Book Description
Welcome, dear reader, to the enchanting world of Dodo Returns, a delightful children’s book by the imaginative Dandy Ahuruonye. Prepare to embark on a whimsical journey that promises to tickle your fancy and ignite your sense of wonder. This is not just a story; it’s an adventure that flutters on the wings of creativity and soars into the realms of the extraordinary. Imagine, if you will, a time long ago when the dodo, a charming and curious bird, roamed the idyllic island of Mauritius. The dodo, with its plump body and endearing waddle, was a creature of pure joy, untroubled by predators and content with its simple life of munching on fruits and nuts. Alas, the dodo’s tale took a tragic turn, and it vanished into the annals of history, leaving behind only whispers of its existence. But what if the dodo could return? What if, through the marvels of modern science and the boundless imagination of a young boy named Nakike, the dodo could once again grace our world? Enter Dodo Returns, a tale that bridges the gap between the past and the present, the real and the fantastical. Nakike, a boy with a heart full of dreams and a mind brimming with curiosity, embarks on a secret project that defies the ordinary. In his hidden laboratory, he breathes life into a new dodo, a creature not just of feathers and bones, but of vibrant colours and melodious tunes. This is no ordinary dodo; this is Dodo 2.0, a bird reimagined for a new era, with a personality as lively as a summer’s day and a spirit as free as the wind. Yet, Dodo 2.0 is not content with merely existing. It yearns to soar, to feel the rush of air beneath its wings, to explore the world beyond the confines of Nakike’s lab. And so begins a tale of friendship and adventure, as Nakike and his feathered companion navigate the challenges of a world that is both wondrous and perilous. Ahuruonye’s prose dances off the page, weaving a tapestry of words that is both witty and poetic. His storytelling is a masterclass in charm, drawing readers young and old into a narrative that is as heartwarming as it is thrilling. The book is a celebration of nature, a call to cherish and protect the wonders of our world, and a reminder that even the most fantastical dreams can come true with a little bit of ingenuity and a lot of heart. So, dear reader, why wait? Dive into the pages of Dodo Returns and let Nakike and Dodo 2.0 take you on an unforgettable journey. This is a book that promises laughter, excitement, and a touch of wonder. It’s a story that will leave you with a smile on your face and a song in your heart.

Return of the Crazy Bird
Author: Clara Pinto-Correia
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 0387216839
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
Using the history of the concept of extinction with the dodo as a case study, Pinto-Correia carefully weaves together story fragments to give a cohesive eye-opening view of 17th century exploration and the grave ramifications it had for the survival and extinction of many species. More importantly, she shows us the intellectual underpinnings of the old view that it was acceptable for some animals to die out. Within this narrative, we can see what the modern view of the dodo tells us about the history of our changing understanding and valuation of nature and our place in it. Strong writing, powered by lively historical anecdotes and sober insights into human behavior, makes this beautifully illustrated book a page-turner to the end.

Hausa Superstitions and Customs
Author: Major A.J.N. Tremearne
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 113696973X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 299
Book Description
First Published in 1970. This an important addition to the understanding of African Islamic studies. Hausa folklore is rich i the world-wide motifs found in one form or another in such widely differing cultures as India, Scandinavia, American, Ireland and so on. There are familiar characters that can be identified from European folklore, but more often than not a number of motifs are clearly Indian. The publication of this second impression of Tremeane's work, is particularly welcome at a time when there is a growing interest among students in the background of ideas that inform African cultures as well as in the phenomena of African languages and the structures of African societies. But this material should not be seen as exclusively African. It is also part of the general Islamic heritage and contains a wealth of evidence to enable us to explain and understand the nature of the Islamic presence in Africa. Includes forty-one illustrations, over two hundred figures in the text, and a map.

The Possibility of Everything
Author: Hope Edelman
Publisher: Ballantine Books
ISBN: 0345506510
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
Look for the discussion guide inside In the autumn of 2000, Hope Edelman was a woman adrift, questioning her marriage, her profession, and her place in the larger world. Feeling vulnerable and isolated, she was primed for change. The Possibility of Everything is the story of the change that found her. A chronicle of her extraordinary leap of faith, it begins when her three-year-old daughter, Maya, starts exhibiting unusual and disruptive behavior. Confused and worried, Edelman and her husband make an unorthodox decision: They take Maya to Belize, suspending disbelief and chasing the promise of an alternative cure. This deeply affecting, beautifully written memoir of a family’s emotional journey and a mother’s intense love explores what Edelman and her husband went looking for in the jungle and what they ultimately discovered—as parents, as spouses, and as ordinary people—about the things that possess and destroy, or that can heal us all.
