Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The charming story of how a wildlife enthusiast designed and planted a wildflower meadow. Meadows support large populations of plants, insects, birds and other animals, and are extremely important in maintaining the ecological diversity of our countryside. Many of the species that farmers and gardeners consider to be weeds, such as the oxeye daisy, are actually host to numerous other forms of wildlife. Inspired by the idea of doing something positive for their local environment, Yvette Verner and her husband Mike bought a small field close to their home in the south of England. With the bountiful assistance of nature they created a beautiful wildflower meadow, which now attracts a wide variety of wildlife, including badgers, deer and a multitude of birds and butterflies. In We Made a Wildflower Meadow, Yvette tells the heart-warming story of how they designed the layout of their meadow, and then selected and planted wild flowers, trees and hedges. Filled with practical advice, this delightful read also describes the many benefits to creating a space dedicated to helping the environment and wildlife-watching. Join Yvette and Mike on their journey, and delight in the wonders of supporting these important wildlife habitats.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'Among Giants: The Nephilim's Saga The ancient giants called Nephilim fight epic battles with scary dinosaurs. They use their strength and smarts to change the direction of Earth's prehistoric history, even though the odds were against them. . In Summary: Long before humans lived, there was a race called the Nephilim that was very big and very powerful. With unmatched strength, knowledge, and a strong bond to the land, these prehistoric giants set out on a dangerous but educational trip. They found the strong dinosaurs that ruled the ancient world in the middle of a busy world. The Nephilim were incredibly strong, and these scary monsters were also very strong, so they got into great battles. But the Nephilim didn't just win by force; their intelligence, cunning, and unwavering bravery were also very important in getting past the dinosaurs that were fighting them. The Nephilim were more than just the fights they were in, though. They had to deal with the problems that come with living together in a world that was always changing while they were on their journey. Starting in the beautiful Valley of Beginnings and going on to interesting and dangerous places, the Nephilim's journey was both about learning and excitement and about staying alive and fighting. They knew how important it was to keep the natural balance and knew that they were responsible for the land and all the people who lived on it. The Nephilim made connections that changed the path of their trip. They fought and beat old enemies and found allies in the strangest places. These partnerships, based on mutual respect and a clear goal, showed how important it is to work together to deal with doubt. The Nephilim's history shows how much of an impact they had on the world in ancient times, as well as the places they took over and expanded into. Their journey showed the next generation the values they taught them, such as courage, unity, and respect for all living things. As guardians of the world, they left behind a legacy that would become many stories and legends. They did this by protecting the beauty and harmony of their surroundings. So, even though the Nephilim story takes place in a time of giants and dinosaurs, it still talks about ideals like bravery, knowledge, and caring for the environment. This story explores ancient history and shows the unwavering resolve of those who want to live in harmony with nature and all its living things. Chapter 1: The Beginning The Nephilim are a group of giant creatures that lived on a world very different from ours. These giants were looking for a place to live that was peaceful and happy. They found something truly amazing at the end of a long and difficult trip. The valley was very green and beautiful, and it looked like it was sparkling in the sun. It looked like a live work of art in this area, which became known as the Valley of Beginnings. The Valley of Beginnings wasn't like other places. You could see life everywhere. The giants were dwarfed by trees whose bright leaves looked like they were dancing in the wind. There were flowers on the ground in every color you can think of, and they smelled so good. Beautiful, clear streams of water ran through the landscape, and their soft babble made a relaxing sound. The sky was mostly pink and blue, with fluffy clouds floating by without any thought. The Nephilim were amazed by this valley. They had never seen a place with so much life and beauty. It looked like the valley was welcoming them and telling them they could live there. So, they chose to do the right thing. They saw the valley as more than just a place to live. It was a sign of a fresh start and the chance to live a peaceful, happy life. As they got to know their new home, they saw that the valley was home to many different kinds of animals. The birds with feathers of every color could be heard by the giants. The breeze made the butterfly wings whisper sweetly as they flew from flower to flower. In the streams, fish of all shapes and sizes swam through the water. Their scales sparkled like diamonds. The Nephilim saw that there were other people living in the valley with them. But the animals that lived in the valley with the giants caught them off guard. The valley was home to dinosaurs whose standards were as high as the Nephilim's. It was full of dangerous predators whose roars could be heard all over the sky and peaceful giants who ate in the trees. Still, this valley was peaceful and harmonious, which helped everyone who lived there do well. The Nephilim knew that their new home in the Valley of Beginnings would be hard. Having such beautiful wildlife around taught me how to get along with all living things and keep the natural balance. But as a family, they were ready to deal with these problems together. They found a valley that was more than just a place to live; it was a land full of endless potential where their souls could soar. In this way, the Valley of Beginnings was the center of the new universe the Nephilim created. There was magic and beauty there, as well as obstacles and exciting things to do. It reminded me that you can find a fresh start and the chance to live a peaceful, happy life even in the most unlikely places. People called Nephilim found themselves in the Valley of Beginnings and made a home there. Chapter 2: The First Meeting The Nephilim, who are gentle giants, moved into the Valley of Beginnings one sunny day. That same day, something strange happened. As they walked through the huge, beautiful valley and enjoyed the sights and sounds of this peaceful place, their journey took an unexpected turn. Even the Nephilim, who are giants, were shocked when something so big and strong came out of the woods. The Tyrannosaurus Rex was one of the scariest monsters ever. The T. Rex was a scary animal with huge, sharp teeth and a roar that could shake the ground. When Rex came out in front of the Nephilim, it was the first time the giants had seen such a strong hunter. It was clear that people around them were feeling uneasy. T and the Nephilim saw a split second of time. Rex carefully looked at each other, their eyes locked in a silent battle for power. The Nephilim were known for not being afraid of anything and being strong, so they weren't easily scared. Still, the T could see. They knew that the quiet in the valley wasn't as stable as they thought it was because of Rex's stern look and commanding presence. There was more to this fight than just two giants going at it. It was a sign of things to come and a warning that they lived in a world with other huge, strong beings. When the Nephilim came to the Valley of Beginnings, they wanted to start a peaceful life away from the wars that had ruined their past. They were amazed by how beautiful the valley was, how green it was, and how many living things there were. They saw it as a safe place to live where they could get along with nature and the people who lived there. However, the T's sudden arrival. Rex was very interested in a new world. Even though the valley was peaceful and beautiful, it was also a place where life depended on each other. All living things, big and small, had an important part to play in the delicate cycle of life. Getting in touch with T. The Nephilim saw rex as a sign of good things to come. It was a note to tell them that the Valley of Beginnings would have problems. They would have to figure out how to live in this strange new place, how to get along with the other people that lived there, and how to become part of the huge web of life that was there. The valley wasn't just a pretty place; it was a live, breathing universe full of wonders and dangers. It's the same T. The air became less tense as Rex turned around and disappeared back into the bush. The Nephilim were left to think about what had happened since they now knew how important balance was in their new home. They were aware that their presence had changed the way the valley worked, and they would have to be careful to respect the people who had lived here before them. The first time I met the T. The time of Rex was very important for the Nephilim. The sight made them think about their place in the world and how powerful and beautiful nature is. It set the stage for future meetings, learning and growing, and the rise of a way of life that respected the worth and power of all living things, no matter how big or small. The Nephilim had found a home in the Valley of Beginnings, which was full of tall trees and lush grass. But they had also found a lively world that they would have to learn about and respect in order to live together peacefully.

