Book Synopsis The Buck that Buries its Poo by : Quinton Coetzee
Download or read book The Buck that Buries its Poo written by Quinton Coetzee and published by Jonathan Ball Publishers. This book was released on 2023-05-29 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is a zebra black with white stripes or white with black stripes? And why do flamingos stand on one leg while bats hang upside down? Did you know that a chameleon's tongue can shoot out at five times the acceleration of a fighter jet? In The Buck That Buries its Poo, naturalist Quinton Coetzee answers these and many other intriguing wildlife questions. He also dispels countless myths and elucidates some of the legends that surround creatures in the South African bush we thought we knew all about. For example, bats do not get tangled in people's hair (because they are far too adept at flying) and elephants are not afraid of mice (but they do fear bees!). Other tall tales you might hear around the campfire are that lions roll in animal dung, entrails or carcasses to disguise their scent, and that rhinos have a predilection for stamping out fires. What is true, though, is that hyenas are more closely related to cats than to dogs. This handy guide is based on Coetzee's own research and that of others, and his experience gleaned over decades living close to nature and wildlife. It seeks to unravel the mysteries of nature in Africa – from mammals and birds to arthropods and plants – with fascinating information and fun trivia. It is a book that will enlighten and entertain. PS: Zebras are black with white stripes!

Playing wingman for his best friend at Gravedigger's Tavern throws him way out of his comfort zone, but not as much as the eccentric man behind the bar, Ash Lucroix. Ash is everything Wyatt doesn't understand: exuberant, quirky, and elbow deep in a Gaslight lifestyle that weaves history into everyday life. He coordinates his suspenders with his tongue rings. Within hours, Wyatt and Ash are hooked. But strange things are afoot at Gravedigger's, and after a knock to the head, Ash starts seeing things that can't be explained by old appliances or faulty wiring. Soon everyone at Gravedigger's is wondering if they're seeing ghosts, or just going crazy. The answer to that question could end more than just Wyatt and Ash's fragile relationship — it might also end their lives.

A kaleidoscope of originality." —Weike Wang, acclaimed author of Joan is Okay Ro is stuck. She's just entered her thirties, she's estranged from her mother, and her boyfriend has just left her to join a mission to Mars.

When Dolores is sold to a wealthy investor intent on moving her to a private aquarium, Ro finds herself on the precipice of self-destruction. Wading through memories of her youth, Ro realizes she can either lose herself in the undertow of reminiscence, or finally come to terms with her childhood trauma, recommit to those around her, and find her place in an ever-changing world.

Download or read book Seventh Virgin written by Bel Seth and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-05-18 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before history was properly recorded, something happened on earth—a horrid event that could twist the tongue when described in the words of men. Humans and supernatural beings partnered together to contravene a law but were quickly bundled up and flushed into the bottomless pit and under the marine beds. Today, the horrors of sex slavery, abduction of beautiful young virgins from different parts of the world, and a physical, coded manifestation of fallen angels have all teamed up to pull out this ancient sin from the abyss. The seventh virgin’s story written on a parchment with bloody ink extracted from the veins of snakes and rodents must be given credence, for it—together with her knowledge of Egyptian writings and hieroglyphic drawings—could be used as tools to liberate thousands of maidens locked in African jungles and Egyptian pyramids and also prevent the rebirth of the giant race! Here comes a page-turning, supernatural, thriller novel filled with nerve-twisting suspense, heartbreak, betrayal, treachery, broken covenants, riots between terrestrial men and extraterrestrial creatures, immoral acts between a man and a deity’s bride, and pregnancies resulting from ungodly unions between virgins and supernatural beings.
