Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 90 percent of West Africa's rainforests have been destroyed, and many amphibian species are on the verge of extinction.

Only twenty-eight individuals of this species are known to be existing. This book is a poetic narration of the gory tale of two giant squeaker frogs who happen to be the last of their kind.

But unfortunately, when they thought they had found a new home, an ugly avalanche of misadventures befalls them. Eventually, the frogs are dragged to court to fight for their natural right to life.

Book excerpt: In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards. Through engaging anecdotes and inspired advice, profiles of home gardeners throughout the country, and interviews with scientists and horticulturalists, Lawson applies the broader lessons of ecology to our own outdoor spaces. Detailed chapters address planting for wildlife by choosing native species; providing habitats that shelter baby animals, as well as birds, bees, and butterflies; creating safe zones in the garden; cohabiting with creatures often regarded as pests; letting nature be your garden designer; and encouraging natural processes and evolution in the garden. The Humane Gardener fills a unique niche in describing simple principles for both attracting wildlife and peacefully resolving conflicts with all the creatures that share our world.
