Wild life under the equator : narrated for young people

Paul B. Du Chaillu

Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In "Wild Life Under the Equator: Narrated for Young People," Paul B. Du Chaillu presents an engaging exploration of the vibrant ecosystems and diverse animal life of equatorial Africa. Written with a captivating narrative style, Du Chaillu combines vivid descriptions and fascinating anecdotes to transport readers into the heart of the tropics. The book blends scientific observation with a storyteller's flair, situating itself within the 19th-century context of natural science exploration and colonial curiosity, making it both an educational resource and an enthralling adventure for young audiences. Paul B. Du Chaillu, an American explorer and anthropologist of French descent, was one of the first to bring detailed accounts of African wildlife to Western readers. His extensive travels through the African interior, where he encountered various cultures and unique species, informed his writing. Du Chaillu's deep fascination with the natural world and commitment to conveying its wonders to younger generations inspired this compelling work, ensuring that it resonates with readers fascinated by nature and adventure. I highly recommend "Wild Life Under the Equator" for young readers eager to discover the wonders of wildlife and the significance of biodiversity. Du Chaillu's enthralling narratives not only ignite curiosity but also instill a sense of appreciation for the natural world, making it an essential addition to the library of any budding naturalist or explorer.

The One Who Loves You the Most

medina

I have never felt like I belonged to my body. Never in the way rhythm belongs to a song or waves belong to an ocean.  
 
It seems like most people figure out where they belong by knowing where they came from. When they look in the mirror, they see their family in their eyes, in their sharp jawlines, in the texture of their hair. When they look at family photos, they see faces of people who look like them. They see faces of people who they’ll look like in the future.  
 
For me, I only have my imagination.  
 
But I’m always trying. 
 
Twelve-year-old Gabriela is trying to find their place in the world. In their body, which feels less and less right with each passing day. As an adoptee, in their allwhite family. With their mom, whom they love fiercely and do anything they can to help with her depression. And at school, where they search for friends.  
 
A new year will bring a school project, trans and queer friends, and a YouTube channel that help Gabriela find purpose in their journey. From debut author medina comes a beautifully told story of finding oneself and one’s community, at last.
