Orientation and Navigation in Vertebrates

This book reviews all major models and hypotheses concerning the mechanisms supposed to underlie the process of navigation in vertebrates. It covers data on all major model groups of vertebrates studied in the context of animal navigation, such as migratory birds, homing pigeons, sea turtles, subterranean mammals and some migratory fish species. Some other – less studied – groups, e.g., whales, have also been touched. The first part of the book describes different sources of navigational information, with their specific navigational mechanisms known or supposed to be employed by animals for navigational goals. The second part discusses possible functions of these mechanisms in different vertebrates and in the context of different navigational tasks, ranging from short-range navigation, often performed by animals within as small an area as several square meters, to long-distance global-scale migrations performed by many birds and some sea turtles during their lifespan. Romance simmers hot in the Nevada desert when Parker, a lonely horse trainer, hires Jerry, a sexy ex-con on parole, to work at his stables. Parker met Jerry years ago when Parker was an instructor in a program that used prisoners to train wild Mustangs. Jerry has a talent for working with the horses, but Parker never expected to see Jerry in the outside world and certainly didnt expect to feel such a strong attraction. Parkers been burned in the past, and hes not sure he can trust the ex-con with his heart. Jerry needs a job to stay on parole, but thats not the only reason he wants to spend time with his former instructor. Parkers as handsome as ever, and Jerry wouldnt mind if Parker screwed his brains out on a regular basis. Only Parkers as gun-shy as the horses he trains, and Jerrys had too many years keeping his emotions under wraps to be any good at relationships. Both men have old scars that run deep. Can they learn to overcome their pasts and forge a brand new future together? This story is also available in the Horsing Around anthology.

What is a Dom to do with a sub who actually works with such handy tools as handcuffs? While the answer may seem predictable, Tobias and Noah know how to make any such scene their very own, and Tobias finds that police training is an instinct almost as strong as Noah's need to submit.
