- Includes bibliographical references and index."From finding food, water and shelter to traveling for commerce, trade and eventually exploring the world, humans have always had to find their way from one place to another. Are We There Yet? examines the evolution of how we navigate the world. Our earliest ancestors relied on built-in navigation systems in our brains and followed clues like star patterns and animal behavior. Then came the invention of maps, faster transportation and eventually technology, like satellites and GPS. And from the depths of the ocean to faraway planets, there's still plenty of exploring to do. Where will we go next?"--

- Includes bibliographical references (pages 437-442) and index."Beginning on August 17, 1942, American heavy bomber crews of the Eighth Air Force took off for combat in the hostile skies over occupied Europe. The final price was staggering. 4,300 B-17s and B-24s failed to return; nearly 21,000 men were taken prisoner or interned in a neutral country, and a further 17,650 made the ultimate sacrifice. Luck of the Draw is more than a war story. It's the incredible, inspiring story of Frank Murphy, one of the few survivors from the 100th Bombardment Group, who cheated death for months in a German POW camp after being shot out of his B-17 Flying Fortress. Now with a new foreword written by his granddaughter Chloe Melas, of CNN, and daughter Elizabeth Murphy.--

- Supernavigators : how animals find their way / by Barrie, David,1953-; Stefoff, Rebecca,1951-; Lan, Qu.;
- How do animals find their way? How does a bird leave its nest to find food? How does a humpback whale follow an arrow-straight course while it crosses an entire ocean? How does an Arctic tern travel 56,000 miles a year without getting lost? We know some things about how animals accomplish these remarkable feats of navigation. Monarch butterflies travel from Canada to Mexico by orienting to the sun. It's the light from the Milky Way that steers dung beetles. Then, there are animals like moths and sea turtles that are guided by Earth's magnetic field.
