Description

We share the earth with a wide variety of animal species, each of which brings something special to the diversity of the planet. By knowing more about how animals behave and live, we gain a greater understanding of how life evolved and the importance of biodiversity. Hibernation examines those animals that cannot migrate and are forced to remain in a habitat that is inhospitable and consequently sleep deeply for weeks or months. Known as hibernation for winter sleep and estivation for its summer equivalent, this unique trait involves many special behaviors — how do such animals prepare for sleep? where do they sleep? how do they store energy? how do they wake up? The book provides a thorough guide, perfect for research papers in biology classes, for understanding the behavior and biodiversity of a fascinating and unusual group of animals. Beautifully illustrated, with numerous color images, Hibernation provides copious material for understanding these unusual animals.

Description

The icebergs are melting. The animals are dying. The planet is buckling under the weight of our neglect, our greed. We dream of a sustainable future but could we dream ourselves into one?
In Hibernation, one simple idea is turned into a global movement: what if we could somehow turn back the clock? What if everyone on earth went to sleep for a year and let nature take back control? This startling premise sets the stage for Finegan Kruckemeyer’s bold and brilliant adventure through an imagined future that feels barely a heartbeat away from the present.
A globally sanctioned shutdown—in an idea conceived long before the pandemic—sees citizens of every nation fill their lungs with chemically altered air … and wait. What happens next is moving, terrifying and totally transformative.
This epic and intimate portrayal of the personal impact of environmental crisis is at its core a story of lives lived, loved and squandered, of good acts and bad, and of redemption.
We’ve made our beds. Now we must sleep in them.
