Languages : en
Pages : 603
Book Description
The "Dafengtang" Shaozuo Zhao Wuji was married to Huang Daoji, but it was also the day of his father's death. His father, Zhao Jian, was cut in his study. All kinds of clues show that the murderer is likely to be the hand of Zhao Jian's brother-in-law, the Shangguan Blade, and the "Yangtang" and "Suizhong Tangmen". The Shangguan Blade also does not know what to do. Zhao Wuji has not yet built a room, and his newly married wife Wei Fengniang is looking for revenge for the enemy. Zhao Wuji knew that the martial arts were insufficient, so he was so bitter and sullen, and he was dressed as a fool, and learned martial arts from the "non-human".

The Parrot Who Thought She Was a Dog
Author: Nancy Ellis-Bell
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 0307409538
Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
The last thing Nancy Ellis-Bell expected to descend on her life was a neglected, too-tall, smart-mouthed, one-legged, blue-and-gold rescue macaw named Peg Leg. And yet, it made perfect sense. A lifelong animal lover, Nancy could never turn away a stray cat, dog, squirrel, or raccoon from her California farm. But the macaw, quickly rechristened Sarah, was a whole new challenge, as Nancy, her husband, Kerry, and their furry menagerie would find out. Initially timid of her new surroundings, Sarah soon imposed her four-foot wingspan into the family homestead—first claiming the laundry basket, then conquering a prized dresser—and achieved complete household domination. Nancy couldn’t “bird-proof” the place fast enough, and it was not long before Sarah started stealing the dogs’ toys—using her enormous beak to disembowel Ben the mutt’s treasured stuffed bear—and bathing her richly hued feathers in their water bowl. She also peppered Nancy’s phone conversations with expletive-laden outbursts. There seemed no end to Sarah’s realm, nor her destruction, and it dawned on Nancy that the entire house had slowly transformed into a birdcage. On the other side of the coin, Sarah started to abandon her own raptor instincts when she discovered that dog food was pretty tasty and that she had a knack for “barking” (and a few other sounds that alarmed the neighbors). As they all learned to live together, Nancy marveled that Sarah had truly found a place to call home, but she sensed that there was something she could give Sarah to make her feel more complete: a chance to fly again. Touching, eye-opening, and laugh-out-loud funny, The Parrot Who Thought She Was a Dog is a tender tale of two worlds colliding, two lives enriched, and two souls restored. It is also a rewarding reminder that love can come from the most unexpected places.

Scaling
Author: Knut Schmidt-Nielsen
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 110739287X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
This book is about the importance of animal size. We tend to think of animal function in chemical terms and talk of water, salts, proteins, enzymes, oxygen, energy, and so on. We should not forget, however, that physical laws are equally important, for they determine rates of diffusion and heat transfer, transfer of force and momentum, the strength of structures, the dynamics of locomotion, and other aspects of the functioning of animal bodies. Physical laws provide possibilities and opportunities for an organism, yet they also impose constraints, setting limits to what is physically possible. This book aims to give an understanding of these rules because of their profound implications when we deal with animals of widely different size and scale. The reader will find that the book raises many questions. Remarkable and puzzling information makes it read a little like a detective story, but the last chapter, instead of giving the final solution, neither answers all questions nor provides one great unifying principle.
