A Lone Bird in Flight by Ray Marik Pdf

A Lone Bird in Flight is a poetry collection that explores three major themes: living under the crush of good and bad that befalls us day to day and year to year; a deep concern for America and the fate of democracy; and a look at “dwindling years” as he writes about fears, happiness, dying, lost love, twilight years, and other themes reflecting 90+ years of living. All proceeds from the sale of this book are donated to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation to provide financial support to wounded warriors, and scholarships to children whose parent died in special ops activities.

The Lone Bird by Dianna L. Grayer Pdf

The Lone Bird is a story about a sweet bird that is treated meanly by other birds as they are flying across the sky, leaving her alone and lonely. The Lone Bird is sad and feels rejected and very confused. She doesn't understand why the other birds are mean to her! However, on her journey through the sky she hears a voice that speaks to her and cheers her up. Her sadness turns to joy as she realizes that she is not alone and that she has done the right thing by not following the mean birds. She learns that if she stays positive and does the right thing she will be okay and she'll be able to find other positive and friendly birds like herself to play and have fun with. She feels hopeful as she flies across the sky, singing and twirling blissfully. The illustrations are beautiful and inviting. As the Lone Bird travels across the sky learning about life, the reader gets to fly alongside her and sees the luscious green rolling hills and the brilliant blue skies. The journey takes place in the beauty and comfort of the countryside where the many farm animals and other critters are grazing in the fields and enjoying each other.

Birds of Madagascar and the Indian Ocean Islands by Roger Safford,Adrian Skerrett,Frank Hawkins Pdf

This major new field guide covers Madagascar and the Indian Ocean islands, including the Seychelles, Coromos and Mascarenes (Mauritius, Réunion and Rodrigues). The Malagasy region contains one of the most extraordinary concentrations of biodiversity in the world. Its recognition as a zoogeographic region in its own right has recently been confirmed and, all taxa combined, the region was found to hold the second most distinct assemblage of vertebrates in the world after the Australian region, despite being the smallest of them all. This new field guide in the Helm Field Guides series covers the whole of the Malagasy region, which comprises the unique island of Madagascar and the various islands and archipelagos of the Indian Ocean including the Seychelles, Comoros and Mascarenes (Mauritius, Réunion and Rodrigues). Every resident and migrant species is covered in full detail with a colour distibution map for each species. Vagrants are also treated in detail, but without maps. All species are illustrated on a beautiful series of 124 colour plates, with artwork from John Gale and Brian Small. Conveniently, the plates have been arranged so that all the key species of the various archipelagos are placed together in sections. This is a major work of reference on the birds of the region and will remain the standard text for many years to come.

A young warrior who wields both the power of her music and the strength of her sword faces a grave threat in this enthralling historical fantasy. Bard and fighter Liobhan is always ready for a challenge. So when news arrives at Swan Island that the prince of Dalriada has gone missing after an assault by both masked men and the sinister Crow Folk, she's eager to act. While Liobhan and her fellow Swan Island warriors seek answers to the prince's disappearance, the bard Brocc, Liobhan's brother, finds himself in dire trouble. His attempts to communicate with the Crow Folk have led him down a perilous path. When Liobhan and her comrades are sent to the rescue, it becomes clear the two missions are connected--and a great mystery unfolds. What brought the Crow Folk to Erin? And who seeks to use them in an unscrupulous bid for power? As Liobhan and Brocc investigate, it will take all their strength and will to continue pursuing the truth. With the safety of their loved ones in the balance, the risks they must take may cost them everything.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on the Applications of Evolutionary Computation, EvoApplications 2011, held in Torino, Italy, in April 2011 colocated with the Evo* 2011 events. Thanks to the large number of submissions received, the proceedings for EvoApplications 2011 are divided across two volumes (LNCS 6624 and 6625). The present volume contains contributions for EvoCOMPLEX, EvoGAMES, EvoIASP, EvoINTELLIGENCE, EvoNUM, and EvoSTOC. The 36 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. This volume presents an overview about the latest research in EC. Areas where evolutionary computation techniques have been applied range from telecommunication networks to complex systems, finance and economics, games, image analysis, evolutionary music and art, parameter optimization, scheduling, and logistics. These papers may provide guidelines to help new researchers tackling their own problem using EC.

The Handbook of Bird Identification by Mark Beaman,Steve Madge Pdf

Birding is one of the most popular activities and pastimes in Europe and so it follows that it is essential to be able to identify the birds on view, be it in the back garden or for making more serious in-depth studies. This book aims to bring together as much information as possible in one volume, using extremely detailed, up-to-date guides and identification of every species known to have occurred in Europe and the West Palearctic, that is, the whole of Europe, North Africa as far south as the Central Sahara, the Middle East to the border of Iran, the Azores, Madeira, Canary Islands, the islands off Mauritania and the Cape Verde islands, as defined by Cramp and Simons 1977. They have certainly been successful in doing so and have produced a wonderfully comprehensive guide covering nearly 900 species, showing a wide range of differing plumages. The colour plates are exquisite and have been painted by some of Europe's leading bird artists. The text is clear and can be followed by beginners but finer points of identification are included for the benefit of more serious bird watchers. Particularly helpful is the cross-referencing of the text and colour plates. There are more than 600 colour maps to identify where the birds are to be found, which are simple and easy to use with excellent descriptions of status and habitat.
