They beautifully touched the life of my sister Tina and others around her. This book is an attempt to take you all through a heartfelt and wonderful journey of dogs and birds. It is based on true incidents in the lives of dogs and birds. All the dog and bird lovers around the world will enjoy reading this heartfelt story. My sister Tina has been very close to stray dogs, animals and birds. She has been my inspiration to write this book. Tina's job took her around places that were countryside, giving her the great opportunity to connect with several stray dogs, animals and birds. I would frequently call my sister Tina about her work and the city she was visiting. Often on the phone, she would mention incidents of stray dogs and birds. There would always be a story or an incident that she would have to share. I started to love listening to her stories and was intrigued by her love and care for these stray living beings. Soon enough, it almost became one of the major parts of our phone conversations. One of the primary reasons for me enjoying her narration was that she has this incredible ability to tell a story. Listening to her narrations, one would start visualizing the whole incident. Her stories were so beautiful that they, in a way, inspired my trip to India. When I was visiting her, I had the opportunity to connect with all these stray dogs and birds. I had some wonderful memorable incidents during my stay. This trip and the wonderful narrations from my sister inspired me to write this book. Most of the times when people are dog lovers, they usually tend to have a pet dog. This has not been the case for my sister Tina. Tina's circumstances prevented her from keeping pets. In a way, this gave her the beautiful opportunity to connect with several stray dogs as she traveled to different places. Encounters with stray dogs during her journey will hopefully give some invaluable insights to all readers.

Nobody knows who’s sending them – and nobody knows who’s going to be their next victim… The orbs are attacking, and their deranged, supernatural music is unravelling minds, hurling people over the edge and down into insanity. Folk singer Michaela Lockhart doesn’t understand her uneasy relationship with the orbs but it seems to be protecting her – until one day she finds out just how wrong she’s been about that. She has no choice but to flee into the wild, dangerous and empty countryside beyond Brighton where she discovers how deeply mired in the horror she really is. She’s forced to confront astonishing secrets about herself and her music that propel her headlong into a conflict with an ancient and unstoppably powerful entity. Saving humanity is all well and good; but for Micky, it’s personal…

Download or read book Silence of the Songbirds written by Bridget Stutchbury and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-05-26 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wood thrush, Kentucky warbler, the Eastern kingbird-migratory songbirds are disappearing at a frightening rate. By some estimates, we may already have lost almost half of the songbirds that filled the skies only forty years ago. Renowned biologist Bridget Stutchbury convincingly argues that songbirds truly are the "canaries in the coal mine"-except the coal mine looks a lot like Earth and we are the hapless excavators. Following the birds on their six-thousand-mile migratory journey, Stutchbury leads us on an ecological field trip to explore firsthand the major threats to songbirds: pesticides, still a major concern decades after Rachel Carson first raised the alarm; the destruction of vital habitat, from the boreal forests of Canada to the diminishing continuous forests of the United States to the grasslands of Argentina; coffee plantations, which push birds out of their forest refuges so we can have our morning fix; the bright lights and structures in our cities, which prove a minefield for migrating birds; and global warming. We could well wake up in the near future and hear no songbirds singing. But we won't just be missing their cheery calls, we'll be missing a vital part of our ecosystem. Without songbirds, our forests would face uncontrolled insect infestations, and our trees, flowers, and gardens would lose a crucial element in their reproductive cycle. As Stutchbury shows, saving songbirds means protecting our ecosystem and ultimately ourselves.

Download or read book Cat Wars written by Peter P. Marra and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-20 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why our cats are a danger to species diversity and human health In 1894, a lighthouse keeper named David Lyall arrived on Stephens Island off New Zealand with a cat named Tibbles. In just over a year, the Stephens Island Wren, a rare bird endemic to the island, was rendered extinct. Mounting scientific evidence confirms what many conservationists have suspected for some time—that in the United States alone, free-ranging cats are killing birds and other animals by the billions. Equally alarming are the little-known but potentially devastating public health consequences of rabies and parasitic Toxoplasma passing from cats to humans at rising rates. Cat Wars tells the story of the threats free-ranging cats pose to biodiversity and public health throughout the world, and sheds new light on the controversies surrounding the management of the explosion of these cat populations. This compelling book traces the historical and cultural ties between humans and cats from early domestication to the current boom in pet ownership, along the way accessibly explaining the science of extinction, population modeling, and feline diseases. It charts the developments that have led to our present impasse—from Stan Temple's breakthrough studies on cat predation in Wisconsin to cat-eradication programs underway in Australia today. It describes how a small but vocal minority of cat advocates has campaigned successfully for no action in much the same way that special interest groups have stymied attempts to curtail smoking and climate change. Cat Wars paints a revealing picture of a complex global problem—and proposes solutions that foresee a time when wildlife and humans are no longer vulnerable to the impacts of free-ranging cats.

The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able to outcharm, outwit, and outmaneuver his fellow students to mentor the winning tribute. The odds are against him. He's been given the humiliating assignment of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest of the low. Their fates are now completely intertwined - every choice Coriolanus makes could lead to favor or failure, triumph or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death. Outside the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed tribute . . . and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire to survive no matter what it takes.
