Download or read book Together in a Sudden Strangeness written by Alice Quinn and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2020-11-17 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this urgent outpouring of American voices, our poets speak to us as they shelter in place, addressing our collective fear, grief, and hope from eloquent and diverse individual perspectives. “One of the best books of poetry of the year . . . Quinn has accomplished something dizzying here: arranged a stellar cast of poets . . . It is what all anthologies must be: comprehensive, contradictory, stirring.” —The Millions **Featuring 107 poets, from A to Z—Julia Alvarez to Matthew Zapruder—with work in between by Jericho Brown, Billy Collins, Fanny Howe, Ada Limón, Sharon Olds, Tommy Orange, Claudia Rankine, Vijay Seshadri, and Jeffrey Yang** As the novel coronavirus and its devastating effects began to spread in the United States and around the world, Alice Quinn reached out to poets across the country to see if, and what, they were writing under quarantine. Moved and galvanized by the response, the onetime New Yorker poetry editor and recent former director of the Poetry Society of America began collecting the poems arriving in her inbox, assembling this various, intimate, and intricate portrait of our suddenly altered reality. In these pages, we find poets grieving for relatives they are separated from or recovering from illness themselves, attending to suddenly complicated household tasks or turning to literature for strength, considering the bravery of medical workers or working their own shifts at the hospital, and, as the Black Lives Matter movement has swept the globe, reflecting on the inequities in our society that amplify sorrow and demand our engagement. From fierce and resilient to wistful, darkly humorous, and emblematically reverent about the earth and the vulnerability of human beings in frightening times, the poems in this collection find the words to describe what can feel unspeakably difficult and strange, providing wisdom, companionship, and depths of feeling that enliven our spirits. A portion of the advance for this book was generously donated by Alice Quinn and the poets to Chefs for America, an organization helping feed communities in need across the country during the pandemic.

Download or read book Our Time Is Now written by Stacey Abrams and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2020-06-09 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From New York Times bestselling author of Lead From The Outside and political leader Stacey Abrams, a blueprint to end voter suppression, empower our citizens, and take back our country. "With each page, she inspires and empowers us to create systems that reflect a world in which all voices are heard and all people believe and feel that they matter." —Kerry Washington A recognized expert on fair voting and civic engagement, Abrams chronicles a chilling account of how the right to vote and the principle of democracy have been and continue to be under attack. Abrams would have been the first African American woman governor, but experienced these effects firsthand, despite running the most innovative race in modern politics as the Democratic nominee in Georgia. Abrams didn’t win, but she has not conceded. The book compellingly argues for the importance of robust voter protections, an elevation of identity politics, engagement in the census, and a return to moral international leadership. Our Time Is Now draws on extensive research from national organizations and renowned scholars, as well as anecdotes from her life and others’ who have fought throughout our country’s history for the power to be heard. The stakes could not be higher. Here are concrete solutions and inspiration to stand up for who we are?now. "This is a narrative that describes the urgency that compels me and millions more to push for a different American story than the one being told today. It's a story that is one part danger, one part action, and all true. It's a story about how and why we fight for our democracy and win." - Stacey Abrams

