The Cataloguer's New Book Picks

Dazzled and Deceived : Mimicry and Camouflage / Peter Forbes
QH 546 F667 2009
We know that animals disguise themselves in order to succeed in the environment but in this book, Peter Forbes examines the ways that people have used what they’ve learned about camouflage from the natural world to change art, literature, military tactics and medical cures.

The North American Porcupine / Uldis Roze, 2nd ed.
QL 737 R652 R69 2009
Uldis Roze examines the biology of the North American Porcupine in this scholarly but very readable book. He explains quill design, defensive reactions, foraging, reproduction and life cycle and tells stories about the orphaned porcupine that he taught to climb trees and forage.

The Social Media Bible : Tactics, Tools, and Strategies for Business Success / Lon Safko, 2nd ed.
HF 5416.1265 S24 2010
This book is a one-stop place for information about using social media to help promote and grow your business.

Unlikely Friendships : 47 Remarkable Stories from the Animal Kingdom / Jennifer S. Holland
QL 775 H65 2011
I’m a sucker for cute animals and this book is filled with photos of rather adorable animals and heartwarming anecdotes about their unusual relationships. I think this book might come in handy around midterms when you’re stressed and just want to take a few minutes to relax.
