  The Book of Flaco - The World’s...

  The story of Flaco, the Eurasian eagle-owl who escaped from Central Park Zoo and captured the hearts and imaginations of millions of followers around the world. 
   
   
   
  Nature writer David Gessner chronicles the year-long odyssey of Flaco and the human drama that followed the owl who captured the imaginations of New Yorkers and people around the world. Though he'd spent his life in a cage, Flaco learned to survive in New York City by eating rats, squirrels, and birds. He was an immigrant coming from elsewhere to make it in the big city. Central Park, the island of green in an urban sea, was his new home territory. 
   
   
   
  Flaco's urban adventure brought controversy, pitting those who felt he should be returned to the safety of the zoo against those who created the "Free Flaco" movement. The birding world was fractured over the ethics of the online sharing of his location that brought scores of enthusiasts to view him each day. And his end—with a grim necropsy revealing Flaco had suffered a viral infection from eating pigeons and had multiple rodenticides in his system—serves as a Rachel Carson-esque warning about the harm we've done to our urban environments, inspiring the passage of long-sought legislation protecting urban birds and regulations meant to reduce the use of rodenticides in New York City.

  53% of CPHQ candidates fail the exam. Here’s what successful test-takers do differently. 
  While mastering all the essential concepts and topics can certainly improve your chances of earning your certification, passing the CPHQ has less to do with what you know or even how you apply what you know… 
    
  … and more to do with your overall approach to taking the exam itself. Because the chief difference between those who pass and those who fail comes down to the strategies they use to “beat” the CPHQ exam. 
    
  That’s where this book can help.

  ●     An easy-to-remember 6-point process for systematically picking apart each question on the CPHQ exam 
  ●     What to do if you don’t end up passing the CPHQ on your first try — and exactly how long this can end up delaying your certification 
  ●     Which type of question makes up more than half of all questions on the exam, and the subtle differences between each type 
  ●     2 full-length practice tests, each with 125 unique questions and detailed explanations to help you identify any knowledge gaps to focus on 
    
  And much more! 
    
  With the 2 full-length practice tests included, you’ll get to simulate the actual testing experience and spot opportunities to improve your score. 
    
  So when the big day rolls around, you’ll be confidently armed with the knowledge, skills, and – more importantly – the strategies needed to pass the CPHQ.
