Summary

Dove Facts offers a comprehensive exploration into the world of doves, examining their biology, cultural significance, and ecological roles. This book delves into why doves have been perceived as symbols of peace and hope across cultures for millennia. Intriguingly, doves possess remarkable homing abilities, navigating vast distances using a combination of magnetic reception, celestial navigation, and olfactory cues. The book also highlights how their gentle nature is supported by physiological adaptations, including unique vocalizations that strengthen social bonds within flocks.

 
The book progresses from exploring the biology of doves to their historical and cultural importance, and finally to their ecological role and conservation. Specific examples include the dove's representation of the Holy Spirit in Christian iconography, and its use in secular contexts to advocate for peace. The book emphasizes the importance of seed dispersal and nutrient cycling by doves in various ecosystems, while also addressing the threats they face due to habitat loss and climate change.

 
Dove Facts integrates insights from ornithology, cultural anthropology, and environmental science, making it valuable for bird enthusiasts, students, and anyone interested in nature and life sciences.

    "Throw Out Fifty Things" is truly an eye-opener.  According to Blanke, our lives are so filled with junk from the past—from dries up tubes of crazy glue to old grudges—that it's a wonder we can get up in the morning, never mind get to work, care for our children and parents, and just put one foot in front of the other.  Blanke wants to start a movement across America of people throwing out fifty things (magazines count as only one!) that will help liberate us from the stuff—both physical and mental—that clutters our lives.  It’s the physical stuff that keeps us from being happy and calm in our house—not to mention keeps us from finding our keys in the morning!  And it's the clutter in our mind that drags us down and holds us back from living the life we want to live.  Blanke takes us through each room in the house and helps us get rid of 'toxic' possessions that remind us of failed relationships, bad jobs, etc., then she'll help us figure out what to keep so we can move forward and find out who we really are!

    Together We Can - 33 Marathons...

    Peter Baines OAM

    Together We Can is the inspiring story of an amazing feat. On 1st of December 2024, at the age of 58, Peter Baines set off in the extreme heat and humidity from the north of Thailand to run 1400km over 26 days, averaging 60kms per day. Peter's goal was to raise $1 million. Peter Baines had been a leading forensic investigator with the NSW Police before he was deployed to Bali in 2002 after the bombings, and then to Thailand after the Boxing Day tsunami. It was during the aftermath of the tsunami that Peter started the Hands Across the Water charity. The biggest impact upon Peter during his work in Thailand was meeting a group of Thai children orphaned by the tsunami. Returning to Australia, Baines made a commitment to support these 32 children who were living in the tent in the grounds of a Buddhist temple. The initial objective of the Hands Across the Water was to build a home for these children, and it was this first home that marked the finishing line of the Run to Remember, exactly 20 years to the day of the tsunami. Together We Can is not a story of one man s 20-year commitment to children and communities in need. Nor is it simply a story of physical achievement the likes of which many simply cannot comprehend. It is the celebration of what can be achieved together. It is the celebration of the best of humanity, through what were often the most difficult times.One of the main learnings from this incredible feat of endurance (running the equivalent of 33 marathons in 26 days) was that although Peter was the only person who completed the run, it took a team to get him across the finishing line. The lessons are invaluable for businesses, organisations and sports teams and it is these lessons that remain with Peter (and hopefully the reader) long after the blisters have healed.

    After chasing a peaches and cream feral cat, with a mourning dove dangling from its mouth, through the yard, everything changes for Laura DiNunno. 
    Mourning the recent loss of her soul dog, and moving to upstate New York, she can’t seem to shake off the grief of pet loss and this little cat becomes a much-needed distraction. 
    What begins as innocently as throwing scraps of food out to a starving, and very pregnant, feral cat turns into feeding a small family of felines. But when tragedy strikes and two of the kittens die, the mother and her remaining babies are more vulnerable than ever. Now the broken-hearted human, who never cared for cats, finds herself in a “wild” relationship with them. 
    Filled with heart, and humor, this is the story of the ups and downs of a feral mom and her kittens, and the human they adopted, as they go from wild and struggling in an unforgiving landscape to mostly tame and living their best life inside.
