Book excerpt: When a surrogate mother pretends the pregnancy has miscarried, and bears a daughter - to whom does the child belong? To her runaway birth mother, or her deceived father and his wife? Scout, born as a result of a surrogacy arrangement, is kept by her biological mother, Joanie, who has deliberately deceived both the clinic and Scout's intended parents by claiming to have had a miscarriage. When this deception comes to light ten years later, a compelling moral dilemma unfolds as Joanie makes her situation worse in the eyes of the law and social services by going on the run. Scout is a resourceful, anxious, perceptive child. She craves normality in the face of her mother's restlessness and unaccountability. She is loyal to her mother, and loves her deeply, despite being aware of her inconsistencies. Will the Family Court make the right decision for this vulnerable and determined little girl?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist for the National Book Award for Nonfiction * New York Times Bestseller * A Huffington Post Notable Nonfiction Book of the Year * One of the Best Books of the Month on Goodreads * Library Journal Best Sci-Tech Book of the Year * An American Library Association Notable Book of the Year “Sy Montgomery’s The Soul of an Octopus does for the creature what Helen Macdonald’s H Is for Hawk did for raptors.” —New Statesman, UK “One of the best science books of the year.” —Science Friday, NPR Another New York Times bestseller from the author of The Good Good Pig, this “fascinating…touching…informative…entertaining” (The Daily Beast) book explores the emotional and physical world of the octopus—a surprisingly complex, intelligent, and spirited creature—and the remarkable connections it makes with humans. In pursuit of the wild, solitary, predatory octopus, popular naturalist Sy Montgomery has practiced true immersion journalism. From New England aquarium tanks to the reefs of French Polynesia and the Gulf of Mexico, she has befriended octopuses with strikingly different personalities—gentle Athena, assertive Octavia, curious Kali, and joyful Karma. Each creature shows her cleverness in myriad ways: escaping enclosures like an orangutan; jetting water to bounce balls; and endlessly tricking companions with multiple “sleights of hand” to get food. Scientists have only recently accepted the intelligence of dogs, birds, and chimpanzees but now are watching octopuses solve problems and are trying to decipher the meaning of the animal’s color-changing techniques. With her “joyful passion for these intelligent and fascinating creatures” (Library Journal Editors’ Spring Pick), Montgomery chronicles the growing appreciation of this mollusk as she tells a unique love story. By turns funny, entertaining, touching, and profound, The Soul of an Octopus reveals what octopuses can teach us about the meeting of two very different minds.

Book excerpt: 'My most anticipated book of the year' - Peter F. Hamilton, Britain's no.1 science fiction writer Children of Ruin follows Adrian Tchaikovsky's extraordinary Children of Time, winner of the Arthur C. Clarke award. It is set in the same universe, with new characters and a thrilling narrative. It has been waiting through the ages. Now it's time . . . Thousands of years ago, Earth’s terraforming program took to the stars. On the world they called Nod, scientists discovered alien life – but it was their mission to overwrite it with the memory of Earth. Then humanity’s great empire fell, and the program’s decisions were lost to time. Aeons later, humanity and its new spider allies detected fragmentary radio signals between the stars. They dispatched an exploration vessel, hoping to find cousins from old Earth. But those ancient terraformers woke something on Nod better left undisturbed. And it’s been waiting for them. 'Books like this are why we read science fiction' - Ian McDonald, author of the Luna series All underpinned by great ideas. And it is crisply modern - but with the sensibility of classic science fiction' Stephen Baxter, author of the Long Earth series (with Terry Pratchett)

In this beautiful picture book, learn the many surprising lessons animals have to teach us about friendship, compassion, and how to be a better creature in the world. Sy Montgomery has had many teachers in her life: some with two legs, others with four, or even eight! Some have had fur, feathers, or hooves. But they’ve all had one thing in common: a lesson to share. The animals Sy has met on her many world travels have taught her how to seek understanding in the most surprising ways, from being patient to finding forgiveness and respecting others. Gorillas, dogs, octopuses, tigers, and more all have shown Sy that there are no limits to the empathy and joy we can find in each other if only we take the time to connect. Based on the New York Times best-selling adult memoir, Sy Montgomery and Rebecca Green's beautiful, friendly guide is for readers young and old who wish to be better creatures in the world.

Book excerpt: After losing her job, Isa Andrews finds herself house-sitting for her sister, Kate. Her quirky small town neighbors are already driving her crazy, including a nine-foot-long alligator. She hopes to survive this short purgatory and head back to Manhattan to be a photographer, but luck seems to be against her. Bryce Williams is mourning his grandfather Harrys death, and his inheritance is nothing more than mounting debt. Hes on the verge of losing everything. Even his second job as captain and dive master on the Dream Maker can't bring enough money in time. Then, while diving with Isa, something miraculous happens. Isa takes an underwater photograph that appears to be a clue that could lead them to a four hundred-year-old sunken treasure. Together, they start looking, but theyre not the only ones. To find the treasure--and save both their futures--Isa and Bryce must go up against modern day pirates and a violent hurricane. With luck, theyll be flying high; otherwise, theyll end up at the bottom of the sea.

