Download or read book Bear With Me My Deer Tails of a Virginia Wildlife Biologist written by David Kocka and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-06-10 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What exactly does a wildlife biologist for a state agency do? Contrary to many of his relative's perceptions, David Kocka is not a park ranger, a forest ranger, or even a game warden. Bear With Me, My Deer: Tails of a Virginia Wildlife Biologist is a glimpse into one man's adventures while working for an agency, which is responsible for managing the wildlife resources within its boundaries. The sometimes-humorous accounts have taken David to the top of a parking garage while chasing a black bear and to the middle of a college campus to extract a hormone-driven deer from a building. Although he has avoided news agencies as much as possible, one of his adventures was summarized in People Magazine. Most biologists have similar stories to share, but David in Bear With Me, My Deer: Tails of a Virginia Wildlife Biologist gives an account of his adventures in the field, documenting how they can occur any time, day or night. Humor is an important tool, which he yields almost as often as he uses his dart pistol. Through his thirty years as a wildlife biologist, David has met many interesting people too-and some have become lifelong friends. Set in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, these true stories enable the reader to enjoy each wildlife encounter and hopefully allow them to connect with the outdoors like never before.

Download or read book Murder at McDonald s written by Phonse Jessome and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2016-06-28 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true story of the Sydney River McDonald’s massacre, a botched robbery that would become the most sensational murder case in Canadian history. It started with a broken conveyor belt. When the mechanical malfunction brought eighteen-year-old McDonald’s employee Derek Wood into the restaurant’s back room, he saw the safe and got a dangerous idea. It would be so easy to prop the back door open, allowing two friends to sneak inside and steal the money. Wood assumed there was at least $200,000 in the cashbox—an incredible haul for just a few minutes’ work—but things would not go according to plan. The robbery went wrong from the start, and within minutes, a fast-food restaurant in the wilds of Nova Scotia was turned into a bloodbath. Wood and his accomplices attacked the employees, killing three instantly and leaving the fourth for dead. In the safe, where they had expected to find a fortune, there was barely $2,000. They fled the scene, instigating a manhunt that would captivate the nation. In the tradition of In Cold Blood and The Onion Field, this stunning work of true crime tells the story of the small-town murder that shocked a nation. Phonse Jessome brings a trained journalist’s eye to the case, which remains one of the most horrifying incidents of suburban violence in recent history.

Download or read book Unschooled written by Kerry McDonald and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education has become synonymous with schooling, but it doesn't have to be. As schooling becomes increasingly standardized and test driven, occupying more of childhood than ever before, parents and educators are questioning the role of schooling in society. Many are now exploring and creating alternatives. In a compelling narrative that introduces historical and contemporary research on self-directed education, Unschooled also spotlights how a diverse group of individuals and organizations are evolving an old schooling model of education. These innovators challenge the myth that children need to be taught in order to learn. They are parents who saw firsthand how schooling can dull children's natural curiosity and exuberance and others who decided early on to enable their children to learn without school. Educators who left public school classrooms discuss launching self-directed learning centers to allow young people's innate learning instincts to flourish, and entrepreneurs explore their disillusionment with the teach-and-test approach of traditional schooling.

Download or read book Never Saw Me Coming written by Tanya Smith and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2024-08-13 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A riveting true story of an unsuspecting woman who creates an ingeniously clever white-collar scheme that manipulates the Federal banking system out of millions—who eventually loses everything that is most important to her. In Never Saw Me Coming, Tanya Smith shares her deeply personal and remarkable story of how she went from a precocious young girl to a money-grabbing, computer-savvy wiz. It starts out as a keen interest in technology and innocently acquiring phone numbers to Michael Jackson, as well as other celebrities, and moves to her successfully stealing and depositing $5,000 into her grandmother’s banking account. By the time she is 18, the risk taker has confiscated millions in cash. The FBI is hot on her tail and hauls her in for an interview, demanding Smith let them know who she’s working for, “as these are not the kind of crimes Black people are smart enough to commit.” Their words, indicating that intelligence was determined by race, severely offended Smith. Up for the challenge, she proves the FBI wrong and over time steals $40 million dollars, while securing diamonds, gold bars, and other commodities. Her lifestyle attracts the wrong kind of people, even those who set out to kill her. Law enforcement persisted, ultimately dubbing Smith "one of the single biggest threats to the entire United States banking system." She receives an outrageous prison sentence—the longest for a white-collar offense—and is eventually released by mounting her own brilliant defense. Complete with unexpected twists and turns, Never Saw Me Coming is a gripping caper that reminds never to underestimate a woman.

Download or read book Agastya The Path written by Anuradha Gajaraj-Lopez and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-10-24 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This incredible book began when a little girl found a wooden statue of an ancient sage in a small hill town in southern India. Thirty years later, her father received direct experience from Sage Agastya, whose statue it was. During the next three years, the sage gave him great knowledge in classical Tamil as he sat in meditation. The girl's father gave voice to the knowledge flowing through him in the Tamil language, a mastery of which he did not posses. The girl's mother wrote it all down. The dictation happened without any interruption, research, or prior knowledge of the topic of the day. Soon people arrived and posed different questions and responses were received for questions spoken and unspoken. This book is a translation and transliteration of the original 'Agasthiyar Vazhipaadu'. Translated into easy English as 'Agastya, The Path', the book is literally the path forward for humanity as shown by Sage Agastya. It ushers in an incredible era defining the transition of mankind from material to higher consciousness through the words of this ancient Vedic sage. It is an era where cosmic knowledge is available to all that open their hearts and mind in true devotion. Boldly crossing the realms of scientific limitations, this book is a harbinger of the immense possibilities of that latent power that awaits within each of us. Karma, black magic, creation, death, birth, liberation, guru-disciple relationship, cause of suffering, all these topics are dealt with in the inimitable literary style of this ancient sage. Ample use of play of words, comparisons, and an easy iteration on profound topics in lyrical form reflect his earlier works. While there are several theories and legends regarding the birth of the sage himself in Indian literature, the sage reveals his true origin in this book. In addition to this, those interested in deeper understanding of Hindu rituals like Agnihotram, Kalasa puja will find the inner meaning of these rituals through the sage's explanations. This extensive text written in the style of ancient sacred texts is a beautiful blend of verse and prose, and includes beautiful hymns composed by Agastya.
