Why are we drawn to the ocean each summer? Why does being near
water set our minds and bodies at ease? In Blue Mind, Wallace J.
Nichols revolutionizes how we think about these questions,
revealing the remarkable truth about the benefits of being in, on,
under, or simply near water. Grounded in cutting-edge studies in
neurobiology, cognitive psychology, economics, and medicine, and
made real by stories of innovative scientists, doctors, athletes,
artists, environmentalists, businesspeople and lovers of nature -
stories that fascinate the mind and touch the heart - Blue Mind
will awaken readers to the vital importance of water to the health
and happiness of us all.
Sea turtle populations around the world are endangered, and in
recent years tourism has been a critical element in worldwide
efforts to save them. More travelers seek meaningful experiences
that bring them close to nature and wildlife, and opportunities to
interact with and help sea turtles now exist at locations around
the globe, from remote beaches to urban labs. In "A Worldwide
Travel Guide to Sea Turtles, "a scientist, a conservationist, and a
journalist have come together to provide a guide to the places
where people can view sea turtles and participate in authentic
conservation projects. Covering five continents and including the
South Pacific and Caribbean, the authors direct readers to the
parks, reserves, and research sites where they can responsibly
observe turtles in the wild, especially nesting beaches where
people can see female sea turtles lay eggs and hatchlings make
their harrowing journey from nest to sea. Options for on-site
lodging and other amenities are included, if available, as well as
details of other nearby attractions that travelers may wish to
include in their itineraries.
