Moose

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Jackson, Kevin, PUBLISHER: Reaktion Books, Its hooves were supposedly a cure for epilepsy; it is the mascot of the Seattle Mariners baseball team and the clothing company Abercrombie & Fitch; and its meat is a delicacy. The moose is a fascinating but elusive animal of the north, and its little-known natural history is the focus of Kevin Jackson's engaging new book. "Moose" explains moose's biological history and describes its natural environments around the world, including Canada, New England, Alaska, and Scandinavia, where the moose is the national animal of Sweden and Norway. Jackson considers why the moose is really an elk and an elk is a wapiti, and he also looks at the controversy behind the naming of the Irish Elk. "Moose" explores the animal's role in human history since the Stone Age, including the "alces" in Julius Caesar's history of the Gallic Wars and its influence on figures such as poet Ted Hughes and Theodore Roosevelt and his Bull Moose Party. "The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show," a 150-foot statue being built in Sweden, and colorful moose lore all appear in this wide-ranging study, making this an essential read for naturalists and moose lovers alike.

Pants on Fire (Lib)(CD)

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Cabot, Meg, PUBLISHER: Listening Library, It's just that telling the truth is so... tricky. She knows she shouldn't be making out with a drama club hottie behind her football-player boyfriend's back. She should probably admit that she can't stand eating quahogs (clams), especially since she's running for Quahog Princess in her hometown's annual Quahog Festival. And it would be a relief to finally tell someone what really happened the night Tommy Sullivan was spray-painted on the new wall outside the gymnasium-in neon orange, which still hasn't been sandblasted off. After all, everyone knows that's what drove Tommy out of town four years ago. But now Tommy Sullivan has come back. Katie is sure he's out for revenge, and she'll do anything to hang on to her perfect (if slightly dishonest) existence. Even if it means telling more lies than ever. Even if, now that Tommy's around, she's actually-no lie-having the time of her life.

Growing a Better America: Smart, Strong and Sustainable

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Leavell, Chuck / Craig, J. Marshall, PUBLISHER: Mercer University Press, Since the arrival of European settlers in the sixteenth century, America's population has grown to more than 310 million people and is expected to reach 400 million around the mid-s. Her lands have seen the rise of tens of thousands of cities; millions of homes, office buildings, and skyscrapers have been constructed, and rail and interstate highway systems now sprawl across the country. Over eighty thousand planes fly through her skies every day; her soils have been plowed repeatedly, and she has suffered from dust bowls, erosion, polluted air and water, and declining ecosystems. She is resilient, yet how much more can she take? In his fourth book, Growing a Better America, commonsense environmentalist Chuck Leavell helps us understand how we can repair some of the damage we've done and how, in the future, we can balance our need for growth with our need for natural lands, green spaces, clean air and water, and a healthy lifestyle.

Through Australian Eyes: Colonial Perceptions of Imperial

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hassam, Andrew, PUBLISHER: Sussex Academic Press, In the last twenty-five years of the 19th century, around visitors from Australia landed in Britain. As members of the colonial elite, they sailed to the Old Country to experience their Britishness: they toured Westminster Abbey; they visited graves of parents; they threw snowballs at Christmas. Yet they were also aware of themselves as Australians. In , one Irishman wrote of his birthplace: 'The north of Ireland is a disgusting climate for an Australian who loves his blue skies and glorious sunshine.' Even London could disappoint: I have seen many curious things here not to be seen at home but it's not half the place I expected to see - hardly worth coming for.' Colonial Australians were British, but not of Britain, and their diaries and letters offer a distinctive insight into nineteenth-century Britain. Using unpublished diaries and letters, this book offers a unique and cross-disciplinary approach to Cultural History. It considers both British and Australian national identities as the products of cultural displacement.

Nothing was too good for them. If they needed help, he was there.

A Year's Turning

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Viney, Michael, PUBLISHER: Blackstaff Press, This memorable journal of one year in a remote cottage on the west Irish coast is destined to become a classic of Irish nature writing. For nearly twenty years, Michael Viney's popular column in the Irish Times, "Another Life, " has captured the beauties and mysteries of the natural world in Ireland. This lyrical month-by-month journal affirms his reputation as a uniquely gifted, compassionate, and informed commentator. A Year's Turning chronicles his family's life of self-sufficiency in the country. Viney weaves personal memories and reflections as he observes the effects of one year's passing on the land, animals, and landscape around him, to create a "mosaic of all the years, each month an essay in remembrance." He begins with January and the snow, gale-force winds, and rough seas. Come June, the house "breathes gently, all doors and windows open to whatever breeze there is...besieged by light." Come December, it ends, or begins again, the year's turning. This is the culmination of two decades lived close to land and its creatures.

Big Nate from the Top

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Peirce, Lincoln, PUBLISHER: Andrews McMeel Publishing, "Big Nate," a.k.a. middle schooler Nate Wright, is eleven years old, four-and-a-half feet tall, and the wunderkind creation of cartoonist Lincoln Peirce. Nate is also the star of six novelized books to be published by HarperCollins, the first of which debuted on the "New York Times" children's best-seller list. This "Big Nate Collection" collects Peirce's "Big Nate" strips, originally published only in newspapers. For those not familiar with "Big Nate," think "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" meets "Calvin and Hobbes." Nate is a self-described genius and a sixth-grade Renaissance man equipped with only a #2 pencil and the unshakable belief that he is destined for greatness (a fortune cookie told him so). He fights a daily battle against overzealous teachers, undercooked cafeteria food, and all-around conventionality. He's the original rebel without a clue, alternately abrasive and endearing to classmates and teachers alike. Throughout Peirce's "Big Nate Collection," Nate blazes an unforgettable trail through the sixth grade at P.S. 38, earning straight As in laughs (and numerous detentions) along the way.
