The Black Bird 'Conversation with a Spiritual Seeker' is a short book set out in a conversation format between the author and a woman called Sara, a self confessed seeker of spiritual enlightenment. The author is a teacher of mindfulness meditation at the South East Cancer Health Centre in Purley, and also a voluntary teacher at the Royal Marsden Hospital in South East London. The author brings into the conversation the parallels between the sometimes voluntary dissolution of the self on the spiritual journey and involuntary loss of self when faced with critical illness such as cancer. The book covers a wide range of spiritual concepts such as non-duality teachings and touches on Zen and meditation practices. Even though the book is less than sixty pages long it packs a hard punch and encourages the reader to ask some serious questions about exactly what the spiritual path is about and who is the one seeking it.

In Vietnam Robin Moore became on the of the first true “embedded” journalists, training and fighting alongside America’s most elite fighters. Though fictionalized, The Green Berets exposed the American public to the horrors of the ground war in Vietnam, and gave the men of the Green Berets the recognition they deserved. Here is the tale of the courageous South Vietnamese girl posing as an anti-American Communist to capture the Viet Cong officer who murdered her family. Here is the graft and double-dealing of South Vietnamese officers undercutting America’s war effort. More importantly, here are America’s soldiers showing unimaginable bravery in the face of a determined and deadly enemy. With a foreword by Major General Thomas R. Csrnko reflecting on the history and future of this elite fighting unit, The Green Berets stands as an enduring classic. “One of the most exciting war books.” —London Sunday Telegraph Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade, Yucca, and Good Books imprints, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in fiction—novels, novellas, political and medical thrillers, comedy, satire, historical fiction, romance, erotic and love stories, mystery, classic literature, folklore and mythology, literary classics including Shakespeare, Dumas, Wilde, Cather, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.

The story of an expedition in search of the world's rarest and most exotic amphibians. On August 9, 2010, 33 teams from 21 countries were dispatched to search for the Lost Frogs identified by Conservation International. On their list were a host of species including, in the top ten most wanted, the Rio Pescado Stubfoot Toad, found only in Ecuador - which was to prove a triumphant rediscovery. Several months, a number of key rediscoveries - such as the Elegant Tropical Frog, last seen in 1937 and the Chalazodes Bubble-nest Frog - last seen in 1874 and two new species later, the Search for Lost Frogs had generated more than 650 news articles in 20 countries and over a billion potential viewers. Author Robin Moore was responsible for spearheading the Search for Lost Frogs and coordinating the teams. He also co-led two expeditions to Colombia and Haiti. In Colombia in search of the Mesopotamia Beaked Toad, the steamy jungles of the Choco yielded not the desired species but a brand new one - the Mr. Burns Toad, so-called because of an uncanny resemblance to the Simpsons' character; the species was selected as one of Time magazine's top ten new species of 2010. In Haiti the team found six frogs last seen 20 years before, including the Ventriloqual Frog, named for its ability to throw its voice. This fascinating new book tells the story of the expedition - its highs and lows, discoveries and failures and the campaign's ongoing work. Despite the campaign, one third of the world's amphibians remain threatened with extinction. Most of the species searched for were not found. But those that were provide a glimmer of hope. Understanding why these species have survived when many others have not should help us understand what makes these species different. In Search of Lost Frogs is a story of perseverance, disappointment, rediscovery, resilience, but ultimately of hope, written with passion and illustrated with the author's superb photographs.

Creating a Family Storytelling Tradition

Follow Wildlife Biologist and Bigfoot Hunter Dr. Morgan Tanner as he joins a research team searching the forests of the Pacific Northwest for a creature who walks like a man and has an uncanny ability to melt into the shadows. The team is confident that their sophisticated technology will lead them to the beast. The Question is: What will they do once they find him? This is the fictional account of the only successful Bigfoot expedition in North America, created especially for Bigfoot enthusiasts from age 8-adult. From Chapter One:Snow was falling, light as a whisper, on the dense Hemlock forest.Here, at the extreme western end of Canada, in the wilds of British Columbia, in the rugged mountains just north of the tiny logging town of Squamish, a man could literally disappear, living for years in silence and seclusion.Sometimes Dr. Morgan Tanner had wanted to do that--just melt away into the woods and become solitary and hermit-like. But he had never completely severed his ties with the human world.He still kept his small, two-room apartment in Squamish. He still sent letters and answered phone calls as a way of keeping the Bigfoot Research Center alive. He still collected his royalty checks from the six-volume set of biology textbooks he had written decades ago, when he was a respected college professor and wildlife biologist.Now, at the age of fifty, he still clung to the idea that someday, after so many years of ridicule and misunderstanding, people would realize that what he hunted was not a legend or a hallucination--it was real, as much a part of the landscape as the grizzly or the otter or the humpback whale.Over the years, he had interviewed dozens of people who claimed to have spotted the big beast. He had personally seen hundreds of the creature's tracks. And one memorable night, when he was camped with Charlie Boatknife up along Sechelt Inlet, he had heard an unearthly sound--a long, drawn-out howl which shook the snow from the tree branches and set Charlie's dogs to barking.But in all those years of searching, he had never laid eyes on the beast the Indians called Sasquatch, "The One Who Walks Like A Man". Today he was driving the old logging road, bouncing along in his four-wheel drive pick-up truck, when he spotted a set of long-striding tracks crossing the snow-covered road in front of him.Tanner slid the truck to a stop and shut off the ignition. In the sudden quiet, he pushed the door open and stepped out. The snow was not very deep, barely reaching the tops of his boots. The wintry air was cold on his bare hands, but he decided to leave his gloves tucked into his coat pocket. He reached around to the gun rack and took down his high-powered .30 caliber rifle, cradling it in the crook of his left arm. Quietly, he closed the truck door.Tanner padded across the road and bent over the tracks, being careful not to step on them. Because the snow was soft and windblown, the edges of the footprints had collapsed, making them difficult to read. But one thing was clear--the tracks were fresh, very fresh."It could be a bear," Tanner thought.But there were no claw marks."Maybe a hunter," he surmised.But the stride was very long. If this print was made by a man, he would have to be a very tall one.The tracks were massive, a good fifteen inches long. And wide, wider than any human foot could ever be. For a moment, Tanner allowed himself to think that maybe he was on to something, something he had hunted with a passionate intensity for more than twenty years.To be continued...

Principles of Animal Nutrition deals with classification and function of nutrients, deficiency symptoms, digestive processes, characterization of feedstuffs and formulation of diets for domestic animals. Animal nutrition entails the study of the composition and characteristics of the material consumed by the animal, the manner in which this material is metabolized (converted, utilized, and excreted) in the digestive tract and body cells of mono gastric animals (pigs, broilers, layers), ruminants (sheep, cattle, goats), and lower digestive tract fermenters (horses, ostriches). The nutrient requirements of different species animals for various production functions are also addressed. Nutrition is important for a variety of reasons. Animals need the proper nutrition for growth and maintenance, and to provide energy for work and vital functions. Maintenance is the nutrition required for an animal to maintain its current weight. Energy is the ability of the body to perform functions. Proper nutrition is also needed to maintain body temperature, produce milk, reproduce, and develop proper bone structures. Without proper nutrition, animals can develop health problems, which could result in treatment costs or even fatality. Good nutrition is essential for all of the systems of an animal to function and work together properly. This book contains the fundamental and basic information of subject and the selection of contents makes it an appropriate book for the students as well as for scholars.
