Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A poet celebrates the wonders of nature in a collection of essays that could almost serve as a coming-of-age memoir.” —Kirkus Reviews As a child, Nezhukumatathil called many places home: the grounds of a Kansas mental institution, where her Filipina mother was a doctor; the open skies and tall mountains of Arizona, where she hiked with her Indian father; and the chillier climes of western New York and Ohio. But no matter where she was transplanted—no matter how awkward the fit or forbidding the landscape—she was able to turn to our world’s fierce and funny creatures for guidance. “What the peacock can do,” she tells us, “is remind you of a home you will run away from and run back to all your life.” The axolotl teaches us to smile, even in the face of unkindness; the touch-me-not plant shows us how to shake off unwanted advances; the narwhal demonstrates how to survive in hostile environments. Even in the strange and the unlovely, Nezhukumatathil finds beauty and kinship. For it is this way with wonder: it requires that we are curious enough to look past the distractions in order to fully appreciate the world’s gifts. Warm, lyrical, and gorgeously illustrated by Fumi Nakamura, World of Wonders is a book of sustenance and joy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Water Wonders Journey: An Adventure in Water Conservation In the serene village of Green Meadows, young Luna is always curious about the world around her, particularly the wonders of water. Her fascination grows when she meets Dewy, a magical and cheerful water droplet who becomes her guide in an extraordinary adventure. Dewy introduces Luna to the amazing journey of water in nature, starting with the water cycle. Together, Luna and Dewy explore the high mountains where snow melts into streams, travel through rivers that nourish forests and fields, and see how water evaporates to form clouds. Dewy's explanations turn into engaging stories, helping Luna understand the vital role water plays in sustaining life on Earth. Along the way, she learns about the interconnectedness of nature and the importance of preserving water resources. Their journey takes a serious turn as they visit regions plagued by water scarcity. Luna sees the struggles of communities and animals in arid lands, where every drop of water is precious. She witnesses the effects of pollution and climate change on rivers and wetlands, understanding that these issues threaten the survival of many. These experiences ignite a deep passion in Luna to find solutions for water conservation. In Africa, Luna discovers innovative technologies that bring hope to water-scarce regions. She marvels at solar-powered wells that tap into underground water sources and rainwater harvesting systems that collect and purify rain. Dewy shows her fog nets that capture water from the air and advanced filtration systems that make river water drinkable. These technologies transform lives, providing clean water to communities that once struggled. Luna visits villages where these technologies have been successfully implemented. She sees solar panels powering water pumps and gardens flourishing with recycled water. The community efforts she observes demonstrate that water conservation requires collective action and innovation. Inspired by these examples, Luna returns to Green Meadows with a determination to make a difference. Back home, Luna shares her newfound knowledge with her friends and family. Together, they start implementing the technologies she learned about. They set up rainwater harvesting systems, establish community gardens, and plant trees to protect water sources. The village soon thrives, with a steady flow of clean water, lush gardens, and more time for children to attend school and play. Luna’s village becomes a model of sustainability, showing how even small actions can lead to significant changes. She learns that water is not just a resource but the foundation of life and community well-being. Dewy’s guidance helps her understand the importance of every drop and the impact of innovation and collaboration. "The Water Wonders Journey: An Adventure in Water Conservation" is a captivating tale of exploration, learning, and action. Through Luna’s eyes, readers discover the beauty and importance of water, the challenges of conserving it, and the incredible solutions that can turn scarcity into abundance. Luna’s journey inspires young readers to become water guardians in their own communities, fostering a legacy of sustainability and hope.

