Download or read book Call out the Dolphins written by Chris S. Buckley and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2020-01-13 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is likened to a department store elevator, wherein you are the operator. Twenty three floors on which to stop, to browse, and you with all the time in the world. Wherever shall you begin? The beginning is always a good place to begin. Our beginning concerns a gullible youth’s first encounter with religious idiocy. Perhaps you’re more in the mood to find out how a chicken or chickens can bring about far reaching affirmations. Consider a brief stopover for some truth in advertising. The class of ‘68, fraught with its political assassinations, demonstrations and opportunism may amuse you. Or maybe the continuing adventures of a sperm donor? Just a few floors up is procrastination, justified, at long last! Something for everyone, from burning pictures, to the freedom of the road; for the less inhibited, there’s even an adult fairy tale. The door slides open again, finds you face to face with Louise May and Memphis Minnie. Did those two ever really meet? Eventually, as you race toward the clouds, you may discover the connection between dolphins and world peace. Have a safe ride, though do be wary, the “emergency stop” button, not unlike your neighborhood’s posted speed limit, is for amusement only.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this memorable first book, Behind the Dolphin Smile, Richard O'Barry told the inspiring story of his personal transformation from world-famous dolphin trainer (Flipper was his pupil) to dolphin liberator. Now, in To Free a Dolphin, he passionately recounts the dramatic story of his heart-breaking campaign to release captive dolphins back into the wild. With wit and insight he chronicles the extreme opposition he has faced from bureaucrats, major players in the captive-dolphin industry, rival wildlife groups, and well-meaning sentimentalists.

And, most fascinating, he describes his struggles to deprogram and rehabilitate dolphins emotionally scarred from years of captivity--struggles that become battles for the animals' souls.

Download or read book Island of the Blue Dolphins written by Scott O'Dell and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 1960 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Far off the coast of California looms a harsh rock known as the island of San Nicholas. Dolphins flash in the blue waters around it, sea otter play in the vast kep beds, and sea elephants loll on the stony beaches. Here, in the early 1800s, according to history, an Indian girl spent eighteen years alone, and this beautifully written novel is her story. It is a romantic adventure filled with drama and heartache, for not only was mere subsistence on so desolate a spot a near miracle, but Karana had to contend with the ferocious pack of wild dogs that had killed her younger brother, constantly guard against the Aleutian sea otter hunters, and maintain a precarious food supply. More than this, it is an adventure of the spirit that will haunt the reader long after the book has been put down. Karana's quiet courage, her Indian self-reliance and acceptance of fate, transform what to many would have been a devastating ordeal into an uplifting experience. From loneliness and terror come strength and serenity in this Newbery Medal-winning classic.

He's definitely on the autism spectrum -- though her step-father, Don, can barely bring himself to admit it -- and caring for him has forced Lily to become as much mother as sister. All Lily wants is for her step-father to acknowledge that Adam has a real issue, that they need to find some kind of program that can help him. Then maybe she can have a life of her own. Adam's always loved dolphins, so when Don, an oncologist, hears about a young dolphin with cancer, he offers to help. He brings Lily and Adam along, and Adam and the dolphin -- Nori -- bond instantly. But though Lily sees how much Adam loves Nori, she also sees that the dolphin shouldn't spend the rest of her life in captivity, away from her family. Can Adam find real help somewhere else? And can Lily help Nori regain her freedom without betraying her family?
