Some animals and plants injure or kill millions of people annually, others cause trillions of dollars in property damage and loss. Such harmful species are understandably hated. However, the vast majority of the planet’s millions of species are disliked simply because of how they look and act. This bias is endangering numerous species that play important roles in maintaining both the natural ecosystems and the human economies of the world. In Defense of the World’s Most Despised Species examines the psychological motivations that lead people to make judgments about the attractiveness of species, noting the overwhelming importance of visual cues. It describes in considerable detail the physical and behavioral traits of species that lead us to love or hate them. Full color illustrations throughout present beautiful, charming animals and plants, species that seem loathsome, behavior of people in relation to such divergent species and their characteristics, and numerous explanatory diagrams of relevant biological and psychological phenomena. The aim of this book is to give readers insights into how we humans arrive at biased judgments and to promote the welfare of valuable, albeit sometimes unlovable animals and plants that consequently suffer from discrimination. Many of the ugliest, most disgusting, and feared species, such as vultures, toads, hyenas, sharks, spiders, and even the vast majority of cockroaches, in reality are some of our most valuable friends. Features Theme of the book – human preferences for and against species – is novel, scarcely examined to date. Multidisciplinary analysis, especially psychology, biological conservation science, and ecology, as well as philosophy, agriculture, urban planning, human health, and law. Text is accessible, user-friendly, concise, and well-organized, making numerous complex topics comprehensible, readable not only by specialists, but also by students and the educated layperson. Includes over 2,000 high-quality, entertaining, and informative color figures.

This book is a further continuation of the kind of content and format style that you found in this writer’s two immediately preceding books: Light and Dark 1982 edition revised. (August 2015) and its slightly younger but bigger sibling Lighter and Darker (June 2016) . If you read or sampled and liked those books then you’ll surely like this one also. That same alphabetical arrangement by title used in those productions is used here as well. That first one safaried you from Aardvark to Zeitgeist. In the second you were invited to learn About Backbones And Breakfast Foods ultimately leading to Zero Heroes. In this one you’ll go all the way from reminiscently looking at an Afterimage to uncomfortably listening to a Zookeeper’s Tale! Also, in this “A through Z” arrangement you’ll yet again equivocally encounter that same still “strange and often epileptically eclectic selection of richly mixed subjects, topics and treatments “ this writer had and still has at various times “felt some compelling need to put on paper for his own relief and the possible amusement or edification of ‘imagined others’ “ You may already be a member of this group or have promising potential for becoming one. If you’ve favorably sampled a few then this may be just the book for you or someone you know or once knew. But, caveat time, if you should have an insensitivity, let alone active dislike for heavy use of rhyme and alliteration in your random recreational reading matter then this book is definitely not for you. As I’ve previously advised, most especially to any braille reader for whom it might prove “toxic to touch” put it down immediately and move on to another safer shelf or pile. But seriously, this collection does offer a rich, full spectrum of the silly and the serious often tightly word woven within the blending body of the same composition making for a medley or mosaic of meanings often in a meandering, sometimes mildly morbid but more often, I hope, musically amusing monolog. I characterized my original collection of poem-pieces as a “runic ragout of wry rhyme writings” and this still seems adequately apt for this grouping. Of course, when it comes to the consumption of ragouts, there can be no disputing that it remains a matter of tastes. Yes, it’s still a De gustibus issue! So once again, may my critics please forbear and accept a little more saucy Ogden Nash-hash here and preferably without too much unsavory or dumb disputandum … and/or fusstibus!

Many North American plants have characteristics that are especially promising for creating varieties needed to expand food production, and there are excellent prospects of generating new economically competitive crops from these natives. The inadequacy of current crops to meet the food demands of the world’s huge, growing population makes the potential of indigenous North American food plants even more significant. These plants can also generate crops that are more compatible with the ecology of the world, and many also have inherent health benefits. Presenting detailed scholarship, a thoroughly accessible style, and numerous entertaining anecdotes, North American Cornucopia: Top 100 Indigenous Food Plants is a full-color book dedicated to the most important 100 native food plants of North America north of Mexico that have achieved commercial success or have substantial market potential. The introductory chapter reviews the historical development of North American indigenous crops and factors bearing on their future economic success. The rest of the book consists of 100 chapters, each dedicated to a particular crop. The book employs a user-friendly chapter format that presents the material in sections offering in-depth coverage of each plant. The first section of each chapter provides information on the scientific and English names of the plants, followed by a section on the geography and ecology of the wild forms, accompanied by a map showing the North American distribution. A section entitled "Plant Portrait" comprises a basic description of the plant, its history, and its economic and social importance. This is followed by "Culinary Portrait," concerned with food uses and culinary vocabulary. The chapters then provide an analysis of the economic future of each crop, discuss notable and interesting scientific or technological observations and accomplishments, and present extensive references.

A Secret Friendship. An Impossible Choice. Mage-in-training, Emolin, struggles with her place in the Altava hierarchy and her compassion for those living in servitude, especially the Paran slave, Hajana.

But when a mysterious figure claims Emolin is the one who can cleanse the land of Parans once and for all, she is forced to choose between Hajana or the lives of thousands. Hoping she can find another way, Emolin is forced to head to the other side of the country to rally Alchemist forces for the war against the Parans, leaving Hajana to wonder if the two of them were ever friends to begin with. Can Emolin come up with a plan to prevent the war? Or can Hajana discover a way to save herself?

WINNER of the 2020 Spur Award for Best Western Historical Novel In the American West, as the nation heals from the Civil War that nearly destroyed it, new battle lines are being drawn. Caleb Justin, orphaned and grieving, and his comrade Joshua Hart, a tough, worldly runaway, leave their home along the Ohio River bound for Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, intent to join Sheridan’s troops in their pursuit of Indian lands. But a badly healed foot injury ends Caleb’s dream of joining up. While Joshua is assigned to George Armstrong Custer’s troops, Caleb finds himself alone and undefended on the war-ravaged prairie, picking up whatever work he can—until his capture by Indians changes everything. Joan Monnet, daughter of a wealthy railroad magnate, is traveling West when her caravan is attacked by Indians. A timely rescue saves her life but leaves her lost on the vast American prairie with Caleb. Together, they must fight their way back to the world they once knew. But in the winter of 1868, as the snow drifts, Custer is set to turn his cavalry on a Cheyenne camp along the Washita River. Joshua, Joan, and Caleb find themselves trapped in the crossfire of one of the bloodiest battles of frontier history. Will their desperate courage be enough for them to survive?
