Includes bibliographical references.""It's time to come Home. All five of you. Or else." Saskia was a damaged, lonely teenager when she arrived at the lakeside commune called Home. She was entranced by the tang of sourdough starter; the midnight call of the loons; the triumph of foraging wild mushrooms from the forest floor. But most of all she was taken with Abraham, Home's charismatic leader, the North Star to Saskia and the four other teens who lived there, her best and only friends. Two decades later, Saskia is shuttered in her Connecticut estate, estranged from the others. Her carefully walled life is torn open by threatening letters. Unless she and her former friends return to the land in rural Maine, the terrible thing they did as teenagers--their last-ditch attempt to save Home--will be revealed.

- Great Lakes untamed. [videorecording] / by McIntyre Media,distributor.;
The Great Lakes watershed is one of the world's largest freshwater ecosystems. 4,000 kilometers of coastline and are home to more than 3,500 plant and animal species. Each of the lakes' ecosystems has a unique inter-relationship with wildlife. Beavers and wolves jointly control the purity and flow of water into Lake Superior. Loons hunt fish in its clear waters. Lake Michigan has the world's largest freshwater sand dunes and the endangered piping plover. Scientists work to prevent Michigan River's invasive silver carp from entering this ecosystem. Lake Huron has one of the largest concentrations of shipwrecks in the world. Lake Erie is a bi-annual stopping point for millions of migrating birds. Pelee Island shores shelter the endangered blue racer snake. Niagara Falls, the most powerful waterfall in the world, drains the lake. Lake Ontario has the world's largest population of cormorants. Huge amounts of clean water enter it from the Ottawa River (the 6th of the Great Lakes). In the river's vast underwater cave system, millions of mussels filter the water. It will take 200 years for a drop of water to flow from the source of Lake Superior to the mouth of the St. Lawrence River, the largest estuary on Earth.E.DVD.- Subjects: Documentary television programs.; Nonfiction television programs.; Wildlife television programs.; Television mini-series.; Freshwater ecology; Lakes; Watersheds;

- Hardcore twenty-four / by Evanovich, Janet,author.;
"Trouble comes in bunches for Stephanie Plum. First, professional grave robber and semi-professional loon, Simon Diggery, won't let her take him in until she agrees to care for his boa constrictor, Ethel. Stephanie's main qualification for babysitting an extremely large snake is that she owns a stun gun--whether that's for use on the wandering serpent or the petrified neighbors remains to be seen. Events take a dark turn when headless bodies start appearing across town. At first, it's just corpses from a funeral home and the morgue that have had the heads removed. But when a homeless man is murdered and dumped behind a church Stephanie knows that she's the only one with a prayer of catching this killer. If all that's not enough, Diesel's back in town. The 6-foot-tall, blonde-haired hunk is a man who accepts no limits--that includes locked doors, closed windows and underwear. Trenton's hottest cop, Joe Morelli isn't pleased at this unexpected arrival nor is Ranger, the high-powered security consultant who has his own plans for Stephanie. As usual Jersey's favorite bounty hunter is stuck in the middle with more questions than answers. What's the deal with Grandma Mazur's latest online paramour? Who is behind the startling epidemic of mutilated corpses? And is the enigmatic Diesel's sudden appearance a coincidence or the cause of recent deadly events?"--- Subjects: Detective and mystery fiction.; Humorous fiction.; Plum, Stephanie (Fictitious character); Women detectives; Women bounty hunters; Murder;
