Synopsis

Hawks, as explored in "Hawk Facts," stand out as nature's remarkable avian predators, showcasing a blend of biology and behavior that underpins their hunting prowess. These raptors exhibit exceptional eyesight, allowing them to spot prey from incredible distances, and employ sophisticated hunting strategies honed by evolution. The book begins by establishing the fundamental characteristics of hawks, setting the stage for an in-depth exploration of their unique adaptations and global distribution, differentiating them from other avian species.

The book then progresses by dissecting hawk vision, flight mechanics, and ecological roles. The anatomy and physiology of hawk eyes, with their unique retinal structure enabling visual acuity and depth perception, are examined. Furthermore, it analyzes the ecological roles hawks play as apex predators, examining their impact on prey populations, and their contributions to ecosystem health. It emphasizes the convergence of specialized adaptations across biological systems that contributes to the hawk's evolutionary success, substantiated by field studies, lab analysis, and comparative genomics.

What sets this book apart is its ability to integrate cutting-edge research with accessible explanations, bridging the gap between scientific jargon and general understanding. By focusing on well-studied species and habitats, it provides a comprehensive overview of hawk biology, while also acknowledging the vast diversity that remains to be explored. This approach makes it an invaluable resource for bird enthusiasts, students of biology, and anyone keen to understand the science behind these magnificent birds.

My Booster! - He Saved My Life...

Davis Hawn

WHAT DIFFERENCE CAN A DOG MAKE?
I was about to find out. For two decades, my life was a cesspool of codependency. Fear consumed me. Life wasn’t worth living. I’d “rescued” the two addicts in my life—one an alcoholic, another a crack addict. Then a puppy I’d foolishly gifted to my crack addict became “my” puppy when I learned it was destined to be traded for crack. I wholeheartedly resented the puppy because the damned thing was always happy, and I was always sad. As a way out of my spiraling life, I attempted suicide one night. I awakened in the morning to kids knocking on my camper door, wanting to play with the puppy. Fifteen minutes later, the puppy screamed in pain. I just knew he’d been hit by a car, likely dying, because everything in life was bad. I opened the camper door, expecting the worst, but the puppy had simply run into a parked car and hurt his paw. The puppy was crying, the kids were crying, and then I too began to cry … uncontrollably.
Suddenly, the puppy and I were one, both in pain. An epiphany…a Helen Keller-like breakthrough that changed my life forever. I suddenly realized he’d tried to bring healthy people into my life, breaking the chains of codependency. I slept with that puppy in my arms for three days. Upon awakening, I looked deeply into his eyes, and promised him I’d share him with the world.
That puppy, my Booster, saved my life … twice! In My Booster, international service dog advocate and author Davis Hawn lays bare his life in the incredible story of Booster. Engaging, enlightening, hilariously funny and heartbreaking at the same time, their story shows the true power of the canine-human bond.
