This book was released on 2012-07-30 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK I have just dropped into the very place I have been seeking, but in everything it exceeds all my dreams. Imagine a time when the wild west was still wild, when no one knew what lay inside the dense forests blanketing Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. When grizzly bears still reigned supreme over California’s forests and the night was filled with the sounds of night creatures. Imagine a time when “ruffians” and “desperados” roamed the land, inspiring both fear and awe in all those who saw them. Imagine a time when Denver was a rough and ready town just recently brought under civil law, and the ink on the document proclaiming Colorado’s statehood was still wet. The mountains were not yet riddled with mine shafts, but hopes and dreams were just beginning to be smashed by the empty promises of wealth below the Earth’s surface. The year is 1873 and America is a wild place still recovering from a devastating civil war and learning how to be a country. Colorado is a wilderness just beginning to be populated by miners, settlers looking for a new life, and invalids grasping at the hope that the clean air will bring a cure. It is a beautiful place full of promise, but it is also a hard place that is more likely to break your heart. It is to this Colorado that Isabella Bird, a 43-year-old English lady, finds herself drawn. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK In 1873, Isabella Bird is 42 years old and she has mountain fever. She yearns to immerse herself in the beauty and culture of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. She doesn’t care if she has to rough it a little; she wants to ride a horse through dense forests and climb atop rocky crags, to look down on the world from above. Isabella’s journey begins in San Francisco and quickly moves to the Sierra Nevadas where she is transfixed by the sparkling emerald beauty of Lake Tahoe and the tragic mountain gem of Donner Lake. Dipping down on the easterly slope of the Sierras, she begins a long and tedious crossing of the Plains. Here she finds herself enclosed in an endless sea of grass that possesses all the loneliness of the ocean and none of the beauty. Isabella is stifled by the heat and black flies that coat every surface. The towns in which she stops are dreary outposts of no merit. So, she runs for the hills. For weeks, Isabella finds herself stuck in Canyon, Colorado staying with the Chalmers family. There is nothing beautiful about this place where everyone lives and breathes work. She lends a hand where she can and bides her time until she can figure out a way to reach Estes Park, the mountain land of her dreams. Just when Isabella is about to give up hope of ever reaching Estes Park, she finds two young men who will take her there. The ride is beautiful and before she knows it, they are at Rocky Mountain Jim’s cabin at the mouth of Estes Park. She is immediately struck by both the handsomeness, brutality, and charm of the ruffian. He continues to be in her thoughts until she comes upon Evans’s camp set up in a lovely meadow next to a picturesque lake. She decides to stay in this idyllic setting until winter comes on.

Book excerpt: Wild birds are everywhere, from the dry deserts to the icy poles. We see them soaring overhead, paddling across water, flitting through trees, pecking at the ground or our backyard bird feeders and singing from fence posts. Birds contribute to the health of the planet and provide pleasure for millions of people, but wild birds are in trouble. Today, almost 200 bird species are critically endangered. They are threatened by habitat loss, invasive species, climate change, pesticides, plastics in the environment, human-made structures and other animals. Bird’s-Eye View looks at why wild birds are important, why they need help and what young people all over the world are doing and can do to give wild birds a boost.

Download or read book Bird Love written by Wenfei Tong and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-24 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stunningly illustrated look at the mating and parenting lives of the world's birds Bird Love looks at the extraordinary range of mating systems in the avian world, exploring all the stages from courtship and nest-building to protecting eggs and raising chicks. It delves into the reasons why some species, such as the wattled jacana, rely on males to do all the childcare, while others, such as cuckoos and honeyguides, dump their eggs in the nests of others to raise. For some birds, reciprocal promiscuity pays off: both male and female dunnocks will rear the most chicks by mating with as many partners as possible. For others, long-term monogamy is the only way to ensure their offspring survive. The book explores the wide variety of ways birds make sure they find a mate in the first place, including how many male birds employ elaborate tactics to show how sexy they are. Gathering in leks to display to females, they dance, pose, or parade to sell their suitability as a mate. Other birds attract a partner with their building skills: female bowerbirds rate brains above beauty, so males construct elaborate bowers with twig avenues and cleared courtyards to impress them. Looking at the differing levels of parenting skills across species around the world, we see why a tenth of bird species, including the fairy-wrens of Australia, have helpers at the nest who forgo their own reproduction to assist the breeding pair; how brood parasites and their hosts have engaged in evolutionary arms races; and how monogamous pairs share—or relinquish—their responsibilities. Illustrated throughout with beautiful photographs, Bird Love is a celebration of the global diversity of avian reproductive strategies.
