Sinopse

Regional bird field guides are few and far between in South Australia and Chris Baxter's photographic guide to the birds of Kangaroo Island is the stand-out in this genre. This comprehensive account covers all 267 bird species recorded on the Island or offshore over the seas. It builds on the annotated list produced by the same author in 1989 and revised in 1995. The photographs provided by some of Australia's most highly regarded photographers beautifully illustrate the detailed descriptions of the birds, their habits, habitats, breeding, status, abundance and distribution on the Island. In addition there are recommendations on where to look for each species, with cautions about not getting too close to endangered birds and their nests. Chris Baxter has called on a lifetime of bird watching on Kangaroo Island and observations from visitors and residents to present an attractive field guide that is a must for all birdwatchers from casual observers to serious ornithologists.

Each week, more than three million listeners tune into Wait Wait . . . Don’t Tell Me! to test their knowledge of the week’s news. In the popular “Not My Job” segment, a celebrity guest must answer three questions on a topic totally outside his or her area of expertise. The topic seems random but is thoughtfully skewed. 
Because Henry Winkler played Fonzie on Happy Days, host Peter Sagal asks him about Ponzi schemes. For indie rock singer Neko Case, the questions are about Necco Wafers. Baseball Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr. holds the record for most consecutive games played; the Wait Wait team pitches him stumpers about sports’ real streakers—those without clothes. Jane Goodall, who studies wild chimpanzees, is met with questions about actor Nicolas Cage. And so on. Twisted and tricky, it’s all in good fun for panelists, celebrities, and especially the audience.Contents:Introduction by Peter SagalNeko CaseHenry WinklerCal Ripken, Jr.Tavi GevinsonMike RoweBrian WilliamsJane GoodallGeorge Porter, Jr.Susan OrleanVince Gill

As I write this in May of 2020 the annual travel season is upon us. There are travel guides on lots of subjects and locations. 
This book is kind of an unusual travel guide to ancient and (mostly) unusual sites in the USA. Most persons think that the United States doesn’t have much in the way of Ancient ruins and they would be wrong. 
There are amazing ruins all over the country, and some are not even accepted by conventional archeology or anthropology as being real. These sites are fascinating and some are mysterious in terms of who built them and when? 
This book is divided into five sections: 
·        Ancient Archeological Sites 
·        Prehistoric Sites of Ancient Man 
·        Strange Modern Places 
·        More Indian Archeological Sites 
·        Captivating Natural Sites

Radio’s dark alleys and rain-swept side streets were prowled by plenty of detectives – but, only one of them sat down each week at the piano, after the felons were safely jugged, and crooned to his girlfriend. Dick Powell, the tenacious man with the sweet tenor voice, stars as Richard Diamond, Private Detective! 
Diamond is a delightfully unpredictable detective – as much inclined to shoot off his mouth in a tight spot as he is to shoot off his gun – who can take more than his share of punishment from goons and gunsels without having his sense of humor take a beating. 
These 8 digitally restored and remastered episodes co-star actress Virginia Gregg as Helen Asher and Ed Begley as Lieutenant Levinson. Wilms Herbert pulls double duty, playing both Desk Sergeant Otis and Helen’s butler Francis.

With the 75th anniversary of Citizen Kane in May 2016, Harlan Lebo has written the full story of Orson Welles's masterpiece film. The book explores Welles's meteoric rise to stardom in New York and the real reason behind his arrival in Hollywood and unprecedented contract with RKO Studios for total creative control. It also delves into the dispute over who wrote the script; the mystery of the "lost" final script; and the plot by Hearst to destroy Welles's project through blackmail, media manipulation, and other tactics. The author finally examines the surprising emergence of Citizen Kane as an enduring masterpiece.Using previously unpublished material from studio files and the Hearst organization, exclusive interviews with the last surviving members of the cast and crew, and what may be the only surviving copy of the "lost" final script of the film, Citizen Kane: A Filmmaker's Journey recounts the making of one of the most famous films in Hollywood history.
