Summary

Mountain Animals explores the extraordinary adaptations of wildlife thriving in Earth's most challenging high-altitude ecosystems. It unveils how animals conquer thin air, frigid temperatures, and intense solar radiation. Understanding these remarkable survival strategies is increasingly vital as climate change profoundly impacts these fragile environments. Did you know some mountain animals have evolved physiological adaptations to efficiently utilize scarce oxygen, while others employ unique behavioral strategies to conserve energy? The book examines physiological adaptations, behavioral strategies, and ecological dynamics that define mountain animal survival.

 
Chapters progress from introducing high-altitude challenges to exploring specific animal groups like mammals, birds, and insects, detailing examples such as the Andean condor's soaring techniques and the pika's cold-weather strategies. The discussion culminates in conservation challenges and mitigation strategies.

 
This approach highlights the intricate balance between evolutionary adaptations, behavioral flexibility, and ecological relationships crucial for these species' survival, emphasizing the urgent need for conservation.

    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.

    Loss and sorrow can overwhelm even the strongest person, forcing them to reckon with their emotions whether they want to or not. In this extraordinary debut, Laura Julier recounts her reckoning, which took place in an old cabin tucked away on a hidden and forgotten gravel road along the Iowa River. In company with silence and snow, with eagles, owls, and a host of other birds, Julier finds solace and begins to emerge from the dark corners of grief. Over time, she comes to understand she cannot bury grief or turn aside from loss but must walk in its presence, awake and humble, until, at last, she finds her own wholeness within it.

Marshall Bruce Mathers III, known as Eminem, is an American rapper, songwriter, and record producer credited with popularizing hip-hop in Middle America. Born in 1972, he rose from poverty to become one of the greatest rappers of all time. His success is seen as breaking racial barriers for white rappers. He gained notoriety with his alter ego, Slim Shady, expressing anger through transgressive lyrics. Eminem's notable works include The Slim Shady LP, The Marshall Mathers LP, and The Eminem Show. He has received numerous awards, including an Academy Award for "Lose Yourself". In addition to music, he has also been involved in film, television, and business ventures. 
  
CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
  
Eminem was a member of several hip-hop groups, including New Jacks, Soul Intent, Outsidaz, and D12, before achieving solo success. He also collaborated with Royce da 5'9" as the duo Bad Meets Evil. 
  
Eminem starred in the 2002 film 8 Mile, playing a dramatized version of himself. The song "Lose Yourself" from the movie soundtrack won an Academy Award for Best Original Song, making him the first hip-hop artist to ever win the award. 
  
Eminem co-founded Shady Records, which helped launch the careers of artists such as D12, 50 Cent, and Obie Trice. He also established his own Sirius XM Radio channel, Shade 45.

    The Countryman Sets Forth Again is a wonderful compilation of articles covering a range of eclectic rural and countryside subjects. There is something for everyone to discover from the ancient language of field sports to the treasures to be found in old barns; the history of the landscape to dryland husky racing and much more.

Divided into seasonal sections and featuring more than forty-five chapters, many of the articles have appeared in The Field magazine. Here are all aspects of country life described in vivid detail, from the flora and fauna to the folklore. Descriptions of ancient customs feature alongside accounts of pigeon racing and hound trailing; and stories of exotic plant hunters from past centuries. Readers will encounter mad March hares, owls, ravens, bats, pike, eels, and the rare capercaillie. Other subjects include coppicing, ancient trees, hanging game, stoats, terriers and, that perennial British favourite, the weather. The author also takes us back to his childhood with memories of charcoal burners and of harvesting wild food.

Combining his engaging writing, expert insight and immense knowledge, Johnny Scott is a master at celebrating and chronicling the countryside. In this book he continues to convey his wisdom and affection for the magic of nature and rural life.
