Books about Debunks from Amazon.com

Have you ever seen a flying squirrel flapping through the air, watched a beaver carrying a load of mud on its tail, or ducked when a porcupine started throwing its quills? Probably not, says Warner Shedd, debunking these and many more popular myths about our animal friends in Owls Aren't Wise & Bats Aren't Blind. In this charming and eminently readable biology lesson, Warner Shedd, former regional executive for the National Wildlife Federation, offers scientific evidence that refutes many of the most tenacious and persevering folklore about wild animals. Full of humorous anecdotes and fascinating facts about more than thirty North American species, Owls Aren't Wise & Bats Aren't Blind is an entertaining dose of scientific reality for any nature enthusiast or armchair adventurer..

From the supplier: Research by University of Minnesota and Princeton University has revealed that the tendency for more workers to be injured on Monday is not due to weekend injuries reported wrongly under worker's compensation insurance. More than likely, the higher injury rate is due to inactivity over the weekend, which makes injury more likely after resuming a higher degree of work activity on Mondays.

From the supplier: A study of independent insurance agents and direct-writers has found that independent agents can compete well on cost efficiency. The Independent Insurance Agents of America (IIAA) study results contrast with those of an earlier study by Conning & Co and printed in the Wall Street Journal that predicted the demise of the independent agent. The IIAA study compared the efficiency of 20 companies from four distribution types and found big differences within each category.