Download or read book Green Meadow Stories written by Thornton W. Burgess and published by Standard Ebooks. This book was released on 2020-08-21T00:14:14Z with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thornton W. Burgess was an American naturalist and the author of dozens of books for children, the most enduring of which are Old Mother West Wind and The Burgess Bird Book for Children. Burgess was a passionate twentieth-century conservationist who dedicated his life to teaching children and their families about the importance of the natural life of the northern North American forest. The Green Meadow Stories compilation is made up of four distinct but entwined tales: those of Happy Jack Squirrel, Mrs. Peter Rabbit, Bowser the Hound, and Old Granny Fox. Through the adventures of these focal characters readers are introduced to the wider territory of the Green Meadows, the Green Forest, and the Smiling Pond as well as to the animals’ Great World. The animals of Burgess’s stories are anthropomorphized, undoubtedly, but not caricatured: these are not the twee creatures of Disney cartoons. Their behaviour is explained in ways that would be understandable to a human child—this is fiction, after all—but Burgess’s “little people of the forest” are not simply humans dressed in fur and feathers. The original illustrations in Burgess’s books (by Harrison Cady, not reproduced in this edition) show the animals wearing clothes, but Burgess’s own descriptions of animals are more natural and metaphorical, and less fantastic. For example, he describes Chatterer the Red Squirrel, “who always wears a red coat with vest of white,” a compact way of communicating the look of a squirrel that many of today’s children will never have seen with their own eyes. Less pleasantly, it is Peter Rabbit’s fur and flesh that is rent when Hooty the Owl tears Peter’s “coat” one night on the Old Pasture. Burgess has tremendous respect for the creatures he depicts, as well as for their natural home. While the presentation of the Green Meadow is hardly “Nature, red in tooth and claw,” it is surprisingly unsentimental. Peter Rabbit, for example, lives a highly anxious life under threat from the many predators who would enjoy having him for dinner; similarly, Happy Jack Squirrel experiences days and nights of terror when Shadow the Weasel discovers Happy Jack’s home and hunts him relentlessly. During a long, hard winter, Granny Fox and Reddy Fox come close to starving, and Old Man Coyote leads Bowser the Hound on a dangerous chase that may result in one or the other dying. Despite other fanciful, sentimental elements of storytelling, Burgess does not sugarcoat prey/predator relationships or the precarity of wild animals’ lives. Burgess is a clear conservationist in his representations of hunting. The animals are highly aware of hunters and their “dreadful guns.” It is a notable moment in this collection when Farmer Brown’s Boy decides he will no longer use his gun to harm the little people of the Green Meadow and the Green Forest. The stories are also notable in their detailed representation of a largely intact forest, something few children in the twenty-first century will experience. On the other hand, these are books for children, and they contain plenty of sweetness and light. Animal pairings—such as when Peter Rabbit meets the dainty Little Miss Fuzzytail, the future Mrs. Rabbit—are vague but sentimental and soon lead to proud new families of Rabbits, Ducks, Deer, and Owls. The “little people” celebrate the arrival of each spring’s babies, mark each other’s new relationships and homes, play together, and even help each other survive. They laugh, tease, and trick each other—a fanciful interpretation of animal behaviour that could lead to a reader’s life-long fascination with, and respect for, forest creatures—and for generations of readers, they did just that. The stories are also more didactic than most twenty-first-century authors would dare to be. There are morals associated with most stories, often attributed to the animal about whom the story is being told. Through this practical teaching, Burgess suggests a correspondence between how animals and humans live; but he consistently clarifies that animal intelligence is different from, but certainly no less than, human intelligence. Unlike the bouncy rhyming verses of many of today’s children’s books, Burgess’s sentences have a somewhat old-fashioned cadence, creating the distinct and appealing music of traditional storytelling. Burgess’s episodic chapters are eminently readable and particularly come to life when they are voiced by animated reading-aloud. For older readers looking for something different to share with children, or for new readers beginning to tackle “chapter books,” the tales of the Green Meadow Stories collection are a delightful place to discover Burgess and his animal friends. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.
