The Meaning of Birds
Author: Simon Barnes
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1681776952
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 403
Book Description
One of our most eloquent nature writers offers a passionate and informative celebration of birds and their ability to help us understand the world we live in. As well as exploring how birds achieve the miracle of flight; why birds sing; what they tell us about the seasons of the year and what their presence tells us about the places they inhabit, The Meaning of Birds muses on the uses of feathers, the drama of raptors, the slaughter of pheasants, the infidelities of geese, and the strangeness of feeling sentimental about blue tits while enjoying a chicken sandwich.From the mocking-birds of the Galapagos who guided Charles Darwin toward his evolutionary theory, to the changing patterns of migration that alert us to the reality of contemporary climate change, Simon Barnes explores both the intrinsic wonder of what it is to be a bird—and the myriad ways in which birds can help us understand the meaning of life.

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards. Through engaging anecdotes and inspired advice, profiles of home gardeners throughout the country, and interviews with scientists and horticulturalists, Lawson applies the broader lessons of ecology to our own outdoor spaces. Detailed chapters address planting for wildlife by choosing native species; providing habitats that shelter baby animals, as well as birds, bees, and butterflies; creating safe zones in the garden; cohabiting with creatures often regarded as pests; letting nature be your garden designer; and encouraging natural processes and evolution in the garden. The Humane Gardener fills a unique niche in describing simple principles for both attracting wildlife and peacefully resolving conflicts with all the creatures that share our world.

Pages : 186
Book Description
A great Wind Storm struck the Forrest Village but because all living quarters were built underground there was no loss of life. The Animal Facility was destroyed but some of the animals had survived the storm. "Come over here, Piebald said. You are welcome to live with us." Riflemen were hired to kill survivors of the Great Wind Storm. White Angel told the Riflemen it was against the law to shoot Forrest Animals. The Riflemen left and returned with leaflets saying-"NO TRESPASSING NO SHOOTING ALLOWED." The Village Animals were saved. Piebald taught The Villagers about The Great Creator. Pierre, a French mouse was visiting the area and heard about the Animal Village. He was impressed by the work of the Village Elders. Pierre invited Piebald to help him establish a Village in Paris, France. Piebald's youngsters persuaded their Da to let them go to France instead. Pierre taught them French and they taught Pierre to speak their Village language. Joseph and Mary, two Irish mice staying at the Paris Village heard the Piebald Storytellers teachings of the Creator God and they asked Pierre to help them fly from Paris to the Forrest Village. They wanted to return to Ireland and teach the Irish animals about the Great Creator. Joseph and Mary asked Piebald and Alpha to go with them. The book closes with the four mice on their way to Paris and then on to Ireland. Dr. Gordon J. Eaton is a Ph.D. Biologist. He graduated from Brown University, Providence, R.I. He completed a two-year post-doctoral research program at the University of California, Davis Campus. He investigated problems in developmental genetics and genetic diseases including Type II Diabetes and Immunological Diseases.
