Book Description
A gorgeously illustrated and interactive full-color guide to more than 181 birds of North America, based on the bestselling board game, Wingspan. Praised for its gorgeous illustrations, accurate portrayal of bird habitats, and its gameplay, the bird-focused board game Wingspan has become an international sensation, available in a dozen languages and selling more than 200,000 copies its first year. Celebrating Birds is the ultimate companion to the game for fans, as well as a beautiful and in-depth field guide for avian and nature enthusiasts. In addition to large-size representations of each bird and the most up-to-date bird descriptions provided by Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Celebrating Birds includes a step-by-step guide that can be used to take the game into the real world. Players can collect points based on the birds, nests, and various habitat and feeding clues they find outside. Artists and best friends Natalia Rojas and Ana Maria Martinez collaborated to create the beautiful depictions featured in the original Wingspan board game. Celebrating Birds features larger illustrations of the 170 North American birds from the game, plus eleven exciting new birds. With Celebrating Birds, players and amateur naturalists can discover details about many of the birds currently at risk for extinction. As the number of birds in the United States and Canada has declined precipitously, Celebrating Birds is a fun way to raise awareness, educate, encourage activism, and provide resources on some of the most important ecological issues facing us today.

Something Curious
Author: Linda P. Jacob
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1524544272
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 62
Book Description
The clutter and distractions of the world pose great challenges to simplicity and purity of heart. The enticements of materialism, temporal pleasures of flesh and mind, and deceit of self-pride are curtains of the soul. They block off radiance that enables clarity of vision and accurate perception of truth and beauty. Observations, ponderings, and meanderings in poetry and prosethese are the gist of my writings; outpourings of wonderment, inspiration, praise, and love; at times, of intrigue and deliverance. In many instances, it is the heart that tells the mind what to see and think. Life is replete with messages, images and meaningsintentional, contrived, or coincidental. There are huh moments, and there are ahamoments. Their interpretation is mine, but I leave it to you, my readers, to feel as I feel or ponder as I ponder or be fascinated and awed . . . and adventure through lifes mysteries. The first part of this book is an expression in poetry. Awe, gratitude, and love are the wellspring for expression. The second part of this book offers an intimate and curious peek into the mysterious fabric of real-time vignettes and the overlapping dimension of dreams. God, in his most extraordinary ways and in his most extraordinary love, has gifted me with precious moments in time, moments that my finite mind could not and would not have conjured. I cling to their very memory emblazoned in my heart, and I humbly share them with you, my readers. Biblical scripture exhorts that unless we are like little children again, we cannot see the kingdom of God. Beyond our complete comprehension, God gives a foretaste of his kingdom on this temporal earth to temporal beings. It is his gift of love and compassion. The simplicity of little children . . . that is what this book, Something Curious: Book 2: Simply Awed aims to inspire, to see, and to experience the gift that is freely given in a myriad ways.

The Fun Side of the Wall
Author: Travis Scott Luther
Publisher: ISBN Services
ISBN: 9781647640026
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
The Fun Side of the Wall is not just a book about retiring in Mexico. Much in the style of Malcolm Gladwell and Gregory Berns, the book is a critique of the way retirement has been commodified in the United States. This push for commercially structured senior living has left some Baby Boomers in search of more authentic surroundings. In Mexico, they've found something special - authentic community and a true sense of purpose and belonging. In this book you will uncover: Who these "Mexico Boomers" are The roles Ageism and Consumerism play in their decision to move Where they live in Mexico How they're actively creating authentic community How they're saving money Why they refuse to leave Why They Leave "People were begging me not to spend my life worrying about money, not to let others hold me down, and to go and experience as much as I could for myself." - Jan, 54-year-old hospice nurse. "What I've really found is freedom. I have my own time to pursue my own interests. I can write. I can walk. Most of my day is spent doing whatever it is I feel like doing. That is why I'm here. That is why I stay." - Fabian, 59-year-old yoga instructor. "In the beginning I felt guilty, like I was betraying my country. But medical expenses were gouging our savings, and most of our income was going to copays. In the end, we weren't running. We were just trying to live in a place we could afford." - Richard, 62-year-old retired salesman. Excerpt From the Book "Here is a fun fact: Before 1960, our "Golden Years" did not even exist. The term "Golden Years" was actually coined in 1959 when it was used to sell homes in a brand-new retirement community called Sun City. Located in the heart of the Arizona desert, Sun City was one of the first large-scale 55+ "Active Retirement" communities launched in the United States. Today, most of us take for granted the idea that we need to go somewhere to retire. But just 50 to 60 years ago that concept was totally brand new and, like most tightly held beliefs about retirement, totally invented. Today, a dynamic financial and employment landscape makes it a little harder to pinpoint what, exactly, retirement will look like for all of us. But even though we differ on how we'll actually do it, the present expectation for retirement sounds something like this: Work until you're 65 or 67. Make a voluntary withdrawal from the workforce. Collect your Social Security and retirement contributions. Sell the family home. Pocket some cash and downsize to a smaller place in a hip retirement community. Golf. Travel. Maybe volunteer. Have a heart attack in your sleep and die. Finally, cash in that funeral insurance. Memorial. Ground. Over." About the Author Travis Scott Luther is a Denver, Colorado writer, speaker, and entrepreneur. He received his Masters in Sociology from the University of Colorado Denver. He is a former Adjunct Professor of Entrepreneurship at MSU Denver and currently serves as Director for MSU Denver's RoadFounders College Business Incubator. He is a member of Entrepreneurs Organization (EO) where he served as National Chair for the 2019 Global Student Entrepreneurship Awards. Luther first became interested in Baby Boomers retiring in Mexico during graduate school. His Masters Thesis research contributed to the content in this book. He continues to be interested in U.S. expatriates retiring all over the world and continues to monitor those who have chosen Mexico.
