- Last dance on the Starlight Pier / by Bird, Sarah,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."Set during the Great Depression, Sarah Bird's Last Dance on the Starlight Pier is a novel about one woman--and a nation--struggling to be reborn from the ashes. July 3. 1932. Shivering and in shock, Evie Grace Devlin watches the Starlite Palace burn into the sea and wonders how she became a person who would cause a man to kill himself. She'd come to Galveston to escape a dark past in vaudeville and become a good person, a nurse. When that dream is cruelly thwarted, Evie is swept into the alien world of dance marathons. All that she has been denied--a family, a purpose, even love--waits for her there in the place she dreads most: the spotlight. Last Dance on the Starlight Pier is a sweeping novel that brings to spectacular life the enthralling worlds of both dance marathons and the family-run empire of vice that was Galveston in the Thirties. Unforgettable characters tell a story that is still deeply resonant today as America learns what Evie learns, that there truly isn't anything this country can't do when we do it together. That indomitable spirit powers a story that is a testament to the deep well of resilience in us all that allows us to not only survive the hardest of hard times, but to find joy, friends, and even family, in them"--- Subjects: Historical fiction.; Novels.; Depressions; Dance marathons; Nineteen thirties;

- Papa Goose : one year, seven goslings, and the flight of my life / by Quetting, Michael,1974-author.; Billinghurst, Jane,1958-translator.; O'Brien, Stacey,writer of foreword.; translation of:Quetting, Michael,1974-Plötzlich Gänsevater.English.;
"In Papa Goose, Michael Quetting shares the hilarious and moving true story of how he became a father to seven rambunctious goslings--and the surprising things he learned along the way. Starting right at the beginning, with the eggs, his journey takes him from the incubator all the way to the airstrip, where he must attempt to teach the geese to fly as part of an ambitious scientific research initiative for the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology, which tracks animal migrations around the world. For the next eleven months, we follow the newly minted dad as he takes the goslings on daily swims in the lake, tracks them down when they go astray, and watches their personalities develop: feisty, churlish, and lovable. Packed with charm and humor, Papa Goose quickly draws us into the adventure as Gloria, Nemo, and the rest of the crew conquer land, water, and air."--- Subjects: Quetting, Michael, 1974-; Geese; Geese; Human-animal relationships.;

- Hurricane lizards and plastic squid : the fraught and fascinating biology of climate change / by Hanson, Thor,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."In his three previous books-Feathers, The Triumph of Seeds, and Buzz-Thor Hanson has taken his readers on unforgettable journeys into nature, rendered with great storytelling, the soul of a poet, and the insight of a biologist. In this new book, he is doing it again, but exploring one of the most vital scientific and cultural issues of our time: climate change. As a young biologist, Hanson by his own admission watched with some detachment as our warming planet presented plants and animals with an ultimatum: change or face extinction. But his detachment turned to both concern and awe, as he observed the remarkable narratives of change playing out in each plant and animal he studied. In Hurricane Lizards and Plastic Squid, Hanson tells the story of how nature-both plants and animals, from beech trees to beetles-are meeting the challenges of rapid climate change head-on, adjusting, adapting, and sometimes noticeably evolving. Brown pelicans are fleeing uphill, seeking out new lives in the mountains. Gorillas in Uganda are turning to new food sources, such as eucalyptus trees (which humans only imported to Africa in the past several decades), as their old sources wain. Auklets, a little sea bird, aren't so lucky: changes in the lifecycles of their primary food source means they return at specific times of year to oceanic feeding grounds expecting plankton blooms that are no longer there. As global warming transforms and restructures the ecosystems in which these animals and others live, Hanson argues, we are forced to conclude that climate change will not have just one effect: Some transformations are beneficial. Others, and perhaps most, are devastating, wiping out entire species. One thing is constant: with each change an organism undergoes, the delicate balance of interdependent ecosystems is tipped, forcing the evolution of thousands more species, including us. To understand how, collectively, these changes are shaping the natural world and the future of life, Hanson looks back through deep time, examining fossil records, pollen, and even the tooth enamel of giant wombats and mummified owl pellets. Together, these records of our past tell the story of ancient climate change, shedding light on the challenges faced by today's species, the ways they will respond, and how these strategies will determine the fate of ecosystems around the globe. Ultimately, the story of nature's response to climate change is both fraught and fascinating, a story of both disaster and resilience, and, sometimes, hope. Lyrical and thought-provoking, Hurricane Lizards and Plastic Squid is poised to transform the conversation around climate change, shifting the focus from humans to the lattice of life, of which humans are just a single point"--- Subjects: Adaptation (Biology); Bioclimatology.; Biotic communities.; Climatic changes.; Global environmental change.;

- La maestra de vuelo / by Díaz Reguera, Raquel,1974-; Cuesta, Andrea.;
Raquel Díaz Reguera presenta una tierna historia que celebra el papel de todos aquellos que dedican su vida a la enseñanza. Trudi ha comenzado a ir al colegio. Cada día va emocionada por ver a las otras aves, y, en especial, por escuchar lo que su profe les va a explicar, y cada día regresa a casa contenta y llena de cosas para contar. Hasta que un día, Trudi regresa totalmente alicaída y con una pregunta para sus padres: «¿Por qué no me dijisteis que los avestruces como nosotros no pueden volar?» Por supuesto, ser un ave y no poder volar parece la más terrible de las tragedias. Lo que Trudi no sabe es que su maestra, la gallina Cococorina, tampoco puede volar igual que el resto. Raquel Díaz Reguera, autora de Cuando las niñas vuelan alto, pone en valor la labor de los docentes en este álbum ilustrado a todo color, ideal para que los niños y niñas a partir de 4 años entiendan lo importantes que puede ser la figura del profesor en sus vidas.From Raquel Díaz Reguera, a tenderhearted story that celebrates the role of all those who dedicate their lives to teaching. Trudi has started school. Every day, she is excited to watch the other birds and, especially, to learn new lessons from her teacher. When she gets home, she is bursting with stories to tell. Until one day, when she comes home downcast and with an urgent question for her parents: "Why didn't you tell me that ostriches like us can't fly?" To her, being a bird but unable to fly seems like the worst injustice imaginable. What Trudi doesn't realize is that her teacher, Cococorina the hen, can't fly, either! Raquel Díaz Reguera, author of Cuando las niñas vuelan alto, pays homage to educators in this colorfully illustrated volume, ideal for helping kids aged 4 and up understand the important role played by teachers in their lives.- Subjects: Picture books.; Animal fiction.; Ostriches; Birds; Teachers; Flight; Spanish language materials.;
