Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story takes you from the recollections of a four-year-old through the years to a baby boomer's senior years. A glimpse of elementary school, junior high, and high school, to college and beyond. She shares her relationships, lets us know her family, friends, teachers, and colleagues. You will learn to know her and those who were and are part of her life- the ones who changed her life. There are loves and loses, all portrayed in a sincere, honest, and, many times, humorous way. It is written in a stream of consciousness manner, so you need to pay attention to keep up, or you'll miss some of the laughs and some of the tears, possibly all of the fun and all of the memories. The beginning is a bit like Happy Days meets A Christmas Story, without the bunny suit or BB gun. Through all of this is the emotional story of the person living it, and you'll feel it-the joy and the pain, the friendships, and hardships, and the great love of her life. The theme of this tale told from a senior point of view is the leap from childhood to puberty to adulthood and trying to negotiate all the changes physically, mentally, and strategically. The author leads you along the way in a manner that pushes you turn to the next page. Moving along with this small-town Midwestern firstborn tomboy through her senior years, the time when the realization hits that most of her life has gone by. Time to now assess all the choices, the decisions, the mistakes, and the victories and maybe devise a plan for the remaining future. Wanting to leave a story for her daughters and their children, Diane opens up her heart and lets you in, pulls you in. A journal becomes a novel, and the story is told. It is overwhelmingly a feel-good story with a bit of heartbreak thrown in...the story of a life.

Download or read book Silent Sparks written by Sara Lewis and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An informative, entertaining, and beautifully illustrated look at the beloved firefly For centuries, the beauty of fireflies has evoked wonder and delight. Yet for most of us, fireflies remain shrouded in mystery: How do fireflies make their light? What are they saying with their flashing? And what do fireflies look for in a mate? In Silent Sparks, noted biologist and firefly expert Sara Lewis dives into the fascinating world of fireflies and reveals the most up-to-date discoveries about these beloved insects. From the meadows of New England and the hills of the Great Smoky Mountains, to the rivers of Japan and mangrove forests of Malaysia, this beautifully illustrated and accessible book uncovers the remarkable, dramatic stories of birth, courtship, romance, sex, deceit, poison, and death among fireflies. The nearly two thousand species of fireflies worldwide have evolved in different ways—and while most mate through the aerial language of blinking lights, not all do. Lewis introduces us to fireflies that don't light up at all, relying on wind-borne perfumes to find mates, and we encounter glow-worm fireflies, whose plump, wingless females never fly. We go behind the scenes to meet inquisitive scientists who have dedicated their lives to understanding fireflies, and we learn about various modern threats including light pollution and habitat destruction. In the last section of the book, Lewis provides a field guide for North American fireflies, enabling us to identify them in our own backyards and neighborhoods. This concise, handy guide includes distinguishing features, habits, and range maps for the most commonly encountered fireflies, as well as a gear list. A passionate exploration of one of the world's most charismatic and admired insects, Silent Sparks will inspire us to reconnect with the natural world.
