Book excerpt: A Book Sense Notable Title "As Gessner pursues [the ospreys] down the Eastern Seaboard and even into Cuba with a BBC documentary team at his heels, a lively tale of fish-eating raptors, broken embargoes and a nail-biting race to the finish line ensues . . . Gessner finds his Mecca not in the thrilling launch or triumphant end of his own 7,000-mile migration, but in the living done in between."—Jennifer Winger, Nature Conservancy Magazine "An engaging, lyrical guide to osprey migration, Cuba, and a common humanity."—Orion Magazine "Gessner's finest book, unpredictable in the best way, and funny, too; an adventure book and much more—a book of contact by a writer who quickly becomes an audible and visible presence."—Clyde Edgerton, author of Solo "An interesting and complex book . . . In a surprisingly short amount of time, David Gessner has evolved into one of our most accomplished and singular writers about nature. While many authors treat their experiences in nature with a hushed earnestness and a suspect neatness, Gessner writes about the messy humanness of being outside."—Mark Lynch, Bird Observer "An ideal traveling companion and guide. Soaring with Fidel lets you hover for a while in the thermals of fine language, seeing the same old world from a fresh and invigorating altitude."—Ben Steelman, Wilmington (NC) Star-News

Book excerpt: The Osprey--Pandion haliaetus--is also known as the Fish Hawk, but that simple label does not do this magnificent bird justice. The Osprey is a master angler whose fish catching skills are unparalleled. There is no other living creature on this planet that comes hurtling out of the sky at speeds exceeding fifty miles an hour, dives feet first into the water, and somehow resurfaces with a fish clutched tightly in its talons. A true apex predator in a league of its own, being on top presents its own unique set of challenges that must be faced and overcome on a daily basis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oscar the Osprey is one of those must-read children's chapter books that teach kids how to get over embarrassment and humiliation, inspire others, and understand what self-acceptance means. It’s one of those how-to books for kids that teachers can use to show their students how to overcome challenges in life and teach the consequences of lying. Unable to fly over the mountains, Oscar finds himself alone, left behind to fend for himself in a bitterly cold winter in the Tetons. Will he adapt to the challenges in his life and learn how to overcome the humiliation he faces for having an unusual flying technique that isn’t how an Osprey is supposed to fly? Or will he give up and fail to learn how to overcome challenges in his life? Join Oscar as he meets other animals in the forest, challenges his elders, and unexpectedly learns how to inspire others. Elementary kids will learn about self-acceptance and see that everyone must overcome challenges. “A charming tale about deceit’s tangled web with textured, kinetic illustrations.” - Kirkus Reviews If you’re looking for an artfully illustrated must-read chapter book or a how-to book for children, Oscar The Osprey: The Bird Who Was Afraid of Heights delivers both.

Book Synopsis Afrikakorps 1941–43 by : Gordon Williamson
Download or read book Afrikakorps 1941–43 written by Gordon Williamson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-06-20 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The campaign in North Africa between September 1940 and May 1943 holds not only an enduring fascination for postwar generations; but also a perhaps unique degree of nostalgia for some surviving participants. The campaign was no less costly in terms of human lives and material than many others; but regret at the cost is accompanied by positive memories in the minds of many veterans. This is not to suggest that the dead have been forgotten; but an almost mystical bond nevertheless exists, even between former enemies, amongst veterans of the desert campaign. Gordon Williamson examines the history, organisation and uniforms of Rommel's Afrikakorps.
Download or read book Saladin written by David Nicolle and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-12-20 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Osprey Command book looks closely at the early life, military experiences and key battlefield exploits of Al-Malik al-Nasir Yusuf Ibn Najm al-Din Ayyub Ibn Shahdi Abu'l-Muzaffar Salah al-Din – or Saladin as he is more commonly known outside the Islamic world – who is broadly regarded as the greatest hero of the Crusades, even in Europe. Most chroniclers present him as a man of outstanding virtue, courage and political skill. More recently, however, efforts have been made to portray Saladin as an ambitious, ruthless and even devious politician, and as a less brilliant commander than is normally thought. This book sets out to reveal that the truth is, as usual, somewhere in between.

"Oscar and Olive Osprey is a charming book that children will love. It is not only a story of nature-of beautiful and graceful birds-but of family, parents' love, and of young birds growing, dreaming, overcoming their fears, and finding their way. Set atop a nest at the end of a pier, it is a story of life that parents and children can share. I highly recommend it."-Mark A. Reinecke, PhD, Chief Psychologist and professor at Northwestern Memorial Hospital Experiencing these spectacular birds of prey firsthand inspires, in children and adults alike, a sense of awe and a desire for learning more about them that is duplicated by reading this beautiful story.

Book Synopsis Restoring the Wild: Sixty Years of Rewilding Our Skies, Woods and Waterways by : Roy Dennis
Download or read book Restoring the Wild: Sixty Years of Rewilding Our Skies, Woods and Waterways written by Roy Dennis and published by William Collins. This book was released on 2022-03-17 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The RSPB's Book of the Season The distinctive white-tailed sea eagle was driven to extinction in Britain more than 200 years ago, but this immense predator is making a return to our skies, thanks to Roy Dennis, an ornithologist, conservationist and arguably the driving force behind the UK's reintroduction agenda. Roy was instrumental in returning the Osprey, red kite and golden eagle to the British Isles, but the road to reintroduction isn't an easy one. In what will surely be the seminal book on British reintroductions, Roy details the painstaking process of returning the Goldeneye to Scotland, one duckling at a time, the die-hard determination needed to make a dazzling success of the red kite reintroduction and the leap of faith we will all need to make to accept sharing our forests and skies with large carnivores again. He also illustrates all that we have to gain by restoring our ecosystems to balance. Filled with a lifetime's worth of stories from the front lines of conservation, Reintroduction offers an eye-opening insight into the complexities of reintroducing extinct animals to Britain. It's also an intimate portrait of these apex predators and a reminder of why we need them.