This book was released on 2021-02-01 with total page 14957 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jules Verne, a 19th-century French author, is famed for such revolutionary science-fiction novels as “Around the World in Eighty Days” and “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea”. He has sometimes been called the "Father of Science Fiction", a title that has also been given to H. G. Wells and Hugo Gernsback. In all, Verne authored more than 60 books (most notably the 54 novels comprising the “Voyages Extraordinaires”), as well as dozens of plays, short stories and librettos. He conjured hundreds of memorable characters and imagined countless innovations years before their time, including the submarine, space travel, terrestrial flight and deep-sea exploration. Verne is generally considered a major literary author in France and most of Europe, where he has had a wide influence on the literary avant-garde and on surrealism. Verne has been the second most-translated author in the world since 1979, ranking between Agatha Christie and William Shakespeare. Some of the works appear only in their original French texts, due to copyright restrictions.

Book excerpt: Revolution is brewing in the semi-submerged city of Tiankawi, between humans and the fathomfolk who live in its waters. This gloriously imaginative debut fantasy, inspired by East Asian mythology and ocean folk tales, is a novel of magic, rebellion and change. Welcome to Tiankawi - shining pearl of human civilization and a safe haven for those fleeing civil unrest. Or at least, that's how it first appears. But in the semi-flooded city, humans are, quite literally, on top: peering down from shining towers and aerial walkways on the fathomfolk - sirens, seawitches, kelpies and kappas - who live in the polluted waters below. For half-siren Mira, promotion to captain of the border guard means an opportunity to help her downtrodden people. But if earning the trust and respect of her human colleagues wasn't hard enough, everything Mira has worked towards is put in jeopardy when Nami, a know-it-all water dragon and fathomfolk princess - is exiled to the city, under Mira’s watch. When extremists sabotage a city festival, violence erupts, as does the clampdown on fathomfolk rights. Both Nami and Mira must decide if the cost of change is worth paying, or if Tiankawi should be left to drown.

Even escaping to Double Dare Island for a vacation didn't help, especially not when she stepped into the path of a deadly hurricane—and of a killer who intended she never regain her memory of that fateful night. When Dr. F. Storm Delaney pulled her out of the churning sea and swirling winds, he had no idea how much this woman needed saving. Trapped on the battered island, the eerie chills and bizarre accidents having followed her, Elisa needed Storm to help her remember. But the secrets she'd locked away could either free her to love her protector…or get her killed. A woman alone…with no one to trust. Where can she run? Straight into the arms of HER PROTECTOR

When a ten-year-old Elmadore makes an odd and unusual find while exploring his favorite place—an abandoned lighthouse—he unwittingly plunges himself into an underwater adventure. He and his best friend, nine-year-old Aaliyah, are called upon to solve an age-old riddle known as The Great Secret of the Seas. It falls on these two young children to help free all the wonderful sea creatures they meet while also somehow returning safely to their many concerned friends and families back at home on land. Travel with them as they swim many leagues beneath the ocean, brave strange currents, and enjoy wondrous sites and experiences while trying to unravel the mystery that has brought them far into the depths of the ocean. 'If you think that books for children and young people are predictable, think again. The Great Secret of the Seas is a great read that held my interest to the very end. D. G. Flamand has an imagination that cannot be matched. Adults as well as children will enjoy this book.' —Elaine Littau, author of Christian Historical/Western Fiction 'Not only is The Great Secret of the Seas a fine example of positive enjoyment...It is time children see themselves as what they are, very powerful forces in this world—forces which can make the world a better and happier place.' —Vernon Corban, Artist

Book excerpt: The scene of Verne's adventure tale is laid in Florida, and the book is full of thrilling adventures and marvellous escapes by land and water. The hero, Mr. Burbank, a Northerner, for some years settled in the South, is a fine manly fellow, who scorns to tell anything but the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, when confronted by his enemies who had usurped authority in Jacksonville during those troublous times. The attack on Castle House is well told, and the excitement is great when it seems as though the tide will not admit the passage of the Federal gunboats over the river bar, and that our hero and his son will be sacrificed to the vengeance of their enemies. However, a fortunate gale carries the boats over the bar, and father and son are set at liberty, to begin what looks like almost a hopeless search amongst the creeks and islets of the St. John's River for the missing child who, with her attendant, has been kidnapped by the same villain who had plotted the murder of her father and brother. We have an exciting voyage up the river nearly to its source, and a subsequent journey through forest and morass, with at last a rescue, though not before the faithful attendant has received a savage, though not mortal, wound. The whole story is well told, and the interest is sustained to the end. There are more than eighty illustrations of the different critical events recorded, showing, too, the lovely scenery of Florida with its luxuriant vegetation.
