Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1986. 21 year old Maggie is desperate to escape her violent partner. Damaged mentally and physically by Adam, she has reached her lowest point when she stumbles upon a medieval house, Langley Manor. She finds herself drawn to the ancient site and experiences both the frightening voices of people she cannot see, but also a soothing comfort she has never felt before. Soon after, quite by chance, she is given the opportunity to escape Adam and finds herself working and living at Langley. It seems fate is playing a helpful hand. But Maggie soon discovers that malice can surface anywhere as her intimidating boss threatens her new life, and her already fragile mind is tested to the limit when she starts to see visions of a strange man in and around her new home, Keeper’s Cottage. Believing that she is being haunted by a ghost, Maggie and her new friend Anne, research the history of Keeper’s Cottage and when the identity of the man is discovered, Maggie thinks the mystery is solved. But her journey to find an incredible truth is just beginning; a discovery linking past to present that will give Maggie the courage to face her fear of people and of life itself.
Download or read book Herons Egrets and Bitterns written by Neil McKilligan and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2005-03-02 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to deal exclusively with the Australian members of the Family Ardeidae (herons, egrets and bitterns). It gives a comprehensive, easy-to-read account of their origins, classification and biology, and explains the features that distinguish them from other birds. The book devotes a major chapter to the 14 Australian species, covering their distribution and movements, feeding, breeding, population dynamics and conservation. Some of Australia’s herons have become very scarce in the southern half of the continent and are at risk of national or local extinction. In northern Australia heron habitats and resources are largely pristine and consequently this region accommodates large numbers of certain species. A final chapter on population and conservation provides a useful summary of the present status of the Australian herons, some of whom are thriving and others who are in a very precarious position.

Download or read book John Gould s Extinct and Endangered Birds of Australia written by Sue Taylor and published by National Library Australia. This book was released on 2012 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1838, John Gould, the 'father of Australian ornithology' visited Australia with the intention of gathering material for his great work on Australian birds. In the resulting publication, The Birds of Australia: In Seven Volumes (1848), and the accompanying Supplement (1869), Gould named, for the first time, no fewer than 32 Australian bird species. Gould's words about the Norfolk Island Kaka were prophetic-the last bird of its kind died in a cage in London in 1851. Since then, a number of other species illustrated in The Birds of Australia have become extinct and others are now facing extinction. John Gould's Extinct and Endangered Birds of Australia features 59 plates of birds from Gould's eight-volume work, birds that today are threatened or that no longer exist. Featuring exquisite full-colour lithographs reproduced from the National Library of Australia's copy of The Birds of Australia, this book gives an insight into the history of each bird's European discovery, as well as its subsequent fortunes or misfortunes.
