Book Description
What People Are Saying Youngsters who are animal lovers are our future. I call them Starlion cubs: Stars because they shine so brightly and cubs because they have lion hearts that are so brave and true, they are prepared to do anything for the animals they love. If you have a Starlion cub as your child, you're the luckiest mom or dad in the world, and this special animal lovers' book, Endangered Species Have Feelings Too, is for you. --Linda Tucker Author, Saving the White Lions; Conservationist; CEO, Global White Lion Protection Trust ***** Alexandra Delis-Abrams' book, Endangered Species Have Feelings Too, is certain to become a "primer" for the new generation of children that will be in tune with the animal world around them and thereby experiencing the joy in celebrating their coexistence with them. It will also inspire that generation to honor and revere the breadth of the life force on our planet. We are facing one of humanities greatest challenges as the natural world continues to be degraded. It will be through sensitive and genuine guidance by people like Alexandra that we will prevail. --Urmas Kaldveer, PhD Executive Director, The Mendocino Institute of Science and History Author, The Others: "The Whale People" a Personal Journey of Discovery, Transformation, and Healing ***** The need to educate future generations of the human impact on the natural world is of monumental global importance--as well as discovering how we learn to cooperate and live together on this precious planet. After reviewing this meaningful and relevant book, Endangered Species Have Feelings Too, I see countless ways this can be utilized in the school environment for compassion training and emotional awareness. I applaud Alexandra Delis-Abrams for teaching children how to imagine standing in the shoes of one of these endangered species, as well as how each person's contribution can make a life-changing difference. This is social-emotional-learning at its best and can be appreciated by children and adults worldwide. --Teri McKenna, LMSW School Social Worker, Hailey Elementary School, Hailey, Idaho ***** My appreciation and kudos to Alexandra Delis-Abrams on her new and unique educational/coloring book, Endangered Species Have Feelings Too. As we try to protect the animals that are endangered on our planet for "seven generations," we must start educating this generation now. The wonderful illustrations by Kim Howard and complimentary short stories by Alexandra get the message across to the children and adults that it is respect for the animal kingdom that is so urgently needed today. --Tewatennietha she sends Evans Elder of the Mohawk Nation Kahnawake, Mohawk Territory, Quebec, Canada ***** First, I like to say congratulations for your book. It is very educational, easy to understand, and I really enjoyed the way each endangered species narrated his natural history, important facts, and threats. Well done! As a biologist, I recognize how important and needed books are like this one! Endangered Species Have Feeling Too brings the readers into the perspective of the different reasons why we have critically endangered animals all around the world. Some of the species you selected were new species for me, so reading your book made me aware of the current status of new species, thanks a lot. --Victor M. Cuevas Forest Ranger, El Yunque National Forest, Puerto Rico

Book Description
Nigel Mullet isn't your typical teenager . . . he's a vampire. But unfortunately, when Nigel transformed he didn't become all broody and interesting, and as for super strength and speed . . . well, forget it! Instead he's got acne, a voice that squeaks, a tendency to break out in a rash (not sparkles!) when exposed to the sun, and absolutely no idea how to talk to girls. When a beautiful new girl moves into the neighborhood, Nigel is determined to win her heart but first he's got to figure out how. In the meantime, he writes about her in his diary and composes really bad love poetry that he will recite to her one day, if he can work up the courage to tell her the truth. Can Nigel win the girl and the respect of his family--or is he destined to be a totally lame vampire forever?

Storyteller Guitar
Author: Doug Larson
Publisher: Dundurn
ISBN: 1554888883
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
Every object around us contains the history of all the people and places that brought it here. But rarely is that history explored. In this book, instead of breaking an object apart to reveal those stories, they are told by building the object a guitar named Storyteller from scratch. The text and illustrations reveal the rich lives of the people, places, and projects that breathed life into it. The stories range from people who were pioneers in landscape restoration to those involved with automobile manufacturing. The places include the high arctic, tropical forests, and vertical cliffs of the Niagara Escarpment. The projects include stage plays, laser physics and the establishment of the first Canadian diamond mines. By bringing together these disparate stories in one musical instrument the book makes the argument that art, science, and history are part of everybody’s life.

An Endangered Species
Author: David Gower
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1471102378
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
As a cricketer, David Gower was famed for the elegance of his strokeplay as one of England's greatest batsmen and for his superb fielding. As a captain, he led his country to Ashes success, yet some queried his application because it all seemed to come to him so easily and effortlessly. But that was never the whole story: Gower was always committed and a great competitor, as this fascinating and frank book, looking back on his life and career, shows. Once he retired from the game, Gower built a new career for himself, first as team captain in the long-running TV comedy series They Think It's All Over, and then as an astute and charming presenter and commentator with Sky Sports. After more than 30 years as one of the most popular figures in the game, Gower now reveals there is so much more to his story than the cliched image of 'Lord' Gower flying in his Tiger Moth. He is a man of great insight, determination and drive, but who also knows there is always more to be had from life.

The Impact of Mining Lifecycles in Mongolia and Kyrgyzstan
Author: Troy Sternberg
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000461092
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
This volume investigates how mining affects societies and communities in Mongolia and Kyrgyzstan. As ex-Soviet states, Mongolia and Kyrgyzstan share history, culture and transitions to democracy. Most importantly, both are mineral-rich countries on China’s frontier and epi-centres of resource extraction. This volume examines challenges communities in these countries encounter on the long journey through resource exploration, extraction and mine closure. The book is organised into three related sections that travel from mine licensing and instigation to early anticipation of benefit through the realisation of social and environmental impacts to finite issues such as jobs, monitoring, dispute resolution and reclamation. Most originally, each chapter will include a final section entitled "Notes from the field" that presents the voice of in-country researchers and stakeholders. These sections will provide local contextual knowledge on the chapter’s theme by practitioners from Mongolia and Central Asia. The volume thereby offers a distinctively grounded perspective on the tensions and benefits of mining in this dynamic region. Using Mongolia and Kyrgyzstan as case studies, the volume reflects on the evolving challenges communities and societies encounter with resource extraction worldwide. The book will be of great interest to students and scholars of mining and natural resource extraction, corporate social responsibility and sustainable development.
