Feature
Smart and Spineless Exploring Invertebrate IntelligenceDescription
When you think of smart animals, what comes to mind? Wise old owls? Problem-solving dolphins? Maybe you have heard of Koko the gorilla, who has mastered one thousand signs in American Sign Language, or Chaser the border collie, who recognizes one thousand names for her stuffed toys.But what about ants building megacolonies or bees reporting to the hive about new nesting sites? What about escape artist octopuses and jellyfish that use their eyes (they have twenty-four!) to navigate? Are insects, spiders, and other animals without backbones considered smart, too?
When we think of intelligent creatures, we often think of vertebrates, or animals with spinal columns and relatively large brains. We don't usually think of invertebrates, or animals without a spine. But invertebrates can be astonishingly intelligent. These animals exhibit surprising feats of learning, memory, and problem-solving using their relatively simple, tiny brains some the size of a sesame seed or even smaller. In fact, some intelligent invertebrates have no brain at all!
Scientists around the world are putting invertebrate intelligence to use in mind-boggling ways. Engineers are designing swarmbots based on bees to take part in search-and-rescue efforts. And materials scientists are basing a new, tough ceramic on the structure of a mantis shrimp's claw. In Smart and Spineless, readers will be challenged to think in a whole new way about what it means to be smart!
4. Memoir of "A Sloppy, Spineless, Creature": Surviving My Family and the British Class System
Description
With candour and dry wit, Rose Dudley recounts her early years as an only child of divorced parents, being raised, on a farm in rural Wales during WWII, by a mentally unbalanced grandmother and struggling with the British class system. At age eleven, she was separated from her friends by the ill-conceived wisdom of the British education system which landed her in a prestigious school. There, she fitted in like a sore thumb and was presented with further challenges that she claims affected all her future relationships but did, at least, provide her with a title for her memoir. The characters, so typical of those seen in British dramas, are brought to life on the page and will provide laugh-aloud moments. Teachers of young children will identify with the author's experiences in the classroom and the feeling of panic on being faced with the responsibility of that first group of 30 to 40 small children. Her descriptions of the countryside, references to historical events and the ideas and social mores of the forties, fifties and sixties will fill you with nostalgia and a yearning to return to the simpler life, that in these times of crass commercialism and super-abundance, we are all beginning to crave.5.

Spineless: The Science of Jellyfish and the Art of Growing a Backbone
Description
Part travelogue, part memoir, part deep-dive (literally) into the world of jellyfish...Spinelesscan serve as inspiration for any of us to reclaim a creative space in the midst of family life.NPRA former ocean scientist goes in pursuit of the slippery story of jellyfish, rediscovering her passion for marine science and the seas imperiled ecosystems.
Jellyfish have been swimming in our oceans for well over half a billion years, longer than any other animal that lives on the planet. They make a venom so toxic it can kill a human in three minutes. Their stingmicroscopic spears that pierce with five million times the acceleration of gravityis the fastest known motion in the animal kingdom. Made of roughly 95 percent water, some jellies are barely perceptible virtuosos of disguise, while others glow with a luminescence that has revolutionized biotechnology. Yet until recently, jellyfish were largely ignored by science, and they remain among the most poorly understood of ocean dwellers.
More than a decade ago, Juli Berwald left a career in ocean science to raise a family in landlocked Austin, Texas, but jellyfish drew her back to the sea. Recent, massive blooms of billions of jellyfish have clogged power plants, decimated fisheries, and caused millions of dollars of damage. Driven by questions about how overfishing, coastal development, and climate change were contributing to a jellyfish population explosion, Juli embarked on a scientific odyssey. She traveled the globe to meet the biologists who devote their careers to jellies, hitched rides on Japanese fishing boats to see giant jellyfish in the wild, raised jellyfish in her dining room, and throughout it all marveled at the complexity of these alluring and ominous biological wonders.
Gracefully blending personal memoir with crystal-clear distillations of science, Spineless is the story of how Juli learned to navigate and ultimately embrace her ambition, her curiosity, and her passion for the natural world. She discovers that jellyfish science is more than just a quest for answers. Its a call to realize our collective responsibility for the planet we share.

13. Spineless
Description
Slade Vandal hates bullies. I mean hates them. Violent spouses, blackmailers, abusers, gangbangers. He despises them all. I guess that's what having a psychopathic abusive father and an indifferent mother does to a person. Slade, now thirty-five, wants to relieve Los Angeles of these bullies and evildoers. He thought about buying a machine gun and going ape - you know, Falling Down and Death Wish stuff. But then he had a better idea: Use electroshock therapy to alter the abusers' minds until they're docile, and then release them back into society. And guess what? It works. Slade's secret email address, passed on to those in need by former client-victims, receives new mail almost daily. Victims identify their abusers and beg Slade to take their agony away. For years, his client-victims send only gratitude. Then, a recent client, thirteen-year-old D.G. explains that, while his bully no longer tortures him and makes his life a living hell, he, D.G., has begun hurting himself. Emotionally traumatized, depressed, and unable to cope, D.G. has taken to cutting, self-defeatism, and starving himself. Slade's electroshock therapy zombifies abusers' minds until they lose their aggressive nature. But what about when the victim turns on himself? Now Slade must invent a humane treatment that breaks the cycle without damaging D.G.'s mind. He learns he can relieve both self-abusers and abusers without harming either's quality of life. If Slade can avoid the twisted schemes of a private investigator, a man who's connected Slade to a recent abduction, Slade can save D.G., himself, and the lives of future clients. Enter the world of evolution. Life only begins when you conquer the darkest layer of human nature. Amy Langevin is the author of two short horror stories. "Tied in Love" in the anthology Thirteen Vol. 3 (Cloontubrid Press, 2013) and "The Required Bits" in 100 Doors to Madness (Forgotten Tomb Press, 2013). Her horror poetry collection, The Man Who Married Death, will be available on Amazon in November 2017.14. Panthers and the Museum of Fire

Panthers and the Museum of FireDescription
Complex, urgent, and fascinating, this novella about walking, memory, and writing has earned comparisons from Woolf to Knausgaard
The narrator walks from Glebe to a central Sydney caf to return a manuscript by a recently-dead writer. While she walks, the reader enters the narrators entire world: life with family and neighbors, narrow misses with cars, her singular friendships, dinner conversations, and work. We learn of her adolescent desire for maturity and acceptance through a brush with religion, her anorexia, the exercise of that power when she was powerless in every other aspect of her life.
