Download or read book Eight Bears Mythic Past and Imperiled Future written by Gloria Dickie and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2023-07-11 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A global exploration of the eight remaining species of bears—and the dangers they face. Bears have always held a central place in our collective memory, from Indigenous folklore and Greek mythology to nineteenth-century fairytales and the modern toy shop. But as humans and bears come into ever-closer contact, our relationship nears a tipping point. Today, most of the eight remaining bear species are threatened with extinction. Some, such as the panda bear and the polar bear, are icons of the natural world; others, such as the spectacled bear and the sloth bear, are far less known. In Eight Bears, journalist Gloria Dickie embarks on a globe-trotting journey to explore each bear’s story, whisking readers from the cloud forests of the Andes to the ice floes of the Arctic; from the jungles of India to the backwoods of the Rocky Mountain West. She meets with key figures on the frontlines of modern conservation efforts—the head of a rescue center for sun and moon bears freed from bile farms, a biologist known as Papa Panda, who has led China’s panda-breeding efforts for almost four decades, a conservationist retraining a military radar system to detect and track polar bears near towns—to reveal the unparalleled challenges bears face as they contend with a rapidly changing climate and encroaching human populations. Weaving together ecology, history, mythology, and a captivating account of her travels and observations, Dickie offers a closer look at our volatile relationship with these magnificent mammals. Engrossing and deeply reported, Eight Bears delivers a clear warning for what we risk losing if we don’t learn to live alongside the animals that have shaped our cultures, geographies, and stories.

Download or read book written by Sharon Nobilio and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do you call a cult leader who makes you hurt the one who loves you and love the one who hurts you? An Irish mother.And what do you call the devoted children of an Irish mother?Disowned.Ah, but this can't be my mother. My mother is so sweet, so cute, so TINY. Why, she's more like the Little People of her girlhood stories than some ominous Jim Jones figure...Isn't she?While this family history has all the elements of a sad childhood -- alcoholism, neglect, divorce -- the mother is so oddball-amusing, you scarcely notice the devastation of her children, even as they help to destroy their father. Unlike Frank McCourt's claim that there is no childhood more miserable than an poor Irish childhood, this is a chronicle of how true misery is more insidious. For it's when an Irish parent puts down the whiskey, and drags her children into her version of the American dream, that they will pine for the good old days when their mother was just a drunk and their daddy a happy deadbeat. BACKWARDS is a story of loyalty. And betrayal. Set in the innocent fifties and turbulent sixties, this childhood memoir traces an Irish war bride's pursuit of success. And when this poor country girl finally lands wealth and prestige, despite the hindrance of her backward children and their lazy father, surely that's a happy ending.Isn't it?

Book excerpt: Can generational curses be broken? As the heir to a family-owned wine dynasty, Stefano Pietrangelo has no time for love. Heck, he's not sure he even believes in love. He watched as his mother died due to complications in childbirth; watched his father check out of parenting, turning Stef and his baby brother over to their noxious grandmother, Nonna. Stef has learned to equate love with loss and pain. He doesn't need or have time for that in his life. Resigning himself to a bachelor's life, he declares himself married to the winery, and only takes time out for the odd one night stand to get his needs met. He offers nothing of himself except his body and he's happy to keep it that way. A one night stand with a fiery-haired angel changes his world forever. Time and time again, she invades his dreams until suddenly fate intervenes to bring them together again. Natalie Rourke has always tried to do the right thing. The family good girl, she scored straight A's in school, and did everything she was supposed to do in college (study, study, and study some more). She never partied or caroused with her friends; her singular focus was obtaining her nursing degree and then specializing as a nurse practitioner. On graduating with her NP designation, she allows herself one night of partying with friends and falls into bed with a gorgeous hunk who goes by the name Dante. They part ways without even an exchange of last names, and she vows to never do that again. Natalie may be a good girl, but she has a will of steel and a mouth to back it up - her assertiveness at work is often perceived as a bad attitude. She misses out on opportunity after opportunity until she lands on a cushy job as Giuseppe Pietrangelo's night nurse. When she learns that Stefano is none other than Dante, her first and only one night stand, her legendary temper will let fly. Soon, she will come to realize that Stefano has been dreaming of her too. The Pietrangelo family story continues in Book Three of the Laws of Attraction series, Dreaming.
