each dog has and pictures and a brief sketch of the breeds in the Carolinas chapter.

Cooper, John

Abstract:

Cooper describes an unusual type of sea creature, the mantis shrimp, which is neither shrimp nor mantis. It belongs to a large group of crustaceans known as stomatopods. Two of their characteristics are fast striking weaponry and perhaps the most complex eyes in the entire animal kingdom. As other small creatures are foods for them, they are part of the diet of larger predators, like sharks, red snappers, and squids.
