This is a great garden book - wonderful advice for compact gardens and also tips and philosophies you can apply to larger areas too. But what is delightful is the author's wit. I was given the book as a gift, and at first glance it looks like a regular ol' Sunset style how-to garden book. But read the text. Brian Fawcett is quite witty as he details past successes and disasters of his own and his friends gardens, and you will get a taste of his progressive philosophies particularly when it comes to urban gardening, and just what it means to be a gardener. I am not sure if this book is even in print or not but boy do I recommend it!

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. A glimpse inside the daily life of nature's masked bandits. Children find the bandit-masked face and button nose of a raccoon irresistibly cute, and catching a glimpse of one in a neighborhood tree never fails to excite. Raccoons describes the natural history of these cousins of the panda bear and explains how that heritage helps them thrive in cities as well as in fields and woodlands. Color photographs of adults and kits in urban and natural settings give readers the chance to look more closely at these elusive creatures, and children will enjoy the amusing descriptions of the raccoon's antics and mischief. But Raccoons also shows youngsters why they shouldn't feed these brazen visitors and that, even though they share our cities and towns, raccoons will always be wild animals. In the Exploring the World of. series, Firefly Books is pleased to present an exciting new nature series produced especially for young readers who are eager to learn more about the wild animals they find especially appealing. The books are packed with facts and offer outstanding value. Clear text in large type and vivid photographs with explanatory captions describe the animals' physical attributes, and storylike narratives about their daily life -- where they live, what they eat, how they hunt, how they communicate, how they raise their young -- present a complete picture of each animal. AUTHOR: Tracy C. Read is an editor and writer who has a special interest in nature and the environment. ILLUSTRATIONS: colour photographs A glimpes inside the daily life of nature's masked bandits.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Coyotes are wily, secretive and extremely adaptive -- what young reader wouldn't be fascinated? Familiar to kids and adults alike through its many appearances in folk and popular culture, the multicoloured coyote has the gray wolf to thank for its survival. As humans eliminated wolf populations across the continent over the last century, the coyote easily filled the gap. Today it is the most successful and most numerous large predator in North America. It makes its homes not only in the wild but increasingly in suburbs and even urban centres -- the coyote is wary of humans but is quite willing to enter the human world in pursuit of food. The coyote has a curious blend of characteristics that it shares with its dog-family relatives, the wolf and the red fox. Like the red fox, it has graceful, catlike movements. Like the wolf, it can hunt in packs but may also hunt on its own or with a partner. Exploring The World Of Coyotes explains how the wily coyote achieved such great success, from its elaborate communication skills, mate selection and family life to its adaptive life skills and physical characteristics. The Exploring the World of. series is written for young readers who are curious about the natural world and the appealing creatures that inhabit it. Like its companion titles, EXPLORING THE WORLD OF COYOTES is packed with facts and offer outstanding value. AUTHOR: Tracy C. Read is an editor and writer with a special interest in nature and the environment.

Library Binding. Etat : new. Library Binding. From the book: ""I just want to make sure there are elephants around for generations to enjoy, like I have."" In 1979, the African elephant population was 1.3 million. By 1989 that total dropped dramatically to 609,000. During the 1980s, poachers killed some three hundred elephants a day. Although active measures were soon enforced to protect African and Asian elephant populations, the elephant's future is still uncertain. Elephant Rescue traces the efforts of individuals and organizations that confront the international ivory trade and lobby indigenous governments to create protective environments. One innovative program described is green hunting. Sport hunters who once shot and killed elephants are now given the opportunity to use tranquilizers. The animal suffers no harm and accompanying researchers can fit these elephants with a radio collar for further studies. The book also covers: How elephants live Ways elephants protect their families Elephants' astonishingly intricate behavior Physiology, life span, diet and more. Elephant Rescue is a fascinating book about how people and elephants can thrive in a shared environment. About the "Firefly Animal Rescue" series: The "Firefly Animal Rescue" identifies endangered and threatened species and what is being done to protect them.
