He has no idea what he's in for, or of how much he'll become a part of the dragons he's coming to love. Will Justin be willing to leave his very modern life behind to stay in Samuel's world and be the mate Samuel longs for?
Book Synopsis Sanctuary Almanac by : Jim Stapleton
Download or read book Sanctuary Almanac written by Jim Stapleton and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2008-04 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sanctuary Almanac brings into the new millennium the finest nature writing in the grand tradition of William Bartram, Henry David Thoreau, and John Burroughs-the pursuit of natural history in the original Greek sense of historyas an inquiryinto nature. Jim Stapleton probes, reflects, and fully immerses himself in the natural world in such a transformative way that every day becomes joyously revelatory. The startling originality of his observations makes us feel whisked onto a newly discovered planet that happens to be named Earth." - Frank Bergon, author of Shoshone Mikeand editor of The Wilderness Reader "I love it ....what a delightful tour Jim Stapleton gives of life through the seasons at the Slabsides Sanctuary of writer-naturalist John Burroughs. In upstate New York, nestled between the Hudson and the Catskills, Jim is witness to the seasons, marking time with all the life that swirls about him. Any reader of this Almanac will inevitably become more observant (and protective) of the Sanctuaries around and within each of us." - Donald Kroodsma, author of The Singing Life of Birds "Sanctuary Almanacis a true delight, a personal phenology with all the charm and power of John Burroughs' own essays. Stapleton has written an elegant, good-hearted, and nuanced portrait of a natural history shrine. Readers will come away with a new and clearer way of seeing their own place." - Robert Michael Pyle, author of Sky TIme in Gray's River "Hearing a faint scream in the blue Hudson Valley sky, I glance up from my work in the wood yard ..the red-shouldered hawks are back "And with them, spring returns to the John Burroughs Sanctuary, a 180-acre nature preserve nestled in the gently rolling hills of West Park, NY, where Jim Stapleton was resident naturalist for a decade. In Sanctuary Almanac, Stapleton takes the reader on a fascinating ramble through the natural year at the reserve: How does it feel to fly like a March crow? Or quake like an aspen tree? What state of mind does an accident victim share with a wounded muskrat? Jim Stapleton outlines a tidy cottage industry using chickadee labor and an age-old marking technique to save wildlife from leg-hold traps. Equal parts natural history, meditation on 'sanctuary', and personal memoir, Sanctuary Almanac is an enchanting walk ABOUT THE AUTHOR As a young boy growing up in Toledo, Ohio in the 1940's, Jim Stapleton was fascinated by how things work. This preoccupation eventually led him to Gottingen, West Germany and a degree in theoretical physics.He returned to the U.S.in 1962 and spent the next eight years as a hermit in Pennsylvania's Allegheny Mountains. Moving on, he worked on a series of farms, settled in the Mid-Hudson Valley, and pursued advanced degrees in biology and environmental science. In the 1980's he taught at various colleges (Bard, Vassar, and the New School for Social Research); and helped found Hudsonia, a not-for-profit environmental research institute. Stapleton now writes plays -Henry & Emily, an imagined encounter between Thoreau & Dickinson, Playing for Keeps, a love story, Tango As-If. He lives on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington with his wife, Diana Bigelow."

Book excerpt: Co-founder of the Women's March makes her YA debut in a near future dystopian where a young girl and her brother must escape a xenophobic government to find sanctuary. It's 2032, and in this near-future America, all citizens are chipped and everyone is tracked--from buses to grocery stores. It's almost impossible to survive as an undocumented immigrant, but that's exactly what sixteen-year-old Vali is doing. She and her family have carved out a stable, happy life in small-town Vermont, but when Vali's mother's counterfeit chip starts malfunctioning and the Deportation Forces raid their town, they are forced to flee. Now on the run, Vali and her family are desperately trying to make it to her tía Luna's in California, a sanctuary state that is currently being walled off from the rest of the country. But when Vali's mother is detained before their journey even really begins, Vali must carry on with her younger brother across the country to make it to safety before it's too late. Gripping and urgent, co-authors Paola Mendoza and Abby Sher have crafted a narrative that is as haunting as it is hopeful in envisioning a future where everyone can find sanctuary.

Book excerpt: The second story in the thrilling Nordic crime series The Snow White Trilogy, an international success published in 52 territories worldwide and soon to be a Hollywood film. 'Fans of Nesbø and Larsson won't be disappointed' Publishers Weekly Lumikki Andersson may be innocent, but she's no Snow White . . . Three and a half months have passed since Lumikki was left for dead in a snowdrift, a bullet wound in her thigh and frostbite creeping into her skin. But the scorchingly hot streets of Prague in summer provide a welcome contrast to that terrifying time, and now Lumikki just wants to move on - forget the events of the past year - and escape her parent's oppressive concern. She's alone again, which is just how she likes it. But Lumikki's peaceful solitude is about to be shattered. She is approached on the street by a nervous young woman, who, unbelievably, thinks she might be Lumikki's long-lost sister. Lumikki is unconvinced - although Zelenka's story seems to ring true, there's something weird about her. Something jumpy, and suspicious. And it turns out Lumikki is right to be wary, as Zelenka is part of a dangerous religious cult. On the run for her life again, Lumikki must once more draw on her all her powers of resolve and strength if she is to survive.

