Download or read book Starlings and Mynas written by Adrian Craig and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2010-09-30 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive illustrated guide to the Old World family of birds in the Helm Identification series. Starlings range from familiar species such as Common Starling and Common Myna, which are closely associated with people and have been introduced to many parts of the world, to little-known forest birds with a very restricted distribution. The family is centred on tropical Asia and tropical Africa, where two separate evolutionary radiations have occurred. This is the first monograph on the starling family, and summarises the current knowledge of all speices, with a comprehensive bibliography. Information from the avicultural literature is included since for some species nesting and other behaviour have never been observed in the field. Many starlings are highly social, some even nest in colonies, and cooperative breeding ('helpers at the nest') occurs in a number of African species highlights areas where information is lacking, particularly for those starlings whose existence is threatened by habitat destruction.

Book excerpt: Colorado 1899 Kate Ryan has always had a streak of justice in her. When she decides to apply to the Pinkerton Detective Agency, nothing will stand in her way. Initially hired in a clerical position, she quickly works her way up to field agent with the help of her mentor, Louise Foster. When Louise is injured, Kate gets her first assignment and the opportunity of a lifetime. Henry Maguire has been undercover in the household of wealthy entrepreneur Arthur Wingate. Employed as a ghostwriter to pen the man’s memoir, Henry is also searching for clues to a lucrative counterfeiting scheme. When Henry’s “wife” shows up, he’s taken aback by the attractive woman who isn’t Louise. Now he must work with a female agent he doesn’t know and doesn’t necessarily trust. And because he has another reason for coming into Wingate’s world, Kate Ryan is unavoidably in his way. The Starling features a fake marriage, mystery, adventure, and romance with light steam. Kate Ryan is the daughter of Matt and Molly from The Wren. The Starling is the first of five novels featuring the second generation of Ryans in the Wings of the West series. Although it’s Book 8 in the Wings series, it can most definitely be read as a standalone. While the series has interconnecting characters, each novel can be read as a standalone Book One: The Wren Book Two: The Dove Book Three: The Sparrow Book Four: The Blackbird Book Five: The Bluebird Book Six: The Songbird (Novella) Book Seven: Echo of the Plains (Short Story) Book Eight: The Starling Book Nine: The Canary Book Ten: The Nighthawk Book Eleven: The Swan (Coming Soon)
