After the dogs in the ring and gallery yelp in dismay, a brave Bulldog chases the puppy, rescues the rosette, and returns it to the judge. But there is no question that the puppy has stolen the show. Back in the grooming tent, the show dogs complain. Sick of the travel, the food, and their crates, Bloodhound, Poodle, Kerry Blue, Boxer, Springer, Corgi, and Yorkie devise an escape plan. After the dogs sneak off in the night to begin a seaside vacation, they have no idea that their group has grown by one. As they travel by boat, train, plane, and an old woody convertible, the dogs learn about the importance of cooperation, competition, and ultimately, friendship. In this fanciful children's tale, a group of show dogs embarks on an adventure that takes them on trains, boats, planes, and cars and leads them from windmills to beaches to a haunted house, as they discover what it truly means to be champions.

Download or read book Sea Room written by Adam Nicolson and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2007-08-14 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1937, Adam Nicolson's father answered a newspaper ad—"Uninhabited islands for sale. Outer Hebrides, 600 acres. . . . Puffins and seals. Apply."—and thus found the Shiants. With a name meaning "holy or enchanted islands," the Shiants for millennia were a haven for those seeking solitude, but their rich, sometimes violent history of human habitation includes much more. When he was twenty-one, Nicolson inherited this almost indescribably beautiful property: a landscape, soaked in centuries-old tales of restless ghosts and Bronze Age gold, that cradles the heritage of a once-vibrant world of farmers and fishermen. In Sea Room, Nicolson describes and relives his love affair with the three tiny islands and their strange and colorful history in passionate, keenly precise prose—sharing with us the greatest gift an island bestows on its inhabitants: a deep engagement with the natural world.

Download or read book The Rising Sea written by Orrin H. Pilkey and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2010-04-16 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Shishmaref Island in Alaska, homes are being washed into the sea. In the South Pacific, small island nations face annihilation by encroaching waters. In coastal Louisiana, an area the size of a football field disappears every day. For these communities, sea level rise isn’t a distant, abstract fear: it’s happening now and it’s threatening their way of life. In The Rising Sea, Orrin H. Pilkey and Rob Young warn that many other coastal areas may be close behind. Prominent scientists predict that the oceans may rise by as much as seven feet in the next hundred years. That means coastal cities will be forced to construct dikes and seawalls or to move buildings, roads, pipelines, and railroads to avert inundation and destruction. The question is no longer whether climate change is causing the oceans to swell, but by how much and how quickly. Pilkey and Young deftly guide readers through the science, explaining the facts and debunking the claims of industry-sponsored “skeptics.” They also explore the consequences for fish, wildlife—and people. While rising seas are now inevitable, we are far from helpless. By making hard choices—including uprooting citizens, changing where and how we build, and developing a coordinated national response—we can save property, and ultimately lives. With unassailable research and practical insights, The Rising Sea is a critical first step in understanding the threat and keeping our heads above water.
