Download or read book What Do Monsters Do Tonight written by Donna Daniels and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009-03 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many years ago, when my daughter was just a small child, the nightly ritual started at least 30 minutes before bedtime. To calm her worries that there were "monsters" in her room, I would check every place in the room that they could hide-in the closet, in the toybox, under the bed, etc. to show her there were no monsters. Finally, one day after a long hard day of being a mom I just agreed with her that there are monsters but they couldn't possibly come to her room that night because they were too busy doing their own things and living their own lives. It worked!! The ritual went from checking to see if they were there, to a simple question as I tucked her in. "Mommy, what do monsters do tonight?" Thus was born the book of the same title. Told in verse with vivid, adorable illustrations, the 'ritual' has become a tradition in our family and I hope it will in yours as well.

Download or read book Biology of Gila Monsters and Beaded Lizards written by Daniel D. Beck and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2005-07-25 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No two lizard species have spawned as much folklore, wonder, and myth as the Gila Monster, Heloderma suspectum, and the Beaded Lizard, H. horridum—the sole survivors of an ancient group of predacious lizards called the Monstersauria. More like snakes on legs, monstersaurs are a walking contradiction: they are venomous yet don't appear to use their venom for subduing prey; their mottled patterns mingle with the broken shadows and textures of their desert and tropical dry forest habitats, yet their bright open mouths hiss a bold warning that a nasty bite awaits those who advance further. And while Gila Monster venom produces excruciating pain, it also contains a peptide that has become a promising new drug for treating type-2 diabetes. Perhaps the ultimate paradox is that monstersaurs are among the most famous of lizards, yet until quite recently they have remained among the least studied. With numerous illustrations, stunning color photographs, and an up-to-date synthesis of their biology, this book explains why the Monstersauria seems poised to change the way we think about lizards. Daniel D. Beck—who has been investigating Gila Monsters and Beaded Lizards for over 22 years—teams up here with award-winning wildlife photographer Tom Wiewandt to produce a comprehensive summary of this small but remarkable family of lizards.

Download or read book Good White People written by Shannon Sullivan and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2014-05-15 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Argues for the necessity of a new ethos for middle-class white anti-racism. Building on her book Revealing Whiteness, Shannon Sullivan identifies a constellation of attitudes common among well-meaning white liberals that she sums up as white middle-class goodness, an orientation she critiques for being more concerned with establishing anti-racist bona fides than with confronting systematic racism and privilege. Sullivan untangles the complex relationships between class and race in contemporary white identity and outlines four ways this orientation is expressed, each serving to establish ones lack of racism: the denigration of lower-class white people as responsible for ongoing white racism, the demonization of antebellum slaveholders, an emphasis on colorblindnessespecially in the context of white childrearingand the cultivation of attitudes of white guilt, shame, and betrayal. To move beyond these distancing strategies, Sullivan argues, white people need a new ethos that acknowledges and transforms their whiteness in the pursuit of racial justice rather than seeking a self-righteous distance from it.
