A richly illustrated guide to the marvelously diverse plankton of the world and their fundamental role in planetary food websPlankton are the unsung heroes of planet Earth. Passive drifters through the world’s seas, oceans, and freshwater environments, most are invisible or very small, but some are longer than a whale. They are the global ocean’s foundation food, supporting almost all oceanic life, and they are also vitally important for land-based plants, animals, and other organisms. Plankton provides an incomparable look at these remarkable creatures, opening a window on the elegance and grace of microscopic marine life.This engaging book reveals the amazing diversity of plankton, how they belong to a wide range of living groups, and how their ecology, lifestyles, and adaptations have evolved to suit an enormous range of conditions. It looks at plankton life cycles, the different ways plankton feed and grow, and the vast range of strategies they use for reproduction. It tracks where, how, and why plankton drift through the water; shares perspectives on migrations and population explosions or “blooms” and why they happen; and discusses the life-sustaining role of plankton in numerous intertwined food webs throughout the world.Beautifully illustrated, Plankton sheds critical light on how global warming, pollution, diminishing resources, and overexploitation will adversely impact planktonic life, and how these effects will reverberate to every corner of our planet.

Harper Lee Gallagher has been waiting more than a year to face the man who killed her entire family. From across the courtroom, she finally sees Donald Beckworth, but now that the time has come, painful memories sweep back into control. As she faces the wealthy and influential drunk driver, and the school bully who injured her in the spring, she also mourns the loss of her friends: Adrian, who has gone from Stone Lake, and entered the foster system, and Winter, who has simply--gone. The summer brings the drama of two court cases and the understanding that the man who killed her family has destroyed another family as well, and leads her into an alliance she could never have expected. It also brings days of sunshine and beaches; of friendship and trust. Then Harper meets Julien. When Ed Thompson's handsome young nephew comes to spend the summer on Ed's horse farm, the young man offers Harper more than friendship; much more than she expected. Juggling her burgeoning love life, friends, legal cases, the demanding attention of the media, and her dedication to help save 18 horses from a life of abuse and neglect, Harper races through the summer months, toward her junior year of high school. But with the bitter changes that the summer brings, she is left to wonder again if she is where she belongs, and if she ever will be.

The small town of Stone Lake, surrounded by lakes and forests is not the setting that 15-year old Harper Lee Gallagher imagined for her life-but when her life's backdrop is shattered by unthinkable tragedy, the choice is taken out of her hands.Alone and starting over, she finds acceptance and peace among new family, new friends, Athena, the beautiful white horse that starts her spirit on a journey of spiritual healing, and the foreign surroundings of natural beauty that she had forgotten she'd once dreamed of having for her own.After bitter months of resenting her sister's interference in the loss of her first crush, Harper struggles with the growing stigma of sweet 16 and never been kissed, even while she adjusts to the surprising attention being the new girl in a small town generates among boys and girls alike; bringing to her, the best friends she's ever known, and enemies who could prove to be dangerous to her in every possible way.Her year-long journey brings her full circle to the moment of truth: to face what brought her to Stone Lake in the first place, and the courage it will take to face the demons of her past.My Name is Harper Lee Gallagher is the first of a 3-book saga of living, loving, and self-discovery amidst an ever-changing dynamic that only growing up can bring.Look for: Harper Lee and Friends in 2019.
