What was the state of wildlife in Britain and Ireland before modern
records began? The Atlas of Early Modern Wildlife looks at the era
before climate change, before the intensification of agriculture,
before even the Industrial Revolution. In the sixteenth to
eighteenth centuries, beavers still swim in the River Ness.
Isolated populations of wolves and lynxes linger in the uplands.
Sea eagles are widespread around the coasts. Wildcats and pine
martens remain common in the Lake District. In this ground-breaking
volume, the observations of early modern amateur naturalists,
travellers and local historians are gathered together for the very
first time. Drawing on more than 10,000 records from across Britain
and Ireland, the book presents maps and notes on the former
distribution of over 160 species, providing a new baseline against
which to discuss subsequent declines and extinctions, expansions
and introductions. A guide to identification describes the reliable
and unreliable names of each species, including the pre-Linnaean
scientific nomenclature, as well as local names in early modern
English and, where used in the sources, Irish, Scots, Scottish
Gaelic, Welsh, Cornish and Norn. Raising a good number of questions
at the same time as it answers many others, this remarkable
resource will be of great value to conservationists,
archaeologists, historians and anyone with an interest in the
natural heritage of Britain and Ireland.
If you look carefully, you can find them and be amazed! These
secret pools form every year when low places on the forest floor
fill up with rain and melted snow. They soon become home to
hatching wood frogs, spotted salamanders, and fairy shrimp. Even in
late summer and fall, when many vernal pools have shrunk to mud
holes, creatures such as turtles and snakes rely on them for
shelter and food. The Secret Pool introduces young readers to the
wonders right underfoot as the voice of a vernal pool shares its
secrets through the seasons, and sidebars provide fun facts on its
inhabitants and the crucial role these small, often overlooked
wetlands play in maintaining a healthy environment. This edition
includes new backmatter features about wetland habitats and animals
for classroom use and reader interest.
This colorful book introduces children to 50 ordinary men and women
who God gifted with extraordinary courage to accomplish incredible
things. Hannah kept a promise. Daniel remained faithful to God in
difficult times. Peter repented. And Joseph of Arimathea was kind
and generous. What do these and the other Bible heroes featured in
this book have in common? They weren't perfect, but they were
courageous and bold, each in their own way. Each short,
easy-to-read chapter profiles a different Bible hero and shows how
they exhibited bravery and overcame their own weakness and
seemingly impossible challenges to achieve amazing things. This
kind of epic courage can only be found when we place our faith in
God. As boys and girls read these captivating accounts, they will
learn to love God more intentionally, and they will begin to
believe that the Lord will equip them with courage when they need
it the most.
Men of Fearless Faith Meet men who have used their God-given
talents to live out their faith to the fullest. They come from a
variety of backgrounds, eras, and ethnicities, but each one has
answered the Lord's call on their life in bold and innovative ways.

Methodist Episcopal Church Tim Tebow-athlete, Heisman trophy
winner, and outspoken follower of Christ Father Damien-priest who
dedicated his life to helping lepers in Hawaii These and the 45
other defenders of the faith featured in this book have made a
profound impact on the world around them, and in many cases changed
the course of history. Strong, smart, and sometimes outspoken,
these men are tremendous examples of God's love in action. These
inspiring profiles will captivate kids' imaginations and encourage
them to discover their own gifts and how they can use them to
glorify God.
Winner of the Raz/Shumaker Prairie Schooner Book Prize in Fiction,
Boundless Deep, and Other Stories is a portrait of a family that
holds together despite everything. By turns introspective, surreal,
and bitingly funny, this collection of linked short stories spans
seven decades across Japan and the United States and shows the
tenacity of relationships fractured by language and distance. At
the funeral of her old boss, a grandmother confronts the legacy of
the draft letters she delivered as a girl during World War II.
Facing the loss of his job, a father becomes the caricature
strangers have always believed him to be. A graduate student living
far from home is worn down by the reality of what it takes to save
even a small piece of the world. Along the way, we meet communist
revolutionary Shigenobu Fusako hiding out in a Tokyo hotel,
submariner and war criminal Nishina Sekio in his tortured dreams,
and Edwin, a half-dolphin friend, wreaking havoc in a public pool.
Written in the compressed style of Amy Hempel and Lucia Berlin,
these stories examine characters whose struggles submerge them,
weighing them down from every angle, until they can finally float
free. Â
Narrated in the poetic voice of the estuary itself, and accompanied
by natural-history sidebars about estuary plants, animals, and
cycles, THE SECRET BAY is another topnotch nature book from the
author and illustrator of the award-winning, bestselling The Secret
Pool. A stand-alone book and a stunning companion volume to Ridley
and Raye's award-winning Secret Pool. Ridley deftly augments the
estuary's lyrical narrative voice with sidebars about the plants,
animals, and natural processes of an estuary. Raye's gorgeous
watercolors reveal new features and hidden treats with each
reading. Back matter includes The Estuary Food Web, Great Escapes
(how estuary animals avoid predators), and an author's note about
the challenges facing estuaries. A perfect book for the budding
naturalist and for his or her parents and teachers. Fountas &
