Download or read book The Bird written by Colin Tudge and published by Crown. This book was released on 2010-09-07 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: • How are birds so good at flying and navigating? • Why are birds so like mammals– and yet so very different? • Did birds descend from dinosaurs, and if so, does that mean birds are dinosaurs? • How do they court each other and fend off rivals? • What' s being communicated in birdsong? • Can we ever know how birds think? In this fascinating exploration of the avian class, Colin Tudge considers the creatures of the air. From their evolutionary roots to their flying, feeding, fighting, mating, nesting, and communicating, Tudge provocatively ponders what birds actually do–as well as why they do it and how. With the same curiosity, passion, and insight he brought to redwoods, pines, and palm trees in his widely acclaimed book The Tree, Tudge here studies sparrows, parrots, and even the Monkey-eating Eagle to better understand their world–and our own. There is far more to a bird's existence than gliding gracefully on air currents or chirping sweetly from fence posts–the stakes are life and death. By observing and explaining the complex strategy that comes into play with everything from migration to social interaction to the timing of giving birth to young, Tudge reveals how birds are uniquely equipped biologically to succeed and survive. And he offers an impassioned plea for humans to learn to coexist with birds without continuing to endanger their survival. Complete with an "annotated cast list" of all the known birds in the world– plus gorgeous illustrations–The Bird is a comprehensive and delightfully accessible guide for everyone from dedicated birders to casual birdwatchers that celebrates and illuminates the remarkable lives of birds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than three decades, author, speaker, and entrepreneur Merrick Rosenberg has taught America’s leading corporations how to embrace the power of personality. By replacing the alphabet soup found in personality assessments with four birds – the Eagle, Parrot, Dove, and Owl – Rosenberg has helped people understand themselves and transform their relationships with colleagues, friends, and family members. Parents and teachers have long asked: Can you teach the birds to our children? From the author of Personality Wins, The Chameleon, and Taking Flight! comes the long-awaited book for children: Which Bird Are You? Young readers join 5th graders of Galen Elementary School at Camp Discovery for adventures (and misadventures) under the guidance of their teachers, Ms. Allport and Mr. Marston. By day, the students try to overcome their personality differences to complete Ms. Allport’s team building challenges. By night, Mr. Marston tells The Bird Tale, a fantasy adventure that follows four emissaries from the Eagle, Parrot, Dove, and Owl kingdoms of Aviara. Their world faces disaster, but they are unsure of how to work together against their collective threats. The emissaries seek out the wise Chameleon Ambassador in hopes that she can teach them how to unite and save their people. Through a wild ride in Aviara and Camp Discovery, Which Bird Are You? prepares children for the lifelong journey of interacting with different personalities. Young readers learn to understand their bird style, its strengths and challenges, and the risks of overusing their personality. They also discover how to identify the bird styles of others and treat people the way they want to be treated. Will the emissaries save Aviara? Will the students learn to work together? If they can master the four questions of the Chameleon Code, they might just save the day and win it all.

Book excerpt: As a C-141 bounces around in the turbulent atmosphere above Kadena Air Force Base, no one on board—including Tech Sergeant Dominic Torelli—ever imagines what will happen next. As the plane approaches the runway, an air traffic controller sees something on his radar screen. Just as Staff Sergeant Asa Williams yanks his headphones off, his screen lights up. The C-141 and a general’s plane have just collided in midair. As Asa is left trying to explain why he is not responsible for the horrifying accident, Dom is left in a hospital recovering from critical injuries. The repercussions of the crash are great for both men: Asa is grounded as an air traffic controller and Dom is scarred for life. As fate leads both men to meet, become friends, and begin a Vietnam tour together, Dom faces yet more personal challenges as Asa struggles to learn a new job. While Dom is led on a journey of self-discovery where he must try to distinguish between reality and fantasy, Asa uncovers the truth about his unexplainable connection to Dom. In this military novel, two Vietnam soldiers who bravely face tragedies must survive not only the war, but also the subsequent emotions in order to find redemption and peace.