However, that excludes more than 30 species of wildcats documented across much of the world. Most regions lay claim to their own variety of wildcat, and for centuries, the island of Taiwan was fortunate enough to have two: the Formosan clouded leopard and the Taiwanese leopard cat. Sadly, due to a combination of overhunting and habitat loss, clouded leopards are thought to be extinct in Taiwan today. The leopard cat, on the other hand, is still clinging to survival, with estimates putting the total population at fewer than 500 individuals. Unlike clouded leopards, leopard cats can hide in plain sight. They’re the same size as a domestic cat and have similar tendencies—they primarily eat mice and rats, and though they can swim, they prefer to avoid water. Leopard cats sit firmly at the top of the food chain in the places they call home, mainly the low-altitude mountain regions of Miaoli, Taichung, and Nantou. Their presence in these areas keeps the local ecosystem in balance. Research begun little more than a decade ago has started to demonstrate just how essential they are—and why we need to save them. 人們想到世界上的野貓時，他們想的是大型貓科動物：獅子、老虎、花豹和美洲豹。然而，那並不包括三十多種世界各地多數地方有記載的野生貓科物種。大部分地區都宣稱擁有特有的野貓，而幾世紀以來，台灣這個島上有幸擁有兩種：台灣雲豹和台灣石虎。 令人難過的是，由於濫捕加上棲地消失，今天雲豹在台灣已被認為絕種了。另一方面，石虎仍然在竭力求生中，估計總數不到五百隻。和雲豹不同的是，石虎會躲在明顯的地方。牠們的體型和家貓一樣，也有相似的習性——牠們主要以鼠類為食，而牠們雖然會游泳，卻比較喜歡離水遠一點。 石虎在牠們的棲地中穩坐食物鏈頂端，棲地主要是在苗栗、台中和南投的低海拔山區。牠們出現在這些地區使當地的生態系統能維持平衡。十多年前展開的研究已開始顯示牠們是多麼不可或缺——以及為什麼我們需要拯救牠們。 3/6 As one of Taiwan’s few remaining larger carnivores, leopard cats are critical for keeping rat populations in check. Protecting them also preserves Taiwan’s biodiversity for future generations. However, some accuse the cats of getting in the way of progress. Farmers, in particular, have a grievance against the cats because they eat free-range chickens. To protect livestock, farmers often poison them. The biggest danger to leopard cats today isn’t hunters or farmers, though—it’s cars. From 2015 to 2018, one leopard cat a month was found dead on Taiwan’s roads, having been struck by a passing vehicle. To address this problem, the government has put into place a smart roadside detection system that can prevent accidents involving the cats. Tunnels have also been constructed under roads to allow animals to cross safely. So far, efforts appear to be working, as evidenced by the drop in leopard cat deaths. Even so, leopard cats still have a long way to go before they’re in the clear. Those who want to help can choose eco-friendly products that don’t pollute their habitat. Additionally, drive slowly on mountain roads and report any traps you see while walking in the woods. Together, we can make sure the leopard cat doesn’t go the way of the Formosan clouded leopard. 作為台灣少數僅存的大型肉食動物，石虎對於控制老鼠數量極為重要。保護石虎也為未來世代保存台灣的生物多樣性。然而，有些人指控石虎阻礙了發展。農夫尤其對石虎心生不滿，因為牠們會吃放養的雞隻。為了保護家畜，農夫常會毒死牠們。 不過今天石虎最大的威脅並不是獵人或農夫——而是車輛。從二○一五年到二○一八年，每個月都有一隻石虎在台灣道路上被行經的車輛撞死。為了處理這個問題，政府設置了智慧型道路偵測系統，能防止涉及石虎的意外。道路底下也興建地道讓動物可以安全穿越。到目前為止，從石虎死亡數量下滑就可證明努力似乎起了作用。 即使如此，石虎處境要安全無虞還有很長的路要走。想幫忙的人可以選擇對環境友善、不會汙染牠們棲地的產品。此外，行駛山間道路要減速慢行，而行走在樹林間看到捕獸夾要舉報。我們一起能確保石虎不會步上台灣雲豹的後塵。

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The remarkable story of the heroic effort to save and preserve Afghanistan's wildlife-and a culture that derives immense pride and a sense of national identity from its natural landscape. Postwar Afghanistan is fragile, volatile, and perilous. It is also a place of extraordinary beauty. Evolutionary biologist Alex Dehgan arrived in the country in 2006 to build the Wildlife Conservation Society's Afghanistan Program, and preserve and protect Afghanistan's unique and extraordinary environment, which had been decimated after decades of war. Conservation, it turned out, provided a common bond between Alex's team and the people of Afghanistan. His international team worked unarmed in some of the most dangerous places in the country-places so remote that winding roads would abruptly disappear, and travel was on foot, yak, or mule. In The Snow Leopard Project, Dehgan takes readers along with him on his adventure as his team helps create the country's first national park, completes the some of the first extensive wildlife surveys in thirty years, and works to stop the poaching of the country's iconic endangered animals, including the elusive snow leopard. In doing so, they help restore a part of Afghan identity that is ineffably tied to the land itself.

Download or read book Skunk and Badger written by Amy Timberlake and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first title in a warm and witty illustrated chapter-book series from Newbery Honor–winner Amy Timberlake and superstar illustrator Jon Klassen, about a pair of unlikely animal friends Analytical and set in his ways, Badger is taken aback when jolly, easygoing Skunk rings the doorbell to announce he’s Badger’s new roommate. (Badger may have been ignoring his landlord Aunt Lula’s letters . . . ) But as Badger begrudgingly opens up his home—and heart—to Skunk and his unconventional ways, the two characters become irrevocably changed by each other, establishing an odd-couple friendship that is timeless and real. Set in a brownstone in a town that evokes a slightly-more-urban Hundred Acre Wood, the story is part Wind in the Willows, part Wallace and Gromit. Filled with a delightful population of chickens, sheep, stoats, hedgehogs, voles and philosophical musings, it establishes the perfect scenario for illustrations by Caldecott Medal–winner (This Is Not My Hat) and Honor illustrator (Extra Yarn, Sam and Dave Dig a Hole) Jon Klassen.
