Lonely Planet Kids' How Animals Build is a beautifully illustrated
lift-the-flap hardback that explores the incredible world of animal
architects. Children can open flaps and unfold spreads to discover
amazing animal homes up high, underground, on land, and under the
sea. From spider webs and rabbit warrens, to bird nests and ant
colonies, and even coral reefs and beaver lodges, we reveal the
secrets to these extraordinary structures and how they're built. Do
bees need cement mixers to build hives? Do beavers use cranes to
construct dams? No, of course not! Like many animals, they're
building geniuses who don't need building site tools to create
incredible work. Welcome to nature's very own, super-clever world
of construction. Created in consultation with Michael Leach,
wildlife expert, speaker, photographer, filmographer, and author of
over 20 books on subjects ranging from big cats and owls to great
apes and bears. Themed topics include: Apartment Block with

Stopped on the way to attacking his high school with an assault
rifle, Tim Hutchinson knew that life was the battlefield, and fate
his merciless enemy. Painful Secrets is the shocking true story of
one young man's battle against bullies, drugs, firearms, gangs,
prostitution, the KKK and a downward spiral that was sure to
plummet him into an early grave. Homeless, suicidal, and out of
options, he dreamed of rebuilding the tangled wreckage that barely
resembled a life. Pushed into the darkest corners of life - across
the street from hell, he became homeless, suicidal, and was out of
options. Yet he dared to dream of rebuilding the tangled wreckage
that barely resembled a life. This memoir details how the mentoring
of a holocaust survivor turned his life around so dramatically,
that some hardened criminals were shocked into reality and now live
by Hutchinson's example. Tim is now a motivational speaker who
visits K-12 schools and clearly shows students, teachers and
parents how to stop the violence, bullying, and drug abuse that is
so prevalent in almost every community. Using his life as an
example, as described in Painful Secrets, Tim has already stopped
four school shootings and prevented over fifty teen suicides. He
has also been a consultant on youth issues with the U.S. Department
of Justice and MTV. He is additionally proud that his daughter is
the youngest person in America to be awarded the 'Medal of Valor'.
Painful Secrets clearly shows how any teen can escape from the
tangled web of hate and violence, and go on to lead a successful,
happy life. It also serves as a deterrent for those who have not
yet taken the wrong fork in life.
