Download or read book The Fog written by Kyo Maclear and published by Tundra Books. This book was released on 2017-05-16 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A clever and whimsical environmental fable about a bird who is a human-watcher from a dynamic author-illustrator duo. Warble is a small yellow warbler who lives on the beautiful island of Icyland, where he pursues his hobby of human watching. But on a warm day, a deep fog rolls in and obscures his view. The rest of the birds don't seem to notice the fog or the other changes Warble observes on the island. The more the fog is ignored, the more it spreads. When a Red-hooded Spectacled Female (Juvenile) appears, Warble discovers that he's not the only one who notices the fog. Will they be able to find others who can see it too? And is the fog here to stay? Kyo Maclear's witty story, brought to life with the delicate, misty artwork of Kenard Pak, is a poignant yet humorous reminder of the importance of environmental awareness.

Download or read book The Great Fog written by H. F. Heard and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2016-07-05 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories blending science fiction and horror, including a classic that predicted the terror of climate change. It starts with common mildew—mold appearing where it has never grown before. A strange kind of mold, it spreads across the entire globe in a matter of months. Although it’s harmless, it’s an indication of something much more terrifying. Without our noticing, the Earth’s climate has changed. But as the world’s greatest scientists rush to save the planet, they realize it may already be too late. The balance of nature has been disturbed, and mankind is about to become an endangered species. “The Great Fog” is a chilling piece of hard science fiction that predicted global climate change decades before it became a reality. Like the other stories in this volume—including “Eclipse,” “The Crayfish,” and other classics—it shows author H. F. Heard at his best. A spiritualist, scientist, and early advocate of environmentalism, Heard was one of the leading thinkers of his day. A colleague of Aldous Huxley, author of the legendary Brave New World, he used his unique background to redefine the budding field of science fiction, producing elegant, odd short fiction that still “makes the flesh creep [and] the conscience crawl” (Time).
Download or read book Aug 9--Fog written by Kathryn Scanlan and published by MCD. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A heartrending reassemblage of a life in its waning moments Fifteen years ago, Kathryn Scanlan found a stranger’s diary at an estate auction in a small town in Illinois. The owner of the diary was eighty-six years old when she began recording the details of her life in the small book, a gift from her daughter and son-in-law. The diary was falling apart—water-stained and illegible in places—but magnetic to Scanlan nonetheless. She became obsessed with the object. After reading and rereading the diary, studying and dissecting it, for the next fifteen years she played with the sentences that caught her attention, cutting, editing, arranging, and rearranging them into the composition that became Aug 9—Fog (she chose the title from a note that was tucked into the diary). “Sure grand out,” the diarist writes. “That puzzle a humdinger.” Followed by, “A letter from Lloyd saying John died the 16th.” A whole state of mourning reveals itself in “2 canned hams.” The result of Scanlan’s collaging is an utterly compelling, deeply moving meditation on life and death. In Aug 9—Fog, Scanlan’s spare, minimalist approach has a maximal emotional effect, haunting the reader long after the book ends. It is an unclassifiable work from a visionary young writer and artist—a singular portrait of a life that so easily could have been forgotten.

Book Synopsis Fish, Fog, Frogs (And Other Stories) by : Jackie Lutes
Download or read book Fish, Fog, Frogs (And Other Stories) written by Jackie Lutes and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-04-05 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "big round table" in the author's childhood home was the place to eat and talk, the place where her parents engaged in after-dinner chess matches, the place where her father made simple repairs to, e.g., radios, lamps, etc. But in the author's memory it is, best of all, the place where her father told imaginative and engaging "tall tales" presented in a style characterized by humorous digressions, a warm confidentiality and a nonsensical logic that dared one not to believe what would seem to be unbelievable. In "Fish, Fog, Frogs (and other stories)" during a visit to her childhood home (and the "big round table"), the author encourages her father to share his stories with her children (his two grandchildren). With only a little urging, he begins with the tale of his pet (crime-fighting) fish. He feigns a hesitancy to continue but before the family leaves the table, Jennifer and Jonathan have heard six of his most famous tales. Though the reading level is for 4th-6th grades, the stories and setting make this a book for all ages, encouraging families to leave their "big flat screen TVs" and find their own version of a "big round table" where they can identify the stars and supporting cast of their own family legends, keeping alive memories of people and experiences that have helped to shape who they are.

Book excerpt: Book Excerpt: which he could retreat unhaunted by the child's presence. He took long tramps, avoiding the river with a sensation next to panic. It was two days before he got back to his table, and then he had made up his mind to let the boy live. To kill him off, too, was more than his augmented stock of human nature could endure. After all, the lad's death had been purely accidental, wanton. It was just that he should live--with one of the author's inimitable suggestions of future greatness; but, at the end, the parting was almost as bitter as the other. Orth knew then how men feel when their sons go forth to encounter the world and ask no more of the old companionship. The author's boxes were packed. He sent the manuscript to his publisher an hour after it was finished--he could not have given it a final reading to have saved it from failure--directed his secretary to examine the proof under a microscope, and left the next morning for Homburg. There, in inmost circles, he forgot his children. He visited in several Read More
