Alice Munro, one of the world's finest short story writers, published 17 books between 1968 and 2014, and was awarded the third Man Booker International Prize in 2009 and the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2013. This worldwide recognition calls for a look at her very first collection of short stories, Dance of the Happy Shades, published in 1968.
What Lives in a Shell? by Kathleen Weidner Zoehfeld Pdf
Read and find out about what lives in a shell in this colorfully illustrated nonfiction picture book. A house is a home for you, a nest is a home for a bird, and a cave is a home for a bear.

A Glimpse Inside The Shell takes the reader on a journey of self discovery through the lens of a 20-year-old, reclusive woman. She invites readers behind her elusive shell which shockingly unmasks loneliness, depression, isolation & despair. Although she is known for being bubbly, chipper, and happy go lucky, her pain has been her best kept secret: until she couldn't hide it anymore. This collection of poems colorfully depict an outcry of frustration, as the author fights through feeling alone, only to discover a surprising ally in Jesus; who has been there all along.

When we comb the beach for shells, we very rarely consider the creatures that once lived inside them. This dazzling collection of specially commissioned photographs opens our eyes to the variety, complexity, and beauty of shells and their inhabitants. This fascinating book reveals the variety of subjects that can be called "shells," and looks in detail at the unusual animals that live within them from limpets to sea urchins, and from crabs to terrapins. It examines the habitats where shells can be found, and shows us shell fossils from millions of years ago. Several of the specimens featured were photographed alive; others come from specialized museum collections and are seen here for the first time. All are reproduced with such clarity of detail that they give us new insight into the strange and wonderful world of shells. Shell is an exceptionally clear and informative visual guide. It presents an intimate view of these mysterious creatures, their past and present, and their everlasting appeal. Discover the amazing world of shelled animals their evolution, variety, and habitats
Recent Developments in Anisotropic Heterogeneous Shell Theory by Alexander Ya. Grigorenko,Wolfgang H. Müller,Yaroslav M. Grigorenko,Georgii G. Vlaikov Pdf
This brief book presents solutions of stress-strain problems for a wide class of anisotropic inhomogeneous shells obtained by the refined model. Studying these problems results in severe computational difficulties due to partial differential equations with variable coefficients resulting from the constitutive relations of the original model. To solve this problem the book uses spline-collocation and discrete-orthogonalization methods. It analyses the influence of geometrical and mechanical parameters, of various kinds of boundary conditions, and of the loading conditions on the distributions of stress and displacement fields in shallow, spherical, conical, and noncircular cylindrical shells. The dependence of the stress-strain pattern on shell thickness variations is studied. The authors solve the problem also for the case of the thickness varying in two directions. They study how a variation in shell thickness influences the stress-strain state and consider noncircular cylindrical shells with elliptical and corrugated sections are considered. The results obtained during numerous calculations support the efficiency of the discrete-orthogonalization approach proposed in the monograph for solving static problems for anisotropic inhomogeneous shells when using the refined model.
Trundling along in essentially the same form for some 220 million years, turtles have seen dinosaurs come and go, mammals emerge, and humankind expand its dominion. Is it any wonder the persistent reptile bested the hare? In this engaging book physiologist Donald Jackson shares a lifetime of observation of this curious creature, allowing us a look under the shell of an animal at once so familiar and so strange. Here we discover how the turtle’s proverbial slowness helps it survive a long, cold winter under ice. How the shell not only serves as a protective home but also influences such essential functions as buoyancy control, breathing, and surviving remarkably long periods without oxygen, and how many other physiological features help define this unique animal. Jackson offers insight into what exactly it’s like to live inside a shell—to carry the heavy carapace on land and in water, to breathe without an expandable ribcage, to have sex with all that body armor intervening. Along the way we also learn something about the process of scientific discovery—how the answer to one question leads to new questions, how a chance observation can change the direction of study, and above all how new research always builds on the previous work of others. A clear and informative exposition of physiological concepts using the turtle as a model organism, the book is as interesting for what it tells us about scientific investigation as it is for its deep and detailed understanding of how the enduring turtle “works.”