Download or read book Bobbie the Wonder Dog: A True Story written by Tricia Brown and published by Graphic Arts Books. This book was released on 2016-04-12 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bob was an average-looking collie puppy in every way, except for his bobbed tail . . . and maybe that’s why the Brazier family named him Bob, or Bobbie. But he was average in no other way. In 1923, Bobbie joined Frank and Elizabeth Brazier for a cross-country drive from Silverton, Oregon, to Indiana, Frank’s home state, where they planned to visit family. During a stop in Indiana, Bobbie was chased off by loose dogs, and after a week of searching and placing newspaper ads, the broken-hearted Braziers had to give up and start the drive home. Six months to the day after he was lost in Indiana, a very thin Bobbie was spotted on a Silverton sidewalk, his coat matted, his paws raw from wear. Unbelievable as it seemed, the three-year-old dog had WALKED almost 2,800 miles to get back home. Though weak and tired, Bobbie went berserk with joy when he was reunited with his family, and from that day, all of their lives changed. In the weeks and months that followed, his story tore across the country in newspapers and even in a hardcover collection of pet stories. He was the main attraction at an Oregon home-builders convention in Portland, where thousands lined up to pet him, and he starred in a short feature film. Also, the Braziers eventually heard from people along Bobbie's homeward-bound route, places where he’d stopped long enough to recoup, and then he was gone again. These stories verified their thinking. Bobbie had done the impossible. When Bobbie died, he was buried in Portland, Oregon, by the Oregon Humane Society. Rin Tin-Tin was there to lay a wreath at his funeral, which was officiated by the mayor of Portland. This incredible story is all true, and the origins of Lassie Come Home are said to be traced to the story of Bob of Silverton, also known as Bobbie, the Wonder Dog, a Scotch collie mix.

Book excerpt: A sparkling and eye-opening history of the Broadway musical that changed the world In the half-century since its premiere, Fiddler on the Roof has had an astonishing global impact. Beloved by audiences the world over, performed from rural high schools to grand state theaters, Fiddler is a supremely potent cultural landmark. In a history as captivating as its subject, award-winning drama critic Alisa Solomon traces how and why the story of Tevye the milkman, the creation of the great Yiddish writer Sholem-Aleichem, was reborn as blockbuster entertainment and a cultural touchstone, not only for Jews and not only in America. It is a story of the theater, following Tevye from his humble appearance on the New York Yiddish stage, through his adoption by leftist dramatists as a symbol of oppression, to his Broadway debut in one of the last big book musicals, and his ultimate destination—a major Hollywood picture. Solomon reveals how the show spoke to the deepest conflicts and desires of its time: the fraying of tradition, generational tension, the loss of roots. Audiences everywhere found in Fiddler immediate resonance and a usable past, whether in Warsaw, where it unlocked the taboo subject of Jewish history, or in Tokyo, where the producer asked how Americans could understand a story that is "so Japanese." Rich, entertaining, and original, Wonder of Wonders reveals the surprising and enduring legacy of a show about tradition that itself became a tradition. Wonder of wonders, miracle of miracles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A compelling investigation of navigation in the animal kingdom.' Mail on Sunday 'David Barrie, who himself has sailed the oceans using a sextant, is passionate about navigation and describes in delightful detail the myriad ways in which animals get around ... eye-opening book.' Frans de Waal, New York Times 'Only a sailor could relate the navigational powers of both humans and animals with such appreciation, excitement, and precision. Thank you, David Barrie, for taking us along on these riveting voyages by sail and wing, hoof and flipper. We arrive surprised, delighted, and awed.' Sy Montgomery, author of The Soul of an Octopus 'Immensely entertaining... [Barrie] is an admirably reliable and assiduous guide to what we do and don't yet know.' Andrew Holgate, Sunday Times 'Barrie has a good eye for colourful detail.' Kathryn Hughes, Mail on Sunday 'This is a must-read for anyone fascinated with the wonders of nature.' Publishers Weekly In Incredible Journeys, award-winning author David Barrie takes us on a tour of the cutting-edge science of animal navigation, where breakthroughs are allowing scientists to unravel, for the first time, how animals as various as butterflies, birds, crustaceans, fish, reptiles and even people find their way. Weaving interviews with leading experts on animal behaviour with the groundbreaking discoveries of Nobel-Prize winning neuroscientists, Barrie shines a light on the astounding skills of animals of every stripe. Dung beetles that steer by the light of the Milky Way. Ants and bees that navigate using patterns of light invisible to humans. Sea turtles, spiny lobsters and moths that find their way using the Earth's magnetic field. Salmon that return to their birthplace by following their noses. Baleen whales that swim thousands of miles while holding a rock-steady course and birds that can locate their nests on a tiny island after crisscrossing an entire ocean. There's a stunning diversity of animal navigators out there, often using senses and skills we humans don't have access to ourselves. For the first time, Incredible Journeys reveals the wonders of these animals in a whole new light.
