O'Reilly.Unix.in.a.Nutshell
Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback
from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach
to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects.
The animal featured on the cover of Unix in a Nutshell is a tarsier, a nocturnal mammal
related to the lemur. Its generic name, Tarsius, is derived from the animal’s very
long ankle bone, the tarsus. The tarsier is a native of the East Indies jungles from
Sumatra to the Philippines and Sulawesi, where it lives in the trees, leaping from
branch to branch with extreme agility and speed.
A small animal, the tarsier’s body is only six inches long, followed by a ten-inch
tufted tail. It is covered in soft brown or grey silky fur, has a round face, and huge
eyes. Its arms and legs are long and slender, as are its digits, which are tipped with
rounded, fleshy pads to improve the tarsier’s grip on trees. Tarsiers are active only
at night, hiding during the day in tangles of vines or in the tops of tall trees. They
subsist mainly on insects, and though very curious animals, tend to be loners. |
