Kurzbeschreibung
For every living organism, the cycle of rest and rejuvenation is a necessity of life. So relax, put your feet up, and enjoy Sleep and Rest in Animals.<P>Explore the world of insects where a body at rest is usually treated as a meal. Many insects use camouflage -- looking like moss, bark, twigs, leaves, even bird droppings -- to avoid predators during naps. Other insects, such as the sulfur butterfly, simply roll over and play dead when they need a little rest.<P>In the diverse world of fish, amphibians, and reptiles, sleep becomes more complex. Discover why crocodiles sleep with their mouths wide open. Or how snakes get any shut-eye when they lack any eyelids.<P>Birds employ an array of sleep techniques. The albatross is capable of sleeping while in flight. Similarly, penguins manage to sleep and swim at the same time.<P>All mammals share the same sleep and rest characteristics: yawning, dreaming, and REM. However great variations exist among species. Some sleep standing, others while hanging. The shrew suffers from insomnia. And the dolphin seems to rest one brain hemisphere at a time - staying half-awake to avoid drowning.<P>Written for a wide audience, Lacrampe consulted with scientists from around the world to ensure scientific accuracy. Abundantly illustrated with vivid, close-up photographs, Sleep and Rest in Animals offers a unique perspective on wildlife ranging from mollusks to primates.

Sleep and Rest in Animals by Corine Lacrampe
11. Mai 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
Do butterflies sleep? Do snakes dream? Corine Lacrampe offers a reader-friendly introduction to the wonders of animal sleep. You'll discover the resting posture of moths and the one-eye-open "half-asleep" ability of birds and dolphins. Lush photos invite you into the bubbly bed chambers of parrot fish and the night nests of chimpanzees. Lions and koalas may yawn, but you won't as you enjoy this page-turning investigation of sleep.

interesting and has great pics, but not very detailed
2. Juni 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
This book, like the title says, is all about sleep and rest in animals. In the foreward, the author says that the meaning of "sleep" will be stretched a bit for the purposes of the book, so there's a lot of info on kinds of "sleep" that some might not consider to be sleep. The chapter on insects is a good example of this. I like that the author often notes areas where scientists disagree. Still, if you're looking for detailed information on sleep in various animals (insects, reptiles, birds, and mammals), this would not be a good book for you. The information in this book seems to be intended more to give you a general idea about sleep and rest in these animals, with occaisional interesting details. It's a great place to start if you don't have anything specific you want to know, but it's probably not what you're looking for if you already know a lot about the subject. However, this book does have excellent pictures, and I would recommend it just for those. Every picture is full color, and some take up two whole pages.
Very good book

Format:Taschenbuch
This is a wonderful book for children and adults of all ages, full of fun and informational facts about the resting habits of all sorts of animals. Filled with vivid and memorable photographs, this book presents a wealth of information and inspires conversation with little-known facts about animal behavior.
