Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Polly Evans was a woman with a mission. Before the traditional New Zealand male hung up his sheep shears for good, Polly wanted to see this vanishing species with her own eyes. Venturing into the land of giant kauri trees and smaller kiwi birds, she explores the country once inhabited by fierce Maori who carved their enemies’ bones into cutlery, bushwhacking pioneers, and gold miners who lit their pipes with banknotes—and comes face-to-face with their surprisingly tame descendants. So what had become of the mighty Kiwi warrior? As Polly tears through the countryside at seventy-five miles an hour, she attempts to solve this mystery while pub-crawling in Hokitika, scaling the Southern Alps, and enduring a hair-raising stay in a mining town where the earth has been known to swallow houses whole. And as she chronicles the thrills and travails of her extraordinary odyssey, Polly’s search for the elusive Kiwi comes full circle—teaching her some hilarious and surprising lessons about motorcycles, modern civilization, and men.

Download or read book Charlie and Kiwi written by New York Hall of Science, The and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-06-28 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To Charlie’s classmates, it seems like the kiwi bird got a raw deal: It barely has wings at all, so it can’t fly, and its long whiskers are more like a cat’s. How can such an unlucky bird even survive in the wild? But Charlie thinks the kiwi is cool, and with the help of his great-great-great-great-great-grandpa Charles Darwin, he travels back in time to learn how the kiwi evolved from a dinosaur-like creature to its present-day wingless state. Learning that “little changes in each generation can add up to BIG changes,” Charlie begins to understand that the kiwi bird’s flightless ways and catlike whiskers might be a bit odd, but they are exactly what has helped the species survive over thousands of years! Based on an exhibit from the New York Hall of Science that is currently touring the country, this Darwinian adventure through time explains the hugely important principle of evolution in an accessible, kid-friendly style.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seabirds evoke the spirit of the earth's wildest places. They spend large portions of their lives at sea, often far from land, and nest on remote islands that humans rarely visit. Thanks to increasingly sophisticated and miniaturized devices that can track their every movement and behavior, it is now possible to observe the mysterious lives of these remarkable creatures as never before. This book takes you on a breathtaking journey around the globe to provide an extraordinary up-close look at the activities of seabirds. Featuring stunning illustrations by renowned artist Bruce Pearson, Far from Land reveals that seabirds are not the aimless wind-tossed wanderers they may appear to be, and explains the observational innovations that are driving this exciting area of research.

We don’t often see players who prefer to play for the love of the game and not the fame—players like the 28-year-old Kawhi Leonard. Earlier this year, the quiet Kawhi led the Toronto Raptors in their most successful season yet, when they won the NBA (National Basketball Association) championship for the first time in history. Kawhi joined the team in 2018 and was also named the NBA Finals MVP (Most Valuable Player) for the second time in his career. The first time he won the award was in 2014, when he helped the San Antonio Spurs to their fifth championship. He hopes to do the same for his new team, the Los Angeles Clippers. With his extremely large hands and ability to score from anywhere on the court, the “Klaw” continues to rise through the ranks of the NBA. He has already gone from a skilled rookie to an All-Star and MVP, yet he remains one of the most humble players in the game. 沉默的王者： 「可愛」．雷納德 說到職業籃球界，大多數球員都樂於受到注目，在眾人面前炫耀自己的名聲和財富。我們不常看到打球是因為比較熱愛籃球比賽而不是名氣的球員——就像這位二十八歲的科懷．雷納德（常被暱稱為「可愛」）的球員。 今年早些時候，安靜不多話的「可愛」帶領多倫多暴龍隊進入他們到目前為止最成功的賽季，這是他們史上第一次贏得美國職業籃球聯賽總冠軍。「可愛」在二○一八年加入暴龍隊，並且在職業生涯中第二次被提名為美國職籃總冠軍賽的最有價值球員。他第一次獲選是在二○一四年，當時他幫助聖安東尼奧馬刺隊拿下該隊第五座冠軍。他希望能為他的新球隊洛杉磯快艇隊做同樣的事。 由於他的手掌非常大並且能從場上任何一個位置得分，「大手」在美國職籃的地位持續攀升。他已經從一個球技嫺熟的新秀變成了全明星賽球員和最有價值球員，然而他仍是籃球場上最謙遜的球員之一。 Born in California, Kawhi is the youngest of five children. His father, whom he was very close to, owned a car wash where Kawhi used to help out whenever he had time. But tragedy struck the family in 2008, when Kawhi’s father was shot and killed. This motivated Kawhi to cherish his time and give his best on the court, saying “I try to play as hard as I can each night. That’s what my father wanted me to do.” Kawhi stands out from many other NBA stars in part because he is very down-to-earth. For instance, after he signed a US$94 million contract, he continued to drive the same beat-up SUV that he had owned since high school. He also prefers to keep his private life private and does not even have a social media account. In Kawhi’s case, he is living proof that with enough hard work and persistence, greatness can be achieved. His humble attitude and instincts on the court have served him well on the road to success, making him one of the best role models in the NBA today. 「可愛」出生於加州，是五個孩子中最年幼的一個。他的父親（他與父親非常親）經營了一家洗車行，每當「可愛」有時間，就會去那裡幫忙。但二○○八年家中遭逢變故，「可愛」的父親遭到槍殺身亡。這激勵「可愛」要珍惜時間，並在球場上全力以赴，他說道：「我每晚都盡全力打球。那是我父親希望我做的。」 「可愛」從其他許多的美國職籃球星中脫穎而出，部分原因在於他實事求是。例如，在他簽下九千四百萬美元的合約後，他還繼續開著同台從高中就有的老爺休旅車。他也寧願維持低調的私人生活，甚至沒有社群媒體帳號。 就「可愛」而言，他是只要夠努力和堅持，就可以達到偉大成就的一個活生生的例子。他在球場上謙遜的態度和天分在他通往成功的路上發揮了很大的作用，使他成為現今美國職籃的最佳模範之一。
