Sinopsis

Toucan Facts explores the fascinating lives of these iconic rainforest birds, revealing the secrets behind their vibrant plumage and remarkable beaks. Toucans are key indicators of rainforest health, and understanding their biology offers valuable insights into these vital ecosystems. Did you know that their seemingly oversized beak is not a hindrance, but a versatile tool used for feeding, communication, and even thermoregulation? The book examines how these birds have evolved to thrive in their environment, making them a compelling case study in evolutionary biology.

 
The book systematically uncovers the intricate details of toucan biology, starting with an introduction to the various species and their geographical distribution. It progresses to examining the anatomy and physiology of the beak and plumage. It also discusses their survival tactics, challenges they face, and potential conservation strategies.

 
Through detailed illustrations and photographs, Toucan Facts bridges the gap between biology, ecology, and conservation science, making it an invaluable resource for nature enthusiasts, bird watchers, and students alike.

    A bracingly original, revelatory debut that explores cooking and the kitchen as sources of pleasure, constraint, and revolution, by a rising star in food writing 
     
     
     
    This joyful, revelatory work of memory and meditation both complicates and electrifies life in the kitchen. 
     
     
     
    Why do we cook? Is it just to feed ourselves and others? Or is there something more revolutionary going on? 
     
     
     
    In Small Fires, Rebecca May Johnson reinvents cooking—that simple act of rolling up our sleeves, wielding a knife, spattering red hot sauce on our books—as a way of experiencing ourselves and the world. Cooking is thinking: about the liberating constraint of tying apron strings; the transformative dynamics of shared meals; the meaning of appetite and bodily pleasure; the wild subversiveness of the recipe, beyond words or control. 
     
     
     
    Small Fires shows us the radical potential of the thing we do every day: the power of small fires burning everywhere.

    A compendium of traditional midwestern cookies “along with the poignant and heartwarming stories behind each recipe” (Mary Bilyeu, Toledo Blade).  The Belt Cookie Table Cookbook celebrates the tradition of the cookie table with forty-one classic recipes from authentic Mahoning Valley cookie tables and cooks. What’s a cookie table? Funny you should ask! The cookie table is a tradition beloved by residents of Youngstown, Pittsburgh, and parts in between. It has its roots in a time when wedding cakes were far too dear for newly arrived immigrants to purchase. Instead, family and friends showed their love for a bride and groom by baking from scratch hundreds (sometimes thousands) of cookies and other small sweet treats to be shared at the reception. The Belt Cookie Table Cookbook is an international baking guide, including cookies from different cultures, cookies with different textures, spices, shapes, and backstories. Simple cookies, ridiculously indulgent cookies, experimental cookies―they’re all here. And most of all it shares the tradition of the cookie table, a heartfelt way of building community that has endured through generations.   In the tradition of the community cookbook, The Belt Cookie Table Cookbook is a must for any kitchen large or small, and a great gift for bakers and home cooks.

The intelligent, endearing hound dog wins the hearts of all as he joins in with capturing a thief, escaping a house fire, and dodging trouble at a local circus.  All dog lovers will warmly embrace this book that rekindles the memories of the tenderness only a child and dog can share.  Author Ruth Sawyer, 1937 Newbery Medal recipient, penned her last book, Daddles, in 1964.

    When Dr. Ian Dunbar introduced his SIRIUS® Puppy Training in 1982, dog training mostly comprised punishing adult dogs for bad habits and lack of compliance. Dunbar focused on verbally cuing and creatively luring to achieve desirable behavior and using "life rewards"—sniffing, walking, play with dogs, and interactive games—to reinforce speedy compliance and good habits from the outset. His "dog's point of view" approach revolutionized the field, and today there are few trainers who have not been strongly influenced by it. 
     
     
     
    While positive reinforcement is now widely adopted, this new book details how other reward-training techniques have strayed from Dunbar's original, quick and easy, highly effective lure-reward approach for teaching dogs ESL, in which we can verbally cue specific responses, offer heartfelt praise for success, and give guidance when dogs err. With Dunbar's method, we can teach dogs when and where to eliminate, what to chew, when and for how long to bark, and when and how to appropriately let off steam. 
     
     
     
    Barking Up the Right Tree offers proof that aversive punishment seldom works to eliminate undesirable behavior or to get the dog back on track. Dunbar presents numerous nonaversive yet highly effective solutions for misbehavior and noncompliance—simply by using the words you teach, and without even raising your voice.
