Summary

101 tips and projects to turn your land into a haven for the furry, feathered, and finned! 
 
When you think of wildlife, do you picture creatures living in distant ecosystems or remote preserves? In reality, most wildlife in the United States lives on our private lands, in our very own backyards. But while most landowners want to help preserve the beauty of the natural environment and protect wildlife for generations to come, they’re often unsure where to begin. In Attracting Wildlife to Your Backyard, Josh VanBrakle provides 101 easy-to-follow activities and practical approaches to help do just that. Some projects include:Installing a bat box Making a food plot Identifying trees that attract wildlife Forming a brush pile Assessing a stream’s health Building a pond Learning bird calls Planning a backyard scavenger hunt  
 
Complete with stunning wildlife photographs and an appendix of practical resources, Attracting Wildlife to Your Backyard is an essential read for anyone who loves animals and cares about the environment.

By the time of his death in 1740, the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles VI, had done everything possible to secure the succession to the throne of his daughter, Maria Theresa, but practically nothing to train her how to rule. Nevertheless, Maria Theresa managed by common sense, charm, and expert advice to negotiate a forty-year reign marked by secret diplomacy, shifting alliances, relentless warfare, and ruthless realpolitik. This short biography by the Oxford historian, James Franck Bright, describes her first thirty years on the throne.

The journey starts when author and long-rider Jeremy James buys two horses from gypsies at a fair in southern Bulgaria. He and his long-suffering friend Chumpie then set off on horseback, winding northwards to Berlin, and on the way they encounter a marvellous array of local characters from all walks of life as they ride from Bulgaria to Berlin, via Romania, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Poland.

   

On a low budget, they are sustained by local fire-water, indigestible food and the forceful personalities of their horses who steal, run away, misbehave or suddenly comply at will and add a whole new dimension to the experience of travel.

After five long months, they finally reach their destination. It has taken Jeremy through an Eastern Europe full of surprises, which, with the collapse of communism, has almost disappeared today.
