Anole lizards have grown larger toe pads, to grip more tightly in frequent hurricanes. Warm waters cause the development of Humboldt squid to alter so dramatically that fishermen mistake them for different species. Brown pelicans move north, and long-spined sea urchins south, to find cooler homes. And when coral reefs sicken, they leave no territory worth fighting for, so aggressive butterfly fish transform instantly into pacifists. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA story of hope, resilience, and risk, \u003ci\u003eHurricane Lizards and Plastic Squid\u003c\/i\u003e is natural history for readers of Bernd Heinrich, Robin Wall Kimmerer, and David Haskell. It is also a reminder of how unpredictable climate change is as it interacts with the messy lattice of life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thor Hanson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1541672429\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781541672420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Basic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/28\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.43h x 5.75w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/28\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2021 pg. 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/28\/2021","brand":"Thor Hanson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44053941649663,"sku":"9781541672420","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8120c10f-f88a-48c9-b60f-a43b9c3378a0.jpg?v=1685027105","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hurricane-lizards-and-plastic-squid-thor-hanson-9781541672420","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
