Download or read book The Ruff written by Johan G. Van Rhijn and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2010-10-30 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ruff is a fascinating species whose elaborate breeding behaviour has captivated ornithologists for decades. Their communal display grounds, or leks, provide an extreme example of a social system widespread in birds and other animals, in which brilliantly plumaged males seemingly compete for the attention of passing females. In this book, Johan van Rhijn explores this complex and intricate drama, both to lay bare the details of the players' private lives, and to provide a means of exploring the wider variety of wader breeding systems. Strands of evidence for all aspects of the Ruffs life, in and out of the breeding season, come together to give a thought-provoking insight into this important area of biology. Specialists and birdwatchers alike will have much to learn from this intriguing story and the insights it provides. Illustrated by Ian Willis.
Download or read book Mitchell Ruff written by William Knowlton Zinsser and published by Paul Dry Books. This book was released on 2000 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This portrait of jazz musicians Willie Ruff and Dwike Mitchell tells not just how these men became musicians but how they live their lives as musicians -- how they give the gift of jazz to communities that would otherwise not have access to this powerful music. Born into Southern homes long before the civil rights era began, Ruff and Mitchell became successful musicians with degrees from two of the country's most elite conservatories. Mitchell and Ruff follows the musicians to Shanghai, where they bring jazz to China; to the Midwest, where they demonstrate their talents to audiences usually ignored by musicians; to New York City, where Mitchell teaches a new generation of talented but untrained musicians; and to Venice, where Ruff travels back to the roots of Western music in order to understand jazz legacy.

Download or read book The Brian Gibbs Glaze Story Beyond Lucky written by Brain Gibbs Glaze and published by Ustar Publishing. This book was released on 2015-09-11 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Time stopped, I heard nothing, but felt the recoil, forcing my hand to jerk back. I watched the bullet and sensed it travel through her head and then the sound as it exited, made everything crystal clear. I must have closed my eyes, because I never saw any blood as her head didn't seem to budge. It was surreal. Then, being so close, the matter from her brain, head and skull splattered onto my face. I can recall, not thinking, taking my tongue licking the blood from my face and using the sleeve of my hoodie to wipe off the rest. At that moment I realized I crossed over to the dark side.” -Glaze suspected of killing of a rookie cop, that enraged the country and started police drug raids and investigations throughout America, tells the real facts behind the killing of Edward Byrnes. -Beyond Lucky is a story of extraordinary violence, brutality and redemption. Crack, money, murder and Brian “Glaze” Gibbs became synonymous to local and federal law enforcement agencies. Brian admits he was guided by a distorted logic and the peer pressure of the inner city and the desire to be Fly: shakin, money makin and stylin’. -From the bloody streets of New York to being singled out by Joe Biden’s 1996 senate subcommittee investigating the effectiveness of the Witness Protection Program. During that hearing the US Government admitted it had given him the deal, believing he was responsible for fifty murders, and was allowed to keep thirty-five million dollars from his trade as a drug lord. -"Glaze" describes in great detail how despite being raised by a loving mother and being a church going child he became a major drug lord. He started out as an enforcer for one of the most notorious drug lords and eventually became so bloodthirsty that his mentor and accomplices had to restrain him. -What makes Brian's story so special is that individuals such as Leslie Caldwell, Assistant Attorney General, who fought to get him into the Witness Protection program after Glaze confessed to multiple murders, attempted murders and drug trafficking. -Beyond Lucky! How does a man like Brian "Glaze" Gibbs roll the dice and escape a death sentence, or multiple life sentences, and survived the New York City drug wars that resulted in hundreds of people being killed – too many of them by him. He has been described as the murderer with a big heart and endless charisma. -After serving only eight years and eight months for his crimes, he was given a new identity and unbeknownst to his neighbors – he is now a murderer in their midst. -It's easy for Brian to say he has changed, been redeemed, but to have it confirmed by key individuals whom he is still in contact with such as: Joe Ponzi, Chief Investigator for the New York State District Attorney's Office and Leslie Caldwell, Assistant United State Attorney, FBI agents Richard Martinez and David Higgins who originally were Glaze's nemesis, fought to get him one more chance at life. Glaze, when asked why he was so fortunate, he responded, “Well, I wonder myself, but I'm not one to second guess God." -Brian "Glaze" Gibbs is the blueprint for every drug lord that that grew up in York City. A story any wannabe criminal, drug dealer should read before hitting "The Street" wanting to make $40,000 a day.

Download or read book Birdwatchers Year written by Donald Watson and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2010-11-30 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Birdwatchers' Year is, in essence, six 'years' of bird activity and behaviour as recorded, month by month, by six experienced bird watchers and ornithologists. The result is a fascinating compilation of fact, anecdote and general observation as seen and noted by the authors, that will appeal to birdwatchers at all levels of expertise. The habitats (Brent Reservoir in NW London, a Kentish woodland, the Ouse Washes in Cambridgeshire, farmland in Derbyshire, a mountain region of SW Scotland, and an island, the Calf of Man) encompass a wide and varied range of breeding, resident and passage birds, but the authors' observations are not confined to bird life alone - there are comments and 'asides' on many aspects of natural history and wildlife, weather and seasons, conservation and ecology. Each author has brought an individual approach to his 'diary' with the result that they are entertainingly diverse in style, content and viewpoint. The common factor throughout is an affectionate regard for the subject, an intimate knowledge of the habitat, and an evident understanding and knowledge of the birds and their environment. The diarists are: Leo Batten, Research Officer at the British Trust for Ornithology; Dr Jim Flegg, Director of the BTO; Jeremy Sorensen, RSPB Warden of the Ouse Washes; Donald Watson, bird artist and past-President of the Scottish Ornithologists' Club; Mike J. Wareing, farmer; Malcolm Wright, Warden of the Calf of Man Bird Observatory. The diaries are illustrated with line drawings by Ian Willis, except for that of Donald Watson, which is illustrated by its author. The bookjacket illustrations are by Ian Willis.
