Download or read book Yellowlegs written by John Janovy and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2016-08-02 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Yellowlegs John Janovy again displays his rare talent for making the scientific accessible and the personal universal. The result is a an extraordinary parable of man and technology. It is also an intensely personal account of one man's journey toward an understanding of himself, of his fellow man, and perhaps most important, of the secrets of a single sandpiper–a Tringa flavipes, or lesser yellowlegs. We fly with Janovy's Yellowlegs from its nesting grounds in the Canadian north to South America and back. And along the way we join a slightly crazed biologist who leaves his university position, withdraws his life savings from the bank, and decides to follow the bird on its odyssey. Starting on the sand flats of Nebraska, and progressing across Kansas and down to the Gulf of Mexico (with a brief stop in Oklahoma jail), our migratory route brings us into contact not only with the wild creatures of the American West, but with the people–a few of whom are pretty wild themselves–with whom Janovy talks, drinks, and debates. Seldom has the life of a wild creature been so intimately and vividly described. Seldom have hard science and mysticism been more successfully and lyrically combined. There can be little question that Yellowlegs will take its place a classic of nature writing at its best.
Book Synopsis A Rage for Falcons by : Stephen Bodio
Download or read book A Rage for Falcons written by Stephen Bodio and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-10-27 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thus begins the tale by Stephen Bodio, a lover of birds and nature, of the incredible connection between man and birds of prey. Falconry can be traced back over four thousand years and, as Bodio says, “it is amazing that the practice did not die out soon afterward when its first adherents starved.” With a new introduction by Helen MacDonald, A Rage For Falcons not only shares the history of falconry, but shows the personal side in a way only Bodio can share. With masterful prose and breathtaking imagery, you not only understand how falconry has lasted, but why. As Bodio so appropriately notes in his introduction: “To understand falconry, you must understand the nature of the relationship between man and bird.” In A Rage For Falcons, Bodio explores this incredible relationship and how it has affected him as a person. Never has such a personal touch been put on a sport that has lasted generations, which many people still do not have a grasp of. That’s what makes Bodio so great. While his words may not convince you to take up the sport, will certainly open your eyes to appreciate a world unlike any other.

Book excerpt: Short Story Press Presents Along The Prairie Winds by Daniel Newcomer Tyler and Caroline live an almost perfect life of love and marriage after buying a farm and taking on the many challenges that farm life provides. Everything was going well for more than ten years, until one night at the end of another terrible harvest brought on by drought when the entire foundation of Tyler and Caroline’s relationship was tested after a sudden accident in the field. Their prized and most beloved horse, Marquis de Sade, collapsed without any explanation, and upon breaking the news to Tyler, the happy couple dived into conflict of what they could possibly do to save the horse. Although they are worried about the upcoming winter months and their ability to survive, both Caroline and Tyler have different ideas regarding what they’ll do with Marquis. The conflict that evolves and the measures they take to solve this problem surrounding the horse begins to illuminate the meaning of a long-lasting love, while both Caroline and Tyler begin to see something else that was hidden within each of them, leading to a startling discovery that will forever change their relationship as they know it. Along The Prairie Winds is a story of love and conflict, and how these two things relate and can manifest other issues in disastrous situations. Short Story Press publishes short stories written by everyday writers.

Book Synopsis One Thing — Then Another by : Claire Kelly
Download or read book One Thing — Then Another written by Claire Kelly and published by ECW Press. This book was released on 2019-04-16 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A poetic response to the tumult of a move across country One Thing — Then Another is a collection of poetry divided into three unique sections: “East” explores the constraints of living under the poverty line in a have-not province. “And” is a long poem about moving in a U-Haul across the prairies during an ice storm. “West” considers what it means to live in the have-est of have provinces and trying to acclimate to that alongside an ever-present drought. The poems are largely about contrast: east to west, flood to aridity, poverty to comfort, small town to city. Throughout this accessible, smart, and funny collection, there are many descriptions of apocalyptic upheaval to reflect the feelings of disruption that often accompany relocation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cousineau’s wanderlust has driven him to visit nearly 100 countries as a backpacker, documentary filmmaker, travel writer, photographer, and art and literary tour leader. For him, travel gives us what his mentor Joseph Campbell called “the key to the realm of the muses.” As author of the best-selling travel book The Art of Pilgrimage, Cousineau continues to crisscross the world as a travel writer, filmmaker, and host of Global Spirit. The Book of Roads: Travel Stories from Michigan to Marrakech is the culmination of a lifetime of travel experiences, from the steel factories of Detroit to headhunting villages in the Philippines, the war-torn villages in the Balkans to the river roads of Canada once traversed by his voyageur ancestors. His rhapsodic travel stories place him in the league of fellow travelers who are also masterful writers, such as Pico Iyer, Jack Kerouac, Jan Morris, and Beryl Markham.
