Book excerpt: Though teenaged Angie lives in a small, wealthy town, she is poor. Deserted in birth by her mother, her father killed in war, she lives in a trailer with her ailing but loving Grandma. Though a gifted athlete, Angie's afraid to compete in her preppie school because she feels like she's "trailer trash." Just as she is threatened by a disliked aunt who has announced she will soon take Angie away to live with her and put Grandma in a facility, Angie meets a boy at school. Theo is brilliant, wealthy, but an awkward loner. His parents have time only for their country club and try buying him off with "things," while his schoolmates taunt him for his eccentric intelligence. His only friends are his computer and his bird, Speckles. As Angie and Theo form a unique bond as soulmates, they gain the courage to begin their journeys toward adulthood, resolving family problems and taking actions to utilize their talents.
Download or read book Elusive Birds of the Tropical Understory written by John P. Whitelaw and published by Comstock Publishing Associates. This book was released on 2022 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elusive Birds of the Tropical Understory is an arresting visual trip to the unseen corners of the Neotropical forest understory. Edited by John P. Whitelaw, Jeffrey D. Brawn, Henry S. Pollock, and John W. Fitzpatrick, this book combines unique images of tropical birds with inspired essays by leaders in the world of modern ornithology. With one-of-a-kind photos of seldom-documented birds, the authors use photography as a conservation tool. Many of the birds are more often heard than seen?not much is known about some of them, and much of what we do know is found in historical natural history literature, not contemporary accounts. Due to dense vegetation, low light conditions, and the birds' furtive behavior and cryptic coloring, they are notoriously difficult to photograph. Yet, Elusive Birds of the Tropical Understory delves deep into the Panamanian forest understory to show why these birds should be included in discussion of the current conservation crisis. What these species lack in bright colors they make up for in distinctive behaviors, subtle plumage patterns, and ongoing mystery. Elusive Birds of the Tropical Understory invites and inspires naturalists of all ages to take a closer look at a fascinating assemblage of overlooked birds.

Book excerpt: After some traumatic early life experiences, Dougal the black-and-white kitten falls on his paws into a loving home with two kind humans. Dougal decides to repay his humans' kindness by trying to be a Good Cat at all times. But when you have a little sister like Shadow, being good isn't as easy as it should be; because Shadow is an alley-cat who eats his food and loves rummaging in bins and stealing from neighbours' barbecues. And, although they don't know it, the kind humans are not in charge in this house. That role goes to the imperious old cat Belladonna, who does not take kindly to newcomers in her space. Dougal and Shadow's new home also has a large resident family of wattle-birds, and a supporting cast of neighbouring cats with agendas of their own; so the kittens must learn their place in the pecking order. Dougal's diplomatic skills will be tested to their limit as he tries to make sense of human and feline psychology. You can also catch up with Dougal, join his fanclub and get some pressies at his very own website http://www.dougalsdiary.com.au
