Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do you bridge the gap between the life you remember as a child and a new life that circumstances have thrust upon you? Can the gap between living on one continent and adapting to life on another ever be fully embraced? Young Sammy is uprooted from his home in Zimbabwe and all that he has held dear. Some relationships are made stronger by the move. His aunt Maggie and the African, Morris who was born in the same province of Matabeleland, become his support. New friendships are forged. The deep compassion given by Jeffery, in California, helps him break through old resistance, especially with the troubling relationship with Maggie's friend, Peter. The path of finding peace and acceptance is the journey Sammy faces, that brings him full circle back to the home he was forced to leave. The heartfelt story of moving to South Africa and then to the United States--of finding forgiveness and learning to love--is one that many can relate to. Many, like Sammy, Maggie, and Morris, have chosen or been forced to leave the countries of their birth. Both sweet and painful memories carve the path to embracing what has been, while striving forward to create a brighter future.
Download or read book Taking Flight written by Michael Edmonds and published by Wisconsin Historical Society. This book was released on 2018-02-23 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dynamic account of ornithological history in America’s heartland. Today, more than fifty million Americans traipse through wetlands at dawn, endure clouds of mosquitoes, and brave freezing autumn winds just to catch a glimpse of a bird. The human desire to connect with winged creatures defies age and generation. In the Midwest, humans and birds have lived together for more than twelve thousand years. Taking Flight explores how and why people have worshipped, feared, studied, hunted, eaten, and protected the birds that surrounded them. Author and birder Michael Edmonds has combed archaeological reports, missionaries’ journals, travelers’ letters, early scientific treatises, the memoirs of American Indian elders, and the folklore of hunters, farmers, and formerly enslaved people throughout the Midwest to reveal how our ancestors thought about the very same birds we see today. Whether you’re a casual bird-watcher, a hard-core life-lister, or simply someone who loves the outdoors, you’ll look at birds differently after reading this book.

Book Synopsis Pete Dunne's Essential Field Guide Companion by : Pete Dunne
Download or read book Pete Dunne's Essential Field Guide Companion written by Pete Dunne and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2013-01-08 with total page 1066 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the award-winning birder and author of Birds of Prey, an authoritative, information-packed guide to distinguishing North American birds. In this book, bursting with more information than any field guide could hold, the well-known author and birder Pete Dunne introduces readers to the “Cape May School of Birding.” It's an approach to identification that gives equal or more weight to a bird's structure and shape and the observer's overall impression (often called GISS, for General Impression of Size and Shape) than to specific field marks. After determining the most likely possibilities by considering such factors as habitat and season, the birder uses characteristics such as size, shape, color, behavior, flight pattern, and vocalizations to identify a bird. The book provides an arsenal of additional hints and helpful clues to guide a birder when, even after a review of a field guide, the identification still hangs in the balance. This supplement to field guides shares the knowledge and skills that expert birders bring to identification challenges. Birding should be an enjoyable pursuit for beginners and experts alike, and Pete Dunne combines a unique playfulness with the work of identification. Readers will delight in his nicknames for birds, from the Grinning Loon and Clearly the Bathtub Duck to Bronx Petrel and Chicken Garnished with a Slice of Mango and a Dollop of Raspberry Sherbet.
