In How to Mellify a Corpse, Vicki León brings her particular hybrid of history and humor to the entwined subjects of science and superstition in the ancient world, from Athens and Rome to Mesopotamia, the Holy Land, Egypt, and Carthage. León covers subjects as diverse as astronomy and astrology, philosophy and practicalities of life and death (including the titular ancient method of embalming), and ancient mechanical engineering. How to Mellify a Corpse of course invokes legendary thinkers (Pythagoras and his discoveries in math and music, Aristotle's books on politics and philosophy, and Archimedes' "Eureka" moment), but it also delves deeply into the lives of everyday people, their understanding and beliefs. 
 A feast for the curious mind, How to Mellify a Corpse is not only for those with an interest in the experimental: it's for anyone who's inspired by the imagination and ingenuity humanity uses to understand our world.

What are Pinnipeds? "Pinniped" - meaning "feather-or fin-footed" - describes a family of chubby marine mammals often lumped together as seals. The family includes walruses, eared seals such as the sea lion, and earless or "true" seals. In this book, we'll be looking at the pinnipeds most often seen along the Pacific coast of North America: harbor seals, California seal lions, and northern elephant seals. About 25 millions years ago, the first eared seal made its appearance, having evolved from a bearlike ancestor. (True seals came somewhat later by was of an otterlike ancestor.) Today over 30 species of pinnipeds live in nearly every ocean of the world. These pinniped cousins have distinct looks and lives. They can be as massive as an 6,000-pound southern elephant seal, or as small as a 125-pound ringed seal. Some are quiet, other, non-stop vocalizers. What do these family members have in common? First, they are comfortable in two worlds: on land and in the sea. They share a common body shape - muscular, sleek, well-padded with blubber. With these flippered bodies, pinnipeds flash through the water with acrobatic grace and speed. On land, we often find their movements amusing, but they don't do badly here, either. Some seals can slide 100 feet a minute on their bellies. There are two-ton pinnipeds that can climb steep sand dines - even cliffs. Depending on species, pinnipeds haul out on land to rest, mate, to give birth, to nurse pups, and to molt. -from the Introduction

Images from Free Willy and captive killer whales performing at Sea World don’t tell the real story of these marvelous creatures. With their vast bulk and killer” instincts, these predators  weighing up to ten tons and eating more than 100 pounds of food a day  rule their underwater world. This lively book introduces young readers to every aspect of these singular beasts, from their surprising social arrangements (living in lifelong family groups) to their pod-specific dialects to their awesome methods of killing prey. Photos by noted wildlife cinematographer Jeff Foott include rare shots of killer whale behavior.
