Every day, in natural history museums all across the country, colonies of dermestid beetles diligently devour the decaying flesh off of animal skeletons that are destined for the museum’s specimen collection. That time-saving process was developed and perfected at the University of Kansas Natural History Museum by Charles D. Bunker, a lowly assistant taxidermist who would rise to become the curator of recent vertebrates and who made an indelible mark on his field. That innovative breakthrough serves as a testament to the tenacity of a quietly determined naturalist. Bunker was part of the small team of men who constructed and installed the famous Panorama of North American Mammals, the centerpiece exhibit of the KU Natural History Museum located in Dyche Hall. That iconic building on the KU campus was expressly built to house the collection of mounted animals that impressed the world a decade earlier at the 1893 Chicago Columbian Exposition and World’s Fair. Once the panorama was completed, Bunker turned his attention to field collecting. Bunker’s field notes provide an accurate, authentic account of several expeditions to collect such specimens as well as a rare view of the extreme hardships of fieldwork in those early days. Perhaps most notable is “Bunk’s” 1911 expedition to western Kansas, where he discovered the fossil remains of a forty-five-foot-long sea serpent—later identified as Tylosaurus proriger, an aquatic reptile from the mosasaur genus and the largest example of the species found in North America. In 2014, Tylosaurus was named the marine fossil of the state of Kansas. Birds, Bones, and Beetles tells the story of a man whose passion for learning led to remarkable discoveries, extraordinary exhibits, and the prestigious careers of many students he mentored in the natural sciences.

A Stonewall Honor Book An enchanting, riotous, and playfully illustrated debut graphic novel following a young goblin trying to save her best friend from the haunted mall—perfect for fans of Steven Universe and Adventure Time. In the eerie town of ‘Allows, some people get to be magical sorceresses, while other people have their spirits trapped in the mall for all ghastly eternity. Then there’s twelve-year-old goblin-witch Beetle, who’s caught in between. She’d rather skip being homeschooled completely and spend time with her best friend, Blob Glost. But the mall is getting boring, and B.G. is cursed to haunt it, tethered there by some unseen force. And now Beetle’s old best friend, Kat, is back in town for a sorcery apprenticeship with her Aunt Hollowbone. Kat is everything Beetle wants to be: beautiful, cool, great at magic, and kind of famous online. Beetle’s quickly being left in the dust. But Kat’s mentor has set her own vile scheme in motion. If Blob Ghost doesn’t escape the mall soon, their afterlife might be coming to a very sticky end. Now, Beetle has less than a week to rescue her best ghost, encourage Kat to stand up for herself, and confront the magic she’s been avoiding for far too long. And hopefully ride a broom without crashing.

The tumultuous 1960s have passed and given way to the turbulent 1970s where chaos is the word for world politics, war, protest, and vast changes in social reforms, music, art, and virtually all aspects of global civilization. Santa Fe, New Mexico is no exception to these experiences. The family and friends comprising the Warrior Spirit Investigations firm and its alliances have found rich lives with new opportunities, children, and personal and professional growth and challenges. The group and their city have moved past the terror of the infamous “Vampire Killer” that stalked young women in Santa Fe and across the country over decades. But a new killer has emerged from the shadows and his presence is becoming clearer as innocent men and women vanish and fall prey to a misguided search for personal justice and a cleansing of old grievances. During this growing threat, a young woman has appeared on the scene and presents the Grayhawks with a surprising request—find her true identity. An amnesiac with no history past the last five years has come to them as a last resort to reclaim her past and determine her future. Using their talents and undaunted fortitude Memphis, Tucson, Sand, Swan, Percy, Nick, and their devoted and determined associates forge ahead to uncover the ruthless killer and the elusive past. But will their pursuits achieve the desired results or will the unknown pull them into a psychological quagmire that will change their futures?
