Co-written by horsewoman Cindy McElrea and her eldest grandchild Madison Brant, Torey the Turtle Finds His Way is everything a good picture book should be. I love a happy ending!" Colleen Rutherford Archer, author. Deep River, Ontario, Canada. "Torey is a wonderfully delightful story with a sweet happy ending. This was a joy to read and I think we could all learn something from the characters in this tale. The illustrations were great and help the reader visualize what is happening. A true treasure!" Cindy Hotz, author and animal lover, Linden, MI "My son and I love the book Torey the Turtle Finds his way. What at great messages it provides; the love a child feels for their mother, finding comfort of missing a loved one through an Earthly connection, don't give up hope and keep trying, and wild things should be free. A wonderful book to add to your child's library. We are looking forward to reading more from Cindy and Maddy." Liz Hughey, author of the bestselling book, Barney the Lopsided Mule. "Cynthia McElrea has written a nice story about finding one's way home. While written for children, it can be relevant to life in general: you may be lost, but if you persevere, eventually you'll get home, sometimes with the help of someone you don't even know who cared enough to lend a helping hand. The artwork is wonderful, and is perfect for illustrating the story." Cheryl Pula, retired Reference and Research Librarian, upstate New York.

Download or read book Imperial Biologists written by Hideo Mohri and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-03-26 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sheds light on a little-known aspect of the Imperial family of Japan: For three generations, members of the family have devoted themselves to biological research. Emperor Showa (Hirohito) was an expert on hydrozoans and slime molds. His son, Emperor Akihito, is an ichthyologist specializing in gobioid fishes, and his research is highly respected in the field. Prince Akishino, Emperor Akihito’s son, is known for his research on giant catfish and the domestication of fowl, while Prince Hitachi, Emperor Akihito’s brother, has conducted research on cancer in animals. The book shows how they became interested in biology, how seriously they were committed to their research, what their main scientific contributions are, and how their achievements are valued by experts at home and abroad. To commemorate the 60-year reign of Emperor Showa and his longtime devotion to biology, the International Prize for Biology was founded in 1985. The prize seeks to recognize and encourage researches in basic biology. A list of winners and a summary of their research are presented in the last part of the book. The author, an eminent biologist who has given lectures to the Imperial Family, explains their research and tells the fascinating story of biology and the Imperial Family of Japan. The book is a valuable resource, not only for biology students and researchers, but also for historians and anyone interested in science and the Royal and Imperial families.

Download or read book Waiting for the Apocalypse A Memoir of Faith and Family written by Veronica Chater and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2009-02-02 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up Catholic in a family where the reforms of Vatican II are seen as the work of Satan. It is 1972, and Veronica Chater's parents believe that Vatican II's liberalization has corrupted the Catholic Church, inviting the Holy Chastisement—an apocalypse prophesied by three shepherds in Fatima, Portugal. To spare his family this horror, Veronica's father quits the highway patrol, sells everything, and moves the family of eight from California to an isolated village near Fatima. But Portugal is no Catholic utopia, and the family schleps home penniless to join the nascent Catholic counterrevolution: attending the Latin Mass in truck garages and abandoned buildings, serving meals to religious soldiers, breeding a new member of the faithful every year. As Veronica comes of age on the fringes of the American Dream, she rebels against a fanaticism that forbids anything modern—clothes, movies, or music. This is the story, both sad and funny, of a family torn apart by religion and brought back together in spite of the injuries it inflicted on itself.

Book excerpt: Donald Friend's legendary years in Bali in the 1960s and 1970s and his subsequent final decade in Australia are revealed in detail in this fourth and final volume of The Diaries of Donald Friend. In Bali he lives luxuriously, like a lorda even keeping his own gamelan orchestraa and becomes an international celebrity artist. He welcomes guests such as Mick Jagger and the Duke and Duchess of Bedford, entertains numerous other visitors who want to buy his paintings and drawings, and socialises freely with friends, including many other artists. He engages in significant building activity and property development while also producing superb illustrated manuscripts and books. And despite increasing ill-health, Friend continues to revel in his life's drama and creativity, remaining an eloquent, often charming and sometimes irascible companion. Including over 60 drawings from his diaries, many of them in colour, this volume confirms Friend's quicksilver creative brilliance and extraordinary insight. He is perhaps Australia's most important twentieth-century diarist.
