Why does it benefit some male and female animals to live separately? Sexual segregation, wherein the sexes of a species live apart for long periods of time, has far-reaching consequences for the ecology, behavior, and conservation of hooved mammals, which are called ungulates. Award-winning researcher R. Terry Bowyer has spent the past four decades unravelling the causes and consequences of this perplexing phenomenon by studying ungulates and the large carnivores that prey upon them. In Sexual Segregation in Ungulates, Bowyer's critical, thought-provoking approach helps resolve long-standing disagreements concerning sexual segregation and offers future pathways for species and habitat conservation. He highlights important elements of the natural history of wild ungulate species, including bighorn sheep and elk. He then uses this perspective to frame and test hypotheses illuminating the motivations behind sexual segregation. He investigates the role of sexual segregation in mechanisms underpinning ungulate mating systems, sexual dimorphism, paternal behavior, and population dynamics. Bowyer's research spans ecosystems from deserts to the Arctic and involves most species of ungulates inhabiting the North American continent. He also provides a timely review of sexual segregation for species of plants and other animals, including humans. Covering definitions, theory, findings, and practical applications of related study, Bowyer describes the behavioral patterns related to sexual segregation, explains how to detect these patterns, and considers the implications of sexual segregation for new approaches to conservation and management of ungulates and other species of wildlife. This book is essential reading for scientists and all those interested in the conservation and management of species, including wildlife professionals, hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, and naturalists.

George was doing his best to be as quiet as possible when he heard the sound of footsteps coming closer, then he heard something else ...breathing, then movement somewhere near him. The noise was maybe six to ten feet away to his left. He twisted himself between two large trash dumpster pushing himself tighter against the wall and waited. He was afraid to breathe hoping they would not spot him. Somewhere between him and the dumpster, a shadow moved the sound only a few inches away, his blood begun to rush through him. Scared shitless, George, pushed himself back against the wall into the shadows as close to the wall as he could. An involuntary cry almost inhuman sound came from him.

This was total insanity; she tried to turn the wheel into the skid, but she couldn't, she lost control. Her body flung forward, then back as the car hit a tree. Raising her hands in front of her face trying to protect it from flying glass as she flung forward again, about to hit the steering wheel, the airbag deployed, like a cork from a champagne bottle, it slammed hard against her hands causing them to smash into her face. She slammed backward her head hitting the headrest. The airbag released a choking cloud of powder, filling the car's interior. The pain was sharp, and biting, she tried to hold her breath to avoid breathing in the residue from the powder. The pain seared through her, vertigo and dizziness spun all around, fear twisted her thoughts; she was losing consciousness falling deeper into a blackness that she couldn't control. Off in the distance she could hear voices; they were coming for her...Oh, God no...

hidden lives / secret gardens is a synthetic history about gardens and human sexuality. Written in an accessible style for the garden enthusiast, the serious landscape designer, and those interested in the lives of international celebrities, the book explores the very roots of Modernism as begun in Florence, Italy in the very first year of the twentieth century.

For the past twenty-years, R. Terry Schnadelbach, FAAR, Professor of Landscape Architecture, University of Florida, has researched the Modernist era in landscape architecture. He authored a book, "Ferruccio Vitale, Landscape Architect of the Country Place Era," on the Florentine landscape architect, who brought to America both the formal garden as well as its first Modernist landscapes. In hidden lives / secret gardens, Schnadelbach exposes the engaging and intertwined lives of a group of expatriates, their secluded hillside villas and secret new gardens that ushered a new direction in garden design. Three successive new gardens at Villas Gamberaia, La Pietra and I Tatti were among the earliest Modernist landscapes and were an inspiration many landscape professionals in Britain and America.

While hidden lives / secret gardens manuscript focuses on the revival of the Renaissance aesthetic in Florence and paints a picture of each garden's history, it explores the new and emerging field of sexual psychology through the hidden lives of the Villa's owners and designers, revealing their artistic life styles, their commercial and sexual mores.

The desire of my heart is that Christians would get serious about understanding and applying the Bible. There are many devotional materials available but most follow a theme or topic applying a Scripture passage to a life situation. I have developed a devotion that starts with the text of Romans and applies principles and insights from the text to life situations. This daily devotion will guide you through the Book of Romans, verse by verse, building understanding and making challenging applications; while at the same time enhancing the memory to be able to recall Scripture due to intentional repetition. The intention of this devotional is that it be used with your Bible as a thought provoking device that stirs your curiosity and drives you to dig deeper to find answers to the perplexing questions that come to mind. I believe that this devotion will benefit everybody whether new to the Lord Jesus Christ or not.