Book excerpt: A princess and a barbarian warrior battle a god in this dark fantasy, the “impressive debut” from the author of The Briar King (Publishers Weekly).

Her blood is not only royal, it is magic, with a power that will not become known until she approaches adulthood.

When Hezhi’s cousin D’en is kidnapped by the priests and taken below, Hezhi vows to rescue him. But he is trapped in the domain of the River, and she will need a hero to help her find her way in the dark.

When the River threatens to destroy Perkar’s love, he embarks on a quest that will take him to Hezhi’s side to do battle with a god.
Download or read book Sanctuary Line written by Jane Urquhart and published by MacLehose Press. This book was released on 2013-09-03 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alice Munro hails Urquhart's "most compelling depiction of the sense of place in human lives." "Urquhart's writing is poetic, in the sense that it is beautifully compact and restrained when describing the most powerful emotions," says The Times. The author Claire Messud praises her as having "a great gift for the historical novel, for the melding of ideas, events and individuals into a significant whole." In Sanctuary Line Urquhart has created a nuanced and moving novel about family legacies, love, and betrayal. Solitary, nostalgic Liz Crane returns to her family's now-deserted farmhouse--once the setting for countless happy summers spent on the northern shore of Lake Erie--to study the migratory habits of the Monarch butterfly. Encompassing all the colorful stories and blarney of successful Irish immigrants who have made the most of their relocation to North America, the Cranes' rich family history is now circumscribed by sadness. Liz's beloved cousin Amanda, a gifted military strategist, has been killed in Afghanistan, a loss that had been foreshadowed many years in the past by the disappearance of Amanda's charismatic father. Reflecting on the fragility and transience of human life and relations--mirrored in the butterflies' restless flight patterns and transcontinental migrations--Liz finds that love is there to be found where, and when, you least expect it.

Download or read book Dogfella written by James Guiliani and published by Da Capo Lifelong Books. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did a former mob enforcer become a compassionate advocate for animals in need of loving homes? How did his hardened heart open up to the plight of abused and abandoned pets? James "Head" Guiliani was an unlikely candidate to become a passionate animal rescuer. Raised in a religious family in a blue-collar neighborhood, James became involved in street gangs at a young age. By his mid-twenties, he'd become a 6'2" 250-pound enforcer for the Gambino crime family during the reign of infamous mob boss John Gotti. But after years of worsening alcohol and drug use and a stretch in the Riverhead Correctional Facility, James finally hit bottom. It was then that he met Lena Perrelli, who helped turn his life around, providing the love and support he'd rejected in the past. And when the couple rescued an abandoned and abused shih tzu, the second phase of James's salvation began. Lovingly named Bruno, the small dog opened the former enforcer's hardened heart, and James discovered a new purpose in life as a devoted animal rescuer. Dogfella tells how this onetime altar boy from Queens became a gang member, a mob confidante, an an addict and convicted felon -- and how he found redemption by dedicating his life to animals. Alongside his personal journey, James shares stories from his rescue missions with Keno's Animal Rescue Shelter in Brooklyn: saving pit bulls from a dogfighting ring, driving through six-foot snowdrifts to reach 200 cats stranded in a blizzard, taking in homeless ducks from Staten Island, and many more. Sometimes scary, sometimes funny, and often poignant, James's story shows how the love of an animal can bring even the most hopeless cases a new purpose and a path to redemption.

Download or read book Operation Snow written by John Koster and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-09-17 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans have long debated the cause of the December 7, 1941 bombing of Pearl Harbor. Many have argued that the attack was a brilliant Japanese military coup, or a failure of U.S. intelligence agencies, or even a conspiracy of the Roosevelt administration. But despite the attention historians have paid to the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the truth about that fateful day has remained a mystery—until now. In Operation Snow: How a Soviet Mole in FDR’s White House Triggered Pearl Harbor, author John Koster uses recently declassified evidence and never-before-translated documents to tell the real story of the day that FDR memorably declared would live in infamy, forever. Operation Snow shows how Joseph Stalin and the KGB used a vast network of double-agents and communist sympathizers—most notably, Harry Dexter White—to lead Japan into war against the United States, demonstrating incontestable Soviet involvement behind the bombing of Pearl Harbor. A thrilling tale of espionage, mystery and war, Operation Snow will forever change the way we think about Pearl Harbor and World War II.
Download or read book The Snow written by Adam Roberts and published by Gollancz. This book was released on 2018-12-11 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new Adam Roberts novel is a story of global apocalypse, old hatreds and new beginnings. It is his best novel to date. And this is how the world will end ... 'The snow started falling on the sixth of September, soft noiseless flakes filling the sky like a swarm of white moths, or like static interference on your TV screen - whichever metaphor, nature or technology, you find the more evocative. Snow everywhere, all through the air, with that distinctive sense of hurrying that a vigorous snowfall brings with it. Everything in a rush, busy-busy snowflakes. And, simultaneously, paradoxically, everything is hushed, calm, as quiet as cancer, as white as death. And at the beginning people were happy.' But the snow doesn't stop. It falls and falls and falls. Until it lies three miles thick across the whole of the earth. Six billion people have died. Perhaps 150,000 survive. But those 150,000 need help, they need support, they need organising, governing. And so the lies begin. Lies about how the snow started. Lies about who is to blame. Lies about who is left. Lies about what really lies beneath.
