Referred to in the Bible, pictured on the wall-friezes of ancient
Egyptian tombs, and a subject of fascination for generations of
scientists, the tilapias (Cichlidae: Tilapiini) have featured in
the diet and culture of humankind for thousands of years. The
present century has seen their spread from Africa throughout the
tropics and sub-tropics, largely for food and fisheries purposes.
This book attempts to pull together our knowledge of this important
group - their biology and fisheries and aquaculture - in a single
volume, something that has not been done comprehensively for nearly
two decades. A succession of chapters by acknowledged authorities
covers evolution, phylogenetic relationships and biogeography,
reproductive biology, mating systems and parental care, diet,
feeding and digestive physiology, environmental physiology and
energetics, the role of tilapias in ecosystems, population dynamics
and management, genetics, seed production, nutrition, farming,
economics and marketing. The book is aimed at biologists, fisheries
scientists, aquaculturists, and all interested in aquatic ecology.

The advent of digital publishing has seen the rise of a new breed
of writers: independent, experimental and unfettered by convention.
This brand new anthology features a small sampling of these very
writers, in a speculative fiction collection that will capture the
imagination and dazzle the senses. The storytelling genius in this
collection is most evidenced by its memorable characters: a young
woman haunted by her ex-boyfriend's sweater, time travelers with a
suspicious interest in babies, a gender-changing alien desperate to
heal a loved one... In these stories, fourteen independent authors
display the imagination, insight and wonderful originality that
characterizes the unique world of online fiction.
Kani isn't Tundra. Tundra is a dustrunner: a ruthless space pirate,
flying dangerous missions in low Earth orbit, risking the lives of
millions of people below. Kani is just a regular teenager, and she
wants absolutely nothing to do with that. Unfortunately, she has no
choice. Now, thrown into a world of deception and betrayal, Kani
must fight to keep herself alive as she's hunted by law
enforcement, spies, mobsters, and even her so-called teammates,
none of whom want to see her survive another day. All she needs to
do is make one fatal mistake: tell them who she really is.
This is an EXACT reproduction of a book published before 1923. This
IS NOT an OCR'd book with strange characters, introduced
typographical errors, and jumbled words. This book may have
occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages, poor
pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the original
artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process. We believe
this work is culturally important, and despite the imperfections,
have elected to bring it back into print as part of our continuing
commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide. We
appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in the
preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.
