Book Synopsis The Adventures of Balto by : Pat Chargot
Download or read book The Adventures of Balto written by Pat Chargot and published by Publication Consultants. This book was released on 2014-08-25 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Balto, the great Alaska sled dog, has been dead since 1933. But he still stands larger-than-life on Dogdom's Mount Olympus, where the world's great canines are immortalized. Yet few people know Baltos true story. Only one small part has been told, and even it has been distorted. Several Balto books have been written. There's even a Balto animated movie, but it, too, is largely fiction. (Balto was NOT part wolf!) Like the books, the movie leaves off where this book begins — and tells the best part of the story. Balto was only three years old when he helped carry serum across Alaska from Nenana to Nome to save the town's children from diphtheria. As leader of the last dog team in the life-saving relay race, he became an overnight sensation — a BONEa fide international celebrity. But much more happened after that. Balto lived for eight more years. His days unfolded like a sled expedition to the North Pole, carrying him in an exhilarating rush over smooth snow one minute, an icy hummock the next. And how does the new story end? With a heart-thumping surprise that you can't imagine — and neither could have Balto. Hook up your harness, step into Balto's booties, and mush off to Balto's true story.
Book Synopsis Bicycling with Butterflies by : Sara Dykman
Download or read book Bicycling with Butterflies written by Sara Dykman and published by Timber Press. This book was released on 2021-04-13 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “What a wonderful idea for an adventure! Absolutely inspired, timely, and important.” —Alistair Humphreys, National Geographic Adventurer of the Year and author of The Doorstep Mile and Around the World by Bike Outdoor educator and field researcher Sara Dykman made history when she became the first person to bicycle alongside monarch butterflies on their storied annual migration—a round-trip adventure that included three countries and more than 10,000 miles. Equally remarkable, she did it solo, on a bike cobbled together from used parts. Her panniers were recycled buckets. In Bicycling with Butterflies, Dykman recounts her incredible journey and the dramatic ups and downs of the nearly nine-month odyssey. We’re beside her as she navigates unmapped roads in foreign countries, checks roadside milkweed for monarch eggs, and shares her passion with eager schoolchildren, skeptical bar patrons, and unimpressed border officials. We also meet some of the ardent monarch stewards who supported her efforts, from citizen scientists and researchers to farmers and high-rise city dwellers. With both humor and humility, Dykman offers a compelling story, confirming the urgency of saving the threatened monarch migration—and the other threatened systems of nature that affect the survival of us all.
Book Synopsis Adventures of a Zoo Director by : Steve H. Taylor
Download or read book Adventures of a Zoo Director written by Steve H. Taylor and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2021-10-21 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a very young age growing up in southern California, Steve Taylor, knew he wanted to do something with his life to save wildlife and wild places. What he didn't know then, was how much fun it would be. During his career he met many interesting people and interacted with many fascinating animals. This book tells those stories. Steve was born in 1947 and grew up in Inglewood, California, just outside of Los Angeles. He didn't have an early mentor when it came to animals, but he had a passion. He would collect various lizards and amphibians and keep them in cages behind the garage. After reading several books by British zoologist, Gerald Durrell, he knew he wanted to work in a zoo. A couple of years after graduating with a degree in Biology from the University of California, Irvine in 1969 he took an exam at Hollywood High School along with 1200 others to get a job as an animal keeper at the Los Angeles Zoo. Having the seventh highest score on the exam, he was soon hired. While at the Los Angeles Zoo, he took his first of many "zoo trips." On this trip he traveled on Greyhound buses and saw nineteen zoos in thirty days. He worked hard and continued studying biology at Long Beach State University while looking for opportunities to advance his career. While giving a paper at a regional conference entitled, Mother-Infant Behavior of the Scimitar-horned Oryx, he met the Executive Director of the San Francisco Zoological Society who offered him a job as manager of the children's zoo. It was like having his own zoo. In fact, he actually lived in the children's zoo so he would be available if an exotic animal had to be hand-raised. His favorite were two young orangutans. From there he moved on to become the Director of the Sacramento Zoo. His dream had now come true - he was a Zoo Director at 34-years old. It was a small zoo, but with an impressive animal collection. During his tenure he created a plan to expand the Zoo from its 12-acres. Unfortunately, there was considerable opposition by a neighborhood group. When recruited to become director of the 180-acre Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, he accepted it. In this book he shares his insights into leading a zoo and the successes and some mistakes he made during his long career. The most interesting stories involved the people he met, some famous like Betty White, and many not so famous. The animal stories, including orangutan and gorilla escapes that fortunately ended with no harm to the apes or staff, show the uniqueness of running a zoo. Having seen over 350 zoos and aquariums worldwide, Steve takes a bold step in this book by sharing his opinion of the best zoos and aquariums in the world, although freely admitting that others have differing opinions. Travel has been Steve's other passion and most of his travel involved viewing wildlife or attending various zoo and/or conservation meetings. He has led over thirty African safaris, plus led groups on other ecotourism destinations. In 2002, he walked with friends 120 miles through Tsavo National Park in Kenya. Other than the twelve countries he has visited in Africa, he has viewed wildlife in New Zealand, Australia, Borneo, the Pantanal in Brazil, Argentina, Peru, the Galapagos Island, Costa Rica, India, every country in Central America and a few others. Retired in December 2012, Steve continued to lead safaris, attending conservation meeting, consulting, acting as a chair of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums accreditation inspection teams and being a Board member of the Akron Zoo.
