Book Description
This book of photography represents National Geographic's Photo Ark, a major cross-platform initiative and lifelong project by photographer Joel Sartore to make portraits of the world's animals -- especially those that are endangered. His message: to know these animals is to save them. Sartore intends to photograph every animal in captivity in the world. He is circling the globe, visiting zoos and wildlife rescue centers to create studio portraits of 12,000 species, with an emphasis on those facing extinction. He has photographed more than 6,000 already and now, thanks to a multi-year partnership with National Geographic, he may reach his goal. This book showcases his animal portraits: from tiny to mammoth, from the Florida grasshopper sparrow to the greater one-horned rhinoceros. Paired with the prose of veteran wildlife writer Douglas Chadwick, this book presents an argument for saving all the species of our planet.

Perfect for a snuggly storytime: a "tail" about how baby animals bond with their families! Lions say "I love you" with a purr and a cuddle. Wolves say "I love you" with a howl and a huddle. Bears like to say it with a kiss on the muzzle. A mama cow says it with a lick and a nuzzle. Sweet, simple rhymes and glowing illustrations in soft pastels show the touching ways that animals—from elephants to giraffes to chickens—bond with their families.

Book Description
The second edition of Joe Newman's acclaimed book Raising Lions is an essential guide for parents and teachers raising strong-willed, precocious children. It offers clear insights into what motivates the most challenging behaviors, and what kinds of responses turn these behaviors around. "One of the best books on child-rearing I've ever read. Joe Newman describes a cultural shift that has reinforced anxiety and behavior disorders in children by negating parental authority. Even more important, he provides specific, non-punitive ways for parents to help their kids by taking back their authority. Filled with examples and experiences from the author's own life as a child with A.D.H.D., the book is a treasure-trove of useful information." Barry Michels, psychotherapist and New York Times bestselling author of The Tools. "This book is packed with useful information. It is an insightful and practical guide for managing children. I would recommend it to any parent." L. Alan Sroufe, Professor Emeritus Ph.D. University of Minnesota Current childrearing techniques seek to develop children who are confident, self-assured, and unafraid to speak their minds-lions instead of lambs. Although largely positive, this shift has brought with it some very serious problems in our children's behavior. Without going back to an authoritarian model, Joe Newman has developed new ways of helping children develop the ability to self-regulate without undermining their confidence and individuality. Raising Lions challenges us to re-examine our interactions and relationships with children, re-think the root causes of behavior problems and find new ways to support healthy, happy development. For over 20 years Joe Newman has worked with children, parents, teachers, and administrators to help them understand and improve child behavior.

Book Description
In May, 1979, Christopher McBride and his family loaded up a Land Rover and, leaving Timbavati in South Africa behind, travelled over 2000 kilometers to the heart of the Kalahari wastes. They set up a base camp in Savuti, Northern Botswana, where the lion is king. A mere 20 metres from the Savuti channel, a stretch of water teeming with crocodiles, catfish and pike, they constructed a grass and reed hut that was to be their home for nearly three years. Rejecting the usual method of observing lions during sample periods, the McBrides chose instead to become nocturnal themselves and, by so-doing, enter fully into the lions' nightime kingdom, to witness first-hand their hunting and their play, their feasts and their famines; the whole complex ebb and flow of their lives -- their LionTide. In this remarkable book, Christopher McBride, author of The White Lions of the Timbavati and co-author of Living With Lions (2018), provides a dramatic record of his time with the night hunters of Savuti. This account of the ceaseless struggle between Africa's largest carnivore, the lion, and its prey, hurtles the reader into the dust-swirled world of the Savuti lion prides with all its uncertainty and sudden death.
